What does that tell you about the Supreme Court and the justices? They're just as hardlined as any other asshole out there. They tend to sway towards their party's objectives; which is a bad thing either way....Republican OR Democrat.
I remember a quote from one of my professors years back when I was getting my engineering degree: "There comes a time in the life of EVERY project where you have to shoot the engineer and begin production". I always thought that was funny; but then again I'm an engineer.
Just a thought.....and who, exactly, provides jobs in this country? The lower 20% of the economic scale? Maybe if you're selling drugs, sure. The mid 60%? Right...the working people. The upper 20% are the ones forking out the cash to invest in business and capital to provide jobs (and not JUST in the IT industry). They take their tax incentives just like Joe Six-pack come April 15th. Example: Where I live they are building a HUGE industrial park with extremely attractive tax breaks for big business (and entrepreneurs if they can afford to invest) to bring jobs to the area. They SHOULD get a tax break to invest and give me a job. Jesus, I'm so sick of hearing that only the rich get a break when it comes to taxes. When YOU have $10 million dollars to invest and have the option of going to a state or county that will save you 10% in taxes, which one would you pick? 10% is 10% is 10%; whether you're Joe or GM. I don't have $10 million to invest or create employment so I'll just have to take the job...and I'd rather it be in my community rather than in Mexico.
I agree, but.rm formats are never REALLY compatible; even with themselves.....how many times have you been told that the current 'version' of RealPlayer (although what you have as.rm compatible and what you're trying to d/l isn't...and you're forced to upgrade) can't play becuse you need to go to their website? What a joke. I gave up on that a long time ago.
'half to'? Oh jeez....anyway, ALL information eventually moprphs it's way into another format...it just not may be in the format that you want or need within an hour. I can wait that long to not use Real.
'Real is the only place you gan get certain major sports and news content'. Hmmm, so how have I lived so far without them and STILL be up to date....must be other venues of information exchange; I guess.
When has Works ever done the opposite of what you expected it to do? I mean, it sucks and it's not the 'standard' but please....has it done the opposite?
if you think about it the same argument was levied when cassettes became mainstream. If a person tapes a movie from their TV set (which includes commercials and off-air time) wasn't that the same of music at the time, which also had both? Either way, in both mediums you had to wait for the content you wanted and even then it was what they WANTED to see/hear.
Yes, they do a lot. They basically provide a loan to an artist that they can never really, potentially pay back. Now THAT'S one helluva an interest scam. And I thought I was taking it in the shorts by my credit card company.
...and we do. Besides, either way, no one's holding a 'gun' to your head to do either. Required warning labels were placed on packs of cigarettes back in the 60's; which would not help you be informed if you started smoking prior to then....hell, the US military handed them out freely in C-rations prior to that. What the tobacco companies are getting sued for now is just the result of bad marketing decisions; not mis-informing the public.....and please don't use the 'They said it was safe and doesn't cause cancer' argument; the warnings were on the darn packages themselves. What doesn't cause cancer these days? In the economic world, the 'bad habit' taxes are exuberant to say the least. Where I live it's upwards of $5.00 (US) per pack and $40.00 for a bottle of Grand Marnier (I'm bringing alcohol in this for a reason). Because the government decides to 'punish' the drinkers and smokers of the country with high taxes on these items; especially 'addicts', aren't they over-taxing the public and singling out certain people? Wasn't there a little tea party in Boston Harbor to help prevent that practice? For just one week, I'd love to see all smokers and drinkers abstain from their gratifications. All of these bleeding hearts would soon start to heal a little when they actually realize that a lot of their little community functions and programs are funded by the people they detest the most. This isn't like the RIAA, exactly, these are daily taxes being levied on a growing minority and the less that people do these 'abhorrent' things the more they have to make up for it when people stop by over taxing. OK, fine, I'll stop. But don't you dare raise my property, sales, income or state taxes to level yet another increase against me because I do.
What if it was JT's penis? JJ's vagina? The two of them having sex in the middle of the field? All natural 'things' and 'acts'. The Super Bowl should just not come to these kinds of stupid antics; especially from overpaid, overrated and under talented hacks. Even more so if it were JT's wang; Jesus, I would have had to burn my eyes out.

Job growth comes from small business? Really?
So what's your point? The 'big boys' don't deserve a tax break?
And I didn't vote for Gore....So?

The problem is...you bought it three times....
Good for you...it's nice to see someone on Slashdot that doesn't mind being voluntarily spammed and upgraded to death. KUDO!

I take it you have something against Ashcroft.....good thing it's not Bush.
Can we all say PARANOID....on the other hand I have been cranked by the government. Oh, nevermind.

Oh my God.....no wonder they made the movie 'Hackers'. I wasn't sure of the definition until now....
Wasn't the BSOD just a crash?
Now wouldn't that be ironic....your number one competitor and arch rival actually paying for you to replace them! SWEET!
I know in comparison it's not much but every little bit hurts.
Or, how about using an out-of-state power company's resources to electrocute a convict in a state that still performs death sentences using the chair?

Well, at least it's most likely to be overturned. Most of their decisions usually are.

Yes I can....big oil successfully stopped r&d of a water powered car. It was ugly back then, but where would we be today if that technolgy flourished?
