No OS is 100% secure just as no program is 100% reliable. We have to remember that PEOPLE create these lines of code. Until we find an infallible programmer, we will have fallible code.
That is one of the top 5 funniest posts I've ever read. I think I sincerely injured myself from laughing so hard. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Although...."I'm not being sarcastic" does stink of sarcasm. Oh fuck it.
Canada should be annexed and proclaimed the 51st state. Then we can kick out all the Froggies and make it one big wildlife preserve with strip clubs right next to the lakes. Oh yeah, I almost forgot: Celine Dion is an ignorant, money grubbing, non-singing, cock smoking stick-bitch.
Most of the clubbers I've ever met are really just clingy, needy, dorky misfits who -- underneath all the wild exterior -- are simply looking for attention. This means that if these are the people whose insides are defining the music, we'll all be listening to an endless loop of Barney and Engelbert Humperdinck singing a Natalie Merchant arrangement of WASP's "I Wanna Be Somebody". Fucking christ, aren't there better projects to be working on than comfort music for horny, young, self-absorbed pacifier suckers?
quit being a puss. finish your degree and get a job, or don't finish your degree and get a job anyway. if you're not already independently wealthy, you'll have to do something to make money. if you use the money properly - make it work for you - you won't have to work for someone else your whole life.

Audrey had this functionality in the form of Channels. You pick your content, it downloads it several times a day (at times you choose) and it's available without browsing.
The main problem, as you and others point out, was the price point. 3Com made the age-old mistake of choosing a "single-source" strategy for hardware, and as we all know, if you use single-source, you take it >.
Some company is going to get the price down, get the "feature set" right, and hopefully not blow the marketing budget on some "celebrity" that most people give less than a damn about, and when this happens, even those posters who claim that these boxes are worthless will have one in the kitchen or the front hall. Unless, of course, they live in some crappy little apartment that is littered with Funyuns and empty Mountain Dew cans. It's ok, though, 'cause that's not the target market. Audrey was - and still is - a good idea whose time has not yet come, simple as that.

So, if I hook two monitors to my pc, do I need two licenses? Micro$oft just keeps on practicing Monopolist policies.
