Hell! That is so true, I went to Zen Magnets' site to order some of their magnets just because I wanted to stick it to the "man", but I found out that thousands of Slashdotters had already beat me to it. Guess what? Zen Magnet is out of inventory for EVERYTHING! That includes their $172 package.
This is all okay with me, as long as they don't use JCL. Ayyy I hated that shit when learning assembler on the 360, but then again they never thought JCL and didn't have any books on it, which is probably why I hated it.
Which in today's terms means 'we made this whole thing up' just to fill a gap in the so-called news...
Not necessarily. The stars are aligned for this to happen. Look at these points:
1. Most iPods and iPhones are used by Windows users. You can deduce this by the sheer number of Windows machines over Macs.
2. Most users of iTunes have a love/hate relationship, specially those on Windows. (Ok. Maybe most hate it, except the Mac users) I have never seen such popular software remove the user SO MUST from the hardware it enables the user to use.
3. Google has the cash to undermine/underbid the iTunes store prices. Hell, they might even subsidize the cost of the media at the beginning, like they do everything else (note: They give everything away for free)
4. Google has the clout to convince record companies that this/competition will be a good thing.
Yeah, but what they don't tell you is if it's compatible with MS-DOS 3.3. It might as well be a paperweight if I can't get my DOS games to load faster.
I would actually hate for this to happen, since I'm a contractor and those are dollars that would get taken away from me.
An average worker would love to get paid more for the extra time he/she puts in. The amount of work doesn't actually change, so the work I'm contracted still needs to be done, but now there's no money to pay me to do it.
Me, on the other hand, LOVE to work since I get paid for every hour I put in. I routinely work 60 hours/week, sometimes 80 or 90.
Hell, sometimes I work 200+ hours/week on paper (actually I'm kidding, but you get my point)
You missed my point. What I was trying to say was that the incompetence of the six officers to subdue him (He wasn't a pro wrestler or even big by any means) doesn't justify their having used a taser.
Did you watch the video? They had him on the ground and were trying to cuff him, but he was struggling against it. As you should be able to see, it's a lot harder for multiple people bigger than the person they're trying to arrest to actually cuff a guy. Watch the video. They can't get his arms into position even with a guy on each limb.
I call BS. Are you telling me that six officers, having gone through training on how to subdue subjects via various means (bending hand forward, twisting arm behind and so on), can't overcome one person for the three seconds that are needed to cuff him? If that's the case then I can see why they used a taser.
There was no reason he should have gotten tasered. Taser, while effective, can be lethal depending on the subject's health condition (See Wikipedia's Electroshock weapon controversy).

I don't know if you guys remember Quarterdeck's Desqview. It was the first multitasking piece of software in DOS and allowed multiple programs to be ran, not simultaneously, but swapped in and out of RAM/hard disk and kinda allow you to multitask. I remember spending hours and hours setting up all my programs so that they could work under Desqview. If you had expanded memory, that was GREAT since you didn't have to swap to disk.
Ahhhh, those days, and the kind of things programmers had to do with such little hardware resources, and what they accomplished. It puts us to shame.
Man: Honey, you wanna make love? Woman: Sure (starts to get naked) Man: Hey! Let's play roles! Let's put on LCD masks. Woman: Hmmmmm, okay. But who do you want me to be? Man: Let's do it Indian poker style. You select my mask, and I select yours, and we'll never know whose face we're wearing. Woman: K. (Chooses Brad Pitt for him) Man: *Yum* Ok. (Chooses Angelina Jolie) Hey, can I put bigger boobs on your LCD shirt? Woman: Only if I can put a strap-on around your hip

I can just hear the conversation in the bedroom:
Man: Honey, you wanna make love?
Woman: Sure (starts to get naked)
Man: Hey! Let's play roles! Let's put on LCD masks.
Woman: Hmmmmm, okay. But who do you want me to be?
