They aren't criticizing. They are advertising. It's nothing more than lame parody, probably by Microsoft itself. At the very least paid for by them. And doubleclick keeps marking up the hits. Genius!
Gee, are we going to see Clinton bashing spin stories once Hillary wins the White House?
Well, let's not forget the encryption debacle under the previous Clinton administration, and ITAR's effect on the Mac G4 when it came out. And yes, I truly hope we do NOT see a Hillary presidency. That will be a disaster equal to, if not surpassing Bush's. In fact, all the present front runners will bring about the same result. They all spell trouble with a capital T.
Taxi then. They'll even wait out front for you, with the engine running. Just remember, many of them off duty cops looking for a little extra income. You may have to give him a cut.
You are right, though, remember that pic is a jpeg. And it's very tweakable. Using it looks a lot better, but it's no substitute by a long shot. My PC is fairly tricked out with lots of RAM, two drives, etc., but it's still a PC. Even with the Linux, I still prefer my office Mac mini. There's nothing like the real thing (baby), and it has Unix, too. Can't beat that with a stick. I just took a cheap shot at the pictures. Hell, it's just out! Obviously it deserves every chance. And I'm more than willing to jump in and learn a little about interface design. Right now it looks very Gnome like. A little lip stick, some eye shadow, and who knows? Maybe I can make this inflatable feel a bit more like a RealDoll:-)
Sorry, I don't mean to disparage your choice of window dressing...
No problem. I recognize that it just that, window dressing, but I gotta be able to pretend a little. It helps me stay in touch with my "inner Mac". And in many ways, I do like Linux file management way better than Apple's, which is where my real complaints are.
I, myself, can understand the concern when the efficiency of the government becomes paramount above all else. It is well known that without some kind of control that there will be abuse.
Take the bus or a train. Look at the bright side. If you get into a wreck, nobody can ever sue you for it. In fact just the opposite, it's like no fault insurance, you get to sue them no matter who caused it, and the medical coverage is somewhat automatic. How can you lose? Think of the money and hassles with the DMV you'll save besides.
I thought the same thing. It looked like a trip back to 1998. For a Mac lookalike, I use Baghira and rearranged the window buttons. This is their screenshot. Now that looks like a Mac!
It seems we are overly obsessed with throwing people in jail lately.
That's because the prison industry is a growing enterprise. There's much profit to be garnered from prison labor and the infrastructure needed to maintain it. It has the plus of being domestic. You'll have a lot more "Made in the USA" tags on Walmart products. Expect a lot more of this in the future. There's not much sympathy for prisoners, especially since so many are not "good ol' boys", and it doesn't matter why you are in there.
Ne need. He has made himself quite clear already. I don't need to see any more of that dribble than I already have. He's just trolling for dollars. Never can tell if it's serious over these types of forums, but unfortunately, people do actually believe in this crap and millions are murdered because of it. He's just another animal marking his territory. He punishes people for being born in the wrong place and for being the wrong color. A real human doesn't believe in such nonsense. A real human knows true freedom and would never deny it to anybody in such an arbitrary fashion.
Remember, there was a time when Americans were British.
There was a time when there was a balance of power.
As for the "right to travel" that isn't a basic human right recognized by any country on this planet.
Lack of recognition does not invalidate a right.
I have no real idea what the USA's involvement is.
Yes. You have made that perfectly clear. You have no idea.
Bah! Keep your damn blinders on. Your antipathy is boundless and quite tiresome. Looks like Canada has plenty of rednecks, too. That to be expected in "fairly well off countries" while enslaving those outside its border for their own benefit through things like weapon sales to oppressive governments to make sure their resources remain freely available. Life is nice on the right end of the big stick. It's good to be king, eh? Off to Hades with you.
Maybe, if, for example, Mexico wasn't so back-asswards and corrupt they would put their foot down on illegals who get deported back to Mexico...
Maybe, possibly, if, for example, the US wasn't meddling and propping up the corrupt Mexican government for its own personal gain, those illegals you so flippantly disparage would be more than happy to stay home with their families, instead of risking abuse and death just trying to keep them alive. Yours and all borders are nothing more than global Jim Crow laws. Despite all the eloquent talk they exist solely to keep the slave trade alive. And another thing, despite the overt violations practiced by all governments and the general attitude of the general population towards these atrocities, all people have a right to travel and live where they please. Unfortunately none of the weaponry throughout the whole world is being used to protect those rights, but freedom to travel is every bit as inalienable as that of the right to speak freely, and we have an obligation to enforce these rights.
...plagued by undocumented, often unqualified labour forces.
Please! Spare us the racist pap. Unless you're working for the Klan, that's not helping anybody's cause either.
Well, at least he got away. Luckily he wasn't sent on a plane to Gitmo. For the rest who probably should stay away for their own safety, there's always tele-conferencing. The US has become hostile terrortory. Please hold the event in Canada(maybe) next time. Or just est up a bunch of cameras and monitors in the stadium and everybody can participate safely from their homes...if they're not Americans, or probably Germans (KisMAC) as the case may be.
BS on the calculators. I'm an engineer, and a good RPN calculator is my wingman...Meanwhile I have a job I'm being paid to do, and I can't spend my days calculating tables of thousands of numbers by hand...
I take it you didn't notice the part where I said: *...in business I can understand the need for speed. In school either do it in your head or write it down.*
Maybe a set of reading glasses is in order, or Command(Mac) Control(PC) and + to make the font a little bigger:-) No biggie. Happens to me also.
I just have to baby my HP-28S until I retire.
Makes me wonder what kind of calculator they used to build the Hoover Dam, or Empire State Building(which they built pretty fast BTW, even by today's standards), or the Golden Gate Bridge, or to launch Sputnik or Mercury. Maybe their trick was to use big rooms full of people. I know it's a bit gimmicky looking, but would this not be suitable, in case you have to put off retirement for a while longer? And can't these damn computers design themselves yet? Or are those 10 million gates just for another Gameboy? Sorry. Kinda slipped. Just makin' fun. Everybody, drinks on the house... Now go home and get your effin' No.2

Oh, somebody will make a much worse punishment for that. They'll keep the guy alive forever.
That was an armory, not a library.
So if I produce something off key, I'm safe?
Are you saying it's better to leave it in the hands of the...conspirators?
It's pure flamebait, right down to ad hominems and poop jokes at the expense of his target.
Pull my finger

I guess if Rove & Co were living in ancient ages, they would have made sure that any reference to catapults were removed from Library of Alexandria?
Naw, he'd just burn the place down.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the instances where I disagree with the ACLU....Can't side with you.
Hmmmm... maybe you just need a slightly more convincing argument

Heh, you kids sure had it good. High tech for me was a BIC pen/spit ball shooter.
Daisy wheel? What's that?

Love your site BTW...very inspirational.

Better not to have the blueprints than let the enemy have them.
Is that code for "keeping your wife out of your porn collection"?
It sounds rather satirical itself. The mere mention of it could get you locked up.

Patent a process, not an idea.
No, no, no. Patent a machine, not a process nor an idea.
You know, I've been somewhere else where they don't let you decide what you want to drink: Red China.
They got an Olympia Cafe there, too?
