Perhaps someone could invent a NEW standalone grammer-checking internet appliance for Hemos:
While it won Comdex's Best in Show in 2000, it hasn't been pushed by either AOL or Gateway, and is now unavailable anywhere.
should be
While it won Comdex's Best in Show in 2000, it hasn't been pushed by either AOL or Gateway, and isn't available anywhere.
or even
While it won Comdex's Best in Show in 2000, it hasn't been pushed by either AOL or Gateway, and is now unavailable everywhere.
In either case I can't say I'm going to cry myself to sleep over this, I think the idea is somewhat silly. Why spend so much for an appliance when PC's are THAT much better and are remarkably cheap these days? Just my two cents.....
That's awfully noble of you!
Do you avoid Wal Mart because they put small companies, local buisinesses, etc. out of business? Do you avoid driving because of the evil automobile corporations that pollute our planet? Do you make your own clothes because your sick of selling out to corporate clothes companies?
Your idea, while noble, is very difficult to carry out in modern America....
Just my two cents
I think what you have just posted is not only ridiculous, but remarkably offensive as well. I'm not going to jump out and say that M$ is a fair and just company, but comparing them to Nazi Germany is simply absurd. I'd rant and rave more but your comment was so udderly sophomoric that it's not worth replying to.......
"a desire to not support M$'s predatory business practices"
I don't see this as a valid reason to dump any OS. Although I prefer not to use MS product$, I feel that functionality will always win out over the company's business practices......
Let it be known that I had a funny post, and being a karma wh0re I would have gotten my 'earnings' (karmically speaking) for the day. unfortunately the Slashdot ASCII art filter moderated me, no matter how simple I made the message....
So, since I need karma, here's my lame attempt at a 'funny' mod:
Might I remind you that it's very difficult for a government to keep tabs on the other 5 billion people in the world and make sure that *each* one of them isn't planning some sort of terrorist action against the US......
Oh, we could definitely work with the NA. I was just pointing out that Katz made an error by noting that this won't be like any war we've ever been in. I think while it bears remarkable similarities to the Vietnam war, we can win this by collaborating with the NA, whose commanders know the terrain extremely well....
I think Katz is overlooking some basic points here. He ends the article by noting that we have no idea what kind of war we're in for yada yada yada. On the contrary, I think we know exactly what kind of war we're in for - Vietnam. If you disagree, I might point out that this war has a great deal of similarities to Vietnam. Among them:
-We'll be in a country halfway across the world.
-We're unfamiliar with the terrain and fighting an enemy that knows the terrain better than we do.
-We're fighting an enemy that is extremely unconventional. That is to say that we're not doing battle with Iraq here, we're going to battle where we'll bring in brute force and the enemy will employ guerilla tactics.
-This would be a war where our superior military technology is more or less useless. I'm sorry, but tanks and stealth bombers don't do us much good when the enemy is hiding in a cave.
-One word: Logistics.
While I think we can gather what type of war this could be/will be, I think by all means it is necessary. I was on IRC yesterday when someone pointed out that we shouldn't take military action against Osama since he's innocent until proven guilty. Well the folks, my question is: What do you do when you have a confirmed (yes, he has claimed responsibility for certain attacks) terrorist who won't give himself up living in a country whose current (current, not legal) government is on the virge of declaring a jihad against the West and refuses to extradite said terrorist?
I say blast Osama (not the whole bloody country), but that's just my 17 cents......
