It's sad, but I have to admit in a vendor meeting I asked a clueless vendor if their next product upgrade would allow us to "leverage our synergy". After several minutes of conferring with his fellow salesman, he answered,"That's really the main feature we'll be promoting. We never saw them again. I'm still wandering around without my synergy leveraged.
Wow. Here in Maine 4.2 million (yes million!) credit/debit cards were compromised by Hannaford Brothers, a grocery store chain. The company knew about for months, but never told their customers. Here's the latest news: http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=183060&ac=PHnws
If you have to announce to people that something isn't dead then it is DEAD. I have to take credit for killing HD-DVD. I bought a Xbox Hd-DVD player and the next day Warner dumped the format. Microsoft, uncle already! So when is the Xbox Blu-Ray player coming out and are they exchanging them for the HD DVD players?
They're enterpreneurs learning the "American Way". It's not the little darlings' fault! Their teaches are too busy using the school's technology to access porn instead of making interesting AND inforative lesson plans.
At least that's what the message will be IF she's convicted.
BTW, if she had killed one of her students, she would probably be out in 7 years. I bet she'll end up wishing she had thought of that. Again, IF she's convicted.
But IF she's convicted, how many years do we have to wait before little Jimmy is able to use the "my teach broke my fragile little mind by feeding me porn in school" defense to beat his murder rap?! IF she's found guilty it will only be a matter of time.
The only way this would have merit IMHO, would be if her home PC was full of pornography and had several bookmakrs for porn.
Her best defense would be if the spywareand related porn in question WASN"T on her home PC.
I know why he's REALLY mad. Every FPS that involves Germans and/or Nazis, ends with all the members of the master race dead. Start rewriting history and have a couple FPS where the Germans win and Germany will sponsor tournaments. No Russian or NATO countries need apply though!
But this tax could easily expand to other area of our lives. Why not have every motor vehicle pay a $100.00-400.00 speed tax? The logic would be, "We know everyone with a car or truck speeds, but we can't catch all of you. So this fee is the speeding ticket you really desire."
This type of logic could make the Big Mac tax moot. The government could charge all of us for not eating well or exercising. Come on you know you skiopped a workout or cheated on your diet at least once this year!
This needs to be shot down early. If private companies can claim fiscal damages without proving it then why wouldn't the government eventual morph the argument to create sets of new fees based on assumed "bad behavior".
Where a dying American soldier from Boston sighs, "but there wasn't suppose to be any contact. Yet, he shot me. Mommy, why?! I did everything I was told to do."
Elsewhere a foreign remarks, "Wow! You were right. They walk right up to you. This conflict shouldn't last too long."
In other news, Joe Pedophile, Principal of the local elementary school announced that his decision to ban paper in school was NOT made in haste. "Listen up people. This stuff is dangerous. Just this morning I cut myself and I've been involved in education for over 30 years! There's no money in the budget to train people to safely use it, so I'm forced to ban it. The good news is that sissors are out too. We no longer need them."
This just in breaking news, 300,000,000 Americans sign a class-action lawsuit against the paper industry, citing the industry's history of marketing an unsafe product to minors. Sissor and paste makers were listed as co-conspirators.
I'd smile, but I can see this happening.

Is there an Open Source Air Traffic Control System that could be hacked to work on a playground? Of course, the screens would be manned by under-paid, drug abusing, union workers, but that can't be all bad. Can it?
Luckily my Sony cell phone has a built-in radio. So I can hear where the carnage is, get to it, photograph it, and e-mail/IM it to CNN. Wow! Without a radio, I would just be wandering around blind. Thanks technology!
Plus think of all the people you'll put out of their suffering by running them over. Not to mention the 6 foot wide path you'll cut through the fleeing masses.
Find one with satelitte TV, a PS3, wii, and a xbox 360 and I'll take shotgun!
I heartily agree. I burn DVD's for my DVD player. Before this service was announced, I assumed that was what my DVD player was for! I especially like the part where it removes all your purchases if you uninstall the player. Whenever the player doesn't work the FAQ probably says to remove the player and reinstall. Ooooops.
I didn't see the PSP on the device list either. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate this service a perfect ZERO. Next!
I don't know why, but your posting has left me hungry for a W.O.P.R. I guess I'll head to Burger King or NORAD for lunch.
Will someone please arrest/sue Matthew Broderick's co-stars. They were the ones that told us all about the "back doors". An obvious national security breach.
Why don't we ban children! They seem to attract the worse kinds of people and some even grow up to think for themselves. I heard someone say teh other day that they (children) get older and make more kids. It's a vicious cycle that needs to be stopped.
You obviously have never seen "Village of the Damned"! Those children were extremely gifted, but in the end they were destroyed for the good of mankind.
Or simply put.. If you like ID, chances are you are a Star Wars fan and you think you have found a way to live in that universe. If not you're a Star Trek fan who REALLY believes in science.
Question, what do I need to do to qualify for the Nobel Prize for ID? Believe I won?

It's called GroupWise and it runs on Suse Linux Enterprise Edition. It does everything Exchange does, except run random vbscripts!
