MUSIC to you vs. sell it. So when the CD wears out send it back and have it replaced for the cost of the media just like ALMOST any software company will do:)
the software companies addmitance that their SW is GARBAGE, and that what you are really getting is a time limited access to support to try and make their crappy SW work. When you move on to another piece of SW, the support time has been used up:)

I wish the Politicos would STOP the GrandStanding and start dealing with REALITY and the ISSUES. Ashcroft is one of the WORST REACTIONARIES. He fully realizes that the extraordinary powers he is requesting WILL NEVER BE REVOKED.
They have to spend ALL that money in order to attract OUR ATTENTION, or moreproperly craft the illusion that their goals are for the common good. We already have our attention, and wee KNOW they are full of it, we just need to organize. One factor is age, how many/bots are actually of voting age ?
I looked at these, and ended up with a Nomad with 6GB, a stereo with auxilary input, 20 cds(all indies thank-you), and $400 left over. I really think I got the better deal, it is really easy to yank the Nomad inside and USB it to the PC for a new music change. Granted it is not as COOL as the Empeg, but as an added BONUS, my palm omni-remote will drive my NOMAD, sort of:)
they are PBS member so if enough people from another PBS member station raised a stink they could get on the copies for a cheap price I am sure. KTEH is ALWAYS looking for another source of money:)
Both are cases of Vandalism or even maybe destruction of public property because it is on the VERY PUBLIC NET. The only mitigating factor is the cost of the damage and clean-up. Why don't we enforce the laws we have, instead of pushing for new foolish ones ? Easy, because no Politician will get KUDOS for enforcing old legislation, but they will get BIG PUBLICITY for enacting new legislation in the current climate...
Mercantilism and we are just about there in the US.
Harken back unto the revolution, The HudsonBay company owned a bunch of TEA.
This is not the first time we've seen this kind of mercantilism, the first time was a PRIMARY motivator in the America Revolution.

and when my high end 8 way compaq server goes belly up with the BSOD and a cryptic M$ error code that M$ support claims does not exist ?
I agree the right tool for the job, a M$ workstation on the (L)user's desk and a ROBUST UNIX server behind to ensure the business keeps on running. Let the (L)user's re-boot as needed but I expect my server to approach 99.99% uptime.
Not had anything with a M$ OS come more than reasonably close to that, though WIN2K is a MUCH improved animal.
frontpage just licensing the use of the code for WAY too much money. It seems illegal to me as well but I cannot see the ARMY of lawyers M$ has letting somthing that silly slip by.
I've got no child pornography to worry about, and If the FBI, or whatever agency wanted in, asked I'd be happy to give them access, but I DO object to MY ISP providing access without #1 legal documentation, #2 my permission.
Now I could not find anywhere wether a writ was issued in this instance or not so this may all be smoke if the FBI had a warrant more power to them.
I disagree with the above AC, NOW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIME to ensure the FBI adheres to the rules, anyone we catch we must make sure IT STICKS. I'd hate to read about a case being thrown out because of a due process violation.
With such a good track record I think WE ALL have room to be concerned. The only thing SURE about the government is that, AT SOME TIME IT WILL ATTEMPT TO ABUSE AND DISREGARD YOUR RIGHTS.

Innocent until proven guilty, I will not bother to repost the thomas jefferson quote.
"Further, such an approach would improve the signal to noise ratio by ensuring that communication was routed through approved vendors who would dispose of the chaff and provide us with the grain.

Pre-screened sanitized news, from an APPROVED vendor, sounds like what you get on an airline, nothing that could be disturbing, nothing that might upset you, or cause you to think for that matter you DAMN SHEEP. You sound like you should move to Cuba, or China, where things can be controlled to your satisfaction.
That kind of please let the government take care of me attitude disgusts me. I really hope you are not a US citizen.
for a LARGE company that is predominatly Token Ring. We've got various flavours of Linux running and there is a debian developer in my group, I will ask him. One thing I do know is that the network techs are always on the lookout for TR cards in Promiscious Mode. They come down like a ton of bricks on those users. Good luck
If the rest of the game is that overscripted assualt style game it will have ZERO (0) replay value. While the graphics are nice, there is NOTHING special or even NEW that I could see. Granted it is just an alpha test but I was NOT impressed, nor were most of the folks I talked to. They should have kept it under wraps until it was a little more ready. On a side not the UNREAL2 alpha that is out BLOWS AWAY return to wolf, but it is much harder to find.
Security is not our problem. The airlines have decided it is OK to trust your security to $5.50 an hour security guards, and WE SHOULD MAKE THE SACRIFICE ? The airlines make 300% of each ticket, and they cannot be 'bother' to maintain a decent security system, or even hire decent employees to handle baggage. The number of rip-offs and scams that go down in an airport PROVE THAT. If the Fed would just HOLD the airlines to the existing standards and the FINE them enough MONEY to make it worth while instead of a handslap, things would be VERY different NOW. Bottom line if the airlines adhered to existing secuirity the terrorists would NOT HAVE GOTTEN KNIVES ON BOARD.
#1 long waits ??, beyond the screwing we get now as the airline oversells seats and tries to shuffle people around at the last minute, a HUGE security hole.
#2 Higher ticket proces ? beyond the 300% profit they make per person now, How about the airlines just live up to the agreements they have already made.
#3 Less Privacy, i already am required to provide valid ID prior to getting on a plane, and that ID must match the name/id of the person reserving the ticket.
#4 My Life. I TOO am willing to die to protect my Family, and MY FREEDOM, but I refuse to go to war for a corporations's profits. When the corp's begin to take some responsibilty for the messes they creat instead of expecting Uncle Sam to re-write the laws for them, or throw his weight around so they can manuever some 3rd world country into a recievership economy. In the meantime all I can offer is my deepest sympathy for those affected by the bombing, and the hope that we can find the responsible ones.
More than likely they are standing back watching the FBI DO WHATEVER IT WANTS. Whether that be randomly reading emails, or installing WHATEVER software/hardware they want. If you depend on AOL or Earthlink to protect your privacy you HAVE NONE. All I can say in encrypt Encrypt ENCRYPT.
Anytime the nice Sgt reads the unlawfull assembly act and forces everyone to disperse that is IN FACT invoking MARTIAL LAW. They just don't use it in its' full glory.
"Hmm, doesn't seem to work, does it. How about stopping to be the bully of the world, might be worth a try."
Run for Office SNISER, I'll vote for you on that platform alone. If the US government was more worried about HUMANS in our dealings with the rest of the world and NOT about securing future OIL, and or manipulating some small 3rd world country into a receivership economy things might be different.
they recommend NO MORE THAN 5-6000 and wont even GIVE support for active/active fail-over. M$ current recomendation is 5k to 6k users on active passive failover with standby IDLE hardware. If someone from either company has given you different numbers please let me know. We are in the middle of planning a MAJOR migration from mainframe Taos, Notes and other clients to a standard Exchange2k system. Approx. 150000 users are planned over the next 2 years.

We use SUNGUARD services for mainframe data storage. God help us if we ever actually need that data in an emergency :(
