when the state starts using the police as revenue collectors, they are no better then gangsters. tax's are THE only place a government is supposed to make money. buying a device especially to entrap people into paying fines is no better then hitting them for "protection" money. If any hunter had the money to challenge this i'm sure a good lawyer would win it for them.
exactly right. business needs to stay well out of health care, because it's the ultimate conflict of interest. and don't think for a second that drug companys wouldn't opt for an expensive treatment rather then a once off cure.
err seriously your embarressing yourself here. smtp is not a file transder protocol. there's a hugh difference between to 2 on a techincal level. try to send a 100 meg file as an attachment then do the same using ftp and see which gets there sooner. the main problem is that email gets retransmitted atleast 3 times to get to it's destination. if people had any brains they would provide a LINK to the data they want you to download.
"If you want my service, move to a place where I offer it, or use someone else's service. Simple as that." - no you fucking idiot, no one is forcing the cable companys to install cable at a loss. the cable companys don't like the terms of a cable franchise in some towns so they've begged/bribed the fcc into changing to law to suit them. i say agin so your thick head gets it - they aren't forced to do anything - THEY are the ones persueing the business.
no one is forcing them to sell there. what this means is communities don't have to right to demand equal service to all it's citizens in exchange for a cable franchise.i say again, no one is forcing them to sell anything at a loss. they could just not take the deal offered.
what you will see come out of this, the poor getting poorer, and the rich getting richer. which never ends well for society, be it technical or financal matters.
no, he is correct. what you plebs fail to understand is most HD's lie about their transfer speeds. they use a cache to get a BURST speed of 60mbs, but that quickly falls away to less them 25. yes that's right, BURST SPEED. obviously burst speed does not apply to steaming things which are a sustainted hd write/read. and before some little smartass pops up and says oh yes but scsi.. NO. most people don't have fucking scsi's.
not a good idea. a year from now how will you know it was you that edited it? unless it tags your changes in a way YOU can't change it'd turn into a mess.
the answer is simple, don't give in to their demands. just becareful there isn't a sneaky co worker who will back stab you on it though. it helps if you have an IT manager with a spine who can stand up for his staff, that but's rare.
where to begin.... try googling for new zealands age of consent laws and their "public decency" laws and you will begin to get the picture, NZ airlines won't let single men sit beside children etc. as another example, NZ police aren't allowed to carry guns. now do you understand my comment that's like australia run by women.
NZ is what australia would be if the country was run by women. over protective and petty. they sport some of the most rediculous laws in existence AND they enforce them.
my guess, is they will pass this law.
what you are proposing is impossible and will result in subpar office suites which is eactly what FOSS does *not* need.
you can interoperate with other people who use word just fine by exporting to PDF for those with older word versions and to opendoc for people in the future. the REAL problem isn't word it's fucking excel, which really needs to be banned from business computers since it's responible for giving middle managment tards the idea that they can program. same deal with access.
the moment someone comes up with a entirely web based office suite they you can pay a low monthly subscription to use, and that works really well, you will see office begin to lose it's domination. so much time and effort does into fixing and supporting office it's unbelieveable.
this constant pandering to MS has to stop if we are to ever get anywhere with open spec office documents.
i don't see why people are so obessed about being compatable with office documents. the whole point is to force office out, adding compatablity only give it greater leverage to change their formats and screw you over.
far better to create a suite that uses open format documents in xml. while you continue to pander to the make everything compatable with MS products crowd, you will not win.
... insert into mydate values('99/99/9999') fails with an error stating it's invalid. at the moment, it allows that shit as a valid date. mysql is NOT a good db.
the developers did all the fucking work thats what. all machiest did was put up a webpage and drum up a little PR. nothing all that time consuming or expensive, and yet they are sent to profit 4 to 1 on the sales. it's the usual, the dev's do all the time and the slime balls in sales make all the money off their hard work.
what a fucking crock of shit. someone stealing a womens underwear off the line is a LONG jump to being a pedo. what possible connection can there be between a weirdo taking an adult womens underwear and them being sexually attracted to children? thats right there isn't. it's same bogus thinking that links homosexuals to pedo. and that crap has been debunked for decades.
oh and as for your "it's about protection" argument, yeah they will take your liberty all the while softly whisphering in your ear "it's for your protection"
you have your religous freedom. your free to believe in any god you want. so stay the fuck away from science. they 2 aren't the same thing. creationism is not science, it's a belief, end of story. i think the core of this problem, is nutcases like this guy are deathly afraid of anything that proves their beliefs wrong.

in the same vein as MS, they have nothing of substance to show so they must resort to mud slinging and to jargon to make up for it.
in the same manner that i would spit at a crazy person waving a sign as i drive past them, yes.
seriously, who really cares or uses this?
when the state starts using the police as revenue collectors, they are no better then gangsters. tax's are THE only place a government is supposed to make money. buying a device especially to entrap people into paying fines is no better then hitting them for "protection" money.

following the law just because it's the law, is the worst kind of retardation.
because god forbid we might think for ourselfs, or act up.
exactly right. business needs to stay well out of health care, because it's the ultimate conflict of interest. and don't think for a second that drug companys wouldn't opt for an expensive treatment rather then a once off cure.
you are all slowly degrading our world, if you find that's a problem i suggest you cut your wrists now you emo.

in a word, NO. JS is slow, cumbersome and i can't stand it.
