consider the 1960 generation, which was about peace, love, freedom of expression and action.
what a load. take it from one who was there - the 60's were about getting stoned and fucking and keeping your ass out of the war and doing whatever the hell you felt like. In 40 years the media still hasn't figured that out.
These are now the people who run corporations which make war, promote conformation, and generally go against everything their generation stood for 30 years ago...
...randomly changes three numbers in every fifth file. Or perhaps it finds your Word documents and randomly removes the words "do not" from a few places. Or maybe it flips a few bits in your swap file, or munges your C++ compiler...

media manipulation, throwing a crumb to the mob, doing the Orwell Boogie - it'll be back "in a form users can live with". M$ never backs off, they just take a stealthier approach, another route, as always they will prominently claim to be doing X while all the time they continue to do Y. M$ represents the filthy underside of internet tech. Having ruined the text based e-mail standard via executable documents and htmlmail, it now moves on - rewriting the content of others on the fly without permission or discussion.
Anyways, if I'm on a site and there's a big ass word I don't know, it could be cool to click and be taken to dictionary.com, or encarta, or britannica, or where-ever.
if you believe that, then here's the KY, slather up. a more likely scenario is, you'll be taken to the signup page of a microsoft subscription spellcheck site if you lack a passport account. and if you have a passport account, automatic consent will be enabled by default and you won't even have to sign up. the monthly fees will just begin to appear on your credit card invoice. <sarcasm>hey, it's only what people want.</sarcasm>
after your earlier successes ('father knows best', 'marcus welby, md') do you find red hat is a big enough challenge to keep your emotive skills honed?
Major League Baseball is spying on us all via satellites in space. Bart Simpson proved this on national television not long ago when he OD'd on his meds, commandeered a national guard tank and shot one out of the sky. How can you all be so out of touch?????!!!!

I steal trucks made by Ford. I have no qualms about it.
OK. Lets explore this analogy a minute. You wouldn't, for one second, entertain the notion that although you paid for the steel and labor, you don't own the truck - Ford does. Likewise the notion that you ought to pay Ford a fee for each use of the truck. "But", you say, "I just have to move it across the street. Odd-even parking is in effect from November-March, you know." Tough shit. How about this one - (for Millenium Edition haters) no matter how often you reprogram the autotune.bat and config.sound buttons on your Ford's radio, everytime you start the truck the buttons revert to Ford's default presets. Stations which just happen to be owned by a Ford broadcasting subsidiary.
A grant of access (easement) to enter upon or conduct an activity upon a piece of real estate obviously requires a description of said real estate ("the east 150 feet of lot 24 farquar's plat" or "the west 1/2 of the east 30 acres of the NW 1/4 SE 1/4 of section 26, Burfle Township"). A mailing address is NOT legally sufficient to describe a parcel of land. Lacking a description, an easement or access grant is basically meaningless. "Access to your property..." is non-specific. When they show up at your door waving the agreement, tell them it pertains not to your residence, but instead to some public property like the post office, city/town hall, or the courthouse. As a taxpaying citizen, those are also "your" properties. Lacking a description, it is impossible to state exactly which of "your" properties the agreement affects. In fact, it could pertain to any piece of "personal" (as opposed to real estate) property. So, offer to let them sit on your couch, then throw them out.
Unless, of course, NSI goes out of business and takes their database with them.... but then again, if that happens, I guess we're all screwed.
huh? you're only screwed if you keep your domain at NSI. There's a bazillion registrars nowadays. pretty much all of them provide better service and less restrictive terms than NSI, and dotster, for instance only charges $15 per year.
since my company hired a group of para-orals, the coders never leave their desks. now, when the employees gather round the water cooler and talk about how this place sucks, they are all smiling.
