I don't know if this sounds stupid to you guys, but it's an easy alternative where you'll probably never get caught.
At the public library (at least the one in my area) they do have a section for people to rent CDs and DVD videos. I just bring my iBook and have a few CDs ripping while I'm reading their magazines.
I guess there's a sortage of teeny pop songs there, but they have a wide variety of classics and old rock.
Staying away IE for me is harder than it seems for the following reasons:
1) What happens if your company's web portal uses Active X controls, such as Citrix Metaframe server. This is almost a standard for remote access for large enterprises.
2) Majority of plug-ins are designed for IE
3) There exists many internet sites that are broken. This is because people have designed their sites to render on IE, so people write broken code to run on a broken browser.
4) I don't have admin or power user privillages on computers I use at work, and it is easier for me to use IE than go through a whole chain of people to get another browser installed.
I'm merely saying my opinion, that Verisign site finder is a blessing to many people like myself. There is no need to try to make it seem like I know nothing about alternative browsers. I use alternative browsers at home, but occasionally I'm forced to use IE and in all it's buggyness and annoyances, and site finder makes it better.
1) Considering like a huge majority of sites designers never bother debugging their sites for any other browser, the messed up way IE interprets many sites is the way the designers intended them to be viewed. Considering that IE or browsers that disguise themselves as IE has more than 90% of the browser traffic, so to most debugging their site on other browsers seems pointless.
2) At work I'm stuck with whatever is installed on my work station. Not everyone works somewhere they get to install whatever software they want on your workstations.
The cool thing about site finder was it kept the URL you typed in the URL bar when you use Microsoft Internet explorer.
When I typed in a bad domain name, Microsoft would redirect and change the URL to msn.com, which annoys me since the spelling mistake was pretty minor, only 1 or 2 letters needed to be corrected instead of retyping the entire URL back into the address bar.
Of course this is really a browser problem, and it's Microsoft's fault.
I didn't realize those toys were that creepy. They look like little gnomes ready to bite your toes off when you're not looking. With those beady little eyes of theirs.. You just can't be sure what they're up to.
I think open sourcing it is ok, but they should do all the work on it internally and not let any 3rd party distribute their own Java.
When you have a cross platform interpreter, you need to make sure there is consistency. For example, Microsoft JVM ruined it for alot of people since developers will forget to debug it on Suns JVM, causing huge incompatibility issues that they blamed on Sun.
"CRN: On the face of it, one could conclude that interest in Linux is the market's way of telling Microsoft that Windows pricing needs to change. What message do you think the market is trying to send? "
Hmm... I think the market is saying, take advantage of your monopoly while you still can. Bundle it with every computer and charge a shit load while MS still can.
You know how those pigeons get scared during a time of calamity. Especially those white ones. You gotta make sure you have some backup pigeons too, in case one accidentally uses Yahoo Maps instead. Then there's the pigeons that can't tell left from right...
This is all cool and all, but will this mean people may start writing sloppier code which will become something to bite as in the ass later in the future?
For example, let's say people wrote insecure x86 code, then someone decides to port the code to another platform. There'll be software vulnerabilities that will be around because of the flawed code in the first place.
What I want to say is free anoynomous speech has it's draw backs. We have liable and slander law suits for a reason. We have regulations that prevent companies from running false claims about their products.
I personally feel people need to take responsibility for what the publish. It influnces a lot of people.
Our kinds will be teenage sluts, working for pyramid groups, worshiping some pagan god, while indulging in transgender, transpecies, disgusting courtship rituals that involves ritualistic sacrifices of viginity, then eBaying their souls to the lowest bidder, which of course is horrible since it strays from our capitalistic ways and eventually turn us all into slutty transgendered pagan communists.
Anyways.. in our society where we expect the world to educate our kids, we're not ready to move away from censorship.
Under assets, there should be some component called "Goodwill" for acquiring Next, which apple will use to write depreciation expenses from their taxes.
Sometimes, in a low interest rate environment like today, a company not taking on any new debt can be viewed as not being able to identify new opportunities.
Paying off debt is something a lot of mature companies do. For example, large tobacco companies are having a harder time expanding, so they focus all their cash flows into paying dividends and paying off debt.
It should have just refinanced it debt at the lower interest rates then just used all it's free cash to expand operations, and also invest in some solid dividend paying stocks to provide a scource of income incase things don't work out.
By paying off the debt, it has reduced the amount of free cash, and when it need to take out lone to expand operations in the future, it will be at a much higher interest rate.
Don't you just love our capitalist world. The poor whine and complain to the goverment for them to provide services that they fail to provide for themselves. Then the rich gets taxed. Then the goverment then finds a way to spend more money than it has, and has an excuse to tax the poor and middle class as well.
Now with a recession, a tax break on dividends and capital gains are given to "stimulate economic growth". So now the rich can just transfer their entire income into dividends and capital gains and say, "Ha ha, the middle class are such suckers."
When I get to the top, I'll probably do the same and start the whole cycle of abuse again. =)
I've used the Acer one. It's pretty nice, built in ethernet, wireless, and pretty easy to use, but I don't feel it's practical.
I used one for software compatibility testing (it basically is as compatible as an XP laptop would be), but I did find myself using it in laptop mode most of the time though. Passwords and login information are really hard to enter in in tablet mode. Since the pen input usually assumes you're typing in words, it'll tend to add extra spaces when writing login information and passwords. As for other types of writing, it's easier just to type in keyboard mode.
I've only found it useful in Tablet mode for tapping out check lists. Maybe someday I'll find a better use for it.

Well.. yeah, but having Kazaa isn't a crime.
However, if they are sharing songs and encouranging others to download it, would that be entrapment?
And by inducing mass fear and continueing the momentum and scaring others to settle out of court, would that essentially be blackmail?

Man..
I didn't realize those toys were that creepy. They look like little gnomes ready to bite your toes off when you're not looking. With those beady little eyes of theirs.. You just can't be sure what they're up to.
That's pretty much what happened to Netscape.. They decided to open source it as a last ditch effort.

A Station would imply it's STATIONary.
Why don't we called it a PlayMobile.

Geez..
Can't have people going around with Unix machines without knowing how to mount their drives.

Oh... we don't need to balance the book.
A missing $3k doesn't hurt anyone.
That is exactly the way I feel with all the online brainbech certifications I have.
I exaggerate things for comic relief.

Without censorship,
Our kinds will be teenage sluts, working for pyramid groups, worshiping some pagan god, while indulging in transgender, transpecies, disgusting courtship rituals that involves ritualistic sacrifices of viginity, then eBaying their souls to the lowest bidder, which of course is horrible since it strays from our capitalistic ways and eventually turn us all into slutty transgendered pagan communists.

At least it's not the KKK news letter.

Agreed,
Sometimes, in a low interest rate environment like today, a company not taking on any new debt can be viewed as not being able to identify new opportunities.
Paying off debt is something a lot of mature companies do. For example, large tobacco companies are having a harder time expanding, so they focus all their cash flows into paying dividends and paying off debt.
If interest rates now are as low as ever,
It should have just refinanced it debt at the lower interest rates then just used all it's free cash to expand operations, and also invest in some solid dividend paying stocks to provide a scource of income incase things don't work out.
By paying off the debt, it has reduced the amount of free cash, and when it need to take out lone to expand operations in the future, it will be at a much higher interest rate.

No wonder his salary is only $1 dollar.
And I thought they out sourced the CEO position.
