The stock market is up. So is prison population. It's like playing, who's your favorite murderer? Manson, or Bundy(not Al)? And yet I won't blame them. We are the suckers, and they're having a good laugh on their way to the bank. We have left ourselves with the choice of getting hit on the head with the hammer, or kicked in the balls. What'll be? Think about it; Hillary vs. Jeb in '08. Eeny, meeny, miney. moe...Who's more crooked? I don't know. Well, a lot can happen in two years. Here's hoping it does.

Maybe Microsoft could spent more time properly engineering their software in the first place to make it worth buying, and less time trying to keep legitimate owners from "stealing" it?
But the real majority of their time is spent making the icons look pretty. And their documentation ain't too shabby either.
Oh stop! Microsoft WANTS their software to be pirated. If they didn't, every copy would come with a hardware dongle, the way the Mac OS does. End of story.
Will this mean that they won't have to answer to the US governmet when it makes a "request for information"? Or are they just going to go along because the government is conducting a "criminal investigation?
But blogger-journalist Rebecca MacKinnon argues that by creating a government-maintained list of "Internet censoring countries", the law falls short of calling for support of free speech in all countries...
I certainly hope that it includes the US, the preachiest country in the world when it comes to the issue of free speech.
Campaign politics so early in the season. It's still about protecting the bottom line.

By the same token, how can the republicans put up a complete nincompoop and still win an election?? I seriously do hope that the voters will perform a bit more complete background check on the people they put in front of the camera next time around. You know, that is if they still have any respect for the office. You show respect by putting respectful people behind the desk, not corrupt, smooth talkin' bubbas and drunken fraternaty brats who could never hold a job without daddy's help.
It turns out that the republican gay page scandal was with held from the public in it's extent by a democrat untill just before the election.
Ah, yes. The old "What did he know and when did he know it?" trick. Works every time. But you gotta admit that as long the republicans go around yelling and screaming about morality, they will always be open to these kind of attacks, and why there was little reason to get upset over Bill playing "have a Habana" with Monica. The best place to nail the democrats is over civil rights, since they're so preachy about that, then give us DMCA and the attempt to "clipper chip" us, and a big part of the patriot act. Morality and civil rights are nothing more than buzzwords. Only the voters actually believe in that stuff, but not enough to vote for righteous people, because they've been promised a pot of gold and a chicken in every garage. And the politicians give eloquent speeches while stuffing their pockets. BAH! The whole bunch can go to Hades.

Stick with the first one. If the blades are vertical (not all that new in itself), then the condensate can simply run down into a collector. Also note that this condensation will warm the air ever so slightly, contributing to global warming:-)
Without copyright law, the GPL wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
*sigh* Here we go again. Without copyright law, the GPL doesn't NEED a leg to stand on. It wouldn't NEED to exist. It can rest in peace. All exclusivity is removed. You cannot take the code away. You can't keep it for yourself once it's out. There would be no law to protect that. And real progress would become a reality, instead of a once every model year event. "Yes sir. Drive the New Plywood Fury! With a two barrel carbon-maker and a brand new gladiator! This year with 63% more transparent windshields and the new wonda-weave fabric seat covers, built for the new millennium." - THAT is what copyright has given us. Of course the rest of you are convinced we would still be pulling ox carts without it.
Well, I was trying to stay away from hillary in particula(r)...
Oh, no. Don't avoid it. Definitely not. This whole article is about her. We need to hammer hard now before she gets all of mass media to devote all their time to her to exclusion of everybody else. We need to keep her in the for-front for the time being, while desperately looking for a charismatic(UGH!) alternative, and make people aware of the danger before she reaches the proverbial "critical mass" and is easily able to push others aside. Oooh boy, I suspect she's going to be a mean one. She will treat it every bit like a war, and her orders are "shoot to kill". Her rise in New York politics needs a real close look. You just don't get that far with an honest day's work. Not that quick. Nothing good can come of this. Unless of course it forces to voters to actually investigate their future presidents. We barely do a credit check at this point. Even then we ignore the results. McDonalds employees go through a deeper background check. They can make a nuclear bomb in their back yard, but even the CIA can't reproduce the "secret sauce" (That's not McDonalds, is it? Oh well, the idea is there)
Her first BIG lie of the new campaign: "I was misled." Uh huh...Yeah, and my momma's a four time virgin. My god, to think people are to going believe that...Rush is going to get plenty of material from her, and the suckers will be running to her defense. It could actually assure her the nomination. As far as women for president in general, I tend to think that maybe a matriarchal government could be better for us all. I don't think they would turn every business deal into a fight to get out of paying a debt.
No matter what happens, if the party(or either of the two parties if that's what you believe) wins the election again(a 95% certainty) nothing is going to change. And talk radio will continue to top the ratings.
Regardless of whether we are ready for a woman president. Hillary is definitely the wrong woman. She's a brute, just like the rest. If we want a woman president, we should find one that thinks like a woman, not one that just trying to be "one of the guys". Her "stand" on privacy is just another ruse, and looks like it has half of Slashdot fished in. I guess that means it's working. Just watch how any posts that criticize her are modded. She's a beast and should be sent back to Arkansas. If she wins the nomination, it's just more proof that nothing was learned over the last eight years. It will remain "business as usual". If I decide it's worth it, I'll post some evidence. In the meantime look at her voting record, and maybe some of her real estate deals, and what the hell, her sex life, too. You never know. She could have a "back-door bubba".
...that means that a jackpot advertised as $15 million comes out to a lump sum of about $4.6 million.
That's ok. I'll take it. It's $4.6 million more than I have now. I should be able to hire an accountant to handle the paperwork, and still have $4.5 million left over.
Why would anyone be swayed by a candidate's stand? We've seen candidates "stand" for "no new taxes" and "limited government". ?? This is as if this woman is specifically trolling Slashdot. "The voices in the TV" are talking to me. If you guys fall for this, then I can safely say that you have crossed the event horizon. This woman has a past that every bit as entertaining as the Bush Family's. Well, all I can say is that she's definitely covering all her bases. (And they belong to us?)
...she even did joint sessions with Newt Gingrich
That can be taken two ways. Does Bill know about this? Anyway, it hardly makes me feel any better about her "stand".
..Clinton's regime...
I couldn't put it better myself. Just more of the same. BAH! HUMBUG!
Well, either you are arguing about words or you are arguing about ideas.
No, I simply quoted the dictionary. It pointed out quite clearly that you don't necessarily need the law to describe fraud. I don't have a clue what you're talking about in this regard, maybe because you make no sense.
...but again irrelevant to the point of the flaming you started out with.
I supppose you could call pointing out one's same hypocrisy that we accuse our government and corporate leaders of something like that. That's a good way to avoid actually thinking about it. For me, it just provides more understanding of why the world is degenerating into the mayhem you see today. It explains how morons and criminals get elected to high office. It's hypocrites against hypocrites, cheaters fighting cheaters. In reality, from my point of view it's pure entertainment. I derive the same joy watching this as I do from watching the poor fools stuck in freeway traffic from my apartment window, all yelling and screaming and blasting their horns. It's like watching the monkeys on Nat Geo flinging their poo at each other. It seems that people get upset when I point that out. At first I got angry, then I pitied them, now all I can do is laugh.
In the case of DRM,* the worthiest undertaking may be to climb the corporate ladder; and effect change from the top down.
I believe that method usually doesn't work all that well. First is the age old case of the oppressed becoming the oppressor. And just as old is the addiction to and the intoxication derived from power. And "top down" is a just a reminder of the failure of trickle down economics...for those being trickled on.
