Sure, subverting NY Times registration is a small protest, but as Churchill once said, it is the sort of thing up with which I will not put.
Or lie to them and mess up their demographics.
Tell them you're the exact opposite of what you are... Tell them you're an unemployed janitor making 20 million a year. Tell them you're from Afghanistan. (I'd love to see what the marketers do with the unemployed millionaire Afghani janitor).
Really. So I'm Joe Ordinary User, and I heard from my MSCE cousin that XP is the world's greatest thing. Today being payday, I cashed my paycheck this morning, and knowing I was going to buy XP, I held out the $200 for WinXP Professional Upgrade. So I pay cash.
Where have I signed any acceptance of an EULA? I'm Joe Sixpack, not a geek, why would i know about the EULA and rejection mechanism prior to handing over the consideration?
Besides, the odds are you'll get a refurb. Maxtor did that with me. I had a D540X drop dead on me. They shipped me a new one, under their "no quibble" policy (no problems there). It died three months later. I called back to bitch, and they asked "do you want us to spec a new build instead of a refurb this time?" My answer was HELL YES!
As long as they turn Krypton into Planet Malibu where everybody uses anti-grav surfboards as personal transportation devices, then he won't have to give up his accent and he might be able to concentrate on acting.
I was going to use the money I got from Nigera to pay for the next season of Farscape, and with the leftovers, buy a Segway to carry my Xbox (which would be running SUSE 8.0)!
I did that 3 feet onto concrete. It fell off of a cart. Luckily, the monitor still worked, but we swapped it with a lab monitor, since it was off a desktop.
If you decide to carry out a terrorist attack against the American people(or the people of any country), as he did -- you become an illegal combatant, a person who has no legal rights or claim to citizenship
Gee, even McVeigh got his rights respected. And he was definitely a terrorist.
But thats where the easy to install Linux distros come in... right????
Mandrake.

But the point is that they already have an OS. Why would they bother installing anything else? BTW, have you ever tried to install Win9x, Win2K, or WinXP from scratch?
I once heard the three polarizer experiment described as follows.
You have a field with cows. To make sure that now cows get out, you put up two fences. They stay in their field. But you're really paranoid, so you put a third fence in between the two. Now, all of a sudden, one fourth of your cows are wandering in your neighbor's field.

Can we get the courts to declare Jack Valenti to be unconstitutional?
Just a thought, how about the ex post facto clause. Couldn't retroactive copyright be seen as a violation of ex post facto?
Mind you, it's probably easier for US doctors to transfer their quals than most European countries.
Just how does a European country transfer its qualifications as a medical doctor to New Zealand, anyway?
But "Person" has "son" in it.
Therefore it should be GNU/Peroffspringaquaticavian/Linux

Well, they think I'm a 60 year old woman from Afghanistan who is a CEO of a media firm making less than $20000 per year.
We search for things to make us go.

I guess real men just don't like wearing tights
Well if wearing tights is the problem, what about Cary Elwes?

Let's cast Keanu as the Silver Surfer!!!
Yep. Keaton had the "just-this-side-of-psycho" thing. It's the eyes.

Looks like he forgot to fake the signature. Doesn't *look* like he signed it James T. Kirk!
Two motherboards fried too all because I installed a heatsink with no thermal compound
A buddy did that with a P4. We still rag him about it.

I'm just glad my fiends didn't climb the tower
I'm sure Satan is too... He hates to lose fiends in electrical storms!

Plus in the paranoid post-9/11 US, you can get in trouble for carrying your kit on a plane. (Hasn't happened to me yet, but did to a friend).
On top of that, if I get this, I don't have that stupid Sharps container lying around, that I have to dispose of as hazmat waste!
It was up to $8000US as of now (7998, actually).
Hey--I own a '91 Tercel, and last I checked it's worth a bit over $2,000. Loses about $100 a month, though
So, in just under 2 years, you'll pay me a couple of hundred bucks to take it away from you?

Sorry, it's already been done :-), by Microsoft, of course.
And how much of the /.'ers righteous indignation will remain when the PS3 comes out? I'll tell you...
Sony is evil.... OOOH PS3!! SHINY!!!! MUST BUY!!!!
