I can see it comming. A confrontation betwen two armed groups of thugs. The first group is
using a version of linux in their revolvers but is having problems setting the extended partitions. (Each bullet can only go into a specific location in the cylinder.) Once everything
is set up it works fine though configuration can be tough. The other group is running Windows BE (Bullet Edition) in their Glocks. Very easy to use however they forgot to install the newest
patches in their bullets and Windows wants to validate the OS before it will let them fire. There is some problem with the trigger driver but there is a work around in the knowledgebase.
The net result is that neither group actually gets any shots off and they end up using knives and clubs.
Think what could happen if this busines model of giving the customer what they wanted was applied to other websites.
Inagine CraigPortal. Much like yahoo.com but without all those annoying flash annimation ads. Other ads would be restricted to only a few per page. And no animated gifs either.
Or CraigMail. Much like Gmail but with a max limit of only two ads per page. (something has to pay for the servers and bandwidth)
Who is responsible for the cheesy background music that gets mixed in during post-production and why can't they be used as a crash test dummy? The annoying music reduces the content of the program.
Is this like the "Swine Flu" of the 1970's

Back in the early 1970's there was a similar situation with what was supposed to be the next big killer flu edidemic know as the "Swine Flu". Then president Jerry Ford made it a matter of national
importance to develope a vacine that was supposed to ward off this impending killer.
From what I can recall, the vacine was much more dangerous than that years flu.
What we need is a dual passphrase encryption method. One phrase would unlock a safe area where you could store financial records, medical records, the novel that you are working on, etc. The other phrase would unlock the stuff you really wanted to keep private. If asked for the password/phrase you could easily give the one for the 'safe' area. The police would would happily go away convinced that you had complied and were of no interest to them.
Maxtor screwed be also. Claimed the check had been send though I never received it. Attempts to get my money were in vain. Now I buy Western Digital drives.
Print out (and save)a copy of the job advertisment that you are applying for. Wwhen I was laid off and searching for a job, I received a call about a position that I had applied for 2 months before. Before going in for the interview I had a chance to research the company refresh myself on the skills thaat they wanted. I ended up getting the job.

I guess this means that "Grand Theft Auto - Tiananmen Square" is also out.
