...please note I can not ship to the following countries due to their import laws that ban non DRM PCs: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
I do talk to people. I talk to friends, family, customers, coworkers, etc. At best I get a passing interest. The best I usually get is a passive responce that the gubment knows best and won't let the corps really screw us over that bad.
Sorry for taking so long but my connection was down for a while.
Since I see people asking for "proof" I shall provide my references. Unfortunatly I only have one source at the moment. It is a college text book on sociology.
Sociology In Our Times, Third Edition by Diana Kendall. copyright 2001, Thomson Learnimg, Inc.
On page 206, topic "Labeling Theory":
"In a classic study, the sociologist William Chambliss documented how the labeling process works in some high schools when he studied two groups of adolescent boys: the 'Saints' and the 'Roughnecks.' Members of bothgroups were constantly involved in acts of truancy, dtrinking, wild parties, petty theft, and vandalism. Although the Saints committed more offences than the Roughnecks, the Roughnecks were the ones who where labeled as 'troublemakers' and arrested by law enforcement officials. By contrast, the Saints were described as being the 'most likely to succeed,' and none of the Saints was ever arrested. According to Chambliss (1973), the Roughnecks were more likely to be labeled as deviants because they came from lower-income families, did poorly in school, and were generally viewed negatively whereas the Saints came from 'good families,' did well in school, and were generally viewed positively by others. Although both groups engaged in similar behavior, only the Roughnecks were stigmatized by the deviant label.
Another study of juvenile offenders also found that those from lower income families were more likely to be arrested and indicted than were middle-class juveniles who participated in the same kinds of activity."
In addition on pages 217 and 218, the text does more to link in the fact that, the wealthier the person, the more likely they will get away with what would normally be considered a crime or have it "handled" by some other means.
But then again, there is a mountain of information arguing the other way around, too.
Leftist, huh? Well, lets look at our poly wanna dollar polititions on _both_ sides of the aisle. I don't have a link to the stats handy at the moment, but last I checked, not many where hurting for money. Oh, but it's legal for them to take bri...err...donations.
Just because I point out something you find unpleasent does not make me a troll.
One where they are not just consumers and pirates and are not obliged to to spend every waking minute sucking up marketing and shelling over greenbacks. A vision where some shade of freedom, human rights, and free speech still exists. . . . one where pissing off a corporation is not necessarily illegal. . . . one where the world is included and the universe does not revolve around the corporations and government that make up the US powerhouse....and of course, lots of pr0n.;p
Its too bad this worldwide forum is quickly just becoming just another mechanism for controlling the masses.
Actually statistics show that there is actually a higher ratio of what would be crime in the high income bracket, it is just ignored. Think about the recent corporate scandels.
OSX works without having to know to hack configs and source, but if you want to, the ability to drop into its unix core is still there. It is both easy to use and powerful at the same time.
...I'd hate to see a US governmental agency responcible for policy making not backing (and being backed by I bet) big business. How much you wanna bet some "contributions" are involved. Especially so since they kicked out just about everyone that isn't a poly wanna dollar politition or a corporate suit.
"What we need to do is round up all this bitch girls (cheerleaders) and all these asshole guys (jocks) and just stick them in some sort of mega-death-camp thingy... lol"
I run across these on IRC some, although not nearly as intelligent. They privmsg the peons and try to act like a young woman trying to start a conversation. At about the sixth line it gets around to something like "check out this URL" or "If you want to see my pics, go to this website."
...The site usually contains about 3-infinity popups and/or a backdoor trojan installer. (I like to make sure it really is spam before shitlisting.)
Having experienced an American university, I can say, like many things these days, academic integrity goes about as far as a $. Then the $ wins. Some of the worst classes are those run by a professor that is just there for corporate funded research and has a single token class to teach.
Anyone worried about computer virus being written for and transfered directly to the human brain? Especially so if a certain gargantuan computer software company, with its tentacles in everything and its views on security, wrests the software side of the interface away from the rest of the market.
Tin foil hat time: Will they come with mandatory GPS transmitters like cell phones, too? (Got to make sure they aren't bein used for terrorism, now...)
...and is the value in order from greatest to least for the expensive faceted stones in the 4 C system. As for your GF, I have been told by several women that they will drop clues as to which specific ring to buy by pointing it out and expecting you to remember.
Now, the obvious question when dealing with a corp and linux hardware support. Will they put an effort into coding it (the compiler in this case), or will they wait for the lusers to finish coding it and then take the credit?
Seriously, is Redhat good about this? I know some hardware manufacturers are like this about "thier" drivers.
*sniff* *sniff* *sniff* somethings burning. Oh, its just my karma...
"The RIAA are quickly making their way to the top of the hate list for any free thinking individual."
Well, I guess its a good thing for them there aren't too many of those left. Seriously, ask any ordinary Joe what he thinks about it. You'll be lucky if they have even half a clue.
Not a troll. Not a flaimbait. Just an observation on the sad state of affairs.
" Jon Johansen: They are both a lot older than me, and they are employed. So I guess they just didn't want the publicity, and they were perhaps afraid of getting fired."
...or perhaps being curb stomped by frothing-the-mouth money hungry corporations? Maybe they have a disability to where they have trouble holding on to a bar of soap?
Hell, I'd want to be anonymous too if I was doing something that would get a worldwide corporate powerhouse brought down on my poor ass, even if I was not doing anything wrong.

Any idea where and when the sale will be held. I wouldn't mind picking up some networking equipment and computers at 1/10th there value.

In reality, no matter what the label, they are still Poly want a dollar polititions that are crapping on John Q. Public.
But thats a waste of perfectly good Spam. Make them eat the equivalent in plain old potted meat instead!
Report them as crank phone calls to the police.

I bet its just a front for a corporate trust.

Actually, recalling from my college "Love and Marrage" class, the women there basically told us men they considered flowers an "I fucked up" gift.

Escape to where? Antarctica? Mars? Seriously, where can we go? Is Sealand selling 1mm^2 plots?
Et = and
;P
tu = you
On a side note: Etc means Et Cetera (or however its spelled) means "and others."
The Cetera in FF7 where the "others"
