Chances are what he said is: "We only support Outlook." For all the people who want it through their AOL mail and bother the Tech Support with why they can't get it at home that way and want Tech Support to fix their home computers after they tell them how to get their work mail through the AOL client.
We used to give away old computers. This was until people wanted us to support the old giveaways at home like they were still on the premises and like they were still being used for work. That is not our job. That is our job for our families, like it is yours to get your mom's email on Thunderbird at home.
Now, if all the district used was Thunderbird (etc.) would you help someone who wanted to use Outlook at home for it or would you tell them it was not supported?
I'm sure they are. Just not to you. Because they know that until they ask you to pay it you will say you will pay whatever. Then when they ask, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet. Let me just Bittorrent it instead.
I just had to restart my Mac to install iTunes 5 and always have to for an OS update. Some security updates don't require a restart, but many of them do as well.

I could not agree more. Plus, I might also add, that one should not post while drunk, embarrassing oneself and making one look like an ass. The computer shall be closed when I have drinks in hand. Thank you.
Did Grokster matter to you?
Why not link to Wikipedia?
They are both the sewers of the Internet. Just because you mention Grokster or Wikipedia does not make your post important - and most likely makes it factually incorrect.
Tell me - would you link to Encarta if it wasn't run by Microsoft?
If you were teaching a beginner course, why not just omit telling them about the View --> Source option in browsers or teach them about the ethics of sharing/learning vs. copying/pasting?
I believe kids have been idiots for a very long time. Just like most adults. Not all adults grow up. I agree, if you treat a person like a criminal they will act like a criminal. Trust people until they give me a reason not to trust is what I go by. That doesn't mean everybody else does though.
I brought up the 90s because that is when it started making the news. It's when the guns and violence left the cities and rural areas and started impacting the "nice and quiet" suburbs. Before the 90s teenagers were expected to learn things and do things and to take responsibility for their actions, to learn to grow up and be an adult. But it was around this time that they became coddled and learned to skirt responsibility, lay the blame for their actions on anybody but them. They certainly took their cue from the adults of the previous generation very well.
I agree with your statement about the American and Roman Empires.
The rest though. Kids don't bring guns to school because of the way the system is. Kids bring guns to school because they are idiots. They are the ones who can't see past their microscopic sphere of non-influence. What, kids weren't picked on in school until the 90s? I don't think so. There are bullies and idiots in high school just like there are in college, at work, in the neighborhood you choose to move into.
and you'd better not not break any of the unwritten, unspoken rules or you will be detained, beaten, fined, and thrown in jail
And you better not think you are above all of these because people are just as tired of hearing people whine when they do these things and get the consequences for their actions.
Why would you even be closer to considering it if you have never even seen it? Doesn't matter where you live (in NYC or SF or LA) it seems you just like to complain about things you seem to have never even seen.
That makes sense. But you didn't create what Real did, they did. They are trying to sell something to you so that you can do it. They are not giving you directions on how to do it or the tools to do this, but are doing it for you.
So if you want to write something that will make Real songs play on your iPod go ahead. Real just needs to be upfront and say that their songs are incompatible with the iPod because of their DRM scheme.
I think that's only because the companies dupe people into subscribing to their service by ordering one ringtone. Since it takes time to see the charges on the bill and then cancel they do make some money.
I would say the point is more that if side x is going to dredge up what a person on side y said in the past and use that against them it's alright for side y to do the same for someone on side x that they disagree with.
Don't get mad when the other side starts to fight using your own tactics.
Yes. If the people they shell out the money to then give it to someone else and them to someone else. Yes I do.
Anytime I call up my wireless carrier, cc company, bank, or any of those companies and they ask for an updated contact number I tell them that I will give it to them if they don't sell or give it to anyone, in or outside of their company for marketing. They always tell me "we don't do that!". My reply is "If everyone doesn't do that then why the f... is my name and number on a list?"
Someone in the company is doing it. It's just a lot easier to blame subcontractors.

I stand corrected.
Doesn't/didn't iTunes have a request area? Maybe you can look for that and let them know. Just an idea.
I'm sure they are. Just not to you. Because they know that until they ask you to pay it you will say you will pay whatever. Then when they ask, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot my wallet. Let me just Bittorrent it instead.

Question - is it Intel that makes worms, bugs, trojans, etc. so easy to exploit a machine or is it the Operating System?
I wonder because 1) Doesn't Linux run on Intel systems? and 2) Doesn't Windows also run on AMD systems and still get infested?

That's true. Now if he was selling pot he'd already be hanged with our drug laws.
So it shocked you that:
72,000 people thought they could get something they can't easily get because they don't have an ailment.
There are actually sleazy doctors here in America.
That bad people might actually be in America too - and that they are dumb enough to think they would not get caught.
It is real easy to blame things on others, but really, we are just as sleazy as the rest of the world.
You forgot Google. Can't forget Google.
It's not about context. It's about being funny.

They didn't have portable shredders back in the 60s did they?

I hope not. Molestation and annoying people are two different things.
I'm impressed that they're asking for authorization.
I would say the point is more that if side x is going to dredge up what a person on side y said in the past and use that against them it's alright for side y to do the same for someone on side x that they disagree with.

The catch = Dell's crappy hardware
And most people who pay for delivery understand that when they order.
Don't want to pay an extra charge or pay a tip, get up and go to the place and pick it up yourself.
