    Bah, an INT caster, just throw a tank on him to get his attention, then have a wizard nuke the piss out of him. ;)

    No, Microsoft did no such thing.

    Oh, they say they did and will. But read what they say they will do or won't do if certain conditions or circumstances are present.

    Microsoft's indemnification is a bunch of hot air.

    You obviously were looking in a mirror.

    And, you obviously did not read what Micorsift's indeminfication rules, loop holes and outs are for it.

    Pull your head out of your nether region, read what Micorsift actually wrote in their indemnification agreement areas and then maybe we will listen.

    Even if that was the case, the patent in question would still friggin' obvious and, as a result, no patent should have been issued.

    That's a bunch of bull.

    They can be fired, particularly if there is evidence that they are sabotaging the move to and use of the management decided e-mail system.

    Mark my words, any evidence of someone intentionally sabotaging this should be quickly documented and routed to the appropriate managers in the organization. From my view as a tax payer, such actions are wasting my tax dollars and the persons doing it should be severly dealt with, IMHO. And, as government employees, they can certainly be fired and/or demoted, transferred, etc. for failing to comply with organization policy and directives.

    I say, bring Billary on!

    She and the Democratic party will lose.

    I must point out that I am a proud card carrying member of the "Decline to state" party. I have problems with the two major parties, just different sides of the same coin, IMHO.

    This country needs a shake up politically, something that will break the back of the two parties in power that have the game rigged to keep them in power. However, I do not see it happening in my life time.

    I do have mostly conservative views, but have voted Libertarian a number of times and hold some Libertarian views.

  10. Re:Let me jump in here. on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    Nope, it's not the money they get when in office.

    It is the money they can exert control over and, once they are out of office, the money they can command for speaking engagements, books, etc.

    However, I do not think that the above applies to all Presidents or presidential candidates.

    Not voting for the one of the two entrenched, keep the status quo no matter which is in power parties, is not a thrown away vote.

    Vote for the candidate that you think will do the best job and party be damned!

    The two main parties, are just two sides of the same coin, IMHO, they take turns being the "bad guy" is all.

    K, rant noted.

    But how is the President responsible for you losing your job? What exactly did he do? Did he call your boss and order that you be fired or the President would make things very unpleasnt for your boss?

    Please, please explain exactly how George Bush being President directly affected you losing your job.

  15. Re: Well... on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    All I can say is, stop taking so much tax money from taxpayers for "social programs" and let taxpayers donate to those "social programs" they want to support directly.

    The government should not be in the business of "social progams", but should let "we the people" vote with our dollars, so to speak, what social programs they want funded.

  16. Re:More interesting *after* Halloween on Halloween Massive Gaming News · · Score: 2, Informative

    I agree in EQ II, but SWG sucked out of the box and for many many many months after.

    Last time I checked (May 2004), there were still problems with pets auto-storing, zoning, etc. at or near server boundaries, etc.

    I played a solid three months from two days after release, the giant nerf bat started whacking, and I left.

    I had an account for a while after still, checked in a couple of times to see what improvements were made. Was not impressed, the game is a bomb, IMHO.

  18. Paint Sho Pro far from "light duty" on Krita/KOffice Preview Version and Video Available · · Score: 1

    I have been using Paint Shop Pro since 1996.

    It has many features which make it easy to use for just about any level of computer literacy.

    However, it also has many other features which, for its price, gives PhotoShop a run for its money.

    I have created web site graphics, published science fiction book cover artwork, CD label artwork, animation frames for manipulation using Java, etc.

    Paint Shop Pro, at one point, was promoted directly (or via a person endorsing it) as "everything you can do in PhotoShop for $99.00". In my personal experience, this is and has been true of Paint Shop Pro since I started using it (version 5.0).

    It may only be "light duty" in regards to its ease-of-use, it has plenty of "heavy duty" features, plug-ins, filters, etc. to keep many computer graphic artists, animators, etc. very very happy. Again, this is all in my humble opinion, but based on my direct experience with the Paint Shop Pro and PhotoShop.

  21. Re:The 'hacktivists' are the fascists on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    Now, now. Check your facts please. Demoncrats and Republickans both are funded by large corporations, labor unions, special interest groups, vested interests, etc. Don't take my word for it, do the research for yourself.

    IMHO, Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin, they just take turns being the "bad guy" when one or the other is in power. It is all a scam.

    It would do the country a lot of good if neither of these parties controlled the House and/or Senate. Something meaningful might actually be accomplished.

    Also, I would like to see a limit on the laws that can be passed, like for every one law passed, they have to repeal two. But that is just a dream that will never happen.
