what will they do when their prospective employer asks, do you know how to use word, access, powerpoint, excel, xp, the list goes on.
Then the prospective employer can save maybe 24% on the salary they pay their employees who don't know commonly used stuff.

This is in the disclaimers section Intel employees & their families ineligible.
Why? Why won't they buy from Intel employees? Or is that all Intel employees have to pledge their first borns & magazine collections when they join the company?
In other words, the person is selling a copyright violation.
Isn't the magazine defunct now? Who would own the copyright now?
Anyway, why does somebody auction a digital copy? It isn't as if he can only sell it to one person. He can make as many copies as he wants & sell it, can't he?
This isn't something found in one particular media outlet, all media outlets have to be on guard and keep this from occuring. Just seems that some media outlets have had particular trouble with the problem in the recent past.
There is also another issue especially in the USA. Many times even if a news organization publishes a true report, corporations have ways & means of silencing them i.e. by expensive lawsuits, by pulling out Advertising etc. Hence sometimes press has to apologize. Because of this I think the press in the USA atleast has decided that investigative journalism is just not worth pursuing.
Check this link for the Food Lion & Monsanto incidents.
The BBC seems to apologize a lot for their reporting, do a quick search and you will find many examples
Probably because, unlike the American press, they really do reporting i.e. they don't just print off Press Releases & Talking Points.
If 95% of your reporting were based off Press Releases + Talking Points issued by different people, then there would very little reason why the press would need to apologize.
I think the US should spin this as bioterrorism & shuld just bomb Korea out of existence. Colin Powell can give a speech about a Cancerous cloud & scare people.
If one day we decide to move all our books to electronic formats, who is to say a tyrant one day can't remove or change items, slowly, so that nobody notices. Maybe I am 1984-ish paranoid, but I want it on paper.
Stalin, over 40 million (purges, forced de-kulakification, de-cossacifiation, forced labour camps, re-education camps, etc). Mass deportations for the various baltic states and other soviet satellites to the Soviet Gulag archipelago, and let us not forget the many cut down crossing the Berlin wall or any other point on the Iron Curtain,
Mao Tse Tung's Cultural Revolution, estimated at 72 million plus,
Pol Pot's Cambodia, 3 million plus (close to one out of three people)
The there is the perennial favorite, Nazi Germany (6 million plus), the Japanese Rape of Nanking (300,000), North Korea, Vietnam, The Armenian genocide in Turkey (1.5 Million), the communist rampages through post WWII albania/yugoslavia.
I don't have any opinion about the Pope, but I am surprised you have had to use examples of known villians to defend the pope.

Shouldn't it read "India To Launch World's First Stereo Imaging Satellite" since they will do it tomorrow?
Because of the time difference, it's already tommorow there.

Yes, but it's Appple.
Looks like they took the burnable folder feature straight out of Gnome
Next time, the Gnome people can have billboards like "Cupertino, start your photocopiers".
But they have to be careful, because Apple being a litigious company, may sue them.
It seems that tiger is comparable to sp2 as far as adding features to the base OS.
Yes, but it's apple.
Why not compare it to Countries like India and China.
India is 1/3 the size of the USA.
Could be useful on farms, or if you have a dog in the house and don't want to crawl out of bed first thing!
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
A timer operated door would do the work much
better & cheaper I think.
Also in places like Seattle, the dog would be trapped forever if the door opening was dependent on the sun shining.
Shouldn't this story be in the simputer section?

Some interesting facts I gleened from an article written by Tom R. Halfhill, an analyst for Microprocessor Report.
I think both you & Halfhill need to get a life.
Is somebody going to critique Godwin's law next?

No need for the racist remarks.
The post you were replying to was obviously a troll - but what the hell was racist about it?
If one day we decide to move all our books to electronic formats, who is to say a tyrant one day can't remove or change items, slowly, so that nobody notices. Maybe I am 1984-ish paranoid, but I want it on paper.
And paper cannot be changed??
This page strikes me as dumb and deliberately one sided
That's why he called it the other side of the story - as compared to
"Behind the scenes at Google" invokes images of clowns and mimes. Is it just me?
Yup - it's only you.
I reread your post & the post you were replying to. You are right - sorry about that.
