IMO, the existance of banner ads is not something to be proud of...

"There are only two constants in the universe: time, and human stupidity. I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein
Some have said that all technology is merely an extension of a human ability -- guns are the technological extension of fists, for example.
Since stupidity is one of the primary characteristics of humanity... Well, you get the idea. That explains the existance of Windows, VB, and a whole lot of other things...
Often times, companies don't even pay rebates, because they go out of business so quickly. Then there isn't anything you can do about it. Even if you do get the rebate, you have to wait a minimum of 6-8 weeks for it, while they collect interest on your money.
IMO, rebates are a scam. They serve no real purpose whatsoever, except to occasionally rip people off. Instead of just paying $30 for Age of Empires 2, I have to wait and save up $50, and then wait 3 months for the $20 rebate, just so microsoft can make an extra $0.25 in interest, which doesn't even cover the postage.
No matter what Microsoft says, they can't possibly enforce the ban. People will use GPL software anyway, and Mictosoft won't be able to stop them. Even if they incorperate a function into the OS to detect GPL software, somebody will make a hack to get around it. The more microsoft tightens it's grip, the more market share will slip through it's fingers.
Microsoft's Tony Goodhew, project manager for Share Source CLI, said Microsoft is moving in the same direction as open source code advocates, but wishes to continue to protect its intellectual property from commercial exploitation by others.
It seems to me that Microsoft is the one doing all the "commercial exploitation" in the software industry. Talk about hypocrisy...
The existance of black holes can be proven several ways.
1.) When an object gravitationally bends or lenses light from another star, measurements of that can be used to determine the mass and density of the object. If it is much to heavy and compact to be a neutron star, it must be a black hole.
2.) When matter falls into an alleged black hole, it becomes brighter and brighter as it speeds up, but then becomes dimmer due to gravitational red shift, then disappears. There is no other explanation for this phenomenon than the existance of a black hole.

Realistically, campaign contributions are liittle different from bribes collected by late 19th century political machines.

I wholeheartedly support banning of ALL rebates.
those assholes at Netpliance got what they deserved. They should have to pay double!

Get an iMac. They are very quiet, because they don't have fans. iMacs use convective cooling.
Couldn't you always use actual C?
How else do you think NASA controls it's sattelites remotely?
What's the point of setting those standards if it's physically impossible for bits at that density to maintain cohesion?
What do they need a standard base for when none of the developers can even get to first base?

Who cares whether they killed the bugs?
The article is talking about nitric oxide, chemical formula NO. Nitrous oxide, AKA laughing gas, is N2O. It's a completely different chemical.
