this sounds familiar. m$ likes to take a standard and butcher it with [proprietary] "extensions" that only work in windows.
those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. anyone who uses microsofts "sparkle" is screwing themselves
so basically cisco is doing in routers today what microsoft should have done in the os 10 years ago. how many billions of dollars do viruses cost every year?
dude if you have a girl and she is under 20 years old and she has a webcam she will take topless pictures of herself guaranteed. peer pressure is a bitch. my advice: take the fucking computer out of their room. and if you insist on putting it in her room at least take away the digicam/webcam.
When TV first came out, everyone was predicting the death of radio. It hasn't happened, and it won't happen. It will become a little less important though.
I have been saying this for about three years now. Well, ever since the opensource mozilla project started, however long that is. Mozilla should be a household name by now, but it's not. Maybe they would have more than 2% market share today and AOL wouln't have practically dumped them if they had focused on PR more. Better late than never, I guess.
I'm running XP Pro with 256MB ram and athlon xp 1600+ and it ran perfectly for me. I also have 2 desktops running at the same time (fast user switching). mozilla firebird, explorer, opera, acdsee, aim running also with no problems.
I have tried itunes for windows and its fucking great, and I dont even own an iPod yet.
The problem with apple is that they only use software to sell hardware. iTunes is designed to get people to buy an iPod. IT SHOULD BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND! The real profit is in selling software. Just look at Microsoft and Oracle profits compared to Dell profits if you dont think so.
If apple ported OSX and its other software to the PC microsoft would be screwed. I don't understand why apple trys to make money off hardware. They could make so much more if they ported all their software to intel/AMD. They could still sell hardware, but their main focus should be software.
I'm not saying they should completely get out of the hardware business. I would never say that. apple hardware is so 1337.
Men earn more than women for the same jobs. A lot more. Whether it physician or waiter or nurse, men almost always get paid more. This is a fact. You can check it out at the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
BTW, tall people earning more is OFN.
Part of the duty of citizenship is not to be intimidated into conformity. I wish that the oath of citizenship taken by recent immigrants, and the pledge that students routinely ricite, included something like "I promise to question everthing my leaders tell me. I promise to use my critical faculties. I promise to develop my independence of thought. I promise to educate myself so I can make my own judgements."
I also wish that the Pledge of Allegiance were directed at the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as it is when the President takes his oath of office, rather than to the flag and the nation.
FYI, the original pledge did not include "under god"
from CNN:
1954
Worried that orations used by "godless communists" sound similar to the Pledge of Allegiance, religious leaders lobby lawmakers to insert the words "under God" into the pledge. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, fearing an atomic war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, joins the chorus to put God into the pledge. Congress does what he asks, and the revised pledge reads: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
this is typical opportunism. the same way people took advantage of the september 11, 2001 attacks to get the Patriot Act passed.
When I was a kid, I recited the pledge just like everyone else in my school every morning. I memorized it. I had no idea what it meant. Talk about brainwashing. They never once told me that I didn't have to do it if I didn't want to. We never once discussed what the pledge meant. Why do we make kids do this? Whats the point? Shouldn't we wait until they are old enough to decide for themselves before we have them make pledges?
By the way, as far as I know, America is the only country whose citzens pledge allegience to a FLAG.
speak for yourself. i never use the crap. what i dont get is why that guy "depends" on IE when he has a site devoted to unpatched IE vulnerabilities. wtf
how can schools allow them into classrooms? are they paying the schools off or what? the way i see it, time is money, and every minute they waste on this crap they are not learning something else that is much more important
Neil Postman wrote an classic book called Teaching as a Subversive Activity. Everyone should read this.
Parents should be more involved in their kids' education. You should at least have an idea of what your kids' school is teaching them. Meet their teachers, and if they are teaching your kids something you don't approve of, you have every right to complain. Do not trust the school system.
Common sense can cloud statistical results. For instance, a technology firm discovered that 40% of all sick days were taken on a Friday or a Monday. They immediately clamped down on sick leave before they realised their mistake. Forty per cent represents two days out of a five day working week and therefore is a normal spread, rather than a reflection of swathes of feckless opportunists trying to extend their weekends.
if 90% of servers are linux servers, then it makes sense that 90% of attacks should be against linux servers, right? im pretty sure linux is more than 67% of servers right now, so 67% is actually very low!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only a judge can issue a subpoena. So saying "IBM issues subpoena" would be pretty stupid.
I still can't believe M$ was allowed to buy Connectix

Don't forget the ewok adventures cartoons from the 80's. I lived for saturday morning cartoons back then.

anyone know why the FCC would support something so stupid? what do they get out of it?
statistics can be very misleading. for example:
Common sense can cloud statistical results. For instance, a technology firm discovered that 40% of all sick days were taken on a Friday or a Monday. They immediately clamped down on sick leave before they realised their mistake. Forty per cent represents two days out of a five day working week and therefore is a normal spread, rather than a reflection of swathes of feckless opportunists trying to extend their weekends.
