"Air America Radio obtained a temporary restraining order
Thursday to force a broadcast group to return its programming
to the airwaves in Chicago.
The 2-week old network, which is promoting itself a liberal
alternative to conservative talk radio, had its programming
pulled Wednesday by MultiCultural Radio Broadcasting Inc.
MultiCultural owns WNTD in Chicago and KBLA in Los
Angeles. The restraining order doesn't apply to KBLA.
MultiCultural owner Arthur Liu was quoted on the Chicago
Tribune Web site Wednesday afternoon saying Air America
bounced a check and owes his company more than $1 million.""
"The Air America network is still on the air in New York,
Portland, Ore., and a different station in Los Angeles.
It's also on XM radio and is being live-streamed... "
And the Pay-ForPlay business model is any better ?

Let's see if the government doesn't end up suing them right back where it hurts.
Watch and see whether they purchased short-term positions in Intel and Nvidia, right before announcing they would put the highest margin products from these two companies into their it-really-isn't-vaporware product...
We payed less then and its worth less now, as is to be expected with x86 hardware.
Non-gaming consumers who don't use their PC to produce income have a hard time justifying much more than $50 per month over the lifetime of their machine.
My neighbors and family can barely be kept functional and up-to-date for that $600/yr. The only way to back into this budget with a Mac has been to redefine "functional and up-to-date" while extending the original purchase price out to four or five years...
Assembly has little to nothing to do with either programming or computer science anymore. Computer science (IMHO) deals with the study of software engineering and algorithms
If it truly is a science, then someone who finishes a Bachelors and Masters program in Computer Science had better be capable of contributing to the advancement of this field.
This could be through the development of new languages, in which case I hope they know a thing or two about assembly in the first place.
Otherwise, a couple of Computer Science degrees would simply mean someone is a techno-wonk, a professional student, or just a technician rather than a professional engineer/scientist.

they are clearly cyber squatting. When you pick a domain that is one character off from the official site, and your site mimics design, then there is a problem.
Although IANAL and this will depend on Canadian law,
common sense U.S. copyright law makes you dead wrong.
Any protection afforded is for the consumer, not owner.
Looking at both sites there is NO confusion - just satire.
The thing that's true now is that the Mac systems are competitive. The good thing is the Mac's numbers are no longer embarrasingly crappy, as they were in the latter G4 days.
Why does it always take a G(x+1) in order to finally get people to honestly assess the G(x) ?

Or maybe Longhorn is so bloated, it needs it's own CPU just to sustain the operating system, and another processor to run programs.
In the end it is still all about sales. People are expected these days to purchase
after 48 months, when speeds triple, or the apps demand it.
Go forward 18 months to forecast, then subtract 48 months to look at your
prospective customer (ie., see what was bought 2 1/2 years ago now)

As far as the hardware debate, yes, Macs are more expensive.
As far as the software debate, yes, Macs are more expensive.
