You can see a lot with a small scope if you get away from city lights. A lot of discoveries have been made by amateur astronomers. Besides astronomy being a good nerdy hobby, having a telescope can also be usful in the city for voyerism!
"HP has knifed products that work for products that don't."
Do you know why they do this? It's because Carly Fiorina is an IBM mole, and her mission is to destroy HP.

If you want to do it yourself, you had better know what the hell you are doing. You can't learn overnight reading a book. My house, which was all I could afford for a first home,is full of some clown who thought he was handy's botch jobs. It's a disaster! Cabinets hung too high to reach, and I'm a tall man! Doors are hung backwards, and nothing is level or plumb. Some things are worth paying for, like competent contractors.
The real inventors of things often never get credit. Nikola Tesla invented radio before Marconi. Weed Eater was invented by a backyard tinkerer who got nothing. Edison took credit for things invented by others who were working for him, and bashed Nikola Tesla, making most people think he was nuts. It does not suprise me at all that Bell took credit for someone else's work.
Did you notice how much time this MSnbc article spent singing the praises of Microsoft's efforts to fix software problems? It doesn't even mention in passing any other companies trying to fix these problems, but takes stabs at Oracle and Network Associates. This article was about 30% real news, and 70% an ad for Microsoft.
Lousy picture quality, and they will wear out. Good riddence to VHS, your grandpa's way to collect movies. I guess they are an appropriate format for the Jurassic Park flicks, though.
Why opensource commercial software? Won't you lose your ability to sell for a profit? Not neccesarily. The open source community will give you free testing and debugging. A real savings over paying people to do it, and many will do it with a passion, not just as drones working on the clock at a saltmine.
When it comes time to sell the finished product, some will take the free version online, but most will want a colorful shrinkwrapped box with CDs inside. That is something tangible. Open source does not have to turn software into something you give away, and you never have to give away technical support.
The suit is in California, So if you aren't, you may have to sue in your state. If it hosed up their computer, and they had to have it fixed, a copy of the receipt for computer repair is proof that you suffered harm. If that is not the case, then their fair use and personal property rights have been violated. I don't know if that is culpable in your state. You would have to ask a lawyer. Short of suing or joining a class action, you can join an ever growing group of consumers boycotting the recording industry. http://www.dontbuycds.org
Don't mark up that copy protected disc. That would be naughty! For detailed instructions on what you better not get caught doing, read http://www.uncoveror.com/sayno.htm Thought you would like to know.
When buggy commercial software is rushed to market, and it's failure costs it's users money, the manufacturers of the software, like any other product, should be held liable. Companies like Microsoft and Oracle would whine and complain, but consider if cars failed as often as Microsoft's products. Having car buyers accept a licence agreement wouldn't exempt the big 3 from liability.
The problem with capitalism is that is has become a religion to so many people, one in which greed is a virtue, and money, god. In this religion, anything that could cut the profitability of business, such as environmental legislation, is evil.
The globe is warming up, as the facts revealed in this NY times article clearly demonstrate. We need to curtail emissions of greenhouse gasses now. It may alredy be to late, though. Those who believe in the religion of capitalism may begin flaming me for my blasphemy now.

We do have laws like that, but they are essentially meaningless. The courts are full of right wing pro business judges that let corporations get away with way too much.
If they succesfully push this through, we should all boycott used CDs. Now we should all be boycotting new CDs, and the products of companies trying to steal our fair use and personal property rights.

IBM uses more than just patents to take out the competition. They also like to place moles into their competitors, such as Carly Fiorina at HP. They want a monopoly. Microsoft arent the only Borg!

The Belgian Government, either unilaterally or on the behalf of the European Union, should simply take this NOC over. Nationalize it. The backbone is too important to let anyone just pull the plug on it. Some things are just too important to be left to greedy businessmen. Kudos to the former employees who have kept the network up as volunteers because it was neccesary and the right thing to do.
Downloading is no threat to the recording industry's revenues. Many consumers just have to have something tangible. Especially teenage girls who must have the new glossy photos of 'Nsync with the new CD. The threat is to their power base. They might lose their abilty to tell artists, "I made you a star, That's why I get the big money, and you get a pittence." Many artists are starting to "get it" that the fans made them stars, and without fans, they would be starving artists. The recording industry, on it's current course is just going to drive people who need something tangible to the pirate dealers at the flea market, then everyone but the pirates lose. http://www.dontbuycds.uncoveror.com/piracy. htm
If artists would start their own websites, and sell directly to the public, cutting out the corporate leeches entirely, I would buy. Perhaps the Musician's Guild could start a not-for-profit co-op to help artists do just that. Until the corporate leeches are out of the recording industry, we all should boycott it. http://www.dontbuycds.org
There is no such thing as a truely original idea. Every idea we come up with is based on something we have seen, heard, or otherwise experienced. Perhaps someone who was born in a cave, then abandoned, yet somehow survived could create an idea uninfluenced by any other, but could such a person exist?
In the current state of affairs, It might be neccesary to copyright things under something like the GNU public licence. If I were to write something intended for the public domain with no protections, a corporation could claim they wrote it, and get rich off of it, robbing the public domain of what I intended to give to them. This kind of thing has been done countless times with patents, Weed eater was invented by a tinkerer, not the corporation that got it patented.

Yes. This article was a thinly veiled ad for Microsoft.

For obscure info, no single search engine is enough. A search engine summarizer like copernic is a good idea. Dogpile is pretty good, too.

Every company and computer user in Korea who gets Nimda from Visual Studio should sue. This kind of recklessness by Microsoft is criminal negligence!
Ownership is not the issue. The facility if physically located in Brussels, Belgium. They can worry about angering KPN Quest later.
