Nope. Many Diebold ATM systems are unpactched Windows XP installs with a internet connection and no firewall. Here are some images someone setup as an MP3 player after it crashed to the desktop.
"They probably make the ATM's you use, among other things that need to be secure." but aren't. I walk away from any ATM that says DIEBOLD. I once saw one crashed to the Windows XP desktop. Scarry to say the least. I'll stick with the old B&W OS/2 based ATMs.
Lets see, a company whos leader claims to want to reform the US as a theocracy and has sworn to give the ellection to George Bush has a product used for e-voting that has a "feature" (sorry, this is not a bug) that allows someone to rig an election. Gee, I have no idea why anyone whould think this was anything negative.
"Outsourcing also raises the amount of money third world countries have. As they get richer, they start buying more expensive luxuries made in the industrialized nations."
No they dont. They buy stuff made in India, China nad Taiwan.
"In the end, it will help our economy. Also, it is true that we do lose jobs to outsourcing. Like the article mentioned, however, we gain new skilled labor positions that are better paying than the manual labor positions that were eliminated."
Realy? Name them. If outsourcing jobs creates jobs, where are they? Why do we have such high levels of unemployment in the IT industry if all these jobs are being created?
"If most of the updates will be available for current versions of Windows, what is the incentive to upgrade?"
Why does there need to be an incentive to upgrade? People allways complain that Microsoft "forces" them to upgrade (not that they ever have in my opinion), shouldn't we all be happy that thats not going to be the case (assumming that these two things are the only diference between XP and Longhorn, not that they are)?
There is no way I could take Gattaca seriously. It was filmed for the most part at the Marin County Civic Center in CA, which is where I live. Seeing an old 70s building where you go to get people out of jail or file a small claims court document as a setting for future space travel just didn't work for me. Sames true of THX 1138, filmed at the civic center and at/on BART (bay area rapid transit).
Or we could have a system where people who want to listen to music could pay for it! We could call these people "consumers" and they could buy music in a format called "Compact Discs" at places called "stores". That way only the people who like a given piece of music end up paying for it and we dont end up with a broken socialist system like Europe.
The day my taxes go to Yanni is the day I start setting towns on fire.
Its not throwning moral/ethical stones in glass houses. You just dont understand what these people are trying to say. They're against teh RIAA etc trying to stop them doing what ever the fuck the want without consequences. You see the world OWES them free movies, music, software etc.
Imagine a soccer mom putting on makeup and chatting on her cell phone while zigging in and out of traffic in three dimensions. If we get flying cars we wont NEED terrorists anymore, I?ll never leave my house.
Can't switch, unless someone has been able to get Microsofts OWC active-x objects working in Mozilla (I've tried, but as far as I can tell the Mozilla active-x plugins are designed to simply crash). In addition I need support for the Lotus Domino java applets, which also crash under mozilla.
" No law has ever stopped gay men from living out life in gay relationships (in whatever form.) No amount of anti-gay violence has ever stopped gay men from being gay."
And yet many laws in many states make it illegal to be gay. Look up the "anti-sodomy" laws. They are clearly targeted at homosexuals and not hetro's who like anal sex.
No. But I remember when the Internet wasn't full of people who thought they where entitled to the works of others without compensation or permission. When you could release a program as shareware and actualy have people register rather then crack it.

Wasn't talking of bush but rather the CEO of diebold.

Seems that Alviso is in the San Jose-Sunnyvale area of California.
Not the notebook, but running an add like this on Slashdot?
No they dont. They buy stuff made in India, China nad Taiwan.

Taking candid shots down the blouse of the woman next to you on the train is, unfortunately, a larger market demographic then video phones.
Does this mean I should stop harvesting body parts off of hookers?
Wow. So this is the buy that wrote Microsoft Sound Recorder?

Um, no they dont. They offer a product or service at a price they decide on. You can either pay it or not. Thats it.

You act as if a privileged session on a Linux system could write to /etc/passwd or somthing!
Oh wait.....
Anser back: "Why doesn't yours?". Hell, based on the size of this thing I think they're targeting Texas geeks.
No I mean the Office Web Components. Used by many ASP applications to present pivot table and graph data.
World is too IE centric.

Even if this where true (please explain how the GPL prevents forks). I thought competition was good.
