Just a quick parallel for those interested. OSHA's new Ergonomic Standard is set to go into effect on January 16, 2002. You can read the final standard yourself, be patient though, it's a large page.
Some day MS will have control over your PC, TV, Game Console, Remote, Handheld, Frig, Toaster, Oven, Car, toys, and much more.
Microsoft continues it's monopolistic ways by developing new technologies that they themselves may not make, but what will run it? The OS.
So many people still continue to over look this nightmare while Microsoft's tentacles continue to plunge into new areas feeding a machine that may never be over powered.
I don't understand how some folks can set back and say that we are just flaming MS. This is truly something that should scare anyone. Not only as a consumer, but a human.
Just think, this may be some what OT, but how much of our information is passed through Microsoft software. One company in the world that in some way touches your life, whether you like it our not.
I look at it as a cause. I'll use Linux, play my PS2, and maybe this weekend buy a GBA.
Sure we all say this sounds great, those who are on topic, but are we really going to allow something so powerful and some what useful become real.
The net grew from the computer as a need of sorts. Are we going to allow our behaviour to change for a searchable TV instead of develop?
The internet has put more computers in homes than Microsoft could ever take credit for, but the TV has been there far to long. As they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
It would end being a high priced electronic toy used rarely day to day, a nitch market at best. Just like other "web enabled" appliances. Such a shame.
The labels are worried that the rise of home CD-burners has eaten into album sales, particularly after the worst year in a decade for the music industry.
Has the music industry thought about how much negative press the RIAA has given them. How it has made users like myself hate them and many of the artists the represent.
I use to love Metallica, I felt like they backstabed me as a fan. I swear, if I ever buy a copy protected CD, I maybe a nobody, but to the Senators question, I'd at least try and sue. Never know, maybe a class action could be brewing here.
Go after major copyright infringement and use Joe Home User alone.
It's believed by some the letter was opened over the desk at witch the key board sat. The dust filled the area when the letter was opened and the the keyboard collected the dust.
You can get the same great effect with coffee to.
Now how did it get to the Nasal passage?
A: Inhalation during the tme the letter was opened.
B: Strange smell from desk, checking area by sniffing with nose.
C: Type. Insert finger to nose. Examine finger. Repeat as needed.
I believe these action would also make it easier to obtain a warrant. No probable cause just a need to. I'll search for that, I know it's here some where.
Well if that's how you feel, being an American should make any one feel arrogant, since it's the best God Damn Nation on this Planet to live and breath!
"Anonymous Coward," Is that not how you say... Ashamed?
I'll believe it when I see it. So far it sounds like GUI on top of WINE. XWine? j/k Philippe.

Thomas Jefferson owning slaves is an interesting way to see how our society has evolved toward a goal, The American Dream of Life, Liberty, and Justice for all. He help, was he the complete American? Are we? We may not own slaves, but the good in every individual ands to the moral fiber of America. We may not always get it right, but this nation has the ability over many in the world, to try.
Osama, if he were in the U.S., would be treated no more different than a mass murdering citizen.... But then there is always the public opinion and media.
If you turley feel that some one on U.S. soil should not be treated as an equal under the law, I feel that makes you the moron.
Games are an outlet. They let us be some one we are not. From the almighty God to Counter Terrorist. What would the world be with out such outlets.
Killing some one is wrong, but human's have a deep built in aggression that is nicely satisfied by such games. People who help kids form there view of the world are what make us understand right from wrong, good from evil.
Those around us are what make us who we are, the things we do are based on them and what we have learned from them. Don't blame something that is meant for entertainment.
Is porn the reason for domestic abuse or rape. No, it's the way some one saw others do things. If a kid is around a parent that treats women in a poor manner what do thing that kid is going to learn.
Fundamental values have to be ingrained in a person for them to know how to understand the things around them. People have to take responsibility for actions of other people along with the person in the action. A person has to know the moral right and wrong to be able to use such things as games, movies, etc. in a meaningful manner.
Raise a kid on the Bible, with love from the parents and Disney what will you get? The same kid on horror and war movies where mommy is an alcoholic and daddy spends is nights cruising the corners for whores will be a far different individual.
That's insane. Hey your not a citizen. We can take away everything you own, beat you as we please, maybe even kill you. Hey, he's not a citizen... Doesn't count.
Every person in the U.S. should be treated as if they were a citizen. They break the law, they are punished by the law. They follow the law, leave them alone. They disagree with law, let them stand against it.
Once I buy something it's mine. You make a purchase ownership belongs to you not the maker. I said purchase, not rent or lease.... and don't even say license. I don't lease my CD's or rent my clothes. I by a music CD, I own that music just like the artist. Has anyone really ever had their lively hood taken away by folks making copies? No, just the bottom line! I say keep it in check. Get the large groups that do it or profit and leave everyday Joe alone.
Slashdot Mirror
3:15 EST May 28, 2003 Current Price is 6.75 (-22.50%).... How low will it go?
Makes you wonder how many Anonymous Coward readers orginate with in the Microsoft domain.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM????

The 12 to 16 age group for cell phone use is one of the fastest growing in Europe and Japan. Japan=Nintendo. Better hurry Microsoft.

If Mr. Robertson is a well respected business person, I would hope he would stake his rep on a hoax.
Flamebait, shame on me, myself, and..... U.
Never said it would. Just trying to humor myself at the expense of another post with flame to Microsoft.

You've come a long way baby.
You've got a long way to go.
I think it's just illegal to sell, not possess.
You are correct, Australia has banned the sale of GTA 3.
What do you expect from a country with what appear to be some leftist leanings?
Bravo, good show. Good show I say.
Lucky for us, he is not in the U.S. and has to face the military, not the U.S. court system.
