The problem is that any such movement would need near-fanatical support from a large number of people who were willing and able to go up against the authorities, killing and dying for the cause if necessary.
If we could garner that sort of support there would be no need for a violent uprising, we could defeat them at the polls.
Unfortunately voter apathy makes that very unlikely anytime soon.
Dude I'm all agaist Dubya but follow your own advice about balance.
We lost quite a few service men while Clinton was in office. It bothers me I have to remind you about Mogadishu. Granted not as many as we have lost under Shrub, but try not to result to hyperbole in order to make your point.
You missed the parents point. He wasn't saying that Vista couldn't do these things. He was saying that Vista requires a great deal more resources to do the same thing.
Seriously, they get all of these partners to setup the whole Plays for Sure infrastructure (that a lot of people won't like) and then undermines them with their own music service and a player the doesn't work with PFS.
I installed a very mid range Kenwood unit in my truck that has an actual iPod dock connector on it. My iPod sits in my glove box and draws it's power from the head unit, and the head unit displays track metadata. I can change by song, playlist, album, or artist. I can switch between in order or random play, all through the head unit.
The whole system including the iPod (used 3rd gen 20Gb) was less than $350. I think you over stated your case a wee bit.
At home I use a 17" luxo lamp iMac G4. At work I use a Dell Precision with dual 19" lcd displays. The difference between the the two is huge. Just about everything on the Dell displays looks fuzzy, while my iMacs' display is quite crisp.
So I guess my point is (if indeed I have one) is that the quality of the display is not a function of the size, but rather of the design.
Are you suggesting high speed kayaks as a substitute for trans-Atlantic air travel, or making weapons from glass in order to more easily get them on a plane?
You do realize that the show is not live don't you?
Like most shows that shoot new episodes every day, like "The Daily Show", or "The Tonite Show" it is taped earlier in the day, and broadcast in it's usual time slot.
You can't really do this because the RIAA is not a company. It is a trade association. Which allows its' members to act en masse "for the good of the industry."
In order to declare monopoly status RIAA would have to be a parent company with all of the labels being subsidiaries.
Another thing to think about is that no matter what is used to get a signal to the control surface, there is still going to be an actuator there that is going to weigh a good deal.
I work for a company that developed a remote telemetry station for Boeing when they were flight testing the 777. Because the FAA wouldn't let them test that early fly-by-wire system over populated areas of Washington state, they had to go out to the prairies of So. Dakota, or Wyoming and use a satellite link back to Seattle for telemetry capture/analysis.
I can't imagine where they would make you go to test this system.
Like many of you, it's hard for me to remember a time when the word "Playstation" was synonymous with gaming.
I believe he meant to say that he can't remember when it Playstaion "wasn't" synonymous with gaming. And that's in the first sentence!
Add that to the use of 'there' when 'their' in the last line of the second paragraph. It becomes quite clear that this article has all the journalistic value of the typical Slashdot post.
Sounds like you're talking about commenting within the code. Which is there to help some one who comes along later to work on it to understand what different routines are doing and why.
Mr. Barrett was talking about interface documentation intended to be given to other developers working on thier own projects so that they might properly interact with Microsofts' OS.
So if all they did was put out comments from witin the code then, yea it would be totally useless for the porpose for which it was intended, i.e. an interface document.
But I don't think this is what they did. It sounds as if they threw together a bunch jargon laden instructions, obfuscated it with interchangeable naming conventions, put it in a book and said "See what a good boy I am?"
Exactly, everytime some one believes that they've created something so powerful that it will end all conflict, some one else develops something worse (think Nobel, and Oppenheimer here). Or amass large quantities of said terrible weapon.
At the time of the Challenger incident I was in the Marine Corps going through cold weather training in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California.
The day of the event we were going up the mountain for a 9 day field exercise, by the time we got back to civilization the jokes were already circulating.
Here's one I haven't seen here yet:
Why do NASA employees drink Sprite?
Because they can't get 7-Up.

Another market stabbed in the back by MS

You get what you pay for.

Or maybe the former as a result of the later.
At least a spell checker would have caught " newtral colors" and "For me since I graduated 2001 it makes most sience ".

Originally Levis' had a rivet in the crotch, but it was removed in 1942.
Legend has it that it was because cowboys squatting next to a fire would find that the rivet had become quite hot when they stood up.
But it actually had more to do with war time rationing of metal than over heated rivets burning cowboy scrotum.
Makes me think of that charaters office in "Snow Crash"

Hell where I work people think that PowerPoint is a CAD app.

So in the future you won't only have to purchase the song, but buy the lyrics sheet as well.
I'm not a big fan of tablature, but two of my favorite tab sites has changed themselves into forum/music disscusion sites because of this threat.

A lot of people would say the same thing about 'metadata', and 'hotlinking'.
"With 88 cities and 28 percent of all California residents, Los Angeles County is the largest county in the U.S."
Ha! they can't even get this right. L.A. County may be the most populous, but a few miles east San Bernardino county is the largest in area.
Since there is also a new iTunes maybe ripping a movie to watch on you PC and uploading to your video iPod will be as trivial as doing CDs are now.
These units have a dock connector in the glove box, and allow you to control the iPod using the stereo controls on the steering wheel.
Differnce now is that Netscape was beaten because MS could give away IE to undercut Netscape.
But now the competition is Google and MS still hasn't figured out how to beat "free" (to the user at least)
