shh, this planet here is one of the most habitable in the universe, but also one of the most dangerous, with sharp venomous teeth. now we're just going to sneak up on it.... oh no, it's got life forms! crikey!
suck on it creationists! i honestly don't remember how that relates, but i remember mr snoozy, my creationist biology teacher(!) got into this big thing about how we haven't actually made amino acids and we don't know how they got there creation god etc
Is Mundie doing empty posturing? yes. Will this stop people from listening to it? no The OS movement needs to rebuff any and all attacks that people will listen to, and a Microsoft employee speaking with an article on CNet is something that people will listen to. Spread truth where there is FUD.
possibly OT, but Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut is an excellent book dealing with this; a rich, unbalanced used car dealer reads one of the infamous Kilgore Trout's books, where he learns that he is the only real human, everyone else is a robot, and he proceeds to bash up as many "robots" as he can. this just shows how those bloody books pollute our minds and cause violence. prepare the bonfires!
no advertising ever works that directly. i don't think i've ever looked at a billboard and just said "damn, i gotta get me some of that," but whatever's being advertised still makes its way into my head, and this works the same way.
fro what it's worth, and perhaps it's simply due to some bad settings, but when I used Nero a bunch of cd players and cd-rom drives wouldn't read the discs I made, whereas using ecdc every disc worked just fine
From what I know of distros I'm going to guess that this is aimed at the corporate market, where this would be a cheap way to avoid insane windows licensing costs and makes the transition much easier because everyone can still run their office and outlook, without any retraining or anything
i can just see it now, D.A.R.E 2, downloading abuse resistance education.
you may laugh now, just wait until your kid comes home with a handbook featuring Fido the IP Protection Dog, who keeps little cindy and joe away from all the scary bad men that tell them that "it's fun, all the cool kids are doing it." but thanks to fido and all their D.A.R.E. 2 education, they can just say no.
Not quite, this thing was started september 5th, when only a handful of survivalist nuts were too terribly concerned about an impending cataclysm. I guess he just happened to be selling at the right time.

My family in The Sims could so use that. a free cookie to the first person to make that an item :)

Somehow, that does not reassure me. At all.
