What you say is true - but it is also true that by now the "working stiffs" - even those from pre-Dark Side days - must have caught on to the nature of the beast that that SCO has become. They will be cursed with a resume entry that shows they were willing to stay on rather than leave in disgust (although this could be a good thing in the eyes of corporate recruiters). So yes, they may bear costs that the weasels at the top will avoid, but if they do, it is partly of their own making.
where conservatives can find refuge from the politically correct.
If by "politically correct" you mean "journalistic standards" (...such as they are...), I see your point

I think that you are confusing "all computing" with "MS products" and drawing a connection with the mythical behavior of lemmings on which the crashing behavior of said products was modelled.
i've seen these machines in operation, it is very cool to see a car part (or what ever) "grow" . it can take a few hours but it is very cool. seeing a house build up this way would definitely be cool
and so you might add that poorly designed products can kill, manufacturing defects can kill, improperly prepared food can kill, pretty much anything that people do can have that human factor error in and sometimes that can kill.
i used one for 3 or 4 years and it was very comfy indeed. i think the rap that they sometimes get has to do with the idea of paying so much for a chair or possibly envy on the part of commentators who had the misfortune to work for companies with more utilitarian views of office furniture.
Actually, dishwashing agent is made to taste horrible to discourage children from eating it.
This is also true of other types of household cleaners - some even mention something along the lines of *with Bitrex* on the label. Look for this and, as the original poster suggested, your problems will be solved.
was is needed is accountability wrt government use of information about people. even if these bills or this privacy officer start down the road to accountability, true accountability needs either openness or trust. openness in national security issues? i don't think so. that leaves trust, and that doesnt exist right now

It would be simpler to just wait until lindows goes bankrupt or something
ianal, but iirc whether or not lindows is a threat to their market position, if they see it as a trademark infingement, they have to defend the trademark or risk losing it. even if lindows were to go out of business, someone else with a similar name or other parody of windows coudl come along, be successful and when sued, point to the fact that ms never raised a complaint about this highly visible use.
Personally, I wouldn't want my campaign within ten feet of any of that stuff, let alone fractions of an inch away from them on the recipient's screen; i expect the net impact would be negative. Long-term i think campaign spam will have to wait until the rest of spam has been contained. they may wait, but their record on phone spam isnt good. sure they eventually created teh do not call list for other phone spammers but they started their own phone spamming long before they did it. but i agree with with you, it is not likely to be a way to get slashdotters' votes.

It's the human error factor.
and so you might add that poorly designed products can kill, manufacturing defects can kill, improperly prepared food can kill, pretty much anything that people do can have that human factor error in and sometimes that can kill.
are they not all they appear?

That, my friend, is called public disclosure, so much for patenting the idea now. Sounds like a good idea, if no one has done it before.
