Of the other side of the coin, I can kill someone with a knife. Should I not know how to make a knife or any other sharp object because it is lethal? How exactly am I going to use those nuclear launch codes? If the security code leaked in the first place, then the system is flawed. Its not about the information someone has, it's what they do with it that makes them a "bad guy."
I garantee this service will not be anywhere NEAR where I live. How long 'till I can sing up for it? more porn, here I come!! , oops, did I say that out loud?
tech support:sir, this hard drive is not recomended for use on airplanes, fast cars, or trains.We do not recommend traveling at all with any laptop with this setup.
don't get me wrong, I like to play with toys. I just don't think you need to wear something instead of just putting a PDA in your pocket. It's already small, lightweight, and has plenty of usefull "applications".
Why does technology ALWAYS have to get smaller? I NEED a cell phone that can reach at least halfway between my ear and my mouth. Anything smaller and I will look like I am having a seizure when I am talking on the phone.
everynow and then I also like NOT looking like a geek.
the whole point of the "bidding" process is to see who gives the lowest bid. They still have the right to choose the best free software.
Now instead of competing in two arenas (best price vs. best technology), there is only one. The only one who should be making the choice is the ones who will implement it and manage it.
It is critical that taxpayers receive the best quality programs at the least cost
Come again?
Best quality.. hundreds of thousands of people working towards a similar goal of better code vs. hundreds of guys patching old code to make it look better?
Least cost.. DO I NEED to go there?
Time to take the tin foil hat off!!
now that I have been a reclusive-noninternet using citizen, I can finally see slashdot!!
so what is this linux thing all about?
during high school, the majority of us were trying to NOT get beat up by the jock, or try as much as possible to not be recognized as a geek. (the latter was foiled by our not-so-keen fashion sense)
now you want us to be a WALKING geek poster crowd?
uhh, OK (no, serious)
Microsoft:"it's not OUR OS, it must be those freaks useing apple OS or linux"
SCO:"please pay us for everytime and 'accident' happens with our IP technology"
Cowboy Neal:"yeah sorry about that. I don't normally view porn on planes, but I got bored"
Microsoft:Well, if you were using devices controlled by WINDOWS this would not happen.
SCO:Please pay US $699 for everytime your airplane "accidentally" gets taken over by our IP
Cowboy Neal:"Yeah, sorry about that. My telepathy is normally not THAT strong"
and we heartily agree with that sentence of your letter. The others don't seem to make as much sense, but we find the dialogue refreshing.
other dialogue that has been refreshing:
The sky is a nice shade of purple grape
sure, the movie legally blonde 2 was a very heart wrenching drama
we WILL pay $700 per liscence
Windows ME was the bets version of....
Bad situation:
mom and dad walk by little jimmy's room, pull out the scanner, and find jimmy has:
2 packs of cigs
5 porno videos, including the tommy lee video
a 50 pack of condoms
and a "3 foot long tobacco enhacement product (tm)"
dad says to mom "thats my boy!"
Everyone is missing the real reason no code was even made.
They were trying to figure out how to fake numbers that made it look like realPC ran faster than anything in the world!
before we go probing around, we need to follow the (updated as of 2000) natural progression for visiting other planets
1)if planet may contain life
2)wait for Mcdonalds to build thier first mars location
3)???
4)colonize!

ummm, avid dancer?? you want to run for political office and in your bio, one of the best things you can say is avid dancer?
Don't get me wrong,my first thought just like every red blooded male was "OOOOHHHHHHH YEAH!". How about Help the poor, or debate about how to fix the energy crisis"?
one of the last things I want to worry about is if you can do the tango during the debate for (insert fav. debate topic)...

That sounds, like, soooo way totally not a technical term

Good thing this guy doesn't work for SCO
Can you imagine paying $699 everytime you have to ctrl-alt-delete?

I have not yet read the comments, but I can say this for sure
IT DOES NOT RUN LINUX
I think it does run Tron (sp?) though

gotta love technology.. ten years ago they would have had to use midgets in your car with walkie talkies
Everyobody here has at least 30 or so, how about we concentrate on those coasters?
SCO declares Law of gravity invalid, as servers with linux use it to stay on the ground.
