Support? If I buy a machine with windows oem edition, I can't get support from MS. If I call dell/hp/whatever you get a idiot on the phone that suggest to re-install the OS to fix the problems.
Please tell me where is that so called support you asked about? Even in our company we found some bugs in MS Office, do we get support for that? No, we reported it and it will probably be fixed in the next version.
It doesn't matter what OS you are running, support is always provided by the geek next door. And not MS/Apple/Dell. Heck, if you have a problem I think you get faster and better support on a linux forum then calling a hot line.
I'm not sure what to think of that screenshot. A "System Stability Chart", instead of waisting development time on that couldn't they make it more stable?
Yes.
If you buy the DVD version you will get all the textures, bender modules, etc used for this movie.
You can copy it, modify it and release it, as long as you provide credit where credit is due.
Easy. Don't have a shortcut to terminal in your KDE/GNOME menu. Even if there is a shortcut and they would start the console by accident. They would only click on it with the mouse, see that nothing happens and close it again. CLI WTF, GUI FTW!
Here's a really simple thing Lotus Notes could do to make their product a lot better: Prompt users when closing if they have more than one tab open!
This option is now available in version 7.
Including autosave of e-mails you are writing and saving the windows you have open when you close notes, so that when starting notes again, all these windows open automagicly. No autosave was a big disappointment for me in version 6.
So after years of "Get your unlimited broadband internet" they now realize that maybe there is a limit and want to charge Google. That is fine if Google is your customer, if not you can't charge them. Another option is to charge your customers (the people at home) for the usage of google.com. You could even provide them with a detailed bill.
200mb google video 30$ 50mb youtube.com 5$ 500mb pornlegends.com 50$
Or wait a second didn't we have the pay per bit 10 years ago and everybody switched to "All ways on internet" packages, promoted by the same bastards that now think that they are losing revenue?

WHQL has nothing to do with the new certified drivers in Vista. The only thing that signing these drivers does is to tell you "Yes, this driver was made by company X and is trusted by MS". Company X can opt to do WHQL, but is not required to do this.
And WHQL, although a good idea, doesn't work that great either. It only has to follow a few rules. But those drivers can still fuck up your OS.
There are plenty of things that you are not allowed to do with your computer by the law. You are not allowed to crack into other computers (either with intent to steal or for learning something new.) You are not allowed to say, download child-porn, etc. We know that people cannot be trusted. If people could be trusted, DRM wouldn't have appeared, because then noone would infringe on copyrights, noone would set viruses free into the wild, noone would steal money from the banks etc.
But we have laws for that. There is no need to enforce it via a system that can't tell right from wrong.
There are e-books of works that are in the public domain, great that means I can make a copy and do with it what ever I want. However the DRM in the e-book prevent me from that.
I make a nice holiday/home movie and want to add a little soundtrack to spice it up. This movie is for personal/familie use. Can I rip a song from a CD with DRM? No! Am I allowed to do this? Yes!
You see the hardware/software don't know what my intent is and can't make a descision if what I want to do is legal or illegal.
And that is the problem with these systems, they don't allow a certain action although it might be perfectly legal.
From that article, quote from Ed Whitacre (AT&T CEO)
"I think the content providers should be paying for the use of the network - obviously not the piece from the customer to the network, which has already been paid for by the customer in Internet access fees - but for accessing the so-called Internet cloud."
Step 1. Hack adserv (or other big ad company) Step 2. Replace image with wmf infected file Step 3. Sit back Step 4. ???? Step 5. Profit
+ we all go on how stupid users are because the open that "This is a virus e-mail" and you think they wouldn't fall for a "Wendy send you a greeting card, click here to view"
Worst thing is that this is not a single worm/trojan/virus but it can contain anything they want. Rootkit, SMTP server, Key logger. Before you know if the internet contains only zombie machines and linux/macs.
And that is different to the US? Russia -- where most press and all TV-stations are state-controlled. US -- TV controlled by a few media bigshots and all saying exactly what Mr President wants you to hear.
Russia -- where courts are in the President's pocket. US -- Doesn't the president appoints the judges? I wonder if you need to fuck him in the ass or just pay a lot of money.
Russia -- which uses air-bombers and heavy artillery against the very people, it claims are its citizens (although they disagree). US -- Spends miljoens on a war where all that money could have gone to education, healthcare. How many people died of terrorist attacks, and how many people died because of not having the money to pay the hospital bill?
Russia -- where regional governors are appointed by the President. US -- no idea how this works in the US
Russia -- where the Communist Party is among the strongest. US -- Where you have 2 parties and both are a bunch of lying fuckers only out to do what is best for them and their friends.
And beeing black in the US doesn't make you a target? Or people that have this middle east look? You might not get searched in the subway everytime, but they certainly have a hard time with all these rules.
Face it, the world is fucked. Every country has a corrupted covernment one way or the other. They don't care about you only themselfs. Maybe 1 thing is better in Sweden, but it will have another law to limit you. They want power, control and this new law is only the beginning.
It would be great to give the power to the people. Have a group of specialist on every subject make a suggestion/law and let everybody vote for it. In this modern age that must be possible.

Where can I find sheet music?
We do not sell sheet music at this time. You may want to do a search on the Internet for other sites that can help you.
One thing I know, I'm not buying any more CD's/DVD's off these bastards.

Shut up you idiot!
Did you check the TLD in the URL? http://gadgets.fosfor.se/
SE = Sweden.
You would wish that your Swedish is as good as their English.
PS. Future spelling Nazies, I'm Dutch.
Is the H.R. 4586 The Family Movie Act for real?
I mean, are they going to make it illegal to skip ads?
Public Knowledge.org, it is a fun site right? It is just something like The Onion, yes? Please?

Why does he need to come with a list of "experts", he didn't make a claim that what you said is right or wrong. You reasoning is wrong nothing else.
It is good to see that all that bribe money of RIAA/MPAA is put to good use.
Mozilla Firefox just sounds better with a fake french accent than Internet Explorer does.
Now that one is so much better then the standard french joke around here, and nice placed in context.
