I think what you will never get over is your own arrogance. Your fellow American's are decent and hardworking people who don't all agree. I know as many truly bright and well-informed people who voted for one candidate as well as the other. Both parties are filled with "powerufl, wealthy.." people. How many poor people are in government? Both candidates had or had access to more money than God. Our system works better than anything else.
It would have to be a business decision regarding how to most quickly recover their development and marketing costs. I don't know that they particularly cared much which platform it debuted on so long as they can get on the road to profitability as soon as possible.
I would have thought that the PC market would have been bigger than the PS2 market but if that were the case, I think they would have started with the PC.
I can imagine the development costs were up there though I don't think it will take long to recover those costs. Then, they can begin to work on PC, XBox, Mac, and whatever other platforms they choose to support.
The article was not specific about how they were dressed so they could have been dressed in a manner that was more specific to a character or perhaps dressed as you suggested. You can't be sure without more detail.
I have stuck with Kingston and Viking over the years and have not had a bad module yet. I have heard that PNY is pretty good but when I worked for resellers we generally had a fair amount of bad PNY memory modules. Kingston can be found on sale and then you can apply coupons and rebates to get their memory down to a pretty good price.
I can see why you would be jealous of the U.S. considering how Canada has so badly marginalized itself with socialist government after socialist government.
I live about 50 miles from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C. and I live about 10 minutes from Fort Detrick. In my travels around these areas including the three airports I cannot say that I have been affected by the Patriot Act and I don't know anybody who has been. This could obviously change any day now but so far, so good.
You are hopelessly socialistic and very antagonistic. It is quite "in" to be anti-American these days and you are on that bandwagon in a big way. It takes free speech to be anti-American so no, I am not confusing the two. You set up numerous straw man arugments and then dare someone to debate with you. If Kerry wins, then you will find Republicans taking the same pot shots at you from afar where it is safe. I suspect you are fairly young from the tone of your post. If you are not fairly young, then you have grown up poorly in wisdom and judgement.
I use Adaware SE and SpyBot which I run manually once a week, each. I have Webroot's Spy Sweepter which stays in memory and provides a good level of "live" detection. Between the three programs it has been a long time since I've had a adware/spyware program on my desktop. However, it has only been through the use of all three that I have gotten to this point. I haven't found a program that will accomplish this by itself, either free or for fee. PC Magazine ran a comparison of spyware removal programs recently and came to about the same conclusion. They did rate AdAware SE as the best program, though.
The article is a press release by WhenU. I googled Aluria and WhenU and came up with a ton of hits from a user point of view. Spywareinfo.com, for example, has this to say: Aluria Software has partnered with the WhenU adware company as well as giving WhenU a "spyware free" certification.
In light of this new relationship between these two companies, I can no longer recommend Aluria Spyware Eliminator to my readers.
Here is an article that discusses how Kool, Smith uses data mining techniques to find patent violations. This is apparently the focus of their practice and the article mentions some of their clients.
To give you an idea of where they are coming from, and it's purely money, here is the title of another article featuring McKool, Smith: Patent field yields high-tech gold"
I think that tells us that we will see more and more of this.
While you're at it you can blame Bill Clinton for having no U.S. manufacturers of flu vacine. He made it so easy to sue that they won't do it here. So, they do it overseas and then sell it to us at even higher prices. That made it okay for Bill.
That's a disingenous argument and best and a logical fallacy at worst. You setup a strawman argument rgarding the "junta" and then use that to justify your stance. You need something substantative if you want to convince people of your point of view.
When I started in the industry in the fall of '83 there were some "windowing" things out there, and then, soon after, the first Mac, the 128K "skinny mac" came out. I remember when the nice folks from Quarterdeck came out to demonstrate their windowing app that sat over DOS. It crashed throughout their attempt to demo it to us and it never worked that day. They finally gave up and left. My favorite memory of those times in my reselling days was when a startup company called Novell came to call on us asking if we would sell their stuff in the government. Our VP said that networking was a "fad" and nobody would ever have a need to connect pc's together. Shortly thereafer the owner overruled him so we did not entire miss that boat. Those were very interesting days...selling IBM XT's with a 5MB hard drive (megabyte, that's correct) for $9,995 and a three to six week waiting list to get one.
I am a new Linux user (21 years of Windows first) and ended up using Ubuntu because it installed easily and supported all of my hardware as well as detected the shraed volumes on my home network. The screen sots of Mepis look pretty slick. I am tempted to install it just to see what it is like though I don't really want to have to go back and re-install Ubuntu. Has any installed Mepis and Ubuntu that could comment on the differences?
Damn, but that is well written! I can't think of something better to set in front of a prospective Linux user. It is concise, easy to read, pleasant, and just detailed enough not to make the reader feel like an idiot. I have saved the whole thing to a word doc as well as a pdf to send to friends who are thinking about Linux.

Do Mac owners have utilities for checking spelling?

Get over it.

No so. It is a fallacious and disingenuous argument.
I can see why you would be jealous of the U.S. considering how Canada has so badly marginalized itself with socialist government after socialist government.
You have evidence that the world is going to be turned into a complete police state? Evidence, not your opinion, but evidence.
That hasn't happened and it is only your opinion that it will. You need to argue from facts rather than pseudo-straw man arguments.

Interesting, I have the same experience with people who work at Staples.

What's the point? In SlashDot you are preaching to the choir. The few of us that are republican, hold our positions as dearly as you hold yours.
That's a disingenous argument and best and a logical fallacy at worst. You setup a strawman argument rgarding the "junta" and then use that to justify your stance. You need something substantative if you want to convince people of your point of view.
You're correct, I stand corrected.

I don't think it is necessary for you to repeatedly go over this ad nauseum forever do you?
What an irresponsible thing to say.
