So? Nothing new there. In Finland taxi drivers have to pay to the local music industry organisation if they have their radio on when carrying passangers. Never mind that the radio station has already paid to the same organisation.
A valid point, but I'm inclined not to trust Microsoft when they claim non-awareness of public exploits. I would imagine they do not look for them very vicariously...
..just how long these security holes have existed? It's a nifty trick to publish security holes only after patching them. Makes you look good, except in the eyes of those whose PC has already been "pwned" because of said holes...
Search operation at sea. A couple of platoons of these could cover countless square kilometers in a hurry. You'd only need the spotters to monitor the video feed for any found subjects. Half the manpower as you'd skip the need for pilots.
Judging by what I read from the blog and the comments, the Liberal Party in Canada and the Conservative Party in the US have relatively same operating principles with one marked difference: The Canadian party is in serious danger of losing its power and having to face charges for its crimes. The US party has no such worries.

I seem to recall some insignificant little hiccup right after installing SP2 but after that, no probs.
AMD Athlon 2400+/384MB/ATI Radeon 7000, later 9250 on an agy Soltek SL75-KAV. Even with psychological effect allowed for, I seemed to notice a slight increase in performance as well.
Financial suicide? Then what else is it to stay with Microsoft products and face ever increasing license costs, countless hours of downtime because of Windows' unreliability, virus epidemic after virus epidemic shutting down whole offices? Its a question of paying through the nose once, or every year for the rest of your life.
'"We are sending a clear message that downloading or 'sharing' music from a peer-to-peer network without authorization is illegal, it can have consequences and it _undermines the creative future of music itself_," RIAA president Cary Sherman said.'
(underscore mine)
Since when RIAA member record companies have produced anything creative? All they churn out is plastic garbage such as guitar bands, boy bands, rap or urban music that makes you fall asleep after first 20 seconds. But since they can dictate what radio stations and tv-stations play, they can make sure their waste sells. They have been screwing musicians for decades and now they try to screw the general public. I'm not surprised that people are not having any of that!
The problem with Cheating Death is that every time Valve updates Steam, Cheating Death has a stroke and we have to wait for the next update. Other than that it's good(tm).
Counter-Strike does not have any time sensitive features (far as I know), but there's a map called X-mas Dust floating around in the web (someone, please, give the credit where it's due, I don't know the origin of this map). It is the standard Dust map, but there are snowmen, xmas presents and santas scattered about in the map. Also, there are xmas lights that lit up when a character passes them.
Let's start taking bets on how long it will take before Shrub orders Blair to stop the project and make sure British NHS stays with Windows? I'm bettin g a month, tops.
The hypocrisy of North Americans never ceases to amaze me. It's quite allright to label every Arab in the planet a hardcore terrorist, but if someone lets out a game where there are North American white terrorists, an outrcy is instant. I thought Jamaican limbo dancers had gone as low as man can go. Sadly, I was very wrong...
Finland has always had capped ADSL. We do have excruciatingly high prices, but we pay for what we get. Only recently has the minimum speed risen up to 512kbps up and down for virtually every provider. I have that option, but for shelling out a bit more cash each month, I'd get 1 Mbps/512kbps. Or for more money, more bandwidth.
Another instance of someone just having to snipe at a person in high position just because the said person lacks a Y chromosome. And yes, I've got one.
...and now the winners will loot the country for everything it's got. First a UK firm steals the domain. Next will be US oil companies snatching the oil fields. Iraqi people will never see more than 1 cent for ever dollar earned from selling Iraqi oil. Before the war Iraqis were poor, sick, hungry and oppressed. After the war they are poor, sick and hungry.
The idiocy of USA never ceased to amaze me. The government says that having more condoms increases the amount of teenagers having sex. And nobody in there sees the contradiction that the statement includes, given that USA has the greatest per capita rate of teen pregnancies in the world. They should be pushing for more condom use.

This is another case of the standard US operating principle: Lie, cheat, steal. When someone blows the whistle, sue them.

Thanks for the info!
Just what the hay is a lame-duck session? And since when winged creatures are allowed in the Congress?

"He seems to do Litigation, Employment law, construction, and personal injury. Not really specilized it seems."
Specialized enough. For my unsophisticated foreign eye this reads like the specialization list of "Dowe, Screwem and Howe, attorneys at law".

..namely what is the connection, if any, between Cringely and Microsoft and Cringely and SCO?
I am sooooo paranoid.....
