For consumers, living in constant doubt of their content. For providers, servers that they will have to run, like, forever. And the admins who maintain them.
In this vein, the B & C people would also like me to point out that many of you who have excess U.S. currency to get rid of have been trying to kill two birds with one stone by using old billions as bathroom tissue. While creative, this approach has two drawbacks:
1. It clogs the plumbing, and
2. It constitutes defacement of U.S. currency, which is a federal crime.
DON'T DO IT.
Join your office bathroom-tissue pool instead. It's easy, it's hygienic, and it's legal.
Bush could have surrounded himself with experts, smart unscrupulous people, in fact that's what alot of bosses and managers do, they hire people to do things that they themselves don't know how to do. However it became obvious with the selection of John Bolton to the UN (I saw his interview with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show) - Bush was not about listening to smart people advising him what to do, he was about surrounding himself with yes-men.
If I remember correctly, the power savings is not in using AC or DC, it is in stepping up the voltage so that less current flows, resulting in lower power loss due to the innate resistance of the lines, a process that is possible using either AC or DC. Tesla and Watt fought over that one, comparing the relative safety of AC vs DC, a war of pure FUD IIRC.
I think the real question is this - does any form of short selling benefit the market in any way, and if not, why still allow it? If the intentions of the agent and the availability of insider information cannot be easily determined, why not just shut down the avenue altogether?
So much for protesting. If IBM's objective was to protest the OOXML decision, this was the wrong thing to do, giving Microsoft a wedge into ODF. If their objective was to protest the existence of ISO itself, though, I guess a lot of people are paying attention.
Look at it this way - If you were living in the early 20th Century, and held a chunk of cold uranium in your hands, would you have suspected the amount of energy it could unleash?
I've gone through that with a lot of users myself. Somehow they don't seem to realize that pop-ups are meant to be an unnatural experience that indicates a decision is necessary. I've had lots of users complain to me "This is broken, fix it" and yet be totally unable to explain what is broken or why they think it is broken (And we haven't even gotten to the diagnosis part yet). To them I'm like some kind of magic wand that makes the problems go away, whereas to me they've lost quite a few respect points, because now I know that they don't even see me as a human being. Let me put it to you this way - would you go to a doctor and say "heal me" and not be able to describe why you think something is wrong?
It's all about spin. Spin can turn an bad idea into a good one, spin can change something that loses you votes into something that wins you votes. Don't count on it being an election year to protect you at all.
Is it no wonder that they don't have an Apple store where I live. Over here I don't think they would trust anyone to run one, so all we get are stores that kinda look like Apple stores, but in the end, they feel just like any other computer shop.
Hardly Heron you mean. Anyway, if I wanted someone to talk to, now instead of going online and being an ass, I can go into a store and be an ass... in real life... Because you know what they say about arguing on the internet and all.

Well, you know what they say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me... you can't get fooled again.
But how could you accumulate your karma if you keep spending it on pudding?

They should be getting a hot stewardess to cut and hand-feed them.

This is not as true as it sounds. We all know of people who pay willingly a premium price for quality box sets, collectors editions etc.

No, that's the reason why women don't go to Slashdot.
This is well and fine until the domain comes up for renewal.
Good God, the word they should be looking for is "unremovable"...
You can't boycott what you've already bought. This lawsuit is over deceptive practices concealing what you really got in that CD-rom you purchased.
I read your article, and it describes only 2 things - Clippy, and the search dog.

The sad part is that the goatse link is probably going to be modded higher than the parent.
Better than taking your money to buy laws, like the current trend in American business.
