California is close to home for Microsoft. It is in the same country, and it is close to it inside the country. That would be terrible for them if their own government ditched their software.
Free and open source software is good capitalism at work. People don't want to pay so much for stuff that isn't really what they want, and they create another option.
Seven or eight years ago I had a little kid that I had never seen before walk into our house(it was obviously a private residense), right behind us while we were watching TV, and use our bathroom. That is wierd when people just wander into your house and use stuff...
I use KDE on the Gentoo kernel with one Gigabyte of RAM. It starts slow the first time, but if I log out and log back in it will load in seconds. It logs out fast everytime. Logging in and out of XP always goes slow no matter what you do(as long as you keep Explorer in tact) and how much memory you have.
What is to stop you from getting a wrench with a slightly angled away iron handle and hitting it with a mallet? Maybe a crowbar. Remember those stickers?
I have aliases on my server, but I still haven't had a use for them. If things start getting bad on your account(the one on your webpage that you tell people about) you should be able to make a script that rotates it so that the address is only good for a few days. Put the date in the address or something so that people don't have to look up your address every day.
I like my Nokia phone because it is not a flip phone and is has plain Symbian on it. I do not need to unlock my phone to recieve a call, because it will be automaticaly unlocked while it is ringing and then locked again after. I do not have to open my phone to use it. I can press the buttons even though I have big fingers. I have menu's on my phone so I don't have to push up left down enter to change my ring tone. My phone doesn't think that I am stupid and it lets me change my system settings. It doesn't display stuff on the screen when it thinks I'm not looking(when you open the Samsung phone my parents got you see some picture on the screen before it loads your wallpaper) either.
I hearby patent the patenting of simple things that shouldn't be patentable within a reasonable system of patenting. I will now sue Apple, Microsoft, and Washington Mutual for patenting such things. Next, I will get a job in the US Patent Office and then patent the process of giving patents to patentors of patenting patents that shouldn't be patentable with a decent system of patenting. I will then quit my job and sue the patent office for allowing those patents to get through.
Lots of schools need artwork to cover their walls. CD's are great wall coverings. Ever seen that AOL comercial with Snoop Dog? With that many CD's, they could just replace the vandilized discs with fresh ones. The Lyrics are enough for study. The cases make good floor tiles.
*GASP* they blocked me from using YIM under Linux again(should have read the whole newsletter)?! Hmmmmm... Time to get a new SN because now everybody who reads at -1 will know it. Maybe I'll keep it.
I've always had issues with those advertisments in your mail, and I dislike Yahoo even more now. I have had a Yahoo account for about a year now. I log into it every day with my messenger. A few days ago I started getting invalid password messages from Kopete. I suspect that my account has been deleted. I didn't really use that account, but just because they deleted it I am much less likley to ever consider using there services again. I did not get any notification of any sort before it was canceled.

No, see, you did it wrong. You didn't look at the requirements on the CD. You need Windows 98,ME,2000,XP in order to have your rights stripped from you. You must go to the store and shell out $199.00 for the latest and greatest non-operating system in the world. You don't know what you've been missing. Here are a few more of those features missing from that "ordinary" operating system that you've been using:
Pretty blue screens with white writting!
Advertisments that open even without having to browse the web!
Friends warning you that you are sending them viruses!
Friendly error messages that hide their boring, repetitive message!
Get helpful advice on moving on to your next overly priced video game, because that one your playing is just... old.
And more!!!
Buy now and you can even spend the day trying to install those updates. You don't need them, however, this is the most secure and stable operating system in the world. You may need to purchase more RAM and a new CPU to keep up with rapidly increasing demands of todays software.
Could you legaly download the tracks after you buy the CD? You would have the right to hear the music that you purchased. I'm surprised that nobody has mentiond copying in DOS. I think that it may be immune to all of these protection schemes by virtue of being super old abd super simple.
No, Windows holds most of the market, and the autorun.inf will not run a Windows virus on a Macintosh PC. OSX's CD drivers probably aren't easily messed with either(Core, built-into-kernel component). The most it could do to stop copying is to eject the disk(or cause your computer to explode.) The ability to have the CD-ripping blocked is a bug, unless it is blocked by process killing(then it's a virus).

Windows is free, it's all of the updates(even ones from previous and beta versions) that cost you. You get past updates and a subscription to the update service for five years.
It's going to be interesting when Windos xp2005 comes out in 2007, and it runs at half the speed. WinFS sounds like a bad idea to me, and there new fancy eye candy will get old quick. It may be the last Windos that people buy when the 3daccelerated graphics used in window rendering trash all past 3d games. Windows ME was a terrible mistake. Removing the dos compatibility for no aparent reason, what were they thinking? It was like they tried to copy the system32 from win2000 into win98se or something(do not attempt). Microsoft isn't due for such a great failure yet! They are supposed to follow a past trend and rerelease XP with the ability to use titlebar gradients before they have such a failure.
ls pencil would only return the single entry pencil, so why not "pencil" "./pencil" "edit pencil" "cp pencil" or whatever? Actually it will be probably be way to hard for the average user to setup. We used to have just a Presario 4850 desktop and Presario somthing laptop. We wanted to play C&C multiplayer, so we got out the direct connection cable and linked them. Start the game and neither computer showed up in either list. After some tinkering we got one computer to see only the other computer, and one way chatting. The same problem occured with Warcraft II. It'll be like when I tried to connect my phone to my PC with bluetooth. Even when using the target operating system with the latest drivers it was a real pain to get working, and I don't use it that often. Using it under Linux was a huge pain because the system wouldn't boot while the bluetooth was connected until one day I left it in and it started(strange). KOBEXPush is very handy for file transfers however, even more so than the Windows send to extension. If this manages to make its way to the market I hope that it will allow extensions like Bemused does to Bluetooth.
And what's wrong with Communism? The Communists are perfectly happy with their Communism. They get mad at CSS(not the stylesheet) for promoting Capitalism.
Those dots that flash on the screen? They aren't invisible. Unless these dots I'm seeing say "BUY POPCORN" on them I would assume that they are one and the same. Those are some annoying dots.
Actually this copy protection could be useful for us GIMP users. Place that dot patern in all of your work to keep those Photoshopers from stealing. I know that it can still be read in, but probably not in the next Photoshop release. You could prevent those "profesional" designers from using your work.
Why go that far? Take a black marker and add an extra dot witch you later remove. This is one of those things that they just can't resonably stop. This technology will block people from scanning certain legal images that happen to have dots in them.
