I think he's referring to the soup of DVD(+/-)(R/W). It is just a mess for people to deal with
Which brings up an interesting point. The market's "solution" was to start selling dual-format DVD burners (+/-). There was a price premium over the single-format DVD burners, but now you can get them for around $30-$50, and it seems that most burners are dual-format.
I wonder if we'll end up seeing a similar solution in the HD-DVD/Blu-ray war, where companies start selling dual format drives. It would appear that's a solution the customer is willing to accept, even at a higher price point.
Microsoft routinely moves future estimated pre-sales of their products to current year's tallies, making it near-impossible to gauge their true sales numbers.
Is that different, at all? I mean, Microsoft's business model is somewhat akin to a subscription service, correct? (this is a serious question)
Enron, on the other hand, booked $53 million in profit on their on-demand-video co-venture with Blockbuster, before the technology was even proved viable.
All the more reason not to buy a launch unit. That way, you're not stuck with some bullshit external HD-DVD drive, and you'll be able to get the console in black, like god intended.
Publicly traded corporations are owned by thousands or more people. Those working for them are not to be shielded simply because they are employees.
I don't disagree with your general point. My comment was a pithy remark intended to generate a laugh response, commonly known as "humor" among the higher-level anthropoid species.
"As McLean pointed out, her Fortune article, "Is Enron Overpriced?" appeared in March 2001. Yet in 1993 an article in Forbes sharply questioned Enron's troubling mark-to-market accounting for assets, which claimed profits for investments long before it was clear that they would in fact evolve. A few years later, an article in Fortune again signaled concern."
Fines are not enough and hurt shareholders more than those who are responsible: the executives. The true punishment should be fines and jail time for the COO, CFO, CEO and all the other Cx0's. What does fining a company do except bleed the shareholders?
Dude, the whole function of the corporation as we know it is designed as such to shield individuals from direct legal action. That's why they're so popular.
This is reminiscent of Enron's mark to market accounting, wherein you basically determine the real market asset value, then you just make up a bunch of shit.
in a story about a online music shop, that all this DRM is really just shooting themselves in the foot! If it doesn't work on a iPod will it not work on a RIO either? how about a sony walkman? Maybe I should download a copy for free and at a higher bit rate from the internet?

I want to go a kick some Korean butt!! If I can program these guys for remote control I'm totally going to save thousands of dollars and spend that on programmers to teach this bot Pride Fighting. Oh, they are so going down!!!
Didn't Star Wars Episode III teach you anything? The Korean Clone Army will totally kick your Droid army's ass.
But they do the same in the Microsoft section. As I was scanning the list I threw that point out as moot after scanning it the second or third time.
Ok, so if you throw out all 141 "updated" occurrences in the Microsoft section, that leaves 671 (812-141=671). If you throw out all 1437 "updated" occurences in the linux/unix secion, that leaves 891 (2328-1437=891). Subtracting Apple OS X (130) and Sun Solaris (77), Linux/Unix ends up with less vulnerabilities than Windows (891-130-77=684).
If you read the actual list, a lot of the vulnerabilities are listed multiple times with an (updated) notation. So the 2,328 number isn't exactly "correct".

Futurama could follow in the footsteps of Family Guy and re-enter production more than two years after it was axed.
Well, i'm waiting... what did they ax it?

It appears that they may have actually been implementing more than one bad accounting practice.
I believe they were implementing the Lay-Skilling "More the Merrier" approach to accounting fraud.

A big "N" on the favicon makes you think of Sun?
Dude, settle down. Yes, I know what the Netscape logo looks like. I'm using Firefox, and I see the sun logo, not the netscape logo.
You might want to look into getting some small, portable copies of the Roche logo, and eating them.
Mark to market isn't what Enron did.
Yes, Mark-to-market is what Enron did:

It's marked copyright "MTV Networks", no mention of M$, but the really great part - the bookmark icon is the Netscape logo...
The bookmark icon looks like the Sun Microsystems logo, to me.
Urge launches with over 2 million tracks for purchase or as part of an all-you-can eat subscription
And here I was, thinking the Urge only had like two albums out.

But why does it look like an ipod that's been assimilated by the Borg?
It makes me feel much better, considering they cut the CyberSecurity budget to $16 million.

Ok, so if the guy's the subject of a "long-planned" conspiracy, why step down? and why the apology?
why not just harness the wave energy?
After the 2000 election debacle, we had money thrown at the states to "fix the problem." So we ended up with 35 different solutions.
Only 35 solutions? I'm pretty sure we have more states than that... Are you using wikipedia for reference again?
I think the real question here is, why does Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle hate America? And Freedom?
And Babies?
You can always tell which rumors are true by the rapid-fire Apple lawsuits to the websites responsible.
I use portableThunderbird (thunderbird that runs from a USB drive) and it's great.
