Trask? Is that like that thing that resembles the other thing that is spelled similar to trash but isn't? I thought so. I have one of those in my basement.

Here is some more stuff to overcome slashdot's "yelling" lameness filter. Sure, it's like I am actually yelling.... some more junk... and here it goes... so how's the weather today? If you are seriously reading this, please just stop now. I told you to stop... You are still reading this aren't you.... ok... I give up!
If you go and set macro security to low, I was able to play it in Office 2003 (beta). It is actually a really nice duplication of the actual game, complete with sound effects. The hard part is finding the.zip archive on the site that has some sort of language that I have never heard of before on it before (must be Spanish). Just make sure to revert those settings back, or else there's going to be a "Slashdot Macro" virus. Oh! And that gives me and idea...
Does this mean that the wording on money is unconstitutional as well? So, if this case does ban the phrase "under God", why don't we see what happens if we burn all money that says it too?
Sun to Introduce New Pricing Strategy for Its Software By LAURIE J. FLYNN
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15 -- Sun Microsystems, a supplier of network computers, will announce on Tuesday a new approach to selling its products and software. The company, whose network computers are based on proprietary technology, has been losing business in recent years to servers based on lower-priced personal computers.
Its executives hope that the new strategy -- substantially reducing the price of Sun's network software for many customers while simplifying the way it is purchased -- will help the company regain its diminishing market position.
The program is also central to Sun's effort to portray itself as a supplier of integrated software and computers that are more efficient for corporate users.
"We are a systems company, not a hardware company," said John Loiacono, vice president for operating platforms at Sun, of Santa Clara, Calif. "We're trying to build the best cars, not the best tires."
The company's new pricing model for its systems will be based on a company's employee count, as declared in a company's annual filings with government regulators. Sun will charge $100 an employee for a single package that includes an application server, a Web portal and security software, among other components -- all of which Sun executives say will work together in a more integrated fashion than they did previously.
The company's executives said their streamlined pricing could offer significant savings for large companies that in the past paid more under traditional pricing schemes.
Mr. Loiacono said Sun would continue to sell individual pieces of the server package, but that most companies would reap big savings from what he called the "happy meal" approach.
Sun's pricing strategy moves away from the common industry method that typically considers complex factors like the number of network processors, a network's storage capacity and even the size of a company's customer base. Those many variables can make it hard for any corporation to predict what its software licensing fee will be in a given quarter, Mr. Loiacono said. Sun's all-in-one pricing, he noted, gives corporate customers more predictability.
"What Sun is doing is being very open about what its pricing is, and that is very revolutionary in the high-end enterprise market," said Shawn Willett, principal analyst at Current Analysis, a technology market research company based in Sterling, Va. Mr. Willett said that quite often software pricing is the subject of negotiations conducted in secret. Sun, he said, is hoping that "putting everything together in a stack for one price will make more companies buy all of it."
As part of the business software package, Sun is also announcing new desktop software that allows employees to connect to the company's servers. The price for that software will be $50 a employee, provided the corporate purchaser is running the software on Sun's Java Enterprise Server system. Companies that want to run Sun's desktop software on a different server system will be charged $100 an employee, the company said.
Also central to Sun's repositioning strategy is a new version of its StarOffice software suite that features an easy-to-use interface resembling that of Microsoft Office, but unlike the Microsoft product, can run on many operating systems. The Sun software, which runs on Linux and Windows as well as Sun's Solaris, will allow word processing, spreadsheet and graphics programs to work more efficiently together, said Curtis Sasaki, Sun's vice president for desktop engineering software.
The idea is to make it easier for customers to switch from the Microsoft software to Sun's products. "We're trying to make it easy for enterprise customers to move without relearning much," he said.
You gotta love those nice fancy foreign CDs. You know, I "collect" CDs too, I have all different types: 1x, 4x, CD-RW 2x, 48x, and surprisingly, 16x.
Do you have those fancy ones that don't have data written on them?
Just make sure you don't accidentally buy those foreign CDs that die in less than a year... those aren't even worth the tax exemption! Oops... did I say that aloud?
As WhoseLine would say: We'll give you 30 songs on *50* CDs -- 20 are free, you can burn your own!
It seems as if Canada has become the land of the free, while the United States has become seemingly less thrilling to live in. I, for one, would be glad to be able to make legal copies of music and other goods, and only having to pay a small tax on media and (possibly) computer products. This would make it much easier to pay the RIAA and similar evil organizations, and would keep P2P infurioratingly legal.
I have a feeling that emigration to Canada will become increasingly more common if it gets to the point where if you have a file on your computer that may have possibly originated from a P2P network or other illegal source, you could pay hefty fines and jail terms. Will Canada border-hopping now include underage drinking and underage stealing? You decide. So, now if you want to escape the U.S. Justice system... you know where to go. No more 3rd-world country that nobody has every heard of (Hurray!)
The only problem with this method is that companies cannot track who owes them how much, and which companies get the bigger share of the chunk of taxes. Why not have it so that, people report how many songs they downloaded and what they are, and that determines their tax (or refund, if they haven't downloaded anything). Then, the companies can easily divvy out the money to one another (but some companies will like the equal-split method better * wink wink *)

Hey! Now I feel offended. Are you saying that a poorly trained monkey is more skilled than me?

I dunno ... I think you were. Then what explains why you have you pants pulled up so high?

Trask? Is that like that thing that resembles the other thing that is spelled similar to trash but isn't? I thought so. I have one of those in my basement.

I got $25 in ones, all sequential. It looks just like I made them myself. It is pretty difficult to not get 'em mixed up with those ones ...
Err .... now.
Don't forget about the letter "A".
