I have found that the most reliable way of stopping is running into other people walking back up the hill. Small children probably won't stop you, but they usually walk back up in groups of 2 or 3, which is usually sufficient.
". ..except that Microsoft may restrict an OEM from displaying icons, shortcuts, and menu entries for any product in any list of such icons, shortcuts, or menu entries specified in the Windows documtation as being limited to products that provide particular types of functionality, provided that the restrictions are non-discriminatory with respect to non-Microsoft and Microsoft products."
Does this mean that if Microsoft puts a list of programs in its documentation, that OEMs may not install them?
In discussing OEM's ability to add to and alter the desktop and start menu:
"Microsoft shall not restrict by agreement any OEM licensee from exercising any of the following. ..except that Microsoft may restrict an OEM from displaying icons, . .."
I doesn't matter what Microsoft may restrict. They should not be able to restrict anything that does not violate any law. This is a big win for Microsoft.
I don't think NASCAR fans are really RedHat's target audience. Formula 1 or CART would probably be a better bet.

Noone would want my car. ('89 Dodge Colt with 218,000 miles.) If this car gets me through 2 more years of college and these guys are still around, I think it would be a great way to pay my last respects to my baby.
Could it be that maybe this man just wants a change of pace? Maybe he wants to move geographically? Maybe he wants more freedom to spend time with people important to him? Maybe he just decided to do it on a whim? Can we consider that maybe, just maybe, this has nothing to do with Evil Empire Microsoft (TM), politics, Open Source, or geekiness?
Gaim uses GTK. Get a GTK skin. Individual application skins make everything look different. Applications should use toolkits (QT, GTK) and then users can skin those.
I use trillian when I'm at my parents house. Its a current version. I use gaim when I'm a home. I far prefer gaim. Why? Because trillian's interface is ugly, cluttered, and non-standard. (There is no 'intuitive' interface, just standard.) Gaim is pure, simple, and easy.
We use AIM at the company I work for. We staff computer labs at a college, so the labbies can communicate with each other, with the techs, and with the operations office without disrupting the people working in the labs with noise. The only problem is that when AIM goes down, we're in the dark. (I've tried to get them to run their own IRC or jabber server, but to no avail.)

The Libertarianism idea would work fine. ..if people were smart consumers about what they bought. If people researched companies and boycotted companies with bad practices. If people looked for the best product and didn't just buy what they saw on TV last. It won't happen. "Wait!" you say, "I don't buy from Microsoft. I boycott the RIAA. I won't buy Fords/Firestones (depending on whose side you're on)." But how many of you are wearing child-labor t-shirts? Sneakers made in 3rd world countries? Do you check for the dolphin safe label on your tuna? Do you research the competitive practices of the oil companies, or just buy the cheapest gas you see? Would you pay higher prices for eggs from free range chickens? Do you shop at Walmart? Was your power provider a client of Enron? (You don't know? Didn't think so.) We need some regulation on companies. (We need regulation based on ethics, morals, and fairness, not on who buys the most lawyers, but thats another rant for another day.)

RIT doesn't need to run this, the students are already reading your email. Just go sit in the library or sau cafeteria, pull a roaming IP, and sniff dce passwords on port 143.

Volkswagen hadn't sold well in the US since the Beetle (the original). So they added some chrome, made them look more like luxury cars, jacked the price $10,000, and now everybody wants one. It has gotten to the point that they are considering dumping Audi and competing with BMW and MB with the VW marquee.

Can someone explain what this means:

"they are entitled to make money from their work"
No no no no no. This is a common misunderstanding. No company should be entitled to anything. You make money if people decide to buy your product.
Although, I guess if you are abusing a monoopoly such that people haven't a choice, you are sort of entitled. Either way, its a problem.

The Beetle was cheap and barely usable. Nobody bought one to show off to the other soccer moms. They had a cult following. The New Beetle is a fad.
