I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking "What if Bill Gates gave everyone the finger, and dumped all his stock?" Imagine what would happen to today's economy if Bill was pissed off enough to dump everything?
It's also illegal. You have to declare purchases, if you don't, you are breaking your countries laws. Yes, many, many people break the law, that's not the point I was making.
"No one anywhwere asks where business traveler's laptops were purchsed or asks for proof of purchase, etc.."
Wrong, I've been asked by Canadian Customs. 99% isn't "all the time".
Actually I travel internationally quite frequently (read twice a month...), and your correct, 99% of the time, you walk through, no hassles. It's the 1% of the time that you get REALLY screwed. For example, I have _NEVER_ been questioned about tobacco until one day my luggage went missing, I had to file a claim to customs. The customs offical didn't like the fact that on my week long trip to Vegas, the only thing I'm bringing home is a carton of cigarettes, so what happens? He shows me a new "rule" that says they can now claim duty for even a single "personal" amount of tobacco, and threatens to charge me $40 for duty (the smokes cost LESS then $40 to begin with). Since then I've carried MANY more cartons across the border, and never ONCE been asked for additional duty on them, funny, they haven't lost my luggage since either...
"You walk through with a beaten up laptop bag slung across your shoulder"
So where do I buy an old beaten up laptop bag to go with my shiny new laptop? Thanks for the stellar advice.
This is horrible advice:
"just tell them that it is your work computer. "
Because now they think your carrying company software/documents on your computer, more interogation. And your going to look REALLY stupid when they discover it's _not_ a company laptop after all.
"business traveller walks around with receipts for their laptops? "
Yes, I do, many of my friends do, etc.
"You people really do live sheltered lives."
Like you have any room to talk, trying to cut down people on slashdot.. Get a life.
It will cost you a crap load of money for customs. If you don't declare it, it would be illegal to "carry" it across your border. If customs questions you, they will want proof of purchase for your laptop, if you can't prove it, and they find out your lying (i.e. checking the serial #), then you will be charged with lying to a customs offical and be fined well over $2000. Make sure you do some research, it's not your buying a $50 sweater and wearing it across.
I hope that's not all it sync's with?? I was hoping I could finally have an all-encomposing Linux solution at home, that I could PDA on the road with, but apparently this Linux solution still wants me to have Windows installed at home..
SO DON'T WATCH. No one is forcing you to. If you want to complain, complain to the BROADCASTOR. It's not right to have the government controlling your thoughts, your "founding fathers" would be ASHAMED.
This is the worst fucking piece of shit government regulated assholes. How could Americans let them take their fucking rights away? That's complete SHIT. FUCK. CRAP. You guys should be fucking fighting against this shit, it's garbage. Jesus fuck. Shit.
With all your rights already evaporating why would you let this go on? You're not the land of the free, not even CLOSE. I used to think so, but if your going to take THE KING OF ALL MEDIA off the air, you have ISSUE'S. It's not like he's promoting hate (except against BUSH), so what's the deal? Worried the word FUCK is going to hurt your children? Be more afraid of them growing up under Big Brother's thumb.
This was on the Howard Stern show this morning, or a brief mention, apparently Tivo is discontinuing the Analog service boxes. DirecTV will still carry Tivo, and Tivo will be upgrading there DirecTV links to include HDTV soon.
So it's 25% from the "great tech bubble", I wonder if that means that now would be a good time to start buying YHOO shares again? Although the tech bubble burst, it could almost be considered underrated, the issue was all the money thrown into the internet at one time caused the over-value, now it may be near corrected or even undervalued, so as the internet grows, so will tech stock.

No I didn't I just mentioned he was behind a NAT router, that was all. I didn't say anything like it was the end-all for stopping a virus. You replied that it didn't do anything at all, I replied that it did, and I explained why.
"The line breaks are more to clarify different points of a post, not to provide paragraph breaks. I think we can ALL agree that a post without a break here and there can be a pain on the eyes, and damned near illegible"
I agree with you. I was attacking you because you attacked me. BTW- I _always_ write "there", it's been an issue for me since grade 5, it's a soft spot for me. Normally my grammar skills are at least average..:)
"between 'there' and 'their' is pretty damned significant"
Not significant enough that my meaning was lost.

Trust me on this point, you need to tone down the "..." it's not professional looking. It also implies thought pauses, which are not needed in writing. You won't find many author's using "...".
Sorry if I was harsh, but honestly man, I don't think I was worse than you. It's just the worst part of/. are people who go around posting peoples spelling and grammar mistakes. Even professional writers have editors to make sure they didn't make any mistakes, so given the fact this is a discussion board, people should try there best to ignore minor mistakes, and instead use it for what it's for, discussion.
Okay, in that case I completely agree with you. There's no way ebola could alone could have a 90% kill rate, but those cross bred virus such as Ebola/SmallPox, well, who knows what could happen. I'd imagine that the governments best weapons could climb to rates that would surprise us.

" I lived in Toronto through the SARS crisis and it affected me not at all."
I also live in Toronto, and the SARS crisis DID indeed affect you. Let's start at the economic level, then work back to the viral level. First off, SARS changed everyone perception of Toronto, it caused great hardship on our city, if that doesn't affect you, then you must not make a living. Secondly, how would you know if you had a mild case of SARS? Did you get tested? Are you aware that THOUSANDS of people showed residual SARS being secreted from there blood, even though they were documented cases because it couldn't be proven. The fact is many people believe SARS was a virus that was "too good" at killing people so it mutated to a less lethal form so it could continue undetected in the public.

You want me to write a thesis or what? Sorry I don't feel like doing tons of research to prove everything to you at that level.
"having any glass and viruses, no matter the context, in the same page to pretend you know something about the topic."
Not true at all. I simple found a relevant university level prof stating the term "Viral-glass" and the fact that it does indeed exist. BTW- I said these technologies exist or were in development stages, it's hard to get information on some subjects that are in development stages for a very good reason.
