Give me a break. The few times you NY guys have quakes, the network news anchors are all over it like the end of the world. I've seen them do that for a 3.3. A BLOODY 3.3 fer G-d's sake! Out here, for a 3.3, we say, "OK, who farted?"

I don't know about the OP, but my kids are in LAUSD. Thanks to the oh-so-brilliant superintendent, they're gonna blow another $100Million or so on the Belmont Fiasco.
I don't think anyone's actually suggesting that MS sell this.
What it's about is that MS has continually claimed that IE (and WMP, now) are inextricably part of the OS, and that there's no way to remove them, hence the lack of illegal tying under the old consent decree.
There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit.
Had a Maxtor D540X drop dead on me. Did the advance RMA (they send me a disk, I give them a CC as collateral). Showed up, no muss, no fuss, I swapped it.
About 3 months later, the drive drops dead again. I call up tech support this time, because I want to talk to a human. The guy says the diagnostic code says "replace drive". I mention that it's already been replaced once. He asks if I want a new build instead of a refurb. I say hell yeah. Same deal. No muss, no fuss. So far, so good on the new drive.
I'm not sure what the best music for putting me into the Zone for coding is, but when I have to crank out documentation, nothing works better than ZZ Top!

What do you care, unless you're an Evil Hacking Terrorist Content Pirate(tm).
Only Evil Content Pirates want the DMCA overturned. Stinking Terrorist.

IIRC, Philips calls it a "Silver Disk With Music On It." Should we call them SDWMOI?
And someone's probably already made it, but...
Gives new meaning to the "Blue Screen of Death"
and to "System Crash".

There *ISN'T* any money.

This guy is here to rebut that contention.
Hell, the super bowl commercials are awesome!
Actually, this year, the game was good and the commercials sucked.
Seriously. Should we care, other than the fact that it gives the MPAA that much more money in their warchest to buy away our rights?
I just wish we had ONE prosecutor with the guts to file a RICO suit against the xxAA. Or file barratry charges, or something!
Not till 2006. :-(
I've got Mrs. Senator Disney (Feinstein)... I want this guy!
Well, if you want the prizes, then it matters!
I'm trying to get the combination decoder-ring and whistle, but so far, all I've gotten is junky trading cards.
The best stuff comes out of Argon atoms, by the way.
AGFA's lawyers aren't cops, they're private entities (a law firm) working for a private entity (AGFA).
Actually, for a while, the Marines had a custom version of Doom for training purposes!
Maxtor's no quibble RMAs.

Look! It's sunny out! It's warm outside!
Not in L.A. I was coaching my daughter's softball game (at 1PM PDT), and it was COLD!
Thank you. Whenever I try to make that point, nobody ever listens!
The Ninth Amendment has to be the most underrated and most ignored by Congress (though the 10th comes close) Amendment that there is.
Laymans Terms:
Ninth Amendment: "We listed some rights explicitly. Even if we forgot to talk about the others, you've still got them."
Tenth Amendment: "If we didn't say the Feds could do something, then they can't. The States and the People can."
So fax the mofos!
I voted for Campbell. Unfortunately, I don't believe Feinstein is up again till either 2004 or 2006. Anyone know for sure?
Campbell looked to be the best bet to unseat Feinstein. Especially compared to who they ran against her the time before... Herschenson... Feh!
Finally, music is everything.
I'm not sure what the best music for putting me into the Zone for coding is, but when I have to crank out documentation, nothing works better than ZZ Top!
Companies are taxpayers just like you are.
Not Microsoft. They haven't paid taxes in a long time.
Of course Gates knows BSD. Where do you think he got the NT TCP/IP stack from?
