He's a criminal? Why don't you be more specific, that's quite an allegation there little buddy.
I'm glad you keep up with conservative culture though. You must listen to Rush to know what he stands for, right? To know why the show is the number one in talk radio? You know for sure right? Oh well, back to my Coulter-wanking...
A: That's because the Iraqis were hiding them.
Q: And that's why we invaded Iraq?
A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.
What? You think the world is so simplistic? There are 1000s of factors before an invasion:
Military resources- do we have the spare troops
Balance of power- how will the regions stability be affected?
Cost vs benefits- how much will it cost and is it a good value?
Public acceptance- does the American public agree?
Political considerations- what does the congress and the voters think?
Iraqi people, United Nations, NATO, Russia, E.U., China, Japan, all have to be in the loop.
Cabinet, Pentagon, CIA, Foreign intelligence, Foreign armies, Allies, Enemies, all must know and accept our actions.
Carriers housing thousands of men are moved.
The theater of combat is entered and the a war between nations ensues.
Bottom Line? War is not a simple decision. You are retarding yourself by pretending it is; or that it was decided capriciously. Millions of people around the world have made it happen. It could not have come to exist any other way.
(3) Demonstrate? Are you crazy? The only people who would demonstrate are spoiled guilty white kids in America. Who would demonstrate in Iraq? I think you're a secret Dennis Kucinich fan...
Just remember when Truman (a democrat) became the only person in human history to order the nuclear incineration of a nation? Now dance demonstrator boy, DANCE YOUR MERRY STREET SLUR.
Except without the M... (draw parallel to another great endeavor SDI)...
But seriously, when will these people learn. To invent something requires an inventor. No one is inventing DRM; rather it is a dark process of artificial ensemination via marketing and lawyers.
This is truly another nail in the coffin of video games development in the west (US, Canada, UK). Granted, there are still a few good ones, but maily just lifeless lawyer filled corporations like Activision, Acclaim, EA, etc. that drain creativity and punish refinement. Heck even our consoles are dying (US/Europe: Xbox, Phantom, N-Gage).
So its times like this I'm glad to be a fanboy of Japan! Sammi's taking over Sega; we got Capcom, Konami, Tecmo, Taito, Square/Enix, Sony, Bandai, Koei, etc!! And the consoles are awesome too (PS2, PSP, GBA-SP, DC, etc)!! I know I know, off topic; flame bait; but its the wave of the future we are just seeing evolution in action.
Actually, it's hard to see but many US hospitals are slowly moving away from M$. This is done in many cases because of IBM who come in and sell Linux for its openness and auditability; which is in demand in the wake of the HIPAA regulations.
I agree about the universities, Microsoft is doing the RIAA thing and trying to buy their way into the classrooms for a propaganda war. Sad really that this goes under the radar to most people.
Windows is a 'closed-source' system for wrecking computers stolen by a young American student in the early 80s and rejected by thousands of programmers working together across the internet.
Do you think the actual phone support reps will be in India? Just curious, not that its a bad thing... There have been a lot of slashdot stories about open source projects over there lately and it would seem to make sense.
We are a software development company for crying out loud! The IT fascists tell me I cannot use a CD burner; they tell me I don't need to replace my dead laptop battery; they will not disable the flawed spam filters on my mailbox even though I don't receive any external mail at work; they want me to go through them for training on perforce even though I think I get the concept as a developer; they want to pay $$$ for VMWare at our company when we get connectix for free via MSDN (to add to their power base at the expense of new equipment); they dont want hubs at our desks yet they refuse to give any employee more than 2 network drops; they have tried to steal my old computers from my desk claiming I don't need them; the list goes on!!
So ultimately, most of my time as a developer is spent getting VPs and Directors to override the IT pinheads. Very efficient...
that by declining your right to own exclusively your creation you violate the constitution; we would all be in violation of the constitution every time we DIDN'T: speak, own a firearm, practice a religion, etc.
what a bag...
oh by the way, i thought of a great way to spread chaos. what if an enterprising group of troublemakers

Purchase give something away as a promotion, and then make the recipient agree to give some of its worth back in AOL subscription revenue (or ad revenue for that matter).
It's a scheme to increase the amount of "cash coming in" to the company, even though more cash is going out to make this tiny amount come back in... a scheme to make this worthless craphole of a company seem viable to its shareholders.
I'll bet 10 to 1 that if it catches on, AOL will start using it as a platform for spyware.
I hear whining from people all the time about jobs going to India, but news like this I hope can make at least the real slashdot crowd aware of the good going on there.
India is a natural ally of the united states because it is one of the few stable democracies in the region. The people are diverse, smart, conservative, and could potentially join us with japan as the new rulers of the world.
This should be a strong deterrent to lawyers everywhere who want to mess with geeks and intellectual property lawsuits.
I mean, look at SCO, even with the money they have paid Boise and co., those lawyers heads must be reeling trying to understand all this stuff like NUMA and JFS and RCU.
Do you think the other petty ambulance chasers trying to sue the gun manufacturers and mcdonalds and philip morris want a piece of this?
And remember, the ultimate killing machine awaits, the geek-lawyer hybrid; available exclusively at IBM.
I've been doing this for years offline. Every single Crapitol One offer I receive in the mail I make 10 photo-copies of the business reply mail envelope and mail them all back. Those freaking bastards.
Unless you show me a specific pivotal moment, I say that it's just a number; granted maybe a higher number.
There are immense forces in play from all sides. Everyone in tech who wants bigger / faster / stronger tech. All the corporate cyclical suits. The war and the need for a smarter battle mind. The incumbant US political party, which needs to create prosperity and the challengers who pray for failures.
Make no mistake, the economy will grow as humans evolve further. The forces of this world will ensure a random and volitile ascention. This number is just a single point.
Maybe, if you are a homosexual pedophile who uses guns to forcibly rape children *THEN* the ACLU will jump in to action... After all, such people have hard times finding good lawyers and that's what the ACLU is all about, right?
Its like every article on there uses the word "jingoistic", just to give the impression that "its not propaganda because THOSE PEOPLE are propaganda"... as if Geraldo is some kind of conspiritor in the enslavement of the world to capitalism.
why do they make it sound like a republican plot? if you are a democrat out there, how many of you have assurances from your representatives that they will oppose diebold and any non-open source government initiative?
I thought about that at first, but then I said "no, it's a probe after all, not like its attached to anything external", "you're just bending over because they told you to".

Step one... stop bending over
Step two... remove Microsoft "probe"
