and brand perverts with a letter 'P' on their foreheads... make adulterers wear scarlet letter A's on their clothes... make convicted shop-lifters wear a dayglo bib whenever they have to enter a shop...
If that's what it takes to make the public feel safer in their beds, then, I'm sure some politician somehwere would love to make it so...
Dahlink... I thought you knew... no-one who is anyone turns up on the day... everybody knows you have to be fashionably late to these events... never in the first causality loop... that's for the wannabees...
No, these are not the same conservatives, these are NeoCons, and they have absolutely nothing to do with the founding principles of US conservatism except for using the Replublican Party brand.
Rather like the British Labour Party has been stolen from the true Labour supporters by so called "New Labour"... trading on all Labour's associations with the working classess, but solely concerned with the machinations of their project... Strangely enough, Tony Blair's deep in bed with George Bush... weird, two parties from opposite ends (apparently) of the political spectrum
Strangely enough, that's almost exactly how things were in the Parliament of Great Britain in good Old King George's day, totally rotten... you lot rebelled because you had no representation, the "corporations" of the day were buying ther law and you lot couldn't get access.
The British East India Company had controlled all tea trading between India and the British colonies. As a result of the tea tax, the colonies refused to buy the British tea. Instead, they smuggled tea in from Holland. This left the British East India Company with warehouses full of unsold tea, and the company was in danger of going out of business.
The British government was determined to prevent the British East India Company from going out of business. It was going to force the colonists to buy their tea. In May 1773, Prime Minister North and the British parliament passed the Tea Act. The Tea Act allowed the British East India Company to sell tea directly to the colonists, bypassing the colonial wholesale merchants. This allowed the company to sell their tea cheaper than the colonial merchants who were selling smuggled tea from Holland.
no, the next release is Breezy Badger... Grumpy Groundhog is not intended for release. It is in the same situation as Debian's Sid... a perpetual testing ground.
I worked for a company that suffered a similar fate. We were the industry leaders with our products in speech recognition... we entered a technology swap with Microsoft and where did it leave us??? dead in the water as Microsoft incorporated our technology under license in Office and left people not needing to purchase our product anymore to do speech recognition...
sounds just like the Mercury delay line memory from the old days. Where they used sound pulses travelling in the mercury to represent presence or abscence of bits...
did you see the size of Blockbuster's debts??? the moment they fail to service the debt the vultures will call them in... bye-bye... Blockbuster cannot cut their prices too low for too long just to eliminate Netflix... they run the very severe danger of slashing their own lifeblood... cashflow to service the debt...
If that's so, then perhaps they really are eating their own dog-food...
I was going to post that we only have Microsoft's word on this... what's to stop them from really running this MSN stuff on top of Linux and fudging the reply headers...
"But if you are in a business setting, just reimage the box in half an hour and be done with it."
Get the bl00dy data of the thing first though... ie hunt down and suck out the.pst files and other stuff the user will scream about. And don't forget the baby pictures and their wallpapers as well...
yes well... I can sympathise with those who boot once per day... the vast majority of the time, they, like me, will be fixing their morning coffee while the machine boots, so they, like me, will come back to a system that is ready for login... (yes, I suffer having to use NT at work and having to shut it down at cease work to comply with our fire regulations... only certain servers get left on overnight, and those have large dayglow signs over the power switches...)
As far as I'm concerned, anyone who has to boot more than once per day is either a masochist, or has got a really shitty install of windows...
Sadly, I have failed at getting OOo in use at work because it has a heck of a job with the templates we've got in use. Those templates use a heck of a lot of macros and also make heavy use of sections and numbering... needless to say, I would have to go to the trouble of re-doing every single template doc from scratch to be able to successfully use them with OOo... and all the hassle of getting the new versions past the Quality department as approved documents for our iso 9001 system... currently, when I try using the existing templates, I get a heck of a mess when it comes to the numbering of paras etc... and going back and forth between word and OOo is not fun...
actually I'm working on a far better desktop... Gnome 2.12 with Xorg and all the nice rendering features we now have...
As far as I'm concerned... Microsoft is irrelevant, I don't need them anymore. I just get on with things knowing that everything, as they say, "just works"TM... unlike Microsoft where everything apparently, until they announced Longhorn, "works just"...
actually, if it were truly "innovative"... the shadows would be rendered properly and you could move the apparent light source and have the shadows move correctly. Imagine being able to drag a "Sun" icon (NOT SUN you dummies) around the desktop with the mouse as part of the desktop properties dialog...
your advice to start selling Microsoft shares is fine to a point... the point being that lots of people's pension funds have major investments in Microsoft and those funds are usually very slow to get out of the pan when things start going wormy... so if you start a panic slide on Microsot, then basically, everybody gets to hurt... we need Microsoft shares to come down slowly... not implode in panic selling.

or you could, like me, be seeding the Star Wars Revelations DVD isos...

yes, as time passes, your memories can only get better...

The Tea was forced upon you by the East India Company buying a law because you lot wouldn't buy their tea in the first place because of the ridiculous tax upon it...

your lunchbreaks are long enough for you to actually leave your desks???
what idiot decided to use quicktime??? what the heck was wrong with picking a free codec for doing it with???
you would be far better served using a custom rebuild of the new Morphix Lite.

could explain just why Microsoft is so desparate to get all those workers in from India...

Nah... that's "Fat Orange Cat with black stripes"... no cause for confusion there...
Yes, we now have a real villain... and it's not Jar-Jar...

when was the last time I booted this system???
some 20 days ago...
20:33:27 up 20 days, 23:41, 2 users, load average: 0.31, 0.35, 0.29
when was the last time I botted my other system???
20:34:40 up 293 days, 7:25, 7 users, load average: 0.25, 0.17, 0.10
why the F would I ever need an early logon to GDM???
