a subject that can be felt on both sides is divided into Democrat and Republican. It is not that simple. In case you haven't noticed, they have both screwed us over. They both have their price. I thought his post was good, no matter which way he leaned. And from what I read, he did stick to the topic. And please don't tell me you're crying about his references to the Iraqi occuaption. In the few references he made to it in his post, I believe he was correct. If you don't think so, then feel free to take a look at the estimate of how much it's going to cost to occupy and rebuild Iraq. Oh...that's right, you can't because the initiative to get the administration to reveal how much it would cost was voted down by the same people you appear to support in your post.
Talk about off-topic...:)
Anyways, this is not something that can be divided into left and right. If the corporations really were here for us, they would have found a way to legitimize P2P and compensate the artists for it. But they haven't and are serving people billion-dollar lawsuits to show their gratitude for us being their customers. Something is going to happen, regardless. Maybe these corporations that are way out of control will be put on a leash, maybe people who divide things into democrat and repupblican will realize it's not that easy.
Come on man, just because they say that access to the internet is a basic right in their country doesn't mean that it makes everything legal. In the United States, just because we have a (dwindling) right to own weapons doesn't mean we have a free pass to kill whoever we please. And if it's an incarcerated person, then restrict what sites they go to. They are in jail anyway.
Looks like they can't do anything for any of Microsoft's competitors... but would linux itself really qualify as a competitor? I know there are many people who package distributions, but what if it was a non-commercial distro such as slackware they were trying to burn?
And as long as they mentioned SCO, I would love to see them driven into the ground for what they're doing.
Loose your election, get a post you're not remotely qualified for in a few months!
Damn skippy. And you would think that Bush's PR machine would have kept Rumsfeld out of his current position. I guess it does pay to keep people ignorant.
Is have microsoft come in and tune-up the state's computers, install some linux, *nix, etc servers where necessary or applicable, hook them up with some free W3C-compliant (no MS specific html) government websites instead of giving out vouchers to keep people hooked on their overpriced crap.
"The Internet allowed Mr. Roh to liberate himself from "black money" -- corporate donations that are South Korea's traditional form of campaign financing. Largely through Internet-based campaign groups, Mr. Roh raised the equivalent of about $1-billion from more than 180,000 individual donors."
Maybe all representatives could have an account set up to where people can donate over the internet. Then the government could ban soft money donations altogether. But there would be so much opposition to it from corporate interests it would be shot down day one. But I can hope...
If you want to spend money on an R/C car, don't go for this mini crap. My little brother can't handle the 1/10 scales very well yet, so he got one of these mini cars. They don't last very long. It was exchanged once because the steering went bad on him, and the second one did the same thing. Spend your money on a bigger R/C car. It's definitely worth it.

Just get a few of your friends, some good music and some time to kill. Anyone who has played test drive on the ps2 has an idea of what i'm talking about. All of the sudden, those 15-second load times turned into 3+ minutes.
watch traffic on the site jump sharply and then they tell hollings and company that file trading runs rampant and they're losing money, which in turn gets them corporate welfare (DMCA, SSSCA, etc). They could be using slashdot against us...
Well, if the companies allow their software to be distributed freely for educational purposes, then more people would be inclined to use (and hopefully pay for) the software that they learned on.

SCO's screwed
SCO's screwed
messed with linux
now they're (hopefully) finished
Stock goes down the drain
and lawsuits ensue
IBM makes them their bi*ch
and no KY too!
SCO, I hope you die-EEEEE!
S-C-O, I hope you die...
over and over...
Oops. Forgot this.

Didn't Marx say something along the lines of "the seeds for the destruction of capitalism are within"?
"I wonder how Microsoft will convince consumers that loss of control is a good thing, and how long the convincing will take."
Tell them if they don't they'll be supporting terrorism.
25 bucks and a bottle of peroxide!
That the RIAA and MPAA will merge into the Entertainment Industry Association of America. God help us if they do.

Just find a way to joe cell my g-shock and i'll be happy.

Well, there's no Tom Cruise and no scientology (hopefully) involved.
I'm a one handed dialing fan. The 6800 seems much better for the job. Folding keyboard, and (I think) a little bit bigger screen.

Isn't that what money is for?
Too bad it's a closed system. If there was a way to scratch with it, that would be pretty damn cool.

Maybe that's what is needed. Let it go and it will come back and bite them on the ass. Two birds with one stone.
up it would go. Great post.
