I just did a Google search on "Nazi" + aliens and got a bunch of web sites too. Therefore the Nazis must have been in collusion with the aliens! The web said so.
So you think this "power at all costs" thing is pretty new huh?
I call bullshit. Also, how that translates to George Bush having Nazi like tendencies is beyond me. Are grandchildren exact copies of their grandfathers?
I disagree about the lack of funding. As a guy who lives in D.C. and runs into a lot of federal employees I can see what the problem really is.
I do agree that the agencies have been upsurped by the corps though. You can see all the ex-FTC employess who get a cushy job in private industry after they "retire" from public life.
Well, for what it is worth that is every corporations charter: to maximize their profit (shareholder returns for public companies)
The idea is that there are counterbalaces that keep them in check (the FTC, et al). Unfortunately most govt agencies are incompetant, so we reap what we sow.
"Likely won't result" doesn't cut it in the business world. No one is going to take a risk that can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of unexpected license fees.
That is what Dell is doing, they are telling their investors this to give the impression that their exposure is reduced. It is logical that any corporation will do the same by not purchasing Linux systems from Dell.
However, if SCO wins out Dell will still be on the hook for those licensing fees -- no matter what some PHB tells Wall Street. Expect Dell stock price to be affected by this, especially if SCO claims start looking stronger.
What he means by "geographical preferences" is such things like Japanese users prefer to use Mandrake, US users prefer Redhat, Germans prefer SuSE, etc...
The Windows world has no such preferences, everyone gets their one "distribution" of Windows, the only difference is the localization of the Windows OS (English, Japanese, Korean, etc).
Yes, and this would be true. You would need to comply with the DMCA in all matters concerning copyrighted material in the U.S. If the material is not copyrighted in the U.S. then it would not apply.
Yes, they must comply with the copyright laws of the countries represented in the covenant (US Copyright, France Copyright, etc). Why is this so hard for you to understand?
Yeah, keep making those excuses Mike, they have gotten you so far. So now its the immigrants are "better networked" and "willing to work hard and help each other" and the "rest of America doesn't remember [to help you]"
Of course it is a painful experience. They are moving to a new environment. WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE THIS TIME MIKE???
"Most immigrants are on welfare or in prison. Hispanics make up the majority of immigrants, and guess what, the majority of prisoners are hispanic, the majority of the people on welfare are hispanic, and most hispanics are poor"
Such racism. Do you really think so lowly of the hispanic population that you believe such drivel?
Yes, I am an immigrant, you bastard. You need to wake up and look around at your country, not just South Central L.A. or whatever suburban hellhole you live in. There are many immigrants in the U.S. every year and the vast majority end up not "in welfare or prison"
Of course, what can I expect from someone who actually thinks Howard Dean is the answer?

...Windows Update already automatically downloaded and installed the patches last night on all my machines.
And no, I didn't do a week of regression testting either.
Hitler was TIme Magazines Man of the Year too. What is your point?

Yes, it compares their sales results against their competitors in each market. For instance the Lager is #3 is .AU for all beers sold in .AU.

Dell will offer no protection? Well I guess that just sounded the death knell for their Linux based offerings.
Who would buy a system with this issue hanging over their head? Computers are uncertain enough as it is!
Annual reports. Fosters is a publically traded company so their sales data is available.
Poor Mike, he put a foot in his mouth in this one. Check out:

Its good to know the rest of the world isn't as sold out as Amerikkka and M$.
Well the lager is the #3 selling beer, so I guess if you limit it to that then australians still love their Fosters (lager) :-))

I'm glad I can help pay for your food. Its obvious your priorities are straight.

Nonsense. Fosters LightIce is the SECOND HIGHEST SELLING BEER in .au. Just check their annual reports. (VB is first)
Australians love their Fosters. It seems like you guys are the stupid ones.
