USPTO granted countless stupid patents to large corporations, individuals, and everything/one in between.
The younger crowd bitches the most, yet they have the lowest percentage of votes. Seniors, who happens to have the largest percentage of voters, don't give a rat's ass about patents. They care about Social Security and Medicare. Why do you think that they are the buzz words most often mentioned in politics?
I did some volunteer work for a representitive in the past and representitives actually send a good deal of their and their staffs' time for resolving voter issues because ultimately, it's the voters who elect them, not corporations.
Why I see it, the biggest enemy to democracy/republic are ignorants like you who say people's votes don't matter, not the large corporations.
While what you are saying is a possibility, this still does not show a direct link from GWB to possible banning of Moore's films. In fact, his latest film has a big hit at NYC, so I don't think that you should worry about people not being able to see it.
That's like saying that I support MS because one of the mutual funds that I'm holding has a small percentage stock in MS. If Bush becomes the CEO and declears that non of the theaters owned may play Moore's films, that would be a different story.
I'm pretty sure that anyone who can afford to my theater chains are rich. In fact, why are U.S. media reporting daily deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq when it makes Bush look bad?
But they do gain the right to post bills all over your house if they ask you and you said yes. Granted, those spyware companies do it in a very deceiving way, but the users need to learn to read the fine print. Maybe this will convince the end users to start reading the license agreements, including MS EULA.
Last time I checked, there's plenty of anti-Bush websites out there. In fact, why doesn't Bush and his friends just outlaw Michael Moore's movies if the Bill of Rights only applies to "corporate conglomorates and their friends"?
Then why in the hell did the law makers in Utah write the anti-spyware law in the first place? I guess when IBM wins its case against SCO, you'll state that it's because IBM can spend more money on political parties than SCO can.
The sad part is that I knew a "sys admim/tech support" guy who was so incompetent, he would've flunked A+ certification test. I taked to a project manager about this and he told me that he had a minor in CS and they couldn't find anyone else better (it was during the boom).
In this aspect certifications, or even college degrees show at least some sort of minimal book knowledge (providing that the person did not cheat) even though it does not say anything about the competentice of the person.
Some job posts actually require certain certification, and for does, you should get certified. Otherwise, I don't think that it's worth it unless you are into taking tests to measure your book knowledge.
Do anyone here know when the support for Broadcom wireless chipsets will be included in the Linux kernel? It seems that many (at least Linksys) are moving away from Prism chipset (which I had good luck with Linux) to Broadcom chipset.
My theory is that many gurus who likes to pick on newbies are just like school bullies; they don't have much else going for them. For example:
1. He wouldn't dare say "RTFM" to his boss when the boss asks him why his "cup holder" that came with his PC isn't opening. He's busy kissing his bosses ass no matter how moronic the questions are because he knows that he can easier replaced by another sys admin with better manners.
2. He wonders why he's always broke while using the credit cards to buy the latest and fastest computers. Why play UT at 100fps when you can play at 120fps? He can also use that fact to prove that how much he is superior to the stupid newbies with slower computers.
3. His sex life is down the toilet because only way that a guy and get away with being an ass to a girl is if he's either; good looking, famous, and/or filthy rich.
Which means that in order to make himself feel better, he bands together with other losers like him and pick on newbies to prove themselves how mighty they are (unless the newbie happends to be their boss, which means that they will revert to ass kissing as described in reason #1.
Here's what I'd do. Get a shotgun, take that OpenBSD box to a field and pepper it. On the way home, buy a cheap residential firewall/router device. Dump the remains of the OpenBSD box in front of his door and tell him that the cheap firewall/router device is perfectly good enough to replace his OpenBSD box and is also much easier to configure. Seeing him blowing a gasket will make it all worth it.
BTW, RTFM of the shutgun so you don't end up shooting your foot off.
Seriously, many people don't RTFM because it's boring to them, just like most geeks not reading change of terms notices of credit cards and end up charging their new phat gamining system on a credit card with the new 21.99% APR.
Perhapes Linus should've made Linux closed source because maybe as far as he's concerned, everyone should be able to write their own kernel. BTW, Linux's not UNIX.

I believe that would be "Social Security Number Sharp".
How can you blindly say the parent poster is wrong when you argument is base on one theory (yes theory, not a law) out of many?
We should try the same scheme, but tell them to make the check payable to Darl McBride or Bill Gates.
I suppose daily reporting of people getting killed in Iraq is a radical Pro-Bush bias.
What do you expect from people who'd rather learn about the political process from a movie rather than doing their own research.

If the city passes an ordinance against the billobards in response and a judge grants you a stay, it's not quite illegal (at least for now), isn't it?
I really don't buy the fist amendment issue either, but the end user really need to read the fine print before download crap.

He (Hatch) just wants to project his wonderful songs from being pirated by Slashdotters.
At least the contractors get hella more pay than the grunt.
By same argument, college degress are worthless and everyone who's attending one should drop out.

They need to create something for MS to buy as MS just can't pump money into SCO without attracting unwanted attention.
One more thing. As far as I know, there's no free solution for getting Broacom chipset based wireless NIC to work on a Linux box.
Do anyone here know when the support for Broadcom wireless chipsets will be included in the Linux kernel? It seems that many (at least Linksys) are moving away from Prism chipset (which I had good luck with Linux) to Broadcom chipset.
Linux trolls got it all wrong. Windows don't suck, it blows.

Why would you put the java executable go under /etc?

Wow, you'll make a great tech support staff.
Seriously, many people don't RTFM because it's boring to them, just like most geeks not reading change of terms notices of credit cards and end up charging their new phat gamining system on a credit card with the new 21.99% APR.
