If you want to make it realistic, you have to have the situation where you are NOT receiving any work from the other college. So you and your collegues get to do no work, and receive an F in the class.
exactly what part of 9/11 was based on GWB economic policy? Things were bad before 9/11 (Thank you Bill) but tanked thereafter. I'll agree they have not recovered.
Oh, and don't be a total wus, Kerry. At least get account before you post.
It's not quite fair to say Kerry's "people" have agreed, but Bush himself has not. You've already displayed that this apparently is not a discourse about issues, but an ambush (pardon the pun;-) to attack GWB. If I were GWB, I would not participate either. Besides, unlike most of the yahoos reading this board, GWB has a job.
Sounds just like the stuff predicted in the '30's that would be in place by the '70s. Except they had flying cars to look forward to. We don't even get that any more.
I don't disagree with you, but I still say this is the wrong way about trying to get a message out. If all you can do is keep the "other side" of a discussion from speaking, then your side does not deserve to be heard.
No ifs, ands or buts. Denying others their free speech rights via DDOS - these guys are making all of us and our anti DRM, "info wants to be free", OSS support look like fools. I hope the FBI throws every one of them in jail.
This experimental car apparently didn't meet even the most minimum saftey requirements and should not have been permitted on the public road. I seriously doubt (but have not confirmed) it had a seatbelt, airbags, bumpers or any other safety equipment designed into cars today. Its operation should only have been permitted on a track somewhere where other vehicles could have been removed. I know that there are "rallys" and contests where these cars enjoy the privileges of licensed vehicles, but this article points to the reason they should not be allowed to do so. Now the Canadian government will likely pass some idiotic law constraining the privileges of normal road users on behalf of these experimental vehicles,

One guy with enough money and user demand (Doom3) to make Creative in particular, and software patents in general, look bad, and he caves.
If he had said "we can't release Doom3 because of CL's patents" then CL would have felt the wrath of every Geek worldwide.
If he had said "we'll release Doom3 but without support for CL's proprietary stuff" then everyone would have just upgraded their sound card when they upgrade their video for D3;-)
No thanks John. We don't need people like you looking out for us "users."
Looks like I don't need to upgrade any of my hardware. I'm not buying Doom3.

Why does that rich bastard Dreyfuss think he has carte blanche (sp?) with my tax dollars? He can do whatever the f*ck he wants to, but not if I'm paying for it. And if any of my tax money goes to PBS, the I DESERVE A SAY in how it is used. And I don't want to hear any left- or right- wing bullshit about freedom of expression. Go express yourself on your own f*cking dime.

If you think this is a permanent change in MS behaviour, I have a swamp to sell you. As soon as they get any significant advantage in that market, they'll change back to screwing their customers. MS WILL NOT CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOUR.
"but if you ask anyone in the streets (take someone in Sweden or Italy if you want them to be neutral), they will tell you that they are much more afraid of violence in countries that allow people to carry weapons around (e.g. the USA) than in countries where it is not allowed, no matter what the Official Crime Rate is." That's the rub ain't it? That feeling they have is not based on logic - it's based on the propaganda they've been fed about guns. Even though they're safer in a weapon allowed society, they don't believe they are.
Didn't the left already do a movie called "Day after Tomorrow" in the Eighties where there was a big nuke war? I saw that as fearmongering over Reagan's arms buildup (which brought down the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union BTW). And guess what? Despite the chicken little leftists, there was no nuke war. I see this current fearmongering as more of the same. Whiny leftist radical environazis that can't stand economic expansion of the US and use any stupid half-baked idea to attack it.
How many environmental protests do you see in Beijing? Why not? At least the US has pollution controls. China ignores them.
Does that mean I should not access the BBC new website from here either? OK.
Make sure you stay away from CNN and it's websites. It operates under the permission of the US government which I have to fund from my taxes. I don't want you leeching off my taxes.
but a shitty attitude like this is a good way to end up with 3% of the online music market like they have with the OS market. Remember, Apple used to be No 1 in computers too.
"Divided we fall" should be the mantra of every single non-MS technology company.
I'd like to buy an OSX machine, but Jobs' crap attitude along with Apples exorbitant pricing keeps me away.
"Let me give you an example. Say I earn $100k, so clearly I'm not in your 'very rich' category."
