How would in-house software be classified? Would this apply to only software made for public sale?
The city's business and occupation tax is 0.215 percent of gross receipts, minus credit for money spent on research and development, he said
This seems contradictory doesn't it? I mean I would consider software development R&D too... I don't really think that is going to be effective at all. But governments have a wierd way of making the most hair-brained schemes appear to work.
So, if all your software development costs are actually R&D, this is worthless... they'd have to tax something else, like publishing software. But that can all be done out of state.

But take a look at the dimensions on those phones? Do they really need to get any smaller? Besides, battery size and the size of the human finger will keep phones around the same size they are now, because if they actually get any smaller, they will be harder to use.
With antenna-less phones, like the Nokia 8260 and the Nokia 3360, I don't worry about antennas anyway, and these phones are here now, and work with my wireless company!

Only two protected CDs appear to have been distributed so far in the United States: Charley Pride -- A Tribute to Jim Reeves
No wonder I haven't run into copy protected CDs... this is a pretty slick way of doing things... introduce the copy protection on CDs that tend to sell towards non-geek crowds... then get it firmly entrenched... and with the coming SSSCA, the man will come and take all your non compliant hardware away!
How does this compare to the Motorola V101? Has anyone used this phone yet? Supposedly a GSM phone, can do email, sms and all that... and it's only $99.00 CDN with subscription
As an aside, it's funny how a replacement battery is 99 bucks too, in light of the battery discusion posted earlier.
I'm sure if we could work towards distributing food more evenly, we wouldn't need to have to worry about increasing crop yields and stuff... surely we produce enough food to feed the world? Perhaps this goal is more admirable than trying to find a technological solution to every problem.
The other way around...

In South Carolina, one of the states originally participating in the antitrust suit, Microsoft contributed $25,000 to attorney general Charles Condon shortly before his re-election in 1998. According to the chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party this was the largest unsolicited donation ever received. Three weeks after Condon won the election, South Carolina withdrew from the antitrust case.
Hopefully this will get picked up by the AP or something. I mean this alone in most people should arouse serious feelings of mistrust for any company. Microsoft makes software. It shouldn't even be making *any* sorts of political contributions or anything. I seriously doubt that within three weeks the attorney general had suddenly decided MS wasn't violating any laws without persuasion
If, at the very least, this and the enron scandal should be a wake up call for americans to consider political party financial reform.

The dept. doesn't neccessarily have to have the same bloody acronyms in it.
I imagine it's a reference to the fact that routers and boxen using the SNMP could lead to passwords being stolen from emails or something... I don't know... but I doubt it's a case of mistake network protocols... sheesh...

Naw, I think I'll stick to phone. Wearing a headset all the time is a pain. The phone is easier to hand off to someone else too.
Of course, switch to whatever you want. I mean there are a few alternatives out there... Mozilla, Galleon, Konqueror, and ya, Opera too.
I mean how many people actually use NS6?

This is typical:
Ooo... DRM is bad! Die DRM
Hey! I can use windows media under linux now. yay!
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Only in america!
What are they going to do with all the old computers that don't have DRM? How are they going to force the massive computer companies to comply?
And what kind of technology would they use? What about the legally traded mp3's and movies?
Oh ya, only coporate interests matter these days... pity.
