>>>Compared to most places she can be quite caustic, and it can really flabbergast many people, but I've come to lover her style instead of all the "touchy feely it's not your faulty cushion even the smallest thing" stuff you find in many other places. And as you said, her message is meaningful and ethical.
From what I've seen, the people most affected by her brash phrasings are those touchy-feely 'I dont want to hurt anyone' types of people. Still, I'm shocked how some people will ask the stupidest things. Those people needed to be yelled at.
Past the advice she passes on, I do disagree with her on some issues on the grounds of philsophy differences. I'd reccomend that anyone who wants to call her at least listen to her show for a month. You need to understand her bias in order to accept her reasoning of her advice.
In general, I do listen to her at least 2 times a week and generally agree with her.
>>>I got very self centered about this somewhere along the way. If I was bored in class it wasn't my problem. It was somebody elses. I guess i've come to realise that school _is_ a place of learning, provided you are able to learn at the prescribed rate.
And even way back then, I thought the prescribed rate was so slow. The last I needed was to 'learn' how to add fractions for the 6'th time. And even to this day, I fault them for not trying to find my rate of learning. If I'm ahead of the curriculum for the year, why keep me in this grade? I guess we all can thank the mediocracy of the Public School System.
>>>I wish i'd had the presence of mind at that age to just say to my teachers: 'I can sit at my desk and cause a distraction while you ramble on about stuff I already know, or I can finish my work, sit down out of the way and read a book quietly. How do you want it?'.
I did ask, although not in that way... I said I knew all of this and asked if I could read a non-fiction book I brought from home. I then was actually sent home with the excuse from the 'teacher' that I didn't want to learn, so why deal with me...
But when the patch is 40MB that "fixes" many things that were never broken, can you trust the patch?
Knowing MS, they'll offload packs that will break something else, or require deps on Service Packs. How do I know that upgrading Win2K SP2 to SP4 wont break the medical reporting server?
Be aware that if you do call Dr. Laura, take what she says with a double-dosage of salt. The way she talks to participants are usually very caustic, but her message is meaningful and ethical.
I've learnt the similar thing in school. Even before I was in kindergarten, I was reading magazines, newspapers and the like. There were, of course, words I wasnt sure of, but I figured them out between my parents and a dictionary.
Well, when I get to school in kindergarten, I blew everybody away. Most was starting on their ABC's and counting. I was pretty much bored to death. And I was ancy. Having a 'teacher' (I use this word very loosly) who was one of those high-strung IHATECHILDREN types didnt help much either.
Needless to say, they called in the psych people and demanded that they put me on drugs and psycho-therapy. My parents put their foot down hard and told them to fuck off.
What you have here is a teacher who wants all their kids to be is little blobs who sit down and shut up.
I learnt something else from that early age: School isnt the place of learning. Perhaps that also ruined me, as I never had to study to ace a test or somesuch.

>>If anything, the people here most likely have a better understanding of copyright law than the common public. Why? Because most of them deal with intellectual property day-in and day-out.
Unless you're a lawyer who has had judgements for copyright suits, you dont know diddly.
Reason is that the idea of "Fair Use" must ALWAYS be tested in court. There isn't a hard and fast definition of that idea.
New stripes? I'm just attributing to the prior business decisions of Real.
Real Player went as far to collect your name/dob from web fields. R. Player gave full stats about your sustem to real.com websites. Real Downloader gave full download stats to real.com (including filename , size, MD5, time).
And those are just a few I can think of.
Point is a company can be ethical and make money. They CHOSE NOT to be ethical. So I CHOOSE NOT to utilise anything that relates to their service... Player, OR codec.
That is one piece of software I will never install, and reccomend to everybody to NOT use it. It is bloaty, spyware ridden, and "BUYME Plus version" is painted everywhere.
As you read slashdot, more than 1/2 of the replies so far say the exact same as I do. Your player sucks, your one way codec sucks, and your idealogy sucks.
I will use your product ONLY after plenty others before me become guinea pigs to test the 'next player'. 2-4 years should give you enough to clean up your act... or die.
I've drank percolated coffee (synonomous to motor oil) along with 1.5 scoop power drip for 6 years, and I quit many times (once up to 6 months) with no ill effects. No headache, no crankyness, no tiredness.. anything. To my body, it's like drinking really hot flavored water.
I've noticed it's the same way with medical drugs I've taken long ago and with alcohol.... Takes 5-6 shots of whiskey within 1 hour (80-100 proof) before I FEEL anything.
I weigh 275 and and 6'5 and my body chemistry is really whacked out. Ambient body temp 100.0F, immune to wasp stings (feels like a simple prick- no fire), very allergic to mosquitos (they create 2 in. welts wherever they sting - they occur within 20 minutes too).
Would you mind telling of the (un)common problems related to a caffine alergy? If you'd like to share your symptoms, go on ahead;-)
I've never considered that you could have such an allergy. Peanuts, shellfish, cigeratte smoke (I've got a nasty allergy of that- hives, whoopinglike cough, flush) I understand....

Here's why we dont consider Linux/Unix:

Simply enough, it doesnt break once you set it up. Windows setups break on a regular basis, and my employers want yet more and more money.
Consulting with the "good old boy" businesses are the hardset to get Linux in.

Why's this a troll? It's informative... and its the right link.
Mod up for truthfullness.
Simply set up a proxy server on your network (NOT IN BETWEEN) and then tell people how to set up the proxy server.
Let users have capability of unmolested connection OR anti-crap proxy filter connection. Everybody's happy.
Damn. A movie player for a gameboy. It almost can do what a full computer can do..
