That's the best you can do? Routine slander? Come on Shel, we're in public. Your reputation is on the line...get on with it. I can take it.
I'll even give you a choice of languages to pick from, including English, you can take a shot at me in Japanese, Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese. I've also been insulted in French, Spanish and Latin, so if you feel more comfortable in one of those, knock yourself out. Sign language? Barcodes? Raw Postscript? COBOL? Any of those work for you? I want you to have the best opportunity, because I want to hear something new. No tired rednecking and no sexual labels...those are too easy and you won't get points for something so simple. Take your time, this is fun.
Remember, I'm doing this for you, since keeping all that anger inside isn't good for anyone, and my karma can only go up by letting you vent, so get busy. I'm here for you, and we all feel your pain.
Try repeating that to a record company exec, and then slap a mo-ron sticker on him. It's flattering to me...since no one named Sheldon has ever paid me so much attention, thanks.
And if they sold them for less, you'd buy more...and since they won't do that, the market will swing and they'll have to find another flock of sheep to shear. Funny how capitalism works. Like I said, stealing from whom?
...and don't be so fast to call me friend. Try buying me candy and saying how nice I look in these pants first, ok?
So the fact that I buy directly from artists off the internet isn't putting my money where my mouth is?
I worked for the largest music retailer in America, and walked away on my morals. Mine, not yours or anyone else's. They are the real pirates.
The fact that the record industry told us CD's would mean lower prices than what we were once paying for LP's has proven to be untrue. Artists make less than 5% off each CD retail. The record companies steal from us and the artists and it's ok....we steal from them and it's actionable? Sounds like a double standard to me, and I see no reason to feel sorry for anyone that can't see it.
I've know for a long time that the music industry is stealing from me....funny, tho, I don't think the cops would be amused if I called and reported that kind of theft...perhaps if I told them you suggested I make the call, they might listen?
? I think we're on the same side....that quote came off of their site, and it shows how one of their so called experts thinks the law could be used or abused. Yet, we see headlines about them raiding ISPs for christ sake. I think they are abusing their position...just like you seem to think... OK? Friends on this one?

Of course stealing is illegal. Did you stop to think who is stealing from whom?
I said 'down the road', not 'approaching fast'.
When these corporations get used to having the police act every time they claim loses, especially when they are as subjective as the numbers the music industry is throwing around today, what's to stop them from pulling the trigger to get the cops to act on something like market control, in the future. What's to stop this kind of activity if Coke Cola decides I've managed to replicate their secret recipe at home? If it's good enough for the scum record industry, it's good enough for the rest of corporate America, etc.
Think about it...please don't knee jerk react with an obvious 'legal this and legal that' comment, thanks.

You only get 2 real spams per day per 10 mails? I have three accounts, and my numbers are the opposite from yours, and I think I', closer to the norm. I simply cannot recall a time when a legitimate mail was flagged as spam by my filters (PS X Mail for the last 1.5 yrs.)

Try this story on how MS talks about MS, in terms of history...and note how the 'investment' you so dearly love to believe in, is somehow missing...gee...me wonders why?...not...
Don't forget....MS has a long history of buying up companies like this, and then taking said company's software off the market. MS rarely leaves these core apps intact. They either let them stagnate, or bury them. MS doesn't buy them because they want to see them grow. Beats having to build something to compete...just buy the rights and staff and let them sit on the shelf.
I was there & drafted some of the documents...your sources are colored by the big lies that Redmund buys.
You are correct about private documents, however. Too bad you choose to believe an MS spun press release over sealed court documents...too bad MS pumps out their spin, but since no one can stop it, dupes such as yourself consider it gospel. Apple kept silent...MS, as is their practice, went on a propoganda blitz to paint themselves as heros....investors...rather than admit they had to pay Apple to avoid punishment.
How many more examples would you like to try and dispute? How about the time in 1993 when MS claimed to have the world's largest networked group of employees? Seems their 2k workstation net was dwarfed by such other common entities as GE, which had over 5k service techs on one worldwide network to support their Medical Systems Division alone.
You've been drinking the MS kool-aid, and most likely work for one of their marketing agencies as well. Dream on, sucker.
For those that may mistakenly believe this tidbit of twisted history, the fact is MS was forced to pay Apple for copyright violations to settle a lawsuit. MS did not invest in Apple. Nice troll, otherwise, except it's a cut/paste from an older one.

Markets may be able to provide more efficient solutions than state interventions.

I agree with the part about IP cases being new ground, perhaps.
I wonder if the Swiss banks convicted of holding stolen Nazi monies would work as a precedent....
Otherwise, the flaw is in your interpretation of my analogies, not the analogies themselves, since I left them open for just that.

Man, no wonder malpractice is out of hand.

Earlier this fall, 68-year-old Madeleine Schaal volunteered to make medical history by allowing Jacques Marescaux and Michel Gagner to remove her gall bladder. What's so unusual about that? Only that she lay on an operating table in her hometown of Strasbourg, France, while the two doctors performing the surgery were in New York.
More like he'd been slammed for malpractice at some point in the past, and they wouldn't let him in the country...he had to dail ld
Don't worry about it happening on a regular basis tho...by the time tele-surgery gains momentum, it will be fully robotic and 99% non-invasive.
Try this story on how MS talks about MS, in terms of history...and note how the 'investment' you so dearly love to believe in, is somehow missing...gee...me wonders why? ...not...
None, those are totally irrelevant to this topic.

secured a US$150-million investment from MS...
For those that may mistakenly believe this tidbit of twisted history, the fact is MS was forced to pay Apple for copyright violations to settle a lawsuit. MS did not invest in Apple. Nice troll, otherwise, except it's a cut/paste from an older one.
Remember, the Internet interprets these kinds of hurdles (blocks/gates/filters etc.) as defects, and routes around them. Always has.....always will.
