In any case, "THESE" people as you refer to them are the real linux hackers, not corporate drones. I guess it's true not everyone will understand the one voice thing at the top
Canadian Law..not sure if this applies to the USA....
A written contract is just as legally binding as a verbal contract. One party sets out terms, the other party agrees (by clicking agree even) to those terms. That is a contract. Verbal contracts are just as legal. The problem is that with verbal, there is no proof. With no proof, how can a case hold up when taken to court? Imagine the smack down you'd get from Judge Judy.
in canada parents are not responsible for a contract regarding a non necessity (ie food, shelter, clothing).
If the kid makes a contract to obtain a necessity (purchases a pizza by delivery), parents are responsible.
If the kid agrees to anything regarding a non necessity (ie video game) parents are not responsible.
The idea being parents have to provide the life necessities, if they are not and the kid has to go out on his own, the parents aren't meeting obligations.

I spent the required time to guide him to the domain whois to show him this page isn't owned by Microsoft. He thought the quotes on the page are real....
1) Party enters in to agreement with MicroSloth 2) Party can not pay Microsloth what they agreed to and provides a note 3) Party proposes alternate options to original agreement and MicroSloth decides against the agreement because it is not financially appealing in the long run
Hrm...they made what seems like a smart business decision without breaking any law or taking advantage of any loophole.
Slashdot Mirror
.... for two reasons
1) They are making us fully aware of what is going on, there is no loss of privacy
2) They are not allowing communication and monitoring it. That would be an invasion of privacy.
I applaud the gov't for coming up with an alternate solution that doesn't infringe on peoples privacy.
How do you not Remember DooM 2?
It was in gameplay/graphics/sounds/everything the same as the original Doom, but they charged you for the 2 in the title!@
>>Does this mean that Duke Nukem Forever is

This wayback machine is invaluable!
I was able to travel back to the early days of internet pr0n (click here to launch sex.com from '96) and research ancient authentication methods including "Click here if you are over 18".
I guess ISPs themselves will go back to old fashioned memos....
Imagine what happens when admins are backing up/reading the days e-mail and read the subject "Fire Admins"
Ahhh... the IBM unified voice.

You could free up that multi-gig of space if we could find a way to uninstall MSN Messenger

Actually there are two models of IBM WorkPad C3:
8602-40U = Palm V
8602-50U = Palm Vx
and for the record, my workpad C505 (ibm branded palm m505) has been great with no issue.
This pisses me off cuz being a supervisor at work I hafta yell at people who use the term firware to customers, now they can tell me to stick it.

Since when does people who can't spell count as a design flaw?
Of Course They Can.....
Women of all ages fake it all the time.
Microsoft Wields Such Great Power And Puts Someone Out Of Business?
What type of business model relies entirely on one company?
Poor business model for them.
