Yeah, I like that. Let's spawn a division of/. called bashdot (b.) where the daily M$ flaws can be posted. That will free up a LOT of/. real estate for important matters like SCO scoops..
I refer to the glass covered holes in my home as "viewing portals" so that no one will ever make the mistake of thinking they heard me say "I have windows in my house"...
I am absolute ruler of the known and unknown universe. Bow before me and worship me for I own all that exists.
I just patented the "patent application process". I also just patented "patents". I patented "Intellectual Property" also. and I claim all prior art and all IP.
Everything that is, ever was and ever will be is mine.
If they wouldn't make such shitty movies and gouge people in the ass so hard at the theatre they wouldn't be in such a mess.
I've seen dozens of theatres in this area close up forever over the years.
Last time I went to a movie (about 8 years ago) I took the wife and kids and it was over $30 for 4 tickets and snacks. $3 for a 20oz soda back then when a soda in the store was 49cents.
We just quit going and waited for stuff to come out at the rental store on tape. Now I don't even watch movies anymore, the "actors" all suck.
They can't act and the plot is crap. That's why they blast you with loud ass music and shit blowing up and SFX from hell. To distract you from the fact that the movie just flat sucks.
I tried to watch LOTR on satellite and I could NOT understand what they were saying, the vocals were too low. When I turned it up to hear what they were saying some loud ass music would blast me even deafer than I am now and I had to turn it back down again. Up and down, up and down.
I finally went and watched it in the bedroom on a 13in TV that has CC and THEN I could at last understand what was going on.
LAY OFF THE LOUD SHIT!!
I have taken to watching movies from the 30's now. They HAD to be good actors, they had no special effects or grand musical score to distract you. They just acted and they had to convince you or the movie was a bomb. It was do or die then. Watch an old movie sometime and see what I mean..
Yes, if they weren't so greedy and would get some real actors and real story writers they might end up doing something good..
what do all the immigrants propose to do? Live on welfare? And where will the welfare funds come from? You have to tax working people to have the money to give it away to someone else.
The government never gave away something that it didn't take from someone else.
When this is a total service society, and Pedro and Umbakki are coming here to mop floors and flip burgers, who will they be doing it for?
Someone has to have a job to have money to employ these people. This whole system is broken. The enconomy of the US and the rest of the world is going to collapse. We are the backbone that supports the world and the weight of the world is about to break that backbone..
1929 will look like a cakewalk when it goes down again..
In the future, everything from automobiles to home appliances will be connected to the Internet, Mr. Lightman said, "and we're going to need something like 100 IP addresses for each human being."
1. Bullshit. 2. Why?
I'll never, ever have need of 100 IP addresses. One is all I need. My router handles all my computer needs.
I don't need nor do I want a toaster or refrigerator or a toilet with an IP address. My car doesn't need one (it's 28 years old anyway) and my cell phone doesn't need one. And when my son moves off to college next month I'm disconnecting my home phone and will only use my cell phone. Assigning IP addresses to household appliances is STUPID. Can you say ABUSE??
Can you say PRIVACY?? I have about 7 or 8, maybe a few more PC's here at home but those are the ONLY modern things I use. Everything else I own and use is OLD/LOW tech and *I* retain total control over everything in my home.
Maybe professor Warwick is masturbating to the idea of a connected world but a lot of us are not..

From BYTE.COM newsletter:
________ 1. Special Feature: SCO Owns Your Computer ________
Fittingly, it was Friday the 13th. A sunny San Francisco morning. But my discussion with Chris Sontag, SCO's Senior Vice President, Operating Systems Division, was driving the sunshine from our room, creating an atmosphere appropriate for the 13th. Let me summarize in a parable...
In the beginning was AT&T Bell Labs, staffed by a benevolent team of PhDs and research scientists. AT&T produced this really neat operating system--System V--which computer manufacturers wanted to license and use. Everybody was happy to sign tough contracts with these benevolent scientists--licenses which deeded all derivative works back to AT&T, licenses that covered all "methods" and "concepts" of operating systems. But now those licenses are owned by SCO and its team of lawyers who are certain that AIX and all the other IXs belong to SCO. And the company now wants royalties from users of all these operating systems--especially Linux.
Specifically, Sontag believes the "SCO technologies" which were misappropriated into AIX, IRIX, and the derivative UNIX-alikes (including Linux) are:
"But what about BSD?" I asked. Sontag responded that there "could be issues with the [BSD] settlement agreement," adding that Berkeley may not have lived up to all of its commitments under the settlement.
"So you want royalties from FreeBSD as well?" I asked. Sontag responded that "there may or may not be issues. We believe that UNIX System V provided the basic building blocks for all subsequent computer operating systems, and that they all tend to be derived from UNIX System V (and therefore are claimed as SCO's intellectual property)."
"So is anybody clean? What about Apple and Microsoft?" I wondered. "Sun is clean," he said--but he gave no answer in regards to Apple and Microsoft.
"But I thought that Microsoft had signed a license agreement?" "No," Sontag said. Microsoft merely licensed an "applications interface layer."

So??
These are FIXED..
You point it moot..
I've told you and told you, windows is, aw hell, you know the routine..
When I was a kid I used crayola's and contruction paper in 1st grade. Then they gave us fat pencils and 1" ruled paper.
The next year we got regular #2 pencils and regular paper.
A few years later we got to use ball point pens.
Then came Windows and we used that for a few years.
Now I'm all grown up and I use Linux.
$9 freaking bucks?!!
Are you shitting me?!!
Damn, I haven't been to a movie in years, but that's freaking insane! No way in hell would I ever pay that much to watch a movie.
At that price I would be tempted to download a movie, if I were into modern movies. Which I am not..
Damn, that's nuts!
