It's a lot fewer Bernie Ebbers, not a lot less. When discussing countable quantities (1 scumbag fewer, 2 scumbags fewer, etc.) you talk about how many or how few, and for non-countable stuff how much or how little (more scum, less scum).
Are you quite sure about that? Everything I've heard indicates that the fiduciary responsibility is to the owners of the company, i.e., the stockholders. However this means pressure to keep jacking up the price per share of the stock. They deal with this pressure by screwing the customers and the employees and from there it's an easy leap to screwing the smaller stockholders in favor of the larger. Look at the way Enron execs were able to unload their shares before they tanked while keeping the share price artificially high by keeping the rank and file's retirement fund shares frozen so that the employees couldn't dump all of their shares at the same time, and of course by the time that they could sell the price was in the basement.
Actually you could probably put that drive and an MFM controller board into your newest motherboard that still has an ISA slot and use it. I'll have to dig out one of my old MFM's or RLL's and try it.
My problem with Logitech is that the products aren't really different from the newer ones, they just can't be bothered to provide updated drivers, which prematurely orphans the hardware.
I've got a Logitech Scanman that I picked up used a few years ago. Anyone got a copy of Windows 1.x or 2.x so that I can actually use it? Maybe then I could use my brother's old Logitech mouse as well.
Don't by anything from Logitech if you ever want to update any of your software.
"...and the government plans to auction off billions of dollars of analog TV spectrum for other uses as soon as broadcasters make the switch to digital signals."
Although broadcasters will gleefully accept all the new spectrum they can get their hands on I fully expect them to give up what they have now when the government pries it from their cold, dead fingers. As long as there are households out there to be reached via the current analog system the National Association of Broadcasters' lobbyists will be roaming the halls of Congress buying as many politicians as necessary to let them keep beaming commercials to those households.
And yes, this story should have been on the main page.
And yes, the government should be leasing spectrum, not selling it.
Would that be a certain church that received a cut from Germany's income tax collection every year right up through 1944?
Of course if you really want to be scared, consider that the same type of people who were virulently anti-Jew prior to World War II are now big fans of Israel because they see it as helping to fulfill prophecy and bring about Armaggedon. Like we don't have enough to worry about without having to deal with the end of the world as well.

That depends on what quality of electrolytic capacitors the motherboard manufacturer used. There's a guy who specializes in resuscitating Abit boards by gang-replacing all the caps.
It's relevant in that the post September Eleventh changes in airport security proceedures provide law enforcement with yet another way to feed its addiction to the revenue stream provided by seizing assets, whether or not those assets were actually involved in real, proven in a jury trial crimes.
The Jews in World War II were in the same situation as the passeners and crew on the first three hijacked planes. They didn't know the real fate intended for them. The Jews thought they were going to work camps, the passengers thought they were going to be held as hostages for a while. If they had known exactly what awaited them their reaction would probably have been somewhat different.
Although I applaud most of your post, if you were a religious fanatic you might very well be willing to have that 9 year old boy die as a martyr and that bulge under your clothing might be something a lot more sinister than his soon to be little brother or sister. Not all Muslims look "Arabic" and Islam isn't the only religion with fanatics.
If your friend had gone to that auction to try to buy back his property, would the LAPD have had someone planted among the bidders to run up the price? One of the greatest addictions these days seems to be that of law enforcement entities to seized property and money.
If they charged your credit card, you shouldn't have been calling for a refund, you should have been insisting that they deliver the item, even if they had to go out and buy a new one somewhere. Don't offer, acceptance, and consideration add up to contract?
Well, the article indicates that he attended the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, so if that's where you knew him from then perhaps it's the same guy. Was the guy you knew the manager of the college's radio station? (Come to think of it you do seem to have described a station manager)
Of course the infallible way to know if it's the same guy is to check his user ID. The real Bruce Perens has User ID 3872.

We have forced schooling to keep the place from filling up with illiterates.
Well, there's already a "suitwatch.com" site "under construction" .

Funny, your description of Plug and Play hell sounds like what I go through with PCI cards.
So that's what we have to look forward to, a telephone that runs a Microsoft operating system?

Yeah, shouldn't he be dead at 55 by now?
The guy caught by the alert (female) border guard near Seattle was Ahmed Ressam.

What do you think highway patrolmen (and women) are?
If your friend had gone to that auction to try to buy back his property, would the LAPD have had someone planted among the bidders to run up the price? One of the greatest addictions these days seems to be that of law enforcement entities to seized property and money.
Because they aren't stupid enough to let their hate interfere with going where they can make enough to live on?

Actually, since you said "democrat" at first and "Democrat" subsequently, it could be argued that there was no repetition.
Wouldn't you consider a re-numeration of your pay in an upwards direction by a factor of ten or so to be a pretty fair chunk of remuneration?
At least with the Microtel you can probably replace the power supply without frying it or the motherboard.
