Just because the OS is free, doesnt mean the vendors who create software should give their programs away. BRI think more of the point of linux is the stability and the ability to customize. You still have to buy software (the same as you do Office or Backup software now) but at least you dont get gouged 300 bucks for a version of XP Pro on the front end.... AND unlimited client connections!!:)
They put up nightly builds, and it seems to me that EVERYTHING runs right out of a folder, no need to install. Its skinnable like you need, starts faster than IE, and all you would need to do is setup a reg key to set phoenix as the default browser.:)
I just use my 17" Flat panel monitor that has TV tuner built in, and aux inputs (for the PS2) and PC inputs, and will do wonderful PiP so I can watch TV or monitor processes on the PC, while playing PS2 in a PiP window!:)
And I agree, my Logitech Z560's rock the house for tunes.
Now all I need is one of those 42" Plasma screens from Gateway to wall mount (for only $3000 bucks!!!) and I will be all set!!!:)
Maybe not EXPECTING, but hoping like hell that someupe in the supreme court would at least have some sense enough to recognize that the patent system is outdated, and the LAST thing it needs is for the terms to be extended!!!!!
Well, I was meta-moderating, but I just had to come and respond to this. This is the best non-pissed off non-child straight to the point post regarding Linux I have ever seen, and I agree 100% with every point you make.:)
Not realistic??? Cmon, is wearing a seatbelt not realistic?? Using a PC connected to the internet carries risks, nothing is going to change that. Now, the democratic way of thinking would be 'let the big company take the risks and secure my system regardless of what it costs me', but I personally would rather have the freedom of choice to protect myself how I wish too.
Why not just get and update antivirus? What MS is saying is they will protect your system against virus's (who knows, maybe they are hiring people to write the dang things in the first place to scare everyone) in exchange for complete control over your media and how you use the information on your PC.
No thanks, I will upgrade up to the last chip before DRM, and then keep what I got. I can just see all 28,000 MP3's on my system 'expiring' and getting locked out of them... *shudder*
Well, as long as it is economically sound to hire foreign workers than USA workers, it will continue to be like that. Think of the choice, pay 100 US employee's an average of, say, 25 - 30K / year plus heath benifits, workmans comp, etc., or pay a foreign worker less than minimum, no health benefits, and not have the US laws to contend with?
Well, its just a simple reference used for the sole purpose of illustrating a point. Everyone feels they dont need to take responsability for their actions, and that is patently rediculous.:P
And its McDonalds fault that she didnt know it was hot??? Its horrible, I agree, but can a bridge maker be sued because they dont put a sign saying "Dont jump off bridge, death may be the result"???
People are not always to blame for their own addictions
Oh no, every person should be held accountable for their actions. Its the people who believe that they are not to blame that place lawsuits like 'I spilled my coffee on my lap, it burns, I'm going to sue you!'
BAH!! Come on, buck up to mistakes and take it like a man.
Dont mod this post down, It wasnt me, it was temporary insanity, really!!

Someone have a bad experience with doctors??
The only reason they are overpaid is they make more than you do, and it pisses you off!!!
Shamans and healers used to have the highest regard in tribal and ancient cultures, I think its a sickness and an indicator of society today. We dont bother to get to know our doctors, we just rush in, expect instant healing, and want to be about our business again. Everyone is paranoid of getting close to anyone now, I would bet money that 1/2 the people dont even know their neighbors, let alone bother to get to know personally the person they expect to hold their life in their hands....
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha, you fucking retard. Do you understand a joke?? The part where I said seriously though... Everything has its problems, I was just offering my experiences. And my annual review was short, no complaints, and a bigger raise than usual. While you are delivering pizza's, think of me.
Seriously though, I have been running XP on all types of systems, pre-built and home built, both at a business and as a home / gamer PC, and XP is extremely stable. You just gotta give it love!
Very true, and thought provoking for me after reading your reply.:) I guess what my true feeling is that, regardless of if the baby is a life yet or not, it is 100% the mothers personal choice, and not anyone else's business (imho).
I am not saying he is a hypocrit, but I dont think he is in any position to have a problem with a womans choice in any way at all.
Why do you have a big ethical problem?
Most babies are aborted for a reason, and its none of anyone else's damn business if a woman decides to abort her baby. You are so quick to make that decision, do you want the mothers who cant afford their kids, or know they will be unable to raise them, to bring them to your door to pay for / love / raise them as your own??
I would say if you have this 'big ethical problem' about taking stem cells from an unborn baby, you just stay at home and quit thinking about it, because its happening whether you want it too or not.:P

Obviously an ID - Ten - T Error....

Oh god, They will want to get rid of Coldfusion and replace it with ASP, NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I think the primary purpose for this was to put cheap IDE drives on a fast SCSI bus, and not vice versa.
:(
I believe I have seen IDE 10K drives somewhere, but I dont remember where, and a google search didnt find any hits.
Exactly!!! :-)

I wonder how difficult it would be to program the signal repeaters to track the position of the moving repeaters around them... ?
