I never complained about the quality. I'm pretty sure few people have. I tried digital cable for three months and thought is sucked. Interrupted movies. Pixelated scenes. Heck, did that with an antenna withought coughing up $80/month.
First, you can't possibly meet che challenges for tomorrow unless you begin seriously addressing them today. This includes issues from population overcrowding, space arms race to depletion of resources.
Second, it will always be more exciting for humans to see other humans taking risks to push the knowledge and experience envelope. Similarly, I don't dream of the day I can toss a rock into space. I dream of the day I can visit space.
How does crap like this get modded up? We're still below unemployment levels I was told were theorical minimums in economics classes in the early 90s. The unemploment rate has remained so low for the last decade that most unemployment theory has had to be rewritten. Worse yet, I hve to hear fro myou whiners when the economy really cycles down as it will inevatbly does. We live in blessed times at least economically. Give the credit to the people.
Walmart demanded barcodes from the manufacturers and now they are demanding rfid tags. Walmar now controls almost half the US retail sales. Can't really blame them. The ultimate in real-time inventory and the manhours saved will practically pay for the program. We'll all have to start wearing RFID blockers.
The correct question would be "name one european molopolist". There are tons. DeBeers is one obvious choice. Slavery and otherhuman rights also come into play. Some are protected. A few off the top of my head include Unisource and Atlas in the telecom industry. Also look at the aerospace industry.
I had a dream that I woke up surrounded by windows floating around before my eyes. I knew what I wanted was in one of the windows -answer just on the tip of my tongue. As each window passed by, confusing icons flashed symbols -almost helping me figure it out.
The provlem I've found is that corporations view IT departments much like they view building maintenance. Very few companies I've been involved with have true career paths for IT people.
I like selling wierd cheap wierd stuff

eBay Fraud Vigilantes

What is this vigilante stuff gets out of hand and peple start closing down auctions for stuff they don't like: religious articles, Nazi memoralbilia, etc?
Example:I was wandering around a local church yard sale and stumbled across a book filled with pictures of dead people. So I bought it and put it up on EBay.
I keep seeing people banty about the $200mil figure of sunk cost into the cancelled upgrade mission. What is the total cost of an upgrade mission? Lets assume $500 million. On top of that lets assume the cost of losing another space shuttle $1billion plus. Factor in the risk of losing another shuttle along with a requirement for servicing the manned ISS and getting the Hubble replacement project moving and you begin to start seeing things from the eyes of a NASA administrator.
Maybe the EU could chip in the money and resources instead of launching a redundant GPS system of satellites?
You are either fibbing about having kids or you havn't spent much time with them. Till they are teenagers they are little more than little robots parroting what they see around them.
Video Lan CLient (VLC) isa free multimedia tool that was statered a "project at the French Ecole Centrale Paris but is now a worldwide project". And there ate too many others to mention. Compition if rife in that particular market and MS seems to actually be at a disadvantage because they refure to distribute many audi oand visual codecs.
I'm starting to worry that the EU doesn't have enough Checks and Balances at the federal level. Sure MS may be considered anti-competitive in the area, but the EU seems only too willing to abuse regulation asa tool of striking back at outside competion. Or as U.S. Assistant Attorney General Charles James put it after the GE/Honeywell merger decision,
"We appear to have reached different results from similar assessments of competitive conditions in the affected markets," he said. "Clear and longstanding U.S. antitrust policy holds that the antitrust laws protect competition, not competitors. Today's EU decision reflects a significant point of divergence."
I sometimes wonder the reason I've been so lucky buying things online. I've gotten some pretty good deals from cheesy looking web storefronts. One thing to consider next time is to check out a store's ratings at http://www.resellerratings.com/
Getting real tired of reading this left-wing bullshit. Give one iota of proof please. THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS NOT THAT POWERFUL. In the end it won't be some freigner that brings this country down. It'll be dome dumbfuck like you thinking he knows better!

You gotta love the gold chick. The wire chick loks pretty bummed though.
I don't think the Supreme Court has ironed that right out yet.
Glad to see the money saved on highway construction went to good use.

Thanks, I was gonna mention that.

I'll still consider in Anti-American till they start coming down on European monopolists with as much fervor.
I do find it odd how hard they are coming down on Microsoft. Does anyone think they would do this to a French or German company? Doubt it.

The lovely thing about having a monopoly is that you can simply pass this on to the public. EU citizens should consider this a tax increase.
Sounds like capitalism to me.

Sure it wasn't one of Joe Haldeman's novels like "Forever Peace
"?

This sounds like an election year doggy treat. Pass it in the House and kill it in the Senate.

It has always seemed to me that in France the looters are winning. If you have ever read Atlas Shrugged by Any Rand you know what I am talking about.
