I don't see a lot of people screaming his praises, even among his own party. No, not my party, his party. I'm hardly a supporter. I just believe in honestly, and the constant bashing of Bush regardless of whether he is involved in a given problem or not is tiresome.
Didn't you know that Bush is the cause of all things bad, even when he's not? The sad thing is it takes away and shred of credibility that his detractors have.
Eh, semantics. It's not producing any emissions so it's environmentally friendly from day one in my opinion. Anyways, we're just quibbling over split hairs here:)
Apologists for Firefox don't help make it better. They rushed this realease out to try and steal back some media thunder from the recent IE 7 release. Firefox is great, but there are some important issues including the ones you list a 'not true' that need to be addressed ASAP. They should have been addressed before it was even released.
Because he didn't really try very hard? Schumer is great at standing in front of the cameras and doing some Bush bashing, I wonder why he's NEVER mentioned this to the press?
Write about it, don't make a tool to DO it. Call your own Congresscritters. Call the media. Especially the latter would bite on it given the season we're in. There are LOTS of ways to make something like this known without doing something stupid like this guy did.
Agreed, but I don't think he thought through to the possible conclusions. I don't think it even occurred to him that he'd be arrested or his home searched. It was just bad planning.
Those tools you cite have legitimate uses. There was only one use for the tool he created; to forge boarding passes. Apples and oranges. I don't think he should be prosecuted, but I think he was stupid to publish it.
No, he was grandstanding. There are PLENTY of people in the media who would have taken this story, right around election time especially, wihtout actually making a page that facilitates the action. He didn't have to go to the lengths he did. Was it malicious? I don't think so. Should he be punished? Again I don't think so, though legally he could be. It was, however, not a very smart move unless he was willing to do time in order to bring this to light.
There are SO many ways he could have gone about raising public awareness without the boneheaded move of making himself vulnerable to prosecution. Not too bright.
No, I just think that when people get all outraged about it then it's just served their purpose. They WANT to get attention and to outrage people. Think of it as trolling writ large.
Agreed. Stories like this just give undeserved publicity to the idiots who hold racist views. If people would just ignore them they'd have far less impact and exposure.
They are still robbing graves though. Ok, document it, that's great and it's important to understand our history. Taking things out of someone's grave to display them somewhere else is robbery though, no matter how you slice it.
You are missing the point entirely. When 99.9% of the existing content is designed with a smaller colorspace in mind, being *able* to display more colors won't make anything look better. We'd need new content to do that.
Especially when most 'poor' in the US still seem to be able to afford TV's, cars, and DVD players. Over 70% of them have some sort of air conditioning unit too. Oh they are the highest percentage of smokers too, they seem to be able to afford tobacco as well.
Poor is a relative term. The poor in the US are richer than the middle class of some nations.
First, the legal fees are pretty much a drop in the bucket for IBM. Second, and IANAL, they might be able to go after former SCO officers if there is evidence of illegality, but not individual private investors.

No, it starts producing power immediately. What you meant is it doesn't show any ROI for 2 years. Big difference.

Except it's not actually a right under the Constitution. It's a de facto power and it's debateable as to whether it has any Consitutional merit.

Try over $2000 per year extra in the pocket of your average middle class family of four. Nice try though.
Hardly, since it's free.
I know, I know. IHBT, IHL.
The thinking is that there probably *were* aquifers. Whether or not there still are is the current question du jour.
There is a story about the possible causes of martian channels over at Space.Com that speaks to this.

I for one welcome our new undead overlords?

"The developing company, Arasor International, is said to be listing on the Australian stock exchange shortly."
I'll believe that it's the 'death of plasma' when I see it, not when the company touting the technology is just trying to pump up their pending IPO.

You are assuming a sane individual in charge of such nukes. Kim Jung Il is anything but.
Intel 'must' do whatever it thinks is best for it's business and shareholders, not what some pissante developers demand it to do.
