So the money comes from commercial concerns and the next thing you know the channel is covering up reports on dangerous products in order to defend a large commercial interest
You should read this book It covers this story & a lot more interesting stories & coverups - foreword by Gore Vidal.

My contacts, for example, are marketted as daily wear. However, they're the exact same contacts that the manufacturer sells as their multi-use contacts, just in a different box.
If you are saying that disposable & non-disposable contact lenses are the same, then this isn't strictly true.
In the beginning, few contact lens manufactures sold their regular lenses as disposable ones. But today it's no longer true.
Care to elaborate? Just what part of the software stack is missing?
The part, which makes Joe Sixpack want to buy it
pre-installed from his local Best Buy.
Should this really be considered news? I mean, a lot of groups are looking at doing movie downloads...
I have just submitted a story to slashdot which says that I am considering downloading a movie from Napster as soon as they start providing it. Hopefully you should see the story on the main page soon.
There's a progman.exe in XP sp2, (\windows\system32\progman.exe) but I can't get the thing to run. I've used progman.exe in ME before. It's been updated with each release of windows and is probably kept for legacy purposes.
I think progman.exe can still be used as the default shell by tweaking some registry settings though I haven't tried it.
Other than that, some legacy setup programs rely on being able to start Progman.exe & install some icons on it.
Plus, there are a lot of icons available in progman.exe which can be used otherwise.
Am I the only one who can't hear the audio on this file? I've tried totem, xine and vlc, and nothing wants to play the audio...
Nah, I can hear it fine.
You probably have an *IOERROR*.
The conventional argument I recall for using header files, and incremental compilation, is that it's faster to use a makefile and conditionally build only those files that have changed
No it isn't. Header files doesn't help in incremental compilation. Atleast not in C.
The reason for header files is 1) Function prototyping. Otherwise, you may have to prototype functions in all source files 2) For structure definitions. Otherwise, you may have to do it in all source files. 3) #defines. Same reason
Because it pertains to your right to say what you just said. Literary elements such as Satire have allowed people to say things they could not say directly
But how is it related to YRO - Your Rights *ONLINE*
Try getting your returns after the tax season. You can't. So if you print out copies but they are lost/destroyed, you're basically fucked. Happened to me this last year.. now I'm going to get to re-file Federal. Fortunately I don't owe anything.
Contradict yourself much? You're right, if it weren't for Bill Gates and Windows most of the world would still be using some DOS variant or an IBM terminal.
No. It's even bigger than this. Before Microsoft, Computers were used only by Banks, Insurance Companies etc & Hobbyists.
So I've decided to vote Libertarian
If you are a Kerry supporter, this is stupid, IMHO.
Assuming Kerry wins the Electoral Vote, but loses
the Popular Vote, then his presidency will have the
an air of illegitimacy about it. Bush was able to
overcome this because partly because he didn't care,
& partly because the Republicans controlled the
house & senate.
If you truly want to send a message about Bush,
the only way to do it is if Kerry wins the Popular
Vote also & by a decent margin. This is where Blue
state votes are also very important for Kerry.
This is such a lame farse. How about we hold a contest to see how many things we can photoshop into the President's suit.

The article says "Was it possible the bulge had been Photoshopped onto Bush's back by a lone conspiracy buff? It turns out that all of the video of the debate was recorded and sent out by Fox News, the pool broadcaster for the event. Fox sent feeds from multiple cameras to the other networks, which did their own on-air presentations and editing.
To watch the debate again, I ventured to the Web site of the most sober network I could think of: C-SPAN. And sure enough, at minute 23 on the video of the debate, you can clearly see the bulge between the president's shoulder blades. "
this position required a lot of travel and when they travelled, they slept two people in the same hotel room because "it's the Wal-Mart way".
This is true since the time of Sam Walton. Sam Walton used to travel coach when he travelled & used to share a hotel room with others he travelled with.
Sam Walton used to say that every penny I spend unneccesarily comes from the customers wallet & I have to make sure Walmart cuts any expenditure it can.

Do you have to sit the entire time?
Even if he doesn't have to now, he will soon want
to - once he takes up some other slashdotter's suggestion to bike 5 hours to work.

Mozilla Thunderbird can't auto-select Japanese fonts appropriately, IN JAPAN!
That's because in Japan, the fonts auto-select the browser.
That, and the fact that piracy is so rampant here that practically everything is "free", makes it hard for OSS to compete.
Does that mean that one of the big reasons why Linux
is a strong competitor in the west is because it's
free & the competitors aren't?
OK - so a free product's revenue is up 35%. That's good news.

I use this to get a copy every year.
I think this tries to highlight another reason why allowing a third party review your code is a good thing
How?
Haven't exploits been found in third party reviewed
code?
The first time you use your debit card or credit card with the card, both of them get linked & they have your real details.
