Actually according to his FAQ page it isn't a cult, but interesting that you have to tell people you aren't up front.
9. Myth: Community members all think alike.
Fact: Because communities are by definition organized around a common vision or purpose, their members tend to hold a lot of values and beliefs in common--many more than shared among a typical group of neighbors. Still, disagreements are a common occurrence in most communities, just as in the wider society. The object of community is not so much to eliminate conflict as to learn to work with it constructively.
10. Myth: Most communities are "cults."
Fact: Many sociologists and psychologists know that the popular image of "cults" and "mind control" is distorted. Both the American Psychological Association and the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion have done research that refutes the idea that religious or other groups are systematically brainwashing their members or interfering with their ability to think critically.
>> LAST ROUTER IN THE CHAIN WAS THE COMPUTER >> THAT ACCTUALLY ACCESSED IT!
What I vaguely remember from law class was that a person can be found guilty if they started the chain of events that lead to the ultimate result.
Of course this only goes back so far as I guess if I commited the crime my dad/mom ultimately started the chain of events which included my birth... or is it my grandparents?
Such a huge update would mean the end of anything less then WinXP in the Windows world, you aren't likely to see many companies completely upgrade every machine in an organization to WinXP until there is a business need, other then just being ready.
I work at a large software company that has had a rebate since a major product launch in Feb, it isn't as if you can just send out a bunch of cheques. There are many steps involved in fulfilling a rebate so that it isn't abused by customers or by employees and each rebate needs to be processed by the folks with cheque writing authority.
Anyone here who works for a large corporation can relate in that not everything goes as smoothly on the inside as the outside.

I've signed up for the Phillips ones in the past, there are 4 pages of questions that I'm sure is worth more then it's weight in gold to them. Imagine get 100000 people to sign up for a free iPod clone and each fill out a 4 page marketing survey?
I'm not saying I didn't fill it out, but giving away 100 pre-release products compared to the value of the information obtained in those quizes? My first thought after completing it way, why didn't they just call this a random draw for people who want to fill out a 4 page survey.
Depends on the situation, sometimes if you kick the right person in the toes someone else will notice. I think this is an odd question because this will always depend on the situation.
You can't lose publicity, it's getting people talking about a company that they may normally not talk about and brings attention. Getting such exposure in the press and user communities is priceless.

Well God created Eve and the apples, so really it is his fault.
So what if there is no God? Who do we blame? Personally I say we blame Canada. (yes i'm in canuck land)

Attention Class, For Todays Field Trip we will be visiting CompUSA and seeing who can steal the most software.
I can't find it on Kazaa, does anyone have a bittorret where I can download Sars?

* Captain Janeway, I strongly suggest we insert the Nanovirus in the cubes central plexus.
I think it's more like
MS: We own you
GPL: Word man, have a spliff and relax
MAC? Ahh, that reminds me I forgot to include MAC in my previous comment.
not to tell AOL? Lets just not mention anything to them, and suddently we have two seperate networks...
The old network only consisting of AOlers.
The new network consisting of everyone else.
If this isn't acceptable, could we try just not telling Microsoft?
According to this article it's panties with a blue and pink design.

wtf is wrong with playing tuxracer?
>>Perhaps if more ISPs took action, we might see
>>the backbone providers doing so as well?"
Not likely since backbone providers bill the ISP based on the amount of traffic, traffic = $$$ as far as the backbone provider is concerned.
>>The days of cramming bulky 2.5" disks into mp3

Ugh... the 3.5" disks I've been trying to cram could explain why I keep going through so many MP3 players.

Which is really easy to do when the system won't boot which is why you're working on the computer anyway?
and Offline NT Password & Reg Editor to reset those pesky Windows NT/2K/XP admin passwords.
Please note this may be a waste of space as I'd imagine most Wintel machines have the admin passwords taped under the keyboard.
