Honeywell is known for this type of practice. I remember the last sales rep that came to our office. His statement was along the lines of 'you should just buy from us because we own all the IP. Even if you buy from a distributor or competitor you are still buying from us.'

The teacher should be fired. The kids should have been reading their own books instead of having the book read aloud to them. How can everyone else be so far off topic?
I am not the average user. I am a technical user that is intelligent and values privacy. Please make me a google that gives relevant technical results for my queries instead of the hodge-podge that the average illiterate user can understand and click-through. xxx-answer or some similar should never be a result.
The results from the 25$ incentive will most likely be skewed in an unfavourable direction when compared to the search results I am looking for - due to the demographic (which I foresee) partaking in this research experiment. Please reconsider.

Agreed, had a look the article and it failed to provide any of the following supportive arguments and evidence:
1) Pictures taken with Kodak cameras cannot be shared. - I know this is not a fact. I get pictures all the time from my parents that use Kodak and their crapware EasyShare software. 2) Really I have more, but point 1 discredits the entire article.
You fool, you bought into the fear-mongering and propaganda. Sure tar sands produces some CO2, some will even have you believe that its 3 times for than current conventional refineries. This is nothing compared to the current exponential increase in CO2 emissions from countries like China and India.
Meanwhile those countries that don't give a shit about Kyoto can go on stealing all the industry and manufacturing. Pollution rates in the first world will inevitably decline as the unemployment rates increase. I don't know about you, but I want a job so that I can afford a future.
Cheers.
This is an example of novelty vs practicality. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should, good ideas don't always lead to good results, etc. The poor saps who pay have to at least justify their original expense..
I would actually prefer that telecom companies focused on delivering phones that work and that last. I want phones that ring and give me the opportunity to answer. I want phones that don't break in my pocket. I want display surfaces that can be cleaned easily and with simple water. etc. etc. etc.
No its obviously the iPod-Vista owner's fault [/sarcasm]. They brought it on themselves assuming that:
1) Microsoft writes flawless software. Never have to worry about exploits - ever.
2) Microsoft wants to support competitor's hardware. Zune is not MSiPod!
3) Vista wont try to enforce DRM (which is the whole reason they developed Vista anyway.) Vista degrades media playback by destroying playback hardware - the ULTIMATE DRM
4) Vista is an upgrade. duh..
I could point form a few more reasons, but I don't see how anyone could make the intelligent decision to upgrade to Vista. A clean install of Vista uses 544meg ram without any applications running - completely ridiculous IMHO.
I was discussing this with a friend and we found it kind of odd that he would remove the 40 gig drive from the 'server' designated desktop. Wouldn't it have been ideal (and easier) for him to use the default installation of windows on that drive and then raid his two serial drives and the promise controller? Then all the file server functionality is limited to the serial drives which are OS free - allowing the OS to act more independently and removing a possible failure condition.
It seems to me that this file server is nothing more than a couple of network drives with a low level raid anyhow. I guess this guy really wanted a 40 gig drive for another project. What is a 40 gig drive worth now, 20 bux?
Auto-magically? And here I was looking for a fortified "barrier" spell to cast. Thank god I don't have to pretend to read and speak Latin, waive a pen in the air, and draw pentagrams on my boxes. Phew.. Dodged some bullets. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
I feel the strong need to point out that the article doesn't say that this woman's arrest was related to a bomb plot. Maybe read the article again. The last paragraph is added (most likely by an editor) to put her arrest in perspective to other goings-on in britain's anti-terrorist initiative.
This goes to show how the press can intice reaction by including somewhat irrelevant information in an aritcle. Its causing miss-interpretations.

Completely and utterly disagree. Your large finger post was obviously written on a keyboard. The iPhone keyboard is a freaking nightmare.
No full keyboard? No purchase.
And your comment which claims a lack of insight is modded as insightful. How is that for irony?

Except it is true and the drivel you posted shows that you don't understand the difference between a fanboy and an upset customer.
