Meanwhile, SCO has also requested that the court subpoena all conversations between IBM executives and the tooth fairy, citing the potential for disclosure and dissemination of Unix source code through pillow-related transactions.
I'd think that they'd be more concerned about blanket statements.

I think this is where I insert the comment about life immitating bbspot or somesuch?
I can't remember where I saw the link for this originally, but here it is.
We could probably assume that downloaded shows would be both of a lower quality and have advertising built in. Paying a quarter might be a bit of wishful thinking, so let's rephrase the sentiment, shall we? Why can't I download an episode for $1? Or $2? For some shows that might never make it to DVD, this might be a great way to see past episodes (the only example coming to mind would be cooking shows), and the networks can add a bit to their ledgers in both advertising and download fees, and, as another poster said in a different comment, this would allow them to both target their advertising more effectively and also track viewership.
I mean, people pay for porn online, but you can still get DVDs of that too, so what's the diff?
From the article: More recently, special printers that print directly onto a disc's label side have come onto the market, but the process isn't very user-friendly.
My Epson Stylus R300 can print directly onto printable CDs. The process isn't that hard. You have to feed a special tray into the front, but that's about it. You have to use Epson's special software, but you also have to use special software for these doodads. Yeah, you have to buy special media, but I'm guessing the price is about the same as for the LightScribe discs.
And the Epson does pretty darn good color and has software for the Mac. (At the time of this writing, Mac support for LightScribe was only available as an SDK for integration into other applications.)
So would it be okay for me to walk down the street and hotwire one of those car share cars -- or a car sitting on the lot at the rental place -- that are parked on the road because I didn't think I should have to pay? This basically amounts to theft.
Computer technology can help support learning, and that is especially useful in developing the higher-order skills of critical thinking, analysis, and scientific inquiry.
Don't forget that having a computer can help your kid with any sort of computer science courses. It seems as if whenever things like this come out, they forget the group of kids, however small, that look at the computer with wonder as something that can be "taken apart" and explored. Yeah, if you let your kids sit on the web and IM their friends while downloading all the crap they can off of kazaa for 7 hours every day, nothing's going to get done. And what about those houses with a TV in every room where the kids are glued to the set? Or remember how video games used to be (still are?) the big evil against homework? What about rock and roll music in the 50s? I think I need to clarify that I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm merely extending your argument.
1: Apple does not, and will not manufacture or design CPUs.
I might be horribly wrong, but doesn't Apple have a hand in the design of the PPC with manufacturing done by Motorola and IBM? If that's not the way it is now, but I'm pretty sure that's how it worked with the first few generations (pre-G3) of PPC chips.
According to the article on Fulks, linked from the story here, his case actually went to trial and his guilt was decided by a jury. From the way I read it, it seems as if he only pleaded guilty to carjacking and kidnapping -- neither of which (to the best of my knowledge) is a capital offense. I don't know if the article is written poorly or if it just neglected to say that he was being tried on murder charges, but that's the way I read it.
If the construction costs are marginally higher than standard, it should be possible for the governemt to step in with incentives and pick up the tab of the difference.
"Should" is the keyword in that sentence. As sad as it is, I really don't see the government, at least not with current policy/spending/etc., creating any sort of incentive here. I mean, if you could theoretically be able to have a power bill of $0, that's not exactly energy(company) friendly.
But this money isn't from Bill Gates himself -- it's from the Bill and Melinda Foundation. While I'm sure that Billy there gives them quite a chunk of coin every so often, that money is often invested and allowed to expand. I guess the true question would be how much money does the foundation have?
I think that the foundation has done a lot of things that are absolutely great (I'm told my local YWCA wrote a letter asking for assistance in building a new wing and remodelling and received a very sizeable check very shortly afterwards, very few questions asked) and I don't know why anybody would grouse about genuine philanthropy. It's very hard to say that he set up the foundation to create some sort of tax loophole given the fact that he has told the press (right about the time of Bush's tax cuts...) that he thinks the rich should pay _more_ in taxes (too lazy to look up a link -- do it yourself). The man literally has so much money that he doesn't know what to do with it. I'd rather that it comes out in the form of donations than being holed up in some bank account somewhere.
And plus, if this were a marketing ploy, why not just have Microsoft donate the money?
The article also mentions how well Gmail is able to filter spam messages.
<tongue-in-cheek>
I don't know. I haven't noticed any spam -- not even a single piece, to be exact -- going to my gmail account.
I'm making it my new experiment. I figure if I don't give my address to anybody, including school, online stuff, etc., but only give it to friends and people I know from face-to-face world, I shouldn't be getting any spam. This is only theory, of course, becuase eventually, somehow, the spammers always get my email addresses. So my experiment is to see just how long it takes them, and then I can question my friends -- and my enemies -- and see who gave my email on something that wound me up on a mailing list.
If you want to contact me and discuss my theory, you can reach me at m0gart3304haha@gmail.com.

Now, to be fair, there are many very interesting record companies that specialize in vinyl.
Yeah, and isn't it a bit ironic that all the vinyl records I buy are pressed and shipped from the UK?

And I wonder what percentage of employees they've tracked going into the bathroom or a broom closet together. Bow chica bow bow!
Whoops. :p
Yeah, but would it understand if you wanted a lager or a pilsner?
