It does occasionally contribute to the common good, but because that contribution is itself an inefficiency in the system, there is a very strong incentive for all companies to reduce the amount of public good they do in order to cut costs and maximize profits.
Every voluntary transaction introduces new wealth into an economy. It actually creates wealth.
I do agree with your point about companies being directly altruistic, though, which is either misguided or the result of an ulterior motive.
Did you try installing the latest storage driver? You need to slipstream it into the install disc, ideally even removing the entries for the originally-included version from the inf file that loads drivers during windows install. This is the most likely culprit. Which host adapter chip/version is in the system in question?
Wow, that so won't work for Grandma. How much longer until Windows is ready for the desktop???
Because we're talking about the home/enthusiast market, which is completely different (including and especially in price point) from the enterprise storage market.
Agreed, except for the part about the spam folder. My contention is that delivering mail to a spam folder is a silent fail. I prefer to reject with 5xx anything that would go in a spam folder. Then, as you point out, the sending server will notify the sender (if one exists).
I honestly don't understand the benefit of the spam folder. Silent failures are BAD. Servers should either accept and deliver a message, or reject it. That way, when a legitimate message gets flagged as spam, SOMEBODY knows about it!
Ah, right. That's why the warmers told us that the 2005 hurricane season was the tip of the iceberg, and that it would get worse and worse since then. I'm not sure there's been one major storm make landfall since then.
The best way to avoid suffering global upheaval is to quit worrying about "global warming" entirely, and vote down measures that are sold on the basis of "fixing" it, especially global taxes, carbon taxes, etc.
I'd rather have my ISP not be in the business of picking through my traffic and deciding what's "good" and what's "evil". Who I talk to over my connection is my business.
The occasional reboot, under controlled circumstances, is an excellent test of what will happen in an emergency situation. Mainly, it answers the question of whether the server and required services actually will all come back up by themselves.
I'm assuming that you're advocating stricter rules on campaigning, more restrictions on speech and donating, etc.
That's going after the symptom, not the cause. The cause is that government has too much power. As we descend into banana-republicanism, everybody with any interests has to play this defensive game. Because at any moment, they could find themselves a political target.
Restrict government to its constitutional duties, and suddenly these corporations have no reason to care what's going on in DC.

Very handy.
What does that mean?
Erm... I think that would be the article he didn't read.

"I agreed to do so, contributing my services at no charge, for the good of the Open Source community."

Oh yes, I forgot about Ike. He's really Canadian you know.

A DoS, generally, is anything that prevents a computer (or I suppose anything) from performing its functions. It's anything that "denies" "service".
That's not Picasso, it's Kandinsky!
You're thinking of Blaise Pascal.
Citing a reason to create a federal government does not grant powers to that government.
What part of "Preamble" do you not understand?

I'll stick with a doctor who isn't an agent of the government, thanks.
You realize his 101-year-old mother is still around and apparently doing quite well?

If you use <quote> instead of italics, then the /. blurb will skip the quoted part and go straight for your new content.

A lot of the stuff in Looney Tunes / Merry Melodies comes from Benny. And he's the master of timing. It's brilliant.
How do we correct this error?
