I guess you never looked at your watch up side down in the middle of the night and think "Shit it is 8:30 in the morning" when in fact it is 3 in the morning.
I could also argue that Cola-cola is not American, because it is, and I quote "Prepared and canned by Coca-cola Amatil (Aust.) Pty Ltd 71 Ma... Street Sydney NSW 2000"
If you buy a can from Melbourne, where do you think that would be prepared and bottled? (Hint: it is Melbourne)
You would find that the company that owns the TM for a beverage will give authority to a local bottler or brewer (sp?) to produce a local product that follows manufacturing guide lines and stick the label on it.
Even more off topic: Coke in America contains corn syrup and I think that it tastes like shit, but in Australia it is full of good healthy sugar. Mmmm.
Well it is now 12:40am here and I am going to have an "Ice cold can of Coka-cola to quench my summer night thurst" (Queue music, and beach balls, and hot chicks in bathers)
What was the topic again? see this for a bit of beer goodness:
I use to work in a pub, and the only people who drink fosters are the American tourists* who walk around in slouch hats saying things like "Ge-Day Mate" and "Lets throw another shrimp on the bar-be"
* British tourists tended to prefer the cheapest beer, whilst European tourists preferred the Imported beers.
In that case, they wouldn't be choosing what desktop is to be installed, because the system is installed, and configured by the time they purchased it.
Personally, I use KDE because Metacity (Default WM for RH9 Gnome) would not give me the option of how I want the window/mouse interaction to be. There was a rather large flamewar about the feature (Users wanted an option, maintainers wanted a "clever automatic way").
The only desktop I like is the one that I can configure to the exact way I like. No body tells me how my computer should act/look like/run or not run. If we all rolled over and accepted that, we all would be using Windows XP.
I though the idea of a beta was to find the bugs. if this patch is only beta, does that mean the original was alpha?
Damn, Microsoft is smart, they sell there alpha version and the give away the beta version

Ah yes, but he does make a valid point. An opinion about Isreal is an opinion about Jews.
Though it doesn't occur with other countries. For example, if I we to say "...England was responsible for 9/11...", people would not say, "Ohhh, you anti-christan...", they would probably just call me a fuckwit.
Hmmm, the next step could be to have the manufactures of consumer cd players to only read the audio cd-r's and not the data cd-r's.
That way, if someone wants to use a cd-r on something other than a computer, they would have to pay the recording industry. A nice way to make money.
In the future, the record industry will be making money from the artists they have signed, plus all the garage bands who burn their own music on cd-r's and give (or sell) them at live performances.
But isn't this just the same as if I went to sourceforge / freshmeat (whatever) and downloaded a GPL'd application. I can get the source without going through a click through license. I can also compile the source without seeing any contracts.
By your logic I can do anything I want because I didn't explicitly agree to the GPL and never signed anything that stated I would not use the software if I didn't agree to the GPL.
I've seen some comments about hey, another Y2K waste of time... blah blah blah. But think of it this way:
1 - What if all the money that was spent to "fix" the Y2K bug actually fixed the bug.
2 - Most people say that all the money spent "fixing" the Y2K bug was a waste because nothing happened.
3 - How many people have insurance of some sort, and have never needed it (I am). Yet every year, you renew your policies.
There are two things we can do about these "time" bombs. The first is to do nothing and hope that all is well. Or we could audit the code that may fail. A bit like paying insurance.
The only secure Windows box is the one that I planted my flowers in. No, wait, that fell off and fell two stories onto the footpath (sidewalk for the en_US folks)
The only interesting velocity is the velocity of the SCO director just before they hit the ground. The velocity of the bodyguard should only be taken into account if they land on the director.
Actually, the OS for the voice synth was based on SCO Loonix (I just made that up then:) and Luke didn't have the $699 for a license, so it was removed.
A good way to check for spelling errors (other than clicking spell on the toolbar) is to read the entire document backwards (bottom to top, right to left)

Ok then, swimmers. It could be worse, back in the 70's they were called "Toggs"

This does not just apply to games. It applies to every *legal* activity.
- Don't like skydiving because you may die, don't do it.
- Don't like porn because it corrupts, don't watch it
- Don't like going for quiet walks in the park, don't do it.
- Don't like Marilyn Manson because he sings about death and sex, well don't listen.
But NEVER attempt to stop me from doing/watching/playing/listening to what I want to.

I was just in the shops today getting some CD-R's and I noticed that some were labeled AUDIO CD-R, while others were labeled DATA CD-R.
The only difference was the price.
DATA CD-R worked out about $0.80 per CD-R
AUDIO CD-R worked out about $1.30 per CD-R
I wonder how many people will get the audio cd-r's thinking that somehow the data cd-r's will not play audio?

They could simply do the same as here (Australia). Place some text at the bottom of the screen that says:
"Overseas model shown"
Plays great with mplayer. Also you can save them on your HD with mencoder:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o

Two other tips:
1. An ATM is commonly referred to as an ATM machine
and
2. A PIN is commonly referred to as a PIN number
So we have to enter out personal identification number number into the automatic teller machine machine.
You have the right to remain silent, as long as that silence does not infringe on any copyright laws, or is for personal use only.

"Can't they just email SCO's last remaining customer directly?"
Nah, they had to take down their mail server becase it was infringing on SCO's IP.
It was determined that the system was running an "Operating System(TM)" and was connected to a power point.
The only interesting velocity is the velocity of the SCO director just before they hit the ground. The velocity of the bodyguard should only be taken into account if they land on the director.
