The problem with your example is those certain "rights" are not spelled out. What is a right and what is a priveledge? Amendment X was meant to limit the size of the Federal government and give more power to the States. Yeah that's worked out! The civil war basically nullified any power the states once had. Now States only have powers the Federal government wants them to have. And anytime the federal government wants control, they either ammend the constitution or get the states hooked on federal dollars (Education!).
I was playing guitar in a bar one night and the power died. The bar had about 10 of these arcade games with touch screens that had about 20-25 games each with great graphics. I've watched people dump alot of money into these games all night. When the power came back on I was pleasantly suprised to see everyone of those machines going through an init with a bright green OK after each step. After closer examiniation each system was running RedHat 7.3. I've played these games several times and never realised they were running linux. These games were really quite good.
2) CEO and major board members retire wealthy,
leaving mess for someone else to worry about.
3) Tell next victim how the previous company tanked without your guidance.
Sounds like MBA standard operating practices 101, the college class than can be substituted for ethics. The next CEO will just inflate earnings, claim huge savings by outsourcing, hide losses and try to bail before their caught.
It turns out that an alien message designed to last millenia should be 'inside a large number of self-replicating, self-repairing microscopic machines programmed to multiply and adapt to changing conditions', otherwise known as living cells. Are we the message?"
If we were the message, it would have long ago mutated as to be undecipherable. The message was destroyed by SG-1 and the those gray aliens in last seasons Stargate. Seriously, DNA wouldn't be my choice, but a self replicating nanobot designed to reproduce with extreme fidelity would be more suitable for a message. Unfortunately, uncontrolled replication could have disastrous results.
This is why the "GNU" part of "GNU/Linux" should NOT be forgotten. People in the Microsoft mind-set immediately think that "Linux" is what they see when they look at a screenshot of X11 running KDE
So is it GNU/KDE now? Since when did the GNU foundation claim ownership of KDE? If Stallman wants to call it GNU linux fine, but really shouldn't it be "KDE/GNOME/GNU/X.org/And a whole shitload of university students & profs/Many other bright people/Nasa ethernet drivers/NSA Security Enhancements/Linux"?
Isn't this just a "Linux Personality Kit" for Solaris? Is Sun infringing on SCO's IP? I can hear attack dog Darl growling in the distance. And the voice of his master Bill Gates saying 'Down Boy! We already own them!'
Is adding a larger hard drive to your computer stealing? How about I take the diesel engine out of my Dodge Ram and put it in my gasoline powered Chevy Chevy? (and the engines polution controls) Is that stealing, let's say I make an adapter engine mount to allow this, is that stealing? In fact it is common practice to reprogram a cars computer for increased horsepower. Are race car drivers thieves? Violating the DCMA is not necessarily stealing. The law was written by politicians on the take, who were so willing to get that money that they flushed any common sense down the toilet along with their morality. The DCMA has yet to be determined if all the possible situations would pass muster when stacked up against other laws and the US Constitution. Violating the DCMA on a technicality that was not what the original intentions of it's sponsors is not stealing. The DCMA was meant to stop cable theft and by-passing DRM. Not to prevent adding capabilities and value to the consumer.
So should it be illegal to add a trailer hitch to a car to pull a trailer since the car didn't come with that functionality? What so special about an iPod that makes it different from a car? In a car it is illegal too remove some functionality (ie polution controls), the same logic could apply (ie remove DRM). But real networks didn't do that, what they did is not much different than say put in a larger disk! Should that be illegal? How about I upgrade an older Dell computer that had Win2k to WinXP? The computer didn't come with XP, by your logic should that be illegal? How about Linux? Or are you just trolling and really aren't that shallow in thought?
Use xcdroast for a month and then use k3b for more than 5 minutes. Then say to yourself, which would I rather use? I'm not going into the KDE vs. Gnome debate but K3B rocks.
I do have interests other than my profession.
Now if they came out with an IT Mag in the same vein as EasyRider, I'd be more apt to subscribe!
Centerfold girls and the latest apple gear which to look st first?
Then send him emails detailing his computer use.
He has already said you have the right. Just include the little devil in an email. After you have sent him his "report", have it timed to pop-up dialog boxes reminding him of his decision.
Sometimes I forget with all the paper MCSE's running around. I interviewed one a couple of years ago he had a six week crash course and a high school education. He wanted $70k. After we had a good laugh, we hired a guy with a BS in Information Systems working on his MAsters in Computer Science with experience with UNIX/Linux & Windows. One year later we converted to all linux. Our conversion went smooth as butter.
The jury is still out on that one. Just when you thought the threat of nuclear annihilation from the cold war was over, along comes Pakistan & North Korea. And they want to sell the technology. Looking at things is perspective, I don't think of World War III as being that improbable. There will be a nuclear exchange, maybe limited, maybe not. But I don't count out the incredible stupidity that comes from to many people on one planet competing over limited resources.
There isn't firewire support compiled into the kernel. If you want to connect an iPod or use any other firewire devices you have to recompile the kernel. That is a really stupid omission especially when it was reported in bugzilla during test 2!
Wrong! The RIAA just lost a court case in which many artists weren't paid at all! Read this!
If they raise the price I will no longer buy until the price goes down. I thought $.99 was too high, If they upset me enough I won't buy until the price is lower than that. That is the only answer they will understand.
I maybe wrong on the no outside accreditation, I last looked at a technical school in the 1980's. There is a problem with technical schools perception among companies. There are more than a couple in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. I interviewed several graduates from ITT tech. & ECPI (local) for my previous employer, they frowned on their educational background because of a lack of higher Math skills. That was why they weren't selected. We decided on recent William & Mary and Old Dominion graduates. They contracted for NASA and Jefferson Labs and the DOD mostly Navy. I just looked at the websites from those schools and they are listed as local employers for their graduates.
Well they may be getting jobs there it's not for too technical. I know of one computer 'operator' who worked for the company and he graduated graduated from ECPI.
DeVry is a vocational type "college". They supposedly teach the skills needed for a career and not much else. Many of these schools claim you can get a 4 year degree in 2 years. They generally don't have requirements in english, foriegn language etc. So most are not accredited by the same accrediting board as colleges are. Many have no outside accreditation of any type. They aren't publically supported and are a corporate owned "for profit" only type of school. Universities are public or private institutions and get most of there funds through endowments and/or government subsidies in addition to tuition. And are regionally accredited through an independent board setup and agreed upon by all of the universities it covers. One such organisation is the Southern Convention of Colleges. I can't say for sure about DeVry, but most of the vocational or technical schools only want your money. Most provide at best poor teaching and are generally frowned upon by most employers.
I went to High School in the seventies, the class valedictorian was by far the most respected student there. He was not in any sports but was the nicest guy in the entire school. He is now our family doctor. Things are different today, it's not that we didn't have some of the same things going on. But today it's just more extreme. People got beat up in school or about something that happened at school that never got settled, not often but it happened. Today people get killed in school,not often but it happens. There is a big difference. The popular songs talked about alot of things. Sex, drugs, love etc. Now I hear songs that talk about popping a cap in someones ass. Or a dead girl friend in the trunk. Things are different, while alot of themes are similiar, it's just alot more extreme.
Bad habit I know! I don't smoke, do drugs or drink coffee but put a blue bottle of diet pepsi with a screw on cap next to my keyboard and it's gone before I can complete the next "for" loop!

Blood just squirting is woefully inefficient. Now when you cut a major artery, you'll die much more quickly.

Open up a can sometime in a very sterile room and look at the soda under a microscope, you might be very surprised.

Wow! That looks 100% better! Before it just didn't look right. Now it follows Mandrake's Galaxy theme and looks great.

Hmm! I'm soon to be 45, this article depresses me! Well at least Fortran is still older than me. It was created in 1954.
Bad habit I know! I don't smoke, do drugs or drink coffee but put a blue bottle of diet pepsi with a screw on cap next to my keyboard and it's gone before I can complete the next "for" loop!
No kidding? Yah think? The blues don't have the advertisment!
