MSFT still has backlog after shipping only 300,000 units
Just came home from CompUSA. They have a pile of Xbox's in inventory +50 or so. The demo machine is dead, due to overheating according to the sales guy. Xbox might be sold-out from MS but plenty in the channel.
Why haven't we heard from Apple regarding this? One of the main reason that you can't use inmates as cheap labor is that it will unfairly distort the economy. Why does this not apply to this "Remedy" They are the dominant supplier of platforms incl. OS to the educational sector. This proposal will severely hurt Apples business forcing them to counter act with price reduction. How can this Remedy be acceptable to them?
The school takes whatever they are told to TAKE!
Most teachers are not very computer litterate and can typically only use a few simple apps. The diminishing benefits of MS Office's latest functionality is of little consequence or value. They can use StarOffice, KDE office etc. just fine, and spend more money on whatever else the school needs.
It makes little to no difference what the German Constitution says. Look at the Garbage that they had in East Germany or any other Communist regime. On paper they had the most democratic and free society. In reality they had none.
Example From DDR's Constitution:
ARTICLE 8
(1) personal liberty, inviolability of the dwelling, post
office secret and the right to establish itself at any place are
ensured.
What Baloney.

Here is a Link for the ones like me that didn't know what PsyOps is.
Quote" Definition
of Psychological Operations:
'Psychological Operations: Planned operations to convey selected
information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their
emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior
of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.
The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce
foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator's objectives. Also called PSYOP. See also consolidation psychological operations;
overt peacetime psychological operations programs; perception management.

For those without Cable, outside the US or anyone else that haven't got a clue what this is. You can get a PreView using Morpheus or KaZaA. There is lots of MST3K floating around. Remember to buy the DVD if you like it.
That's excatly the reason they will not be sold in China/Hong Kong. Look at This TheRegister Story from today.
Quote
Microsoft's Xbox gaming console will not be sold in Hong Kong or China for the foreseeable future due to the rampant piracy problem in the region.
The company is selling the actual hardware at a loss - as much as $125 per box, according to Merrill Lynch - and plans to recoup profits on its software titles, much like the razor blade or printer cartridge industry.

You got this Ass Backward. The market decides what they will do, Then business live with that. If you raise price on a product that should follow Moore's law or close, expect to see your subscribers jump. Why do you think you need / deserve raises by the way. It that something Moses brought down with the Tablets?
Why all the MS bashing? If it wasn't for MS there would be no OpenSource.;-) Read today's TheRegister

The open source movement wouldn't exist without Microsoft, Bill Gates told his company's shareholder meeting earlier this week. Open source is also a follower, not an innovator, and destroys jobs, the economy and world peace (we made that last bit up).
The EFF is great and all, but, frankly, they don't have much of a presence in Washington
EFF might not have a lot of economic clout but if they can position themselves as significant Vote influencer this might change. Look at UCLA as an example (Full disclosure I am a card carrying member) they have established local chapters that directly debate with the local politicians. These guys knows that it only takes a few votes to alter the outcome of local elections, so their voice is heard outside the courtroom. Maybe EFF could do something similar.
This is not specific to Intel but a general phenomenon in the business world. One of the major strength of big companies is that they do not need anything near perfect hit rate to be very successful. You can read a bit more about this in Clayton Christensen's excellent book The Innovators Dilemma.
What they do need though is the ability to recognize the need for adjustments to the new reality as presented when something innovative comes along. Intel has been excellent doing the latter.
If you can put your CS on hold for a year and take Economics 101. Its fairly easy and what you learn the first year is enough. The following years are just same stuff with more Caveats. Then you will be in a much better position to understand and contribute once you get a CS job. Its will be a nice break from your current burn-out and immenently useful for you later.
Did he write that?
Yes, Its called "Our show for Ringo Starr" by Nemona Lethbridge and Vera Hunt a.k.a Graham Chapman and Douglas Adams.
You can find it in "OJRIL -the completely incomplete graham chapman" published by Barnes and Nobles ISBN 1-57488-270-8.
They are currently selling them for $4.98 "Special Value" deal in their bookstores. Any Python/Chapman/Adams afficionado should get this book, its a scream.
For humourous social realism reflecting the mindset of the early 60's nothing beats the Danish Author Leif Panduro. His topics were often the defects of the modern welfare state and the conflict between normal and abnormal. He introduced some of the absurdities we got to know later in some of the Python stuff.
Don't forget the pre-Hitchhiker stuff he wrote with the MontyPython crew. Try and get a copy of the "Its-man" that he wrote with Graham Chapman for John Lennon / Ringo Star. By the way the ITS-man is the guy that never gets to say more than ITS in the beginning of Python. They reverse the role in their screenplay and the guests on the show Lennon / Star never gets to say anything.
Way to go. Your way or the highway. I am sure your daughter is real pleased with your statement. Why didn't you at least buy her a calculator with AOS? RPN is to AOS what command line computing is to GUI. Both have their place but quite stupid to force your daughter to use Bash/Korn when eveyone else is using System X.
HP's calculator line is 5 - 10 years old. They have not made any investments in this area for years and just kept this going as long as it had a positive cashflow. Guess the business level finally fell below the breakeven point. If you don't put money back into the business it will die. Its amazing it took so long. They haven't even bothered to cost reduce the line.
What exactly is your point? You can cahnge the useragent to anything you want, even MSIE. The problem if we all do this the web masters thinks that the world is almost 100% MSIE and they have even less incentive to comply with standards.

The FBI is lying or at least giving themselves the benefit of doubt. The computer had speakers attached (know from other source that has covered the case) so the sentence in the affidavit "The FBI knew that when the modem was not activated the computer was not acting as an electronic communications device". How do the FBI know that the speakers was not outputting something that was send clear voice over the phone lines?
