Seems to me that something like this subject should have senators and congressmen pounding on podiums with veins sticking out of their foreheads denouncing those involved and making a lot of stink to oust the bastards... or maybe that was just a reality tv show I saw once.
I would venture a guess that people are just sick of all the advertising and are doing other things than pay attention to it. You can't surf the web, listen to the radio, take a nice drive, or watch tv without someone trying to brainwash you into buying their product with a jingle, ad or billboard. The superbowl commercials are pretty popular, but as creative as they are, if they were the same marketing drivel dayin-dayout, they would suck too.
Just seems like your moving the pollution upstream to the power plant. It would be a good bargaining chip for the pro-nuke-power groups I suppose.
I'd like to see the world break out of the oil whoring, and into the hydrogen whoring myself. If there needs to be whoring done, lets at least whore where everyone can join in, not just the middle east.
I don't recall too many things microsoft has added 'spokes and rubber' to that didn't end up causing a train wreck.
Roaming profiles nice idea. Home directories that travel. Watch 20 users save everything to their desktop for about a month- train wreck.
Active directory. Have fun mixing your nt domain controller with your 2000 ad box. While your at it, don't forget to use those underscores - what, DNS? whoops!- train wreck.
Internet explorer A web browser for windows. What a neat product. Let's give it the ability to install operating system software over the internet- train wreck.
Face it. Microsoft has been saying things will get fixed with the next version since windows 95. They've not delivered on that yet as far as I can tell. More features get added, but nothing gets fixed, and the reason is because it makes for good marketing. People keep waiting though, and hoping, and spending, and that's all that counts when marketing is your drive.
although it looks cool and easy to use, the battery nightmare was enough for me to ditch it. Not to mention you cant pull the mp3s back off it, or use it with anything but itunes-shamola.
It's not hard to imagine many of the conceptions about radiation exposure may have been a bit over estimated, simply because nobody has really been willing to undergo an experiment of that caliber. I would not believe the animals are enjoying their radiation poisoning however until I was able to ask them.
I wonder if microsoft has finally met a market they cannot buy, strongarm, or sue themselves into. Seems they are worried about being left behind and trying to wedge themselves into the search engine market any way they can. Maybe they are just finding it harder to make people think they are the only game in town.
like: - running over people with your car - waking up with shit all over your dick - child support a year later - numerous inexplicable cuts, bruises and sprains - friends that aren't anymore - marriages that aren't anymore - the bed in a jail cell
Most people just don't care what browsering they're using.
Actually, what I've found is that taking the time to explain to people what spyware is, how the popups get there, why they have 1300 infections, and that there is something they *can* do to minimize their risk, they are all for the idea.
The do not tend to respond well to: "Ditch that windows IE bullshit retard. go get firefox. what's your fucking problem?".
They've tried killing, buying, and trashing Linux. It's not going away. So now the question is 'How can I make money off of Linux?'
I don't agree. Microsoft has never *ever* done anything to the competition short of
a) buying it
b) stealing it
c) choking it with legal expenses
d) fud/sabotage it to death. a and b are pointless here, c is still going on with SCO vs. IBM. and d is always a work in progress.
Whatever they are up to now is going to fall into one of the above 4 categories.
6:00am - wake up, turn on computer. bluescreen. turn on tv, make coffee. 7:15am - arrive at work. turn on computer. bluescreen. turn on radio, go get coffee. 7:37am - call RBC and ask how SCO donations are working out. 8:15am - call SCO and ask how RBC donations are working out. 8:37am - crank call IBM again with refridgerator bit. 8:45am - scandisk done. log into Groklaw and troll the place. 9:01am - more coffee. 9:30am - martial arts training with Ballmer. 10:17am - breakfast. cold toast and mayonaise washed down with cold coffee. 11:00am - call Cheney back and ask about his pricing. 12:37pm - go over new Vista features - note to upgrade all corp workstations. 12:38pm - bluescreen, must be lunchtime. 2:00pm - Martinis with Ballmer ended up in bar fight. $10,000 bail 2:37pm - $35,000 to CNN to keep barfight out of press. 3:00pm - scandisk done. Update Daily Lawsuit Agenda.xls 3:02pm - bluescreen. trade computers with Ballmer. 3:20pm - more bluescreen. download adaware, 1340 infections found. 4:00pm - tomorrows another day.
AMD has surpassed anything Intel has been able to offer. I've dealt with enough Intel and AMD workstations in an engineering environment to make the switch. Intel faceplants when matched up to an Athlon 64 crunching numbers. Intel is simply buying time with all the marketing hype until they can figure out how to get the gaming market back. If you can't see that you need to get your head out of the benchmarks and go do some testing in your own environment.
There is no such thing as a 'hidden' network. Not to your ISP, not to your legal system, and not to your government. Packets are packets and that is that. Routers see them, switches see them and traffic sniffing sees them. This whole 'dark' sup3rs3ckr3t n3tw0rk sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. The only way you can possibly get around any problems with getting busted for pirating music/software on p2p is to meet in a dark alley somewhere and swap cds. Even then, you'll probably IM on yahoo to meet and get busted anyway.
And is *that* GPL'd? The legalities that are going to surface when Microsoft finds out they will have to GPL whatever they put in Xen to change it. Including anything that belongs to someone else that they are licensing.

Ditch windows.

back in 74, he only cost 6 million.
like:
- running over people with your car
- waking up with shit all over your dick
- child support a year later
- numerous inexplicable cuts, bruises and sprains
- friends that aren't anymore
- marriages that aren't anymore
- the bed in a jail cell
Yeah, I need more of that.
This is all I could get off it though.

wtf? Why didn't we think of using google for this before?

Maybe this dumb cunt should go google her subject material first. It doesn't seem to jive with reality, *or* my personal experience.

I bet SCO is happy too! http://www.google.com/search?as_q=mysql+sco
I was expecting something like:
6:00am - wake up, turn on computer. bluescreen. turn on tv, make coffee.
7:15am - arrive at work. turn on computer. bluescreen. turn on radio, go get coffee.
7:37am - call RBC and ask how SCO donations are working out.
8:15am - call SCO and ask how RBC donations are working out.
8:37am - crank call IBM again with refridgerator bit.
8:45am - scandisk done. log into Groklaw and troll the place.
9:01am - more coffee.
9:30am - martial arts training with Ballmer.
10:17am - breakfast. cold toast and mayonaise washed down with cold coffee.
11:00am - call Cheney back and ask about his pricing.
12:37pm - go over new Vista features - note to upgrade all corp workstations.
12:38pm - bluescreen, must be lunchtime.
2:00pm - Martinis with Ballmer ended up in bar fight. $10,000 bail
2:37pm - $35,000 to CNN to keep barfight out of press.
3:00pm - scandisk done. Update Daily Lawsuit Agenda.xls
3:02pm - bluescreen. trade computers with Ballmer.
3:20pm - more bluescreen. download adaware, 1340 infections found.
4:00pm - tomorrows another day.

Yeah that's fuckedup, but that's capitalism. THe other action phrase I saw was "..poured money into legislative bills.."
Isn't that chinese for 'go fuck yourself'?
There is no such thing as a 'hidden' network. Not to your ISP, not to your legal system, and not to your government. Packets are packets and that is that. Routers see them, switches see them and traffic sniffing sees them. This whole 'dark' sup3rs3ckr3t n3tw0rk sounds like a bunch of baloney to me. The only way you can possibly get around any problems with getting busted for pirating music/software on p2p is to meet in a dark alley somewhere and swap cds. Even then, you'll probably IM on yahoo to meet and get busted anyway.
And is *that* GPL'd? The legalities that are going to surface when Microsoft finds out they will have to GPL whatever they put in Xen to change it. Including anything that belongs to someone else that they are licensing.
All that superduper stuff and I bet they still eat your card.
