...or out in Bush's case. He "won" through corruption and he will be voted out through corruption and the trecherous actions against civialians and democracy as a whole.
Bushie's popularity exploded not because of people approving of his actions but because they want to show that they weren't against their brothers, son's husband's or friends who were sent illegally overseas to fight against unarmed civilians.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Backward compatibility is death to the console market"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That wouldn't explain the immense success of the PS2 then would it? It may be the "death" of consoles that do not adhere to backward compatibility as a marketing strategy (game cube/x-box)... but it hasn't hurt the Play Station one iota.
My friend has a ATI Radeon All In Wonder 9700Pro and can play all the latest games. If I had a comparable Nvidia FX card I could play too. But I happen to have an original GeForce 256 (the 32MB DDR one at least).
The reason i can't play todays FPS's isn't that Nvidia isn't compatible it's that my card is too old and is obsolete.
I'll bet that the games will be backward compatible.
I guess alot of us have seen those images that were big a few years back: You know the ones where the ear was grown on the back of a rat, or the yyeeecchh penis on the back of a rat. Damn them. I hated seeing that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ What about all the people dropping melatonin like there is no tomorrow? (most melatonin is derived from bovine pineal glands.....ever hear of spongeoform encephalitis?)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mad cow doesn't come from cow's pineal glands. It comes from farmers using ground up cows as a food source for other bovines (cows). Humans get Mad Cow disease from eating the-cow-that-ate-the-other-cow, not from melatonin, unless, by chance, the pineal gland of that cow had been infected by said spongeoform encephalitis (same could be said of eating a goat infected with anthrax though, mmmnnnnn anthrax goat).
...Er... if they are still holding the bag by now, then they gotta o down with the ship of fools just like the ole' execs once the SEC gets their hands on them.
Plus no one stopped the other stock holders from selling.
Plus Plus,
Can't we make money by "reverse investing" against SCO? I heard that the Al Queda terrorists did this (reverse invested) against the airline industries major carriers, especially those directly involved in the skyjackings.
~~~~~~~~~~Their CFO started the $1.2 million sell-off just after the lawsuit." ~~~~~~~~~~~
...Yeah too bad he didn't start the sell off BEFORE they lawsuit. Then he'd be in some serious hotwater. Pump and Dump stock scam anyone?
alot of Spammers were doing this exact tactic (above) via stocks they were touting in their untraceable spams. Not to try and draw a comparison between disgusting tactics used by those bottom feeders and respectable businessmen at SCO or anything.
Thanks I made that up myself, you are either the first person to get it, or anyone else who gets it thinks it's "too Street" for their sensibilities...
Plus You QUOTED my sig and got Mod'd 2 points. I want those back!!!

I gots to send some Cheeba to me mate Shamus in wee Dublin.
I heard a guy from Walmart on the radio yesterday talking about how impossible it would be to start using RFID's on their products. He said:
1) It would take every semi-conductor company in the world 5-10 years just to cover Walmart's inventory.
2) They have no need to do this as there doesn't seem to be any incentive to the customers while adding a substantial cost to Walmart itself.
3) The substancial cost he stated was something like $0.30 - $0.60 per RFID tag. He said that in order to be cost effective they would have to be able to get the tags at a $0.05 per tag range.
All this means to me is that Walmart has done lots of research into this kind of "product enhancement. What I still can't figure out is WHY?
This won't prevent me from suing these buggers when I choke on a RFID tagged grapefruit.
I don't know why America's food producers would want to use these, once these foods are on the market then it realy isn't any of the producers concern what happens to the product except selling, and these little tags aren't going to help with that at all.
What about the fact that tech support (call centers anyway) are being exported overseas. I think that could drastically affect how you get service for the following reasons:
1) Language barrier: Let's face it, if they can't understand what you are telling them, you'll end up paying that dorky kid upstreet sooner than if you got someone from Alabama on the phone (also hard to understand but doable at least)
2) Cultural Differnces: Taking a break in the coversations to hork up a loogy isn't common in western cultures but I'm aware of several eastern ones where this is tolerated and even acceptable (not sure about in a work place though...) This is just one example but you get the idea.
3) time Zones: Nuff said, I can't be arsed to help customers in the broad daylight not to mention 4:30 AM.
4) Education/Training: I can't say for sure but I'm guessing that the third world isn't exactly top shelf when it comes to this.
5) Pay: They aren't paying people enough to live well otherwise these jobs would stay in North Am.
----ease the minds of worried parents and suspicious bosses than to enable unauthorised spying."
I don't authorize anyone to spy on me ever. There now they aren't allowed anymore. Unless it's my mom. THen it's OK, I'm pretty sure she won't dock my pay for spending the afternoon at the peelers.
Why is everyone talking about this guy like he has no right to sue for something he came up with that a VERY large company may very well ahve stolen from him (indeed a very educated judge thinks so based on evidence presented him in a scientific manner: court that is).
Does anyone here at SlashDot think for a second that companies like E-Bay or Yahoo were waiting for a judgement like this to start their own lawsuits based on their "patent portfolios"? Come on.
Yeah I hate those kids they send out these days just before the movie starts and they are there to tell you about the refreshments or upcoming simulcasts of WWe events. No one asks me if I want to hear them... wait we were talking about some jerk who was offering links to bomb-making equipment, he is a jerk, but I don't know if he needs to be sent to "become a really big criminal super jerk" prison.
I said it before on /.

Well sounds like someone told someone a Buzzword. If there was NO infrastructure, there wouldn't be a problem. The problem is the infrastructure they DO have. BTW is the dept. of Indian affairs there to keep secret the horrors the Indian people had to suffer under the Imperialist conquerer's the early Americans were? Ooops just let the secret out, you can keep the firewall budget for the lawsuits.
