From the perspective of someone who, at the risk of killing my ego, is in group two, why are stored procedures a good thing? I have a feeling that my later level database design courses in college will tell me, but I'd like to know.
USPTO grants hundreds of thousands of patents that only have a use in litigation to large companies, at patenting prices that only large companies can afford.
Large companies use patents to crush competition, non-profit or otherwise.
Fixes security issues Q1075635 and Q1156037, resolves several incompatibilities with NGCSB and legacy apps, deletes all non-Microsoft software on system, enhances firewall.
Yep. I'm "required" to have a valid address in my domain listings, which is of course:
Uberm00 N/A N/A, Ontario N/A Canada
Oh, and of course my phone number, which you can all reach me on, is (602) 555-5555. Apparently GoDaddy doesn't like a 555 area code and changed it for me:^)
Why do you expect that large companies, the ones who benefit most from the DMCA, would want their politicians to overturn a bill as beneficial to them as the DMCA?
What we have here is a small service vendor that wanted to repair its clients' products, and a huge company that wanted to overcharge to repair them itself.
The DMCA was CREATED for these large companies. Record companies, computer companies, you name it. It allows them to completely control their products beyond anything the owner wants to do with them, simply by claiming that the owner is "circumventing copyright control mechanisms".
You know what the DMCA really is? It's a way to extend software end user licensing agreements, which say that you don't actually own what you purchase, to physical and other abstract products.
And to get rid of it, you guys in the US need a huge government change that I doubt is going to happen soon, even with the election.
I'm beginning to casually mention that I use Firefox on my tech support calls now, and giving out the URL to its product page. I would say Internet Explorer problems related to spyware installed in the browser make up at least 30% of the calls I take for HP / Compaq desktops, probably more like 40%.
And the parent's comment is correct: very few of my callers have any idea that there are other browsers out there that don't have the problems they're calling in about.
Of course they're justified. I'm glad that the US military (as an ally of Canada) is taking appropriate measures to protect against bugs in their security meetings. It's nothing against Coke.

Do you honestly think Microsoft wouldn't put preemptive multitasking in a new version of Windows? That would be feature (and usefulness) suicide.
The blue screen of death's colour actually isn't constant ;^)
Nothing, but he's correcting the assumption that Apple has already been there, when they haven't. This would be a first.

- Software companies buy senators.

- PROFIT!
No ??? necessary.Patents.
/me notes the words "at work" which means he doesn't have install rights (and if he did, he'd be using Firefox anyway ;^)
BAH!
I got 9/10 when I could have gotten 10/10 at home only because I was forced to use IE because I'm at work! >:^(
Agreed.
;^)
To me, it's pretty simple. The RIAA is evil. I'm not going to support an evil organization.

Not IMAP, but you can get POP access to Gmail through PgtGM. Not sure how much Google likes it though ;^)

And the match has started!
The competitors are circling each other... and...
OH NO! Internet Explorer has been hijacked by spyware! It's down for the count!
Umm...

Hotmail recently gave users 250MB of storage. If that's not directly related to Google starting Gmail, I don't know what is

I have GoDaddy mentioned all over my Whois lookup result.
Why?

I agree. Any school that wouldn't build an online course to standards, especially a technical course, doesn't deserve my consideration.

Hmmm...
Click for cool stuff!
Or, y'know, don't >_>
This BIOS feature is pretty interesting. Does anyone know if any new motherboards and BIOS chips do this nowadays?
Of course they're justified. I'm glad that the US military (as an ally of Canada) is taking appropriate measures to protect against bugs in their security meetings. It's nothing against Coke.
