With the careful that they've selected to do their restorations, I intend to remain optimistic. I hope the money they make by releasing their cash cows pays for a few obscure dictorial debuts, oscar winners, and industry milestones.

So, a legitimate user of Microsoft Office who chooses to run it under WINE is told that he can't use Office Update.
No, no, no, no no.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!
The spokesperson said users who are not running Windows XP or Windows 2000 natively can still download updates for Microsoft Office from the Office Update Web site.
You can't use WINDOWSupdate to update Office if you're not using WINDOWS. You have to use OFFICEupdate to update Office.
The "extra effort" involved is pretty minimal. WINE has a registry value that identifies itself. Other emulators do the same.
This entire forum would go ape-shit if Microsoft was publishing a patch from Windowsupdate that broke WINE simply because it conveniently "forgot" to read that registry key.
Windowsupdate has simple checks in it to verify that it's updating actual installs of...wait for it...WINDOWS!
The key point to this is valid. Microsoft will continue to supply Office updates for you if you're using Office on ANY platform that you can make Office run on; what they won't do, however, is provide updates for your non-Microsoft platform.
Yeah, I had that happen once too. And two other times when it seemed to be missing but finally turned up. Either way, wait a week before they allow it to be reported as missing, and you aren't receiving a replacement movie during that time.
Odd, I report them missing, lost, damaged, and they send me one instantly. If the other one shows up, THEN they show me with 4 out and they hold my next one until two come back.
1) I buy them. Every other Tuesday or so, on release day, I go to Best Buy, or Walmart, or whomever has today's hot DVD at a fair price with the "only at this retailer" extra feature. These represent about 300 of my 600 DVDs.
2) I rent them from Netflix. All those foreign films from a director that made ONE good film and 5 stinkers - I rent his stinkers. Didn't watch the last season of Voyager but want to see the finale? Netflix. If I'm only going to watch it once, it comes from Netflix. These are probably 200 of my 600 movies.
3) I download them from Usenet, and rarely from a.torrent. Most "pay" news-servers have 45 days of retention in binary groups now, and DVD-5's (and 9's!) are posted regularly. A great place to get things like the From-Laserdisk Star Wars movies (or maybe a Magnolia Fan edit), cult classics, party movies (Bumfights comes to mind), etc. Probably 50 more here.
The rest of my movies are gifts, or from "other":)
Ok, sure, maybe it's wrong to copy Netflix movies and watch them later, but I'm *mostly* providing myself with a time-delay system; slowly watching my Netflix subscription at my own pace - not at the pace of the USPS -- and if it's a movie worth buying, I make it one of my silver retail discs and throw away the copy. If it's crap, I shove it back in its case, put it on the shelf, and forget about it.
Yes, and I know downloading them is wrong, but, hey, where else are you going to get Dark Side of Oz, and Star Wars Laserdiscs:)
If anything, during the last year that I've had Netflix, I think my level of service has gone UP. I get my movies quickly, and often in spurts, sometimes turning over 10 a week. They've never so much as batted an eye when the post office ate a DVD.
See, my story is just an anicdotal as the next guys...
Have the colors you want to calibrate to printed. Cut holes in printed sheets. Place sheet on monitor. While looking through hole, adjust color on monitor to match color on paper. Repeat on other colors. Repeat on other monitors.
...and, so other people know (because presumably you're trying to be cute), it's because you're filtering ads by removing everything at x10.com and replacing it with 1x1 transparent gifs, serving them from a local proxy.
Actually, as someone who has broadband internet, I'd like to remind you that there's a FANTASTIC posibility that you have "free" cable already. There's a reason they offer you "cheap" cable if you have high-speed internet; because you probably already have the service.
Remember X10? Those pop-ups were annoying as all hell. But the company's long out of business, and we still know who they are!
X10 is what? If you're not afraid of supporting heavy pop-up advertisers, and you have a disposable email address, they've still got quite the deal from time to time on random electronic closeouts.

That's how it works...

RTFA. Office users can still use Officeupdate to update Office.

Windowsupdate doesn't update things under WINE. Officeupdate does.
Update of Microsoft programs, like Office, still functions from Officeupdate - even when running them under programs like WINE.

A legitimate copy of windows, running under a hardware emulator, or a virtual machine (like VMWare or VirtualPC) will continue to be updated.
A piece of software that performs windows-like-functions, like WINE, won't continue to be updated.
The key point to this is valid. Microsoft will continue to supply Office updates for you if you're using Office on ANY platform that you can make Office run on; what they won't do, however, is provide updates for your non-Microsoft platform.
Microsoft is still not under ANY obligation to update YOUR emulator.
This mirror has low-res images. The Coral Cache link above works just dandy still as of 3pm Arizona time.

I get my movies three ways.

idiomatic with measure phrases is a polite way of saying, "wrong when used for exact measurements of finite numbers."

...and you also don't know the difference between less and fewer.

A couple million $.99 music downloads will probably disagree with you. A buck seems to be exactly what we'll pay for a big pile of bits.

If you like the show, read his book. America: Democracy Inaction is only $15, for god's sake, and anything that includes footnotes like:
"For purposes of this chapter, "people" still refers to white land owners."
"Until 1920, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November was known to women as 'Stay Home and Bake Day'"
