Is anyone know existence of or even a rumor of such a thing ?
I know that HP, and Dell are in the same bed with "Redmond"ians, but some company like Intel, whose sole profit is from selling the chip... can't make any sense why they would not like to sell more of it..
Although I am not familiar with Aussie law, by looking at the latest stories, I am under the impression that it is as draconian as their counterparts in the US. And being backed by these extremely corporate favoring laws, music industry (not the artist) is able to do anything "they" deem possible and doing it. When they can not find any real substance to hold the websites accountable, instead of accepting defeat, they are spinning the story to make their claim valid as "linking by itself is illegal" claims in this story.
Yes, artists are getting gipped by pirate downloads and it is morally wrong. We all know and accep that. But these artists are the ones who can say "STOP!" to this music industry who is alienating the atrists' client base. EFF/EFA are doing the right thing, by protecting the innocent but as long as artists are backing the RIAA and its derivatives all over the world, just to make a few more pennies, these big-money dragons will prey on everyone and the rule of the land will be "everyone is guilty unless proven innocent".
Yes it is hard to beat M$ because of their already installed user base etc. etc. but I really would like to see some heavy hitters to release ditributions targetted at the desktop.
Enterprise users of linux servers has a good linux administrator base to perform the tweaks this new version is bringing in right out of the box.
I am waiting for the day to see the windoooze on desktop killer linux distro to come out of Redhat:)
Every story has 2 sides and sites like what you referenced reflects it from the complainers point of view. All of us, who are technically "more capable" than the average Joe Surfer want to take advantage of it, and we do not like to get caught red-handed. When we do get caught, we start screaming bloody murder off the top of our lungs. If you noticed, I am saying "we" not "you". Because I am wored the same way. If there is a way to get more benefit out of some scheme, and I feel like I can pull a fast one, I am there. PayPal is just like a supermarket. Virtually nobody is watching but other shoppers (other paypal users) and some drone cameras (analogus to defrauding observer scripts) And one has every reason to shoplift because chances of getting caught at that time is pretty slim. But after not getting caught once. twice, people start to become smartasses and think that they can cheat more people and like grasshopper example, you can jump once, jump twice but someone catches you on the third because you are so predictable.
Monetary transaction is nothing to mess with, yet some people still expect to get away with it. When they couldn't, they register NoPayPal.com or paypalsucks.com (I am not sure even if it exists, but you got my point I think) and start screaming.
One of my colleagues at work sends her daughter in college money exclusively using paypal and he swears by it it is the best way. I receive payments from some surveys I do for a few outfits and I am yet to encounter a problem.
And yes, there may be mistakes. Even the spam blockers have false positive problem but this is what the human factor for and if you have a legitimate leg to stand on, I don't think Meg Whitman wants to risk her career as CEO of ebay/paypal to strongarm you for your few hundred dollars.
Try to see the flipside of the coing what I would like to say, when you are reading the anything-bashing sites.
Yes, obtaining RHCE diploma is a tough job but after all it tells me that you can configure a red hat linux server.
Right now, RH being the dominant player in the market, this certification may bode well with anyone looking out to hire Linux help, but IMHO, Linux certification should not be tied to any single vendor distro.
Not all paypal money is deposited using credit cards. Many incentive programs, survey sites etc, pay thru pay pal. And if one is a starving student (BTW, what the heck is a starving student doing by shelling out a buck per song is a very valid question) he or she may not have a credit card to plunk down at the ITMS.
What else can I say ? If the option is available and if someone is willing to pay the exorbitant price markup, why not squeeze few pennies out of it ?
Unless apple implements this payment method, the markup will be driven down but will exist in one form or another despite how small it ends up to be.
Also for the initial paypal bashing post owner : not everyone's paypal experience is as bad as what you had to hate them that much. If you know what you are getting into and not trying to defraud the system, why worry ?
Spy : (n) One who tracks others' activities and reports them to a third paty.
Gator : Tracks the web sites you visit, provide unwanted popups usually in the form of competitor websites over the targeted ad banners, and god knows what else.
If we are to be naming the activity of this piece of crap (I can not call it software sorry) it is called spying. Hence I do not have any problem attaching the spyware label to it.
My list would consist free versions of all of the titles below (some are free version only anyways)
1) ZoneAlarm firewall
2) AVG antivirus
3) Adaware spyware defense
4) Winamp 3.0 for music
5) IrfanView for image viewer and simple manipulation
6) mozilla browser/email (also opera free version as a backup)
right off the top of my head
none of these should cost a penny if right versions chosen
if you are the curious type and glanced around his site, traversing the links to the other pages, it becomes obvious. I could not help sending him an email,part of which I copied below:
(About your Bush vs him page)....but I can see who is the doofus and who is not. And as you guessed, my opinion on the doofus coefficient between the you two is totally opposite of your views.
As a side note, Clinton era was not the most prosperous era because the womanizer "jerk" had any capacity or capability to find and pick out a black cat out of a pan of milk, let alone managing the prosperity of world's largest economy, he was just having a plain freeride from the Reagan era economy. He, as any liberal leader does, eroded off whatever wealth accumulated for getting re-elected. Now, you and most blind liberals are blaming the economic downturn, over to the republican administration.
If you have not had any economy classes in your extremely crowded education, according to your resume, let me crack you the news here : any economic measure taken today, needs 7 to 9 years till its results can be observed.
I am sick and tired of the blinded liberals like you. I have been in the same jobless trenches for longer than most probably you will ever be, but never blamed it on others. If you can just look around, I am sure you can see too many menial jobs that you can do, but I am sure your "high" standarts will dictate you to spread crap instead of doing something which is really useful....
But since I have not lived in Canada long enough and recent enough to say any word about how their telephone spammers works, but in the US, people who use telezapper thang-a-magic, swear by it, telling that it reduced 90% of their telemarketing calls.
Me ? I am a die-hard freebie fan, use a regular answering machine to screen calls and erase them when I get an ocassional one or two every week.

Cringe sure loves the limelight even if he has nothing new to say.

spam is bad and wrong.
but asking everyone to white-list their mail servers is even more wrong.
Can't I send an email to my friends working at AT&T using my yahoo mail account because it is widely used by spammers ? Or god forbid hotmail ?
Looks like s**t-for-brains was on duty at the giant telco again.
Wondering how long this grand-idea is going to last.
