For a one-button mouse, I really like the design you're complaining about. I quickly got used to clicking with my whole hand and found it much more comfortable. However, I like opening contextual menus and scrolling with one hand, so i dumped it for a Kensington, which I don't love. Maybe I'll snag one of these Microsoft vagina mice.
I remember the very first commercial advertising I saw in a movie in the U.S.: the Batman premiere in 1987. The audience booed loudly when a Coke commerical appeared, the sentiment being at the time that we paid for the movie and a commercial's purpose was to pay for free content. It took about a week for the masses to be subdued.
My country is not a "fascist theocracy". Our current president and his administration deserve all of the criticism they get, but we have a real democracy here, and our political culture is still intact. We will get rid of him. Even if by some disaster he is re-elected, he will be gone in four years, guaranteed. Just because our worst leader ever is in the White House, doesn't mean our country has collapsed. I think democracy is still an ideal, even if a few men currently in power have forgotten what it means.
And to say China is free of war crimes is absolutely uninformed. This is a country that executes political prisoners and then sells their organs on the open market. I think they will move beyond this type of behavior as they become more linked into the global community, but they have a lot of blood on their hands.
How many visitors go to Linux Today would be swayed by an anti-Linux Microsoft ad? Probably somewhere around zero. So let them support Linux Today and we can all snicker at the irony.
It's funny that you say that less demand means higher prices in a free market, because that is probably true only in software. Basic microeconomic theory says that prices go up as demand goes up, but in software it's exactly the opposite because all the cost is in development, not manufacturing.
The courts have been pretty good in our history at stopping really bad laws, and the Supreme Court tends to be unpredictable for presidents (most of Nixon's appointees turned out to be liberal).
Yeah, and they really don't know shit about mainstream U.S. society, either. They think bad Hollywood movies are a clear representation of everday American life. Mainstream American society is a lot like life in most other contries, abeit with somewhat worse taste.
It is not always wrong to kill. Death and killing is always the worst thing possible, but killing is not always wrong. For instance, The World and especially Europe should have intervened in Yugoslavia as soon as it was clear civilians were being executed en masse and starvations was occuring in camps. They did nothing until the US took the lead, and even the US was far too late. I don't think the approach of the current American administration is correct in many areas (especially the military tribunals for trying suspected terrorists) and I will probably vote against Bush. However, I do think that overall the US has been a force for good in the world. By the way, look up what the estimated cost in lives an American invasion of mainland Japan would have been, plus the unavoidable Soviet invasion? Don't even try to make the US out to be an evil force in WWII. Sorry for the rant, but as an American I'm tired of listening to this bullshit directed against Americans personally.
For the court to release SCO's source code into the public realm would be absurd. Now we all know it's not their code, but this hasn't been proven in court yet. What if Microsoft stole your code and you had to publicize it in order to prove your point? I think IBM will be able to pull the resources together to refute SCO's claims.

Prediction: Apple licenses Motorola technology to produce an iPod mini/cell phone. Jobs has been talking about this kind of convergence for years.
Wow, you really need to get off the computer and hit the books. Unless you're, like, 12. Then it's ok.
Now when a show has delivered a particularly banal line, I can get in there and fix it.

Good! It would be important to add that as a footnote on your site where you mention the 16k row limit.
That's hilarious you wrote that right after my comment. They have a 16k row limit, a la Excel '95. Give me Gnumeric any day over that.
16k row limit? Useless for me.
It's called fair use in the US, and it's perfectly legal. We don't pay a TV tax, either ;)
That could be fucked, too, since the Gozilla (tm) trademark owners are poised to sue as soon as they see any money in doing so.

Dude, Apple had text to speech in the OS in System 1 in 1984. I personally remember playing with it in 1985.
As if Apple's obscene prices for RAM weren't enough to make one avoid changing the base configuration.
Here's a map to Darl's house. DOS his driveway.

Jesus, the yabbos are even trying to blame Fosters on us!
I've been looking for a link to video of Jobs' unveiling of the Macintosh at the 1984 annual company meeting. Any one know where to find it?

Nope, the rockets slowed the descent to zero vertical velocity and let the rover drop from about four stories.
Seventy three means he was a young man in the 50s and 60s. Not exactly the age of innocence.
You're right, the code is public already, and they could just black out any proprietary additions. Good point.
