is that Amazon.com is opposing the bill. It's great to see that Amazon.com is continuing their stellar practice of vigilantly opposing intellectual property abuse.
Wow, what a great idea. I'm sure that in addition to not having to spend your hard-earned cash on thermal paste, you must be saving yourself lots of money on many other items, for example, wood glue and mayonaise.
I understand how it is that many/.ers are confused by the use of capitals in the last paragraph. In the public interest, I am providing a variation of the letter that should be easier for all of you to read.
I am requesting a meeting so that we may discuss the alternatives that are available to your firm.

Here is one of many counterexamples to your SCO and Microsoft, et al own the media: Boise joins SCO Shakedown. Is "shakedown" a word you would expect to find in an article bought and paid for from Forbes, a business news organization. I've read many media accounts of this; they do not just parrot lies for SCO.
We have a great ally in IBM. Even if they are only our ally by neccessity, fine. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least for now.
Many organizations have strong lobbies in Congress. However, it is unfortunate that this will probably not come to affect the way most of us will vote. There are too many other issues.
I'm going to post this rant again next time something dumb like this comes up early in the discussion. We have not lost the battle before it began. SCO's lawyer is clearly nowhere near perfect and IBM has an army of lawyers and a big stake in this.
The QA guy who had to play test the game "Castlevania 2: The Accursed Seal." I believe that the translation process over at Konami went something like this.
Alright everyone, we've got a smash hit on our hands here. We've got to release an English translation to rake in the dough in the western hemisphere; what would be our most cost effective solution? Hey, didn't Mr. Ishikawa take a semester of English during his senior year at the university? Oh, yeah, let's have him do the translation!
Set up a new address and use it as your account name on eBay. Then, do some activity on eBay, and you should get plenty of spam. Especially if you actually sell something.
When I attended college, I once got an e-mail which appeared to have a virus attachment with a text attachment expaining that the message contained a virus that the system had removed.
Could be interesting when you pass that 'massage parlour' you never knew was there
Just what I'd expect from a typical/.er. You will find it in your local yellow pages under "Escort." To quote The Simpsons, "Where do I want to be escorted to? Um, how about orgasm-land?"
Let me know if I can help you out with my patents on any of the following:
dangling pointers infinite loops blue screens of death digital restrictions management systems pressing three keys at once to reboot fear, uncertainty, and doubt campaigns four byte integer over/underflows weak encryption systems using CD-ROM discs to spread a plauge of crap over the entire planet, and now probably on to Mars. ( Does the Mars lander use Windows at all? )
I'm going to beam goatse to the house next door where that guy won't stop playing rap all night long at volume levels normally reserved for movie theatre sound commercials.
Look no further. I don't claim to be an expert on this, but my understanding is that they use a process called triangulation. The process is simple. They collect data from three different near-by cell phone towers. The data from the three towers is then compared to determine your location.
I'd be sure to remove the battery if a I didn't want to be tracked. I wouldn't trust the on/off switch for one second. Personally, if I was going to a tin-foil hat clan meeting, I would leave the phone at home. I'd be paranoid that even with the battery removed, there might still be some tracking mechanism. I think that the recent story about the FBI being ordered by a court not to use a certain method of monitoring computers in cars because they interfered with the use of the machines by the users just goes to show how the FBI has an attitude that it is their absolute right to snoop on anything and everything and use anything possible for surveilance.

Also, as I continue my rant, let me link this jerk who we not long ago considered to be a puppet for some organization interested in limiting our freedom to do what we want with our computers.

Does perl allow you to write your entire program on one line like c++ does?

Okay, I admit I'd probably like it a lot better if I had more of it!

I guess it's not exactly a dupe, but pretty close.
dangling pointers
infinite loops
blue screens of death
digital restrictions management systems
pressing three keys at once to reboot
fear, uncertainty, and doubt campaigns
four byte integer over/underflows
weak encryption systems
using CD-ROM discs to spread a plauge of crap over the entire planet, and now probably on to Mars. ( Does the Mars lander use Windows at all? )

I thought you meant cleaning all the bathrooms with your tounge. I think using a toothbrush might still be superior
