    I, for one, welcome our same old (and dreary) Microsoft supporting overlords. I have a bridge I need to sell them. It supports itself - bu if Microsoft were to begin to support it, I'd advise swimming lessons.

    Microsoft needs no help to make themselves look bad. And I can't see how we can make them look good.

  7. Re:To those who actually believe what is on Grokla on Microsoft Shown Involved with Baystar and SCO · · Score: 0

    Groklaw has a name on its posts (even names, some of whom are lawyers). Anonymous Cowards have something to hide - by definition. Your post, sir, is sickening, just sickening - for its innate dishonesty if for no other reason. Being a lawyer is no definition of respectability in itself - rather the reverse. It is the morality and responsability of the person exercising the profession which makes for respectability .... or utter contemptibility.

    It uplifts the ego to hide on the side-lines and laugh at the work of others - but this only applies to certain type of ego. You've no obligation to read Groklaw if you don't want to, and I'd be obliged if you'd keep your ideas regarding the decisions I may make in my life as quiet as your obviously over-inflated opinion of yourself will allow.

    This said, sir, please, please allow me to wish you a really good day

    I have teenagers at home and, clearly, you are absolutely correct. My only thought (as tears of laughter roll down my face) is that the RIAA should not be allowed to discriminate - what's good for teenagers is good for pre-teens also. Clearly though, we must set limits. I suggest that the RIAA give their first credit card when the child reaches the age of five. (To prevent the said child from eating the new card, of course).

    "Rupert Murdoch's The Sun (their Sunday version is News of the World)."
    Oh really ? I thought it was called "News of the Screws" and was a trade paper for carpenters and metal-workers.

    And is there no news-paper for the upper crust intellectual class (or classes) ? I've heard of folks who get their news-papers ironed for them - but I always thought that this was to make the all the picures of nude ladies look really smooth; thus inspiring the upper-class (or classes) to regenerate themselves. But perhaps I'm wrong about this.

    Saw this bit:-

    "Installs regularly take ~20-30 minutes for me, from typing in my product key to first logon."
    and I wonder if you're understanding one another. Has the time taken to format a Windows partition changed so much with Vista ?

    Then I got to this bit :-

    "I work on Vista and install new builds every few days."
    and I had two thoughts,
    1. What can you be getting paid for ? Most of us install an OS and then proceed to productive work
    2. Practise makes perfect, I suppose. But should we not choose carefully that which we practise ?

    Just my thoughts -excuse them, please

    You're "thinking" ? You sure AC's have a right to do that ? Are you sure that they even can ? If they can, I admit not having noticed an AC thought - but, being so small, it escaped perhaps.
