Yeah, Ben & Jerry's never used business practices like Microsoft did. They're hippies, and beyond reproach because they give money to the whales.
Let me tell you a story about Ben & Jerry's and their supercool business. A few years back, a local girl was doing well in her ice cream parlor business. Her product was popular, and regularly consumed by the populace. She thought it would be a good idea if she put the icy concoction in the stores for people to buy.
Bad move. With blinding speed Ben & Jerry's let the local grocery stores know that there was no room for multiple brands of premium ice cream on the shelf. Either Amy's ice cream went, or Ben & Jerry's, an established brand, would pull all their products from store shelves. The gambit worked, and in less than a week Amy's Ice Cream was no longer availible for purchase.
No, *you* are swiping the chess pieces off the board, by saying that "English profs are more educated, and therefore their opinions on what a good book is are golden and beyond reproach".
Your comment is the equivalent of the old, white country judge telling the young rock-n-roller he should really stop listening to that loud music, and get a job with his father down at the grain elevator.
Who am I to criticize an English professor? It's the old, "if I don't know you, you by definition are a nobody" argument. English professors in particular seem to use that one a lot to shoot down arguments, and I find it detestable. Yeah, sure...the fact that I don't write makes me unable to comment on what kind of book I like. I must be mistaken, because I don't agree with what English professors say! Please, please save my misguided soul and direct me to the nearest dreary novel.
Look, have you taken any university-level courses on race relations? If you haven't, stay the hell out of the conversation. It makes zero difference if it's true or not. If it defames people of color in any way, it's racist, end of story.
My little brother won a Tri-Super jackpot at a greyhound racing track a few years back. He hit three dogs in order (trifecta box) in the first race, and having won that he could then try to guess the first four dogs, in order, in the next race. Needless to say, he hit all four in order, otherwise I wouldn't be telling the story. He won $360,000. Half was split with an off-track bettor who picked the same dogs. Out of the remaining $180,000, $135,000 was left after taxes. Alas, my little brother was 16 at the time, and thus ineligible to bet - the money legally went to my mom's evil lawyer husband. My little brother got a brand-new Chevy Malibu LS (sport version), and little else. The husband spent it all on deer hunting trips, Reno gambling loss trips, and Jack Daniel's Tennesee Whiskey. Oh, and he beat the living shit out of our mom, too.
A few years later, the Malibu had been wrecked, my mom discovered him cheating on her and divorced him (he could beat her as well as me and she wouldn't leave him, but cheat on her and he's divorced, go figure), and all the money was gone.
Yeah, but "professional" poker players are dweebs and geeks on a scale to make Everquest players look like well-adjusted humans. At least they talk to one another and have fun, instead of a few words before eating a greasy comp "meal" at Binion's snack bar before heading to the tables for an 8-hour shift cooperating with their cronies to throw jackpots.
Yaknow, it's really racist of you to mention that dig about the Pacific Rim demanding gambling. Go to western Arkansas, there you'll see weak-ass idiots who love to gamble. Asians are noble.
I can't help but ask...how many Real Engineers have you actually been in contact with in your entire life? The market for this laptop is out there, have no worries. Your parochial, limited view of the world prevents you from seeing this.
Fuck character development. I prefer a good story any day of the week. The only dweebs who consider character development paramount to the success of a book are the morons who spent too much time listening to the lies of professors back in college.
My, my...what a static, limited world you live in. If you can't imagine thousands of engineers lining up to submit purchase orders for this new laptop...heck, why don't we just replace all the servers in the world with Dell 1U units running XP? Heck, it works, doesn't it?
An anti-Catholic poster, who's also pro-wiccan and pro-Buddhist. Let me guess, you wear Birkenstocks and spend a lot of time down at Starbuck's, right?
Ha, ha, ha...there is no such thing as an ex-Catholic. Even if you took the ex- to mean excommunicated, even it doesn't end your relationship with the Church. Excommunication is merely meant to make you see the error of your ways, it doesn't expel you from the Church. Being Catholic is like being in the Yakuza...once you get tattoed you're in for life, even if you later denounce it.
There already is a seperate Anime channel. You just probably can't get it in your area of the world. It's pretty much a carbon copy of Cartoon Network before Southpark came on. They created a channel to have an way to make a few bucks by just airing out all these old episodes that have been around forever. It's cool seeing G-force where the kid doesn't stutter, but come on...Transformers and other 70s/80s drek? Bah.
You realize that recording telephone calls without the other party's consent is wiretapping? If you don't have the other party's consent, there must be an audible beep every 15 seconds in the conversation.
That's okay, though...you probably made up the whole conversation.
Opera doesn't "really" fake the user-agent. When you tell Opera to identify itself as IE 5.0, you get this:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98) Opera 6.05 [en]
The Opera string is still there. So, for the website designer who only writes for a single browser, simply scanning the user-agent for "Opera" will keep out non-approved browsers. A full header rewriting proxy, such as Proximtron, is needed in this case.
hasn't worked, try putting the subject of your post in the Subject: line, and the body of your idea in the message body.
Sorry, just a crazy idea. Feel free to refute me in replies. Please put the refutation in the message body, as I have a difficult time following a post from Subject to Body with no intermediary.
So, they did reverse DNS on IPs downloading songs, and determined those reverse DNS equaled corporate namespace. This is simply the corporate strategy of "going after the easy ones first". Much like H***er went after the easily-sold-out Czechoslovakia and Poland first; to gain cheap, easy victories for his troops, so goeth the record companies after the easily-thwarted corps.
All this will accomplish is even more restricted access from work for the poor souls destined to work for big corps. The actual pirates who take advantage of the Big Bandwidth availible "from work" will simply shift to a different medium to accomplish their crimes.

Austin Chronicle, maybe. Why don't you just call Amy and check it out?

God-damn independent people...doing whatever they want to with their own property. This must be stopped!

You used to escape with the Amulet, in older versions. Frankly, I find that cooler than giving it to your dumb deity.
Too bad there's not enough interest in ADOM to justify a public tournament.

See? There we go. Dogma from professors. "This is the one and only way to write, ignore the man behind the curtain".
Drexel rules! I hope to work for a Drexel MBA at some point in my career.

Assignment: put yourself in a situation in which you have to deal with the Teamsters. I bet you hate it.
P.S. DJB's dns implementation does indeed defy internet standards. DJB himself said it.
