i have a hard time caring about who's album they have done this to. the fact that they are doing these things, and using such a high selling group to do it is discouraging. i can see it now..."Look at these numbers, we sold more protected cd's than not this month, I guess the attention span of America has gone somewhere else..."
just wonderfull. if Metallica does this, than i will be seriously upset...
the ideas behind a "well rounded education" are solid.
"they" do not want us to be drones, so focused into one interest that we lose the abilities to interact with one another.
"they" want us to have multiple interests, so we can be "well rounded adults."
this does tend to cause problems, that universities are not eqipped to fix.
no matter what you go to school for, regardless of where you end up working, you will not be fully prepared. every business is different, even like businesses have different communities and different idealogies that no school could ever prepare someone for. (think office politics)
this could explain the rise in the number of technical schools. things like specific training, lifetime job placement, small class size and others are very attractive to prospective students.
And I bet you don't understand why they hate us either...
You are an idiot!
I do not support the terrorists, and I think they should all be shot/maimed/raped/stoned/tarred and feathered/whatever, but stupid sentiments like yours can only make things worse.
Being "P.C." is for sissies, being stupid is for most.
most of you do realize that if there is a Mastercard/Visa symbol on that debit/bank/check card that it can be used as a credit card (i.e. no PIN), right?
with my old bank, Bank of America, it saved me money to use it as a "credit card" when buying gas, snacks, strippers, or whatever. every time i used the card at a non-BofA terminal and entered my PIN, i paid a fee! i think it was $1.50US. my sis used to work at Wells Fargo, and it was the same story there.
thus, the establishment _FORCED_ me to save time in order to avoid the fee:)
The problem with OS/2, besides that it sucked compatability wise; Microsoft. M$ wrote most of it for IBM, than the deal went sour and IBM was stuck re-doing it, in typical "BIG BLUE" fashion (throw 1,000 programmers at it and hope...)
M$ had done so many cheap write arounds for the code to work, IBM was stuck scratching their proverbial asses trying to figure it out, while watching Gates go from millionaire to billionaire. Unlike M$, IBM wanted it to work now, not do the M$ "ship it now, fix it later" style of programming.
It is sad to see alot of parallels in the history of OS/2 to the current situation with Linux. M$ had no real competition at the time, so they could get away with it. Linux on the other hand has an entirely different situation, they are David, amd M$ is Goliath.
Actually, the government assumes we are too stupid to vote intelligently. That is why, when we vote for POTUS, the Electoral College does the voting that matters. I think that we proved this this past November.
But how many of my fellow Americans can figure this out?? We seem to forget that we are _NOT_ the center of the universe. Just because we change what we do does not mean anyone else does, or even cares for that manner!
Once the general population figures that one out and starts to think _GLOBALLY_, then things have a chance of being "fixed."
Until then, we should discuss things, and hope that we (as a whole) don't get duped into doing something irrational, expensive, and useless.

I think the FAA and other federal agencies are starting to think in the proper manner. The security measures to be changed right away are definitely a step in the right direction:
1. No carry-on luggage.
2. No curbside luggage check-in.
3. No luggage check-in at hotels.
Number one is a great thing, no we don't have to wait so long to get off of the plane once we get to our destination.
Number two is fine, I personally don't trust curbside check-in. The only time I have ever lost luggage was when it was checked-in curbside.
Number three is good too. I don't need to wait longer at a hotel to leave because the counter person's are busy dealing with the airlines business, luggage.
Of course, this is a rather lazy society. We hate to wait; if things are going slower than normal, most people complain. Usually without understanding why, or feeling any compassion for those trying to get the job done. With these first new security measures being implemented, lines will be longer, and so will the wait. And what do we get? A better chance of making it to where we planned, safely, and in one piece.
I think we should applaud those who are trying to make things safer for us, and help them to do it better.
i run a Thunderbird 1200MHz with a Abit board, and the chipset (kt133a) is causing all kinds of headaches. we have tried RH 6.2/7.0/7.1 with both the 2.0 and 2.2 kernel. is there a fix? should i try a different distribution?
if i leave the machine running (seti) overnight, or for a few hours, it locks. nothing to do but reboot and hope reiserfs still works:)
Slashdot Mirror
www.mozilla.org is the way to go. 0.9.4 absolutley screams compared to some of the older builds, and the mail client works too :)

is this the best way? for some.
for me? no.
but this is America, and we have a choice!
"genious"
that pretty much says it all about you, now doesn't it?
And I bet you don't understand why they hate us either...

world war one??
DaimlerChrysler merger?? All the same things were said about costs reductions and the like, and look where that got them. Let Compaq die!
why do we have to be reminded not to flame?? It makes M$ bashing sooo much fun, why not these guys too?
Late?? Lame?? YES!!! This brings down the already sketchy content of /. Can you do me a favor....and try?
How many of us have said this in the past?
infinite...it keeps growing, and we can't measure all of it...plus, if there is a finite value, what is on the other side? Black space? Anti-Space??
nope. it runs cooler than my friend's asus board, and his does not have this problem. running all the same stuff.
