is that because executives are too stupid to process real data and like things boiled down to meaningless colors ?! Seems much like the power point to management level ratio. I can literally gauge the management level of a presentation based on the number of colors and type of power point (ie moron displays) The prettier the page, the higher up the management... If presented it in flow charts with lots of colors I could sell our management on anything. Use a digital projector and put it in 3d and you can add 5 million to the budget of any project:)
and in the 4 years how many things has he installed on his mac vs how many on the PC, not a defense of M$'s crappy registration DB setup mind you , but while I LOVE my apple cinema display, it is plugged into a PC so I can run and interact with 75% of the rest of the world. I will assume the burden for maintaining the registy by re-install every 6 months for that if it is what it takes...
i've made the comment before, the ubiquitiousness of the surveilence with prohibit the individual from exempting themselves from monitoring, thus the only VIABLE option will be to overload the system with junk data. Like getting a new discount card profile every time you use it. If they can't link them all together you've compromised the system. If you have a random rfid tag generator and use it all the time, the system would become to expensive and constrictive to maintain.
difference in DSL and cable prices ? Where...same cost where I am, an arm and a leg, plus your first born, and both rising, like 15 % in the last year, GO BUSH GO, let's deregulate some more to save consumers money and drive competition.
So now a manufacturer is responsible for what is done with the product they legally sold to a buyer ?!? Granted I am not a big M$ fan but how are they responsible for what China does with the technology ??? Any more than Colt is responsible for what the legal purchaser of a firearm does after taking possesion according to the laws. The UN sets out to combat what ?? their own lack of funds and whatever other perks the members at large can get their hands on...
We shoot and KILL the entire staff, and every rep from the RIAA, allow the musiacians and the record industy to reform a new group, with an assurance that the control will always be 51% recording artists and 49% a$$ licking administrators and give them a chance to settle on a viable pricing scheme. If it is in the least bit competitive they will win. If I could get a CD quality sound track for a reasonable price or a wide selection of HIGH BIT RATE ENCODED music, at least 192 or better, I'd be back to buying music, or at least the wee bit of the current crop of crap I could stand. I honestly think that I have on cassette, vinyl or cd EVERY song that I've downloaded. I understand the objection to pirating but I payed for the song/album once on an inferior medium that decayed, do I need to PAY to license the same song on a different medium, while the RIAA might think so, I DON'T and I am NOT SURE THE COURTS do either to tell you the truth. That particular aspect has never been challenged in a legal arena.
DO NOT SHOP at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club...Put your money where your mouth is. When people will pay more vs. doing business with a low life retailer the retailer will go out of business. When hypocrits just BIATCH and then go save 3 cents well, FO:)
C'mon disney hasn't had an ORIGINAL thought since Walt dies... Not sure if you are trolling or not but how can a remake be ORIGINAL, and DISNEY HAS DONE NOTHING BUT REMAKES FOR like 10 years now, or if it isn't a remake it is a blatant rip-off of someone else's work. Tarzan, original ? George of the jungle orignal NOT... As to the stories, I agree totally, somthing orignal is a sin to TV EXECs:(
Maybe there is a correlation betwixt a government that wants to do everything from wipe your ass to be your mommy that is causing such problems. The government of GB gives me the willies looking out for its' citizens rights even beyond what they want. Big brother is alive and well in the British Isles and sprouting in America as well:(
charlie brown, or don't and just continue to be a sheep. Your CC doesn't have the ability and the means to monitor your actions beyond the use of the card. I use speed pass, I leave it in the glove box unless I am coming to the bridge and it won't read from there. If it was a watch I'd or I was required to carry it I would not have one, there is NO PRIVACY protection for everywhere else you go and everything else you buy, so YOU don't have anything to hide, why do you protect you financial statements, or your particular bent in adult entertainment, oh yeah that video you bought is linked with the DB that also monitors the rfid stations that track rfid locator tags,just for info sake:) I agree the watch itself is just a thing, but the mechanism to monitor your every action is bening placed and most people just gaze at it like a cow at a passing train...
I have slowed down my down-loading becuase I have finally begun to catch up to the current and I find I really don't want any of the current music. Once I filled out my old collection, ie got mp3's of my old tapes and records, I began to see less and less reason ro download things. Its not that I am afraid of the RIAA, and I doubt their tactics are succeeding unless putting out crappy music to discourage pirating is a strategy:)
Lake Superior State U, wow that is obviously a place of higher learning, with serious subjects and weighty discussion occupying large amounts of the industrious, academically driven students. Then again maybe the sit around and talk about useless inane B$. You be the judge. I would have expected to see reality TV there, afterall we know the networks just plain CAN'T NOT script everything down to the slightest audience chuckle, just ask Ozzy:)
increased costs to cover the 'equipment' for this upgrade, then the companies will rake in the profit from the new system without EVER even thinking about passing on the saving unless it becomes a price war. Just like the US networks took advantage of HDTV's expanded signal, to cram 3 times as much low definition stuff into the same bandwidth, triple their commercials, deduct the costs of upgrades, AND increase the cost to users under the guise of a better service which is actually pixelated and inmany cases worse than the analog we had before:( WTG King George 'FreeMarket' Kickback Bush
cross domain cookies get rejected by lots of people, and is going to be the default behavior under xp sp2 and 2k3. I'll accept a cookie from the site I am trying to use, but 3rd party folks better stand down, either provide a service for that info or some money, its what everyone wants from me these days. $$$'s for a long distance land line service I have never used but can't avoid, number portability for a cell # that I don't publish and never plan on taking anywhere with me...surcharges for handling and processing and restocking fees. I am bloody fed up with it, either give me somthing for my money, or STEP OFF JACKSON...
whew I feel better...Happy New Year all, be safe and have fun:)
as they currently stand have any real validty. LOL As long as they can restrict their calls to a particular area code its not of any use anyways, and almost all of them are very minimal people likely to reflect the opinions of the surveyor.
being applied that way... King George is declaring war on idea's, parts of speech are next I think, those silly adverbs have always confused him, individuals from sovereign countries are being subjected detention for violation of US laws, while being denied the protections of the self same laws and constitution.
I have to agree Wal-Mart is a monopsonist by definition, WHAT to do about it is a tougher question. The old A&P grocery chain was a great example and was a monopsonist that became a monopoly, which in turn was killed by the government, but it took while and crushed many people:(
Your employer should have the right, NAY the obligation to run spot checks to ensure their investments and ours as stock-holders is being properly cared for. Did they find any valid issues ? Don't get me wrong I am not throwing stones, far from it I sympathize enormously, security is a screwy field currently, prone to witch hunts due to management errr...Ignorance is the word I think:(
use a 20 gig creative nomad, and www.notmad.com Native disk use, no DRM, any file types, play ON THE DEVICE though an external hookup using a web interface that doesn't reside on ur PC IE use 2% resources and listen to a 20 hour playlist. Creative made the player, and the lousy software that made me hate it. Notmad made the drivers to make it a generic external device and made me LOVE IT AGAIN:) with dual analog inputs it hooks to my PC AND My stereo simultaneously making a great bridge, my ONLY real complaint now is the USB is SLOW SLOW SLOW SLOW:(
without reading I see one issue, sure encryption IN the background is proceeding, especially that which you have no control over, and while it serves the surface function it leaves the user FURTHER under the control of a 'gatekeeper'. The time for user implemented crypto came and went, PGP had potential to put the public good ahead of corporate and government interests.
Now convince the consumers that it provides them ANY benefit or advantage...Granted the manufacturers will get to lie and misrepresent the facts on national television and printed media but still every person I've EVER explained the concept to has come away WHAT ?!?! NO WAY, be they a computer literate person or just someone buying lots of music or dvd's. Break it down to a basic level and compare to every day examples, and they 'so-called' consumer advantages DRY UP AND BLOW away and all you are left with is a system to squeeze blood from a failing market, DIVX didn't fly and it was consumer friendly and simple compared to the implications of DRM and the long term hidden effects.....

7 out of 10 so-called 2002 vaporware award winner materialized and were quite successful. For example one near and dear to many of us, the Linux NeverWinterNights client was voted vaporware in 2002, as was ShadowBane.

the lawyers do. A business license is CHEAP, and then provide a CORPORATE contact vs a persons name...Works for the company I am employed by..
