You'd think he'd reference the guys who are diehard fanatics instead of the some guy who has 5 ideas.
This is the place to find all the info, comparisons, and information for people who want more than just "you should think about changing out some parts in your system".
Wrong, there's one in Manhattan. Someone else noted there were 3 in Wichita. I imagine Lawrence, Topeka, and the part of Kansas City in Kansas also have a sprinkling of them.
I am one of those people who haven't bought a single CD since college. I believe myself to be a rare case though, since I'm still so poor (man, what did that college degree do for me besides get me into debt?) that I can't really afford to buy one - even one of those indie labels that claims to be free of all the extra baggage, yet costs more or less the same (yeah yeah, they still have costs, I know).
Wow, that's like a decade without investing in new music. I'd never realized how stuck in a rut I was.
I think it'd be a total coup for Bill to be seen with one and just say offhandedly, "Oh, they're pretty good" and then go back to whatever he was doing. It boggles the mind that management at Microsoft has nothing better to do than chase down iPod users. That employees think they have to hide them is frightening. I can only imagine that meeting with the boss:
"Uhh, yeah. We've seen you using an MP3 player made by someone other than us. We're going to have to let you go."
And if the patent office is flooded with patents at the same time as being told by the government that they have to be self-supporting, you end up having a lot of applications not given the proper amount of time, and excess patents granted.
Or.. at least, that's the argument of a lot of naysayers of the patent explosion in the 1990s.

Yeah, he actually has to search. The rest of us already know where to go.
Strange, the "Why worry about searches when you have nothing to hide" argument is the same one that Ashcroft et. al use when justifying increases in government invasion into the home.
Is it ok to use the argument here but not for government security? I mean, isn't fighting terrorism more important than some silly piece of ad/spy/malware? Perhaps it's slashdot, and these logical chasms are permissable.
It's a shame that this is what society, especially in America, has come to. You can't take someone at their word that your personal information is safe, you have to opt-out to some things, opt-in, to others, sign this form, mail your handwriting in triplicate to this address, yadda yadda yadda. And that's just your bank.
While I certainly know all the economics that are at play here to encourage such behavior, the number of companies that actually give a shit about more than the next earnings report are clearly shrinking. Whatever happened to the decency of NOT being forced to live in the glass house?
Nasty? But I got all this stuff installed on my hard drive without having to worry about it. Programs like Gator are so nice! I mean, they pop up without me even having to find them.
And Norton says this one programs says it's logging my keystrokes. It's so nice to have a typing analyst installed automatically. I wonder if it'll tell me which words I misspell the most.
Another important thing these companies are doing is making room for a "value" segment of the market. Cox in Phoenix, after raising all $50/mo customers from 3Mb/256 to 4MB/512 then began (very quietly) selling "Value" cable internet of bidirectional 256k for $25/mo. Now they can squeeze Qwest DSL from both directions - the cheap aspect with "better than dial-up" speed at a fairly low price, and the speed aspect, where they come much closer to obliterating Qwests's bidirectional 768. It's always about a bottom line.
Slashdot Mirror
It's only a story a month old. I love saturdays on slashdot.
I'm far more concerned about the "defective tin foil hat" production facility they're building next to those helium tanks.

I was in there the other day and had a weak signal (perhaps not from them). Perhaps the housing division nearby one of them LINKSYS hookups.

This is one step away from figuring out how to delay the vulnerability until the patch is availible. Duh.
Only the ones unable to apply Slashfix. Get it here
Guess they'll be looking to fix that download manager even sooner, now.

and no sales tax!
Well, it's gentoo. So software rendering will be SUPER SUPER optimized.
The best defense: I was here trying to get WMAs working on it, boss! See, then we can convert all those iPod users to us! Honest!

Because we keep holding out hoping Quicken will make a Linux port. Do *you* want to try and re-enter 7 years of transactions? I know I don't.
You would find it ironical that the integrated video on the Tyan server board is an Ati Rage, then.
You're new around here, aren't you?
Aha! Finally a reason for me to have been running BeOS for all these years!

Kimberly Rines asked for it. It's part of their "pretend to suck up to the customer" campaign.
Both! MWA HA HA HA HA HA.
