yes, you're correct. However, it is a censuring of a "right" in that if I go to a doctor and receive treatment and don't like the treatment...I should by the inherent right of our freedoms be able to post my opinion about it.
This is lame. I'm so tired of hearing/reading about crap like this, it just frustrates me. How dare I voice a negative opinion about some stupid doctor's office? Please.
This article reminds me of my first MOS in the Marine Corps, I was supposedly a "Main Frame Operator", a fancy way of saying I was supposed to be a tape ape. This was in 1993. They've since changed that MOS to a generic Computer Operator. The good thing for me? I never touched a main frame the entire time I was in. (after I got out, that's a different story)
Hmm, it appears my "real" MOS 4066 has now been turned into a strictly programming MOS. Interesting. At the time they were a different MOS, 4067 I think. 4066 used to be small systems specialist or some such crap. I did networking, Banyan Vines and then later, NT 3.51 support. Banyan was such an underrated server OS. Loved it. Novell and Microsoft really ripped those guys off.
1-800 Contacts will never get any of my business ever.
I suggest anyone who can use them stops as well.
That's the only vote we have any more it seems.
I'm not in Utah, could not care less about Utah, but this is flat out scummy and should be punished by hitting a company like this in the only place it hurts, their bottom line.
Northern Virginia man thinks California politician should worry about more important things in their state instead of whether or not a line is blurred on a map.
Things like the ridiculous budget deficit. Or the quagmire that is illegal immigration...etc, etc.
Sure, blur a line on a map, but why not fix the things that are more important?
The only issue I have with it is that I can only use one monitor (without buying a hacked-together third party box to enable two monitors) with the version I have. I use CoRD and a few other awesome tools...it's perfect for what I do, except for that pesky only one monitor thing.
So if the new version has support for dual monitors, I'm all for it.

For me, the mini is awesome. Now, since the new one has support for 4GB of ram and a larger HDD, I'm seriously considering upgrading to it. (Either that or a MBP...depending on if the "Man" will authorize the price difference.)
Heh, yeah, guess I did. Still, having to click submit three different times or wait a certain amount of times shows a ham-fisted approach to handling flooding.
There are other ways to do it, but I guess slashdot doesn't care.
That's the huge reason there's several year gaps between posting for me, personally.
Look here, Captain Logicboy, don't go answering this submission like it's nothing other than a publicity ploy/stunt.
In other words, it's not funny, don't laugh, and more importantly, don't take it seriously.;)

From what I understand, (not Canadian) a lot of that has to do with age-based leagues in Canadian Jr hockey. A 6yr old kid who is born in Feb, for example, has to wait until the next season to play because "they're not old enough" age-wise for the league that requires you to be at least 6 years and 6 months to play.
So they're older (or the inverse is true) when they start in that particular league.
Something like that. I hope one of our Canadian members can either blow that theory out of the water or back it, one or the other.;)

He might get you for breach of contract
Since when did receiving and paying for medical care become a contract?
That's the thing that irks the snot out of me, it's a frigging SERVICE not a contract.

There outta be a law....:D
see subject.
You can't ban free speech, at least not in this country.
Although they're working on it.
(really, they wouldn't know if there was a security issue in any app until Legal departments tell them)
Maybe that's the problem.
No, they just aren't doing it this time around. But that doesn't fill the requisite MS bashing quota.

step 2 ????
step 3 profit! (for the companies involved, not you, good little consumer, you)
Rebrand the box before it's too late!
I suggest DuDu.

It's more fun to perpetuate a myth.
Look, it even got them mod points. HEHE!
the technology cycle is kinda funny. first it was dumb terminals, then the push to get everything on the desktop, now we're back to dumb terminals.
Wohoo. Queue up some Elton John.
Don't forget your robot insurance, especially if the little ones are going to be around their grandparents much...

I love that this got modded "informative". No offense intended to Albio intended, but seriously...
At that age, all I wanted to do was go outside and play.
For what it's worth, I agree with you. Of course, in my day GI Joe's were a foot tall and my Tonka truck was made out of metal.

I run a mac mini as my primary desktop at work.

The whole process is retarded.
Slowdown Cowboy! You type faster than two office drones bumping uglies on a keyboard!
(Seriously, fix this. There's no need for it.)
Probably doesn't suck at all for this guy, I'm sure he doesn't care at all. Maybe his family and friends, but he probably doesn't care one bit.

too bad it can't be powered by a human running in a ball instead of a hamster.
Lord knows most people could use the exercise. :P

not necessarily in that order.
