It's called the tyranny of the majority, and it's been a catalyst for oppression for hundreds of years.
It's why you - the US - and many countries with like values wrote something called the Constitution.
I suggest you perhaps study it sometime.
As far as making for a more enjoyable browsing experience; I have to give you that! Let's not take things too far however, lest you find yourself in that minority one day.
If the linux gui community really want to impress me, they need to fold both KDE and Gnome, and go talk Jobs into letting them develop a Tiger port to the PC.
If I buy a t-shirt with a swoosh on it, does Nike pay me advertising royalties? Does that not break a social contract?
Do sites that use technology designed to FORCE MY COMPUTER TO DO THINGS I HAVE TOLD IT NOT TO, like show pop-up windows - I'm talking to you firefox blocker evaders - not violate the "social contract"?
Nothing has changed, except when I pick up the phone and call halfway around the world, both parties can immediatly know what time it is.
...and yet you still managed to wake him up from bed because you forgot that his schedule didn't change either, the earth is still round and it's still the middle of the night over there.

Videotron is own by Quebecor, who own most of the labels (or distribution rights) in Quebec.
No surprise they take that stance.
"Your comment is imflammatory, inappropriate and offensive." So are most of the things you stand for. Deal with it. We do.
Thanks to NAFTA
I knew I heard that somewhere before!
Some of us perfer to judge the character of a man on a lot more than the size of his wallet.
Bush wouldn't really give a damn about it.

"there are gay women, gay blacks, gay hispanics, gay indians, and gay men"
Apparently only white folk register to you as "men" or "women".

Clearly, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
that says more about your insistance on token ring than it does about windows.
It's 2005, If you can't afford the wires at least make the move to wi-fi.
Your users must hate you.
Pretty friendly there, I'd say.
One service pack added IE 6.
Another service pack added the security center and a firewall.
Another (way back when) Embedded IE into the OS.
It's a fair comparison.
I don't really give a damn.
I laugh at "patriotic Americans" pay $25 a month for dial up though.
Seriously...
The only reason I'd consider a RAID for a personal desktop (as opposed to a server - to which fault tolerance becomes a whorthwhile issue) is speed.
I've never known Mac's to be hurting for HDD transfer speed in the same way windows boxes do... they tend to lag in RAM instead.
Even with mirroring, I wouldn't consider that safe back up, so "external" backups are still a must.
like using a '?' to end a question, which it is.
In case you haven't noticed, in a lot of cases, the scarcity is artificial.
Think: Why is it we already produce enough food for the world to eat, but people are still starving, and we still pay $1.50 for a loaf?
The scarcity is by design.
...religious fundamentalist society...
India is a democracy. Sure they have their issues, but 50 years ago a black man in the US couldn't use certain water fountains.
Not all brown people are religious fanatics.
unlimted economic prosperity = everyone is weathly = no one is poor = bye bye capitalism = not gonna happen.
Would be nice though.
sven's old riding?
Did you think before you wrote that?
Nothing has changed, except when I pick up the phone and call halfway around the world, both parties can immediatly know what time it is.
so under your plan I have to adjust my watch a few minutes every damn day?
That sounds wonderful.
Because I live in Canada.
But the real fun will begin in a few years when VOIP, combined with free WI-FI seriously impacts the telecom giants.
Then we'll see RIAA vs. the people all over again (Save me the "Copyright is theft" rant).
I'm keeping me fingers crossed, but experience tells me this is going to be a massive legal mess.
