He has a large audience here, so please have your
father explain to us why destroying any records
per se, without any other facts or assumptions, suppose you, is/in itself/ a crime.
Thanks for that.

My Linux box with xine or mplayer running my favorite p*rn would be an example of a Mission critical system. I mean, imagine me sitting there all set and ready to go, and happens a system crash. You bet I'd describe that at best as a big letdown, and at worst as a situation where I'd really be f*cked.
't Erge is natuurlijk dat de altijd vriendelijk

In ieder geval zeer goed werk van Arend.

I have a 21" monitor and am running a TV app in a window 544x408 and the viewing angle of the screen is larger than my TV, which is 60cm across I believe.
Plus sharper picture, better sound, no need to
look away to a TV-set, less power usage having
both PC and TV on -- need I say more?
Using a PCTV Pinnacle Pro (nov.2003 model) on
Linux.
How popular would car leasing be if the leaser would be locked by long-term contract into filling up at let's say Shell-stations only -- no matter what the competition's price would be.
This is just a ploy to render a knock-out to the FOSS community and FOSS consumers. If they succeed the consumer will be left without any options and choice -- plus prob. some hardware that will be like a big brother and policeman to you.

Actually a big pear shaped thing, slightly moving
towards you, and you rushing towards it.

As a matter of fact you do not actually want to 'reach' a star, rather some solar system of a
distant star.

Very nice you sing the authority's tune, but if I were an American I'd opt for the sanctions rather than assuming myself guilty beforehand.

The field /will/ be weak in large spots around the globe.
Also you'll have locations with NS polarity, others
with SN solarity. All this is dynamic.

Yes, they always lie. BJ (Dutch)

Sorry, should have said ``the viewing angle of that /window/ is larger than my TV".

If the average joe user in his ignorance is content with his M$, well let him, why worry?
Your analogy fails.

would be locked by long-term contract into filling up at let's say Shell-stations only -- no matter what the competition's price would be.

Thanks for your time.

I always thought most americans since the Challenger mishap judged NASA to be a bunch of amateurs. BJ
You might want to keep them away from your
credit card and watch.
They got their analogy wrong. Aircraft engineers/mechanics would be more like it.
