A DUI (if that is drink driving in the states) will loose you your licence for at least six months in the uk, and if you get caugth speedin twice in the first two years, you will almost definetly get put back to a provisional licence.(can't drive on your own)

i didnt say it couldnt' have i just said it didnt, any other OS *might* have, but non of them did, that is the diffrence, i'm not saying its a good thing either. but its the truth
beacause unfourtunetly most of us are to reasnable to slag of a company that has done so much to push development wheather the development is good or bad, if thier was no microsoft what would we have to bitch about. *grin*
fantastic as the BeOS is/was it did not do a lot for hardware developement for the x86 platform, BeOS might have unleashed the power of a quick x86 proceccor but AMD/Intel/Nvida/ATi etc. never developed thier products because they though they would sell thousands of CPUs or Graphics card to BeOS users.

Brave comments on slashdot, but your right, Apple have probebely done a better job at the interface, and i think their begging to win on technolgy now as well, but they only run on thir hardware. Without microsoft the hardware woudnt have advanced, like is has, no one else has had a system that provided a basis to push the x86 architecture like windows. >a Microsoft scared into respecting other's place in the industry.
that is possibley one of the most incitefull viewpoint on the microsft "situation" that i have ever heard
i can see the size of offices shrininking even more as they just paint the cubilcles with this paint and hook your net pc up to it, then take away your desk. well... could be the start of the paperless office, or not
cunning... i never thought they would be clever enought to fool me into thinking everything was ok, but actually sending you a real licence is pretty dam good, if it wasnt so low down and dirty i would be impressed!;)
this is why you need a wireless scanner, so you dont have to give your credit card details out to callers, give somone elses.
seriously though, i didnt think the bbc where actually in charge of issuing licences, i thought they just got the money...
er.. why would disabling the strips not mean the the details are sent over the arewaves (unless it is just the scanners that are handheld, i dont know i've never seen any) they would still have to type your card details into the machines, would they not?
the whole concept of having a card with a number on which you can tell people down the phone, send down the internet, give to people in shops/restauratns is very very insecure, I've ordered stuff on my mums card before, do they care that i'm not my mum, do they shit. If people have to resort to wireless scanners to get card numbers they are throwing way to much money at the exercies, you can get card details much esier from bins, old till rolls etc...
i have developed a foolproof method of fooling them though, dont have a credit card, ok so they wont actully give me one yet but hey...
i'm working on the principle that its not worth the effort to worry about it, i never intend to make enoght diffrence to cause anybody to care what i do, if i cant keep track of my online activites why would anybody else bother.
I just don't worry about it, thier is nothing on tv that makes me stay in, or drop what i'm doing to watch, I'm just not as dependant as i used to be.
Oh and save 25% in commericall times, i live in the uk and only have terrestrial TV, so we only have adds on 2 of the channels and they are only once every 15mins.
how am i meant to watch everything that tivo will record for me, i allready have to much that i want to watch with 4 channles, with hours of recordings backing up behind me it would be a night mare, i'll stick with my attitude of nothing on tv is worth prgramming my video for.
if a slide tackle dont hurt then you aint trying hard enough, its really hardcore when you try it on concrete (i have the scars) ((and yes I'm tacking the pills))

ever tried replcing the shell in widows, seen how stable it is? ie *is* part of windows cos anyother shell is really not worth bothering with.
they got a few of the old lpd out now though dont they, so it will come, maybe not in 6 months though.
i can see the size of offices shrininking even more as they just paint the cubilcles with this paint and hook your net pc up to it, then take away your desk. well... could be the start of the paperless office, or not

i'm sorry i'm a lazy dsylexic and my spelling on slashdot dosent really bother me, as long as you get the rought idea it is fine.
er hi how are you?
I just don't worry about it, thier is nothing on tv that makes me stay in, or drop what i'm doing to watch, I'm just not as dependant as i used to be. Oh and save 25% in commericall times, i live in the uk and only have terrestrial TV, so we only have adds on 2 of the channels and they are only once every 15mins.
you can get pal version, and they do come with listings guides, in the UK. (see my previsous post for link)
er... what about this must be pal cos the uk is PAL.
how am i meant to watch everything that tivo will record for me, i allready have to much that i want to watch with 4 channles, with hours of recordings backing up behind me it would be a night mare, i'll stick with my attitude of nothing on tv is worth prgramming my video for.
even if it is just to go down the pub...
