You know, I have to agree with this. If anyone here is more fluent in the Bible than I am, please quote some passages which I hope suggest what Im saying. In the begin of the end-times I'm pretty sure It speaks of basically censorship and being controlled, i.e we will all wear the mark of the beast, does this not seem like the type of thing that will inevitably lead to what the Bible speaks of? Is that not was the OSS community is basically trying to fight against?.. I think we are seeing the beginnings right here, be-it small amounts. I for one am against this type of thing, but I can also see where they want to protect what they own.. But this is going to lead to something bad.
PS: Sorry if I offended anyone, but I'm entitled to an opinion, please respond.:)
How about the US & EU get together, and make mr.antitrust have an option to remove all bundled programs with windows that aren't essential to the operation of the os? (i.e. IE/MSN Messenger/WMP/...etc..etc) I dunno but that to me sounds like the way-to-go, but good luck getting MS to actually agree to what isn't an integral part of the OS.
BS, including a competitors product with your own???... Here, take this copy of Paint Shop Pro (bundled with Photoshop) hope you come back to buy PSP again..
Part of me does not like the evil microsoft corporation. Then again another part of me thinks... It's their windows, its their media player, if other companies dont like that they include it in their OWN product, well screw them let them develop their own OS, gain market share off of that then bundle in whatever they want to. To me it just doesn't make sense that microsoft cannot/(should not?) be able to include, well, whatever the heck they want to include in their own products. I understand that its all antitrust bs and total market obliteration.... but screw it, people DONT have to get windows, they can get something else. bleh.

yes yes i know where i am , but I tend to believe that when safety is concerned, the simpler the solution the better. The more you start to add-on/enhance to worse the situation gets. And while im thinking about it the same is true for a lot.
I was driving a while back, I have a little area above the mirror to set stuff in, I put my sunglasses up there and noticed that with the convex shape of the glasses, I was able to see all around the back of the car, now granted that distances were obscured b/c of the odd shape, but what about a convex rear-view mirror, which would allow for greater visibility? Simple solution, no fancy electronics.
But I have a love for computing AND desire for money.... Just generally speaking if you only desire money, and dont enjoy being in front a computer all day long then your going to get bored/tired/frustrated way to easier and the only up you have is your paycheck, but if I have a hell of a good time coding/setting up systems/troubleshooting network problems, and enjoy the paycheck that goes with it. its all win-win
Lots of money is great, but what about the people who have a love for computing?... To me as long as I am happy with my work, the people I work with and I dont have to worry about where my next meal comes from then thats all the beans. If youve noticed, a lot of people are getting into the field JUST for the money, I'd like to see maybe 5-10 years down the road all the high money chasers go and the people who actually WANT to do this type of work stick.
Again lets think about how history repeats itself, has the earth not been heating and cooling water for millenia?... Its going to happen folks, so lets not get up in arms about it, now if the earth were to start losing water (because we know the amount of water in/on/around the earth stays constant) then we would need to worry, but the icecaps are going to melt, but you know they're going to refreeze at some point (YEARS after we are forgotton)
Well im sure that there are laws prohibiting you from installing items all along the power-poles/lines/whatever theyre gonna do. Just like here in the US you can go run your own cable along the poles.
while under the influence of slashdot???
No this is really cool, so a subscriber could stop on the side of the road with the ol' laptop and grab the latest info, check email, or whatever he/she might be doing. But having wireless access coverage all across the place is just awesome, I'm happy to see things like this taking place and I hope it works well for them.
It kind of makes me wonder, hadn't they dont extensive testing of the rovers before they sent them off?... I thought they did full-walkthrough type tests on the rovers here on earth, i.e taking pictures, navigating.. but what?... now the darn thing runs out of memory?.. I bet someone is smacking themselves for not checking that out properly beforehand.
One has to wonder, is opportunity going to forego the same problems as spirit?.. As they are "identical" robots.. have steps been put in place to prevent the 2nd robot from "getting full".. I should certainly hope that we dont want this to happen again, as they might not be as lucky to regain it.
I think this is a good thing, but it all depends on who implements it.. If all the major IM "brands" continue to use their own standard, then whats the point?... If they were inter-operable, then there would need to be other key selling points (what?.. selling points for free IM??) bah.. early morning spout-offs

thanks for shedding some light on that for me.
so what im gathering is that black holes take in everything (time/space/light..etc) but emit gamma rays??????

i know they are stand-alone products, it was intended to be an example...

And that is just sad, very sad. I wish I could think of something to change that. But I guess to the money crunchers in the world quality means JACK.

Just wondering, whats stopping anyone from using another band? 2.5GHz?.. 2.3 2.2?... Why does it all have to be 2.4?

Thats pretty cool, server-side interfacing for the different protocols...
