"private vehicle ownership will have to end one day?"
When they pry the keys out of my cold dead fingers. Dont tell me when i have to give up my 'private vehicle'. You may like mass transit but some us REFUSE to deal with it. i you want to ride the bus, go ahead but leave me out of it.
And you are somewhat incorrect about moving the pollution:
1 - central power stations are cleaner then all the cars it could replace. Are they 100% clean, no of course not. But they are cleaner. 2 - coal plants are really clean these days AND use domestic fuel 3 - nuclear is even cleaner, and is the future.
hardcore 'Pirates' will get around it large corporates dont care average home users will have to upgrade anyway and most of the pcs they buy will already have the microosft tax.
The only losers are small businesses caught in the middle. And these days they have more options open to them, and can 'just say no' if they want.
Not bombing 'sacred' buildings. thats playing nice
Not going all out and leveling the place in the beginning. thats playing nice.
To hell with being 'liberators' and the politically correct game, that only gets us in the mess we are in now.
We would never have won wwii with the pansy ass directive we have now. ( i am *not* saying the troops are pansy.. not at all, they just cant go out and do the rest of the job they were trained to do )
I disagree. Its time for wwiii to commence ( in some ways its already started ). Its time to purge the lesser peoples of the world again, and smack into obedience what is left.
No need to 'invade', just melt the country. It will deter others from making the same mistake.

Too much weight.
The are already at the edge of useablity, tack on a few more pounds and you either dont get off the ground at all, or reduce your 20 second flight even more.
Ok, assuming for just a moment that it is government backed ( which i honestly doubt ), wouldn't this be considered a declaration of war and a 'first strike' ?
And all we are going to do is sit on our hands and let them?
But some countries really dont care. If they strike first and kill the 'infidels' they are heros. Even if they all die.
Not saying NK is one of those countries, just commenting on your statement that they are useless.
Oh and you had to get in a bush bash didnt ya? that pretty much marginalizes anything you have to say. you really need to get over the fact you lost. It happens. Move on.
No, in this case your 'right to defend' only extends to more words.
if you take 'defensive action' due to another persons words, you have crossed the line and only show how much of a hypocrite you are. ( its ok if you say things about others, but they cant return the favor ) and perhaps you should be on the extermination list anyway.
Now, if i change my rhetoric to 'lets go out and sring up so and so tomrrow night' , then you can assume imminent harm and take *defensive* action.
'i hate you beacuse you are green, and im going to come kill you', is over the line. But i can shure as hell say "i hate you beacuse you are green and shouldnt be allowed to exist" on *any* public forum.
Public forums are just that, public. If they dont want public comments to be posted, then they arent public. If they are open to the public then they arent 'private' as you seem to believe they are.. Private boards do exist too. If you are so scared of what someone mght say to you, dont read a public board, or go out side.
Is just one step worse then trying to legislate morals.
Its my right to hate who ever i want, for any reason i want, AND to tell people about it. You dont like what i say? Then dont read/listen.. pretty simple. ( yes, i know , its all about state control of the population, but i dont have to agree with it )
The push is towards back to thin clients ( remember the 3270's ) due to vastly reduced support costs and more control/security. Sure we have tried this in the recent past and it failed miserably, but technology has again caught up to make it practical with todays users's needs.
And remember, eventually, what happens in the corporate world filters down to the home user.
Wont be running your apps online eh? I bet you already do to an extent.. webmail ? thats one example.
Is microsoft the answer? I hope not, but the concept is valid.
"The Darwine project intends to port and develop WINE as well as other supporting tools that will allow Darwin and Mac OS X users to run Windows Applications"
Does a user care it runs thru QEMU along the way ? ( aside from the speed issues of course ). They see 'windows' applications on their OSX desktop, using wine.

Perhaps this will be enough for 'joe consumer' to finally decide hes had enough of this garbage.
Got any details? Im curious if its like what we developed in school 20 years ago. It worked, just wasnt practical.
thats what happens when you are known for a 'product', your personal life becomes pretty much unimportant.

If you have a corporate MOLP agreement you have to upgrade within a set timeframe as your license to use what you have now goes away.
And if that means more servers ( for their licensing schemes ) or new hardware, well, it sux to be you.
So to answer the question, lots of people will in time.
At this point, does it really matter?

The mistake we made in iraq was playing 'nice'. If we went in to win as the only objective, it would have been a lot different.
You can take your bush bashing and go somewhere else. It makes you look petty and ignorant.

Im not shocked that Microsoft was behind it, im shocked they didnt even try to hide it.

Cool, perhaps there is a use for attornies afterall..
KKK?
Um, you forget there are others that are in the 'hate' game. Ever hear of the black panthers? They are no different, and guess waht, they are black.
Or are you a raicst yourself and only 'whitey' can spew out hate?
If you were trying to bother me, you didnt. I practice what i preach and really could care less what others say that i dont agree with.
But nice try, it might have worked on a hypocrite.
Did i say *threaten* others? No, i didnt.
'i hate you beacuse you are green, and im going to come kill you', is over the line. But i can shure as hell say "i hate you beacuse you are green and shouldnt be allowed to exist" on *any* public forum.

No, actually you cant. Currently the courts consider that outside 'protected' speech.
Is just one step worse then trying to legislate morals.

Thats good news for you, but i personally know a lot of organizations that are just drooling to do this stuff.
