Back in the day, the American's had a problem with the Ku Klux Klan. They were loud, vocal, and a Christian minority. How did the American's deal with these people? They marginalized them. They made it so that appearing anywhere and declaring loyalty to the clan instantly made you an idiot as far as anyone was concerned. Until the muslim world, - or at least the countries where these people are able to generate large amounts of public support for the actions- marginalize them, I will not respect them. I will not accept the 'minority' arguments. It is up to their own people to control them. It is not enough to simply say 'well I don't support them'. The society needs to marginalize them. Until then, the moderate opinion from any of the affected countries is a moot point as far as I'm concerned and I will not play a dove in this situation.
"and never having to worry about a blue screen of death"
I always wonder if the zealots realise that their constant referral to the blue screen of death is seen as analogous to the administration's constant referrals to 'Terrorists'. It has been quite well established that in Windows versions since 2000, BSOD is virtually eliminated, and when it does occur, is likely to have been caused by a poorly written driver (a similar cause for kernel panics).
Yes, Microsoft Office is expensive.
Yes OOo is cheap.
Yes OOo can fit the needs of a lot of users.
No it does not fit the need of all users.
I'm sick of the FUD on both sides.
We are starting to see variants of CoolWebSearch popping up on computers at work (I work for my residence computer service). Anyone who has dealt with CWS knows it's a pain; few virus/spyware detectors find it. It blocks windows registry editor from showing values that give it's existence away (you need to use reglite or autoruns(which misses some). The variants are becomming even more tricky as silentrunners and CWShredder aren't catching them. That and they don't noticably kill performance. As far as spyware goes, it's really best in class right now.
I've never understood the big deal. It's not costly to dress nicely to work. Buy dark pants that will work with most shirts and go nuts. Is it hard to understand that the way you look impacts what people will think about you? Well, I suppose I don't really care, less competition at work is less competition at work.
For the record, I am a huge fan of the obesity epidemic... well as long as more men are obese than women anyhow, that ratio changes and I'm a be pissed.
You are correct, it does not produce more energy. However, hydrogen allows for much better combustion and operation of the engine which improves the efficiency of the next cycle to allow the total energy to be above the break even point.
This is actually a question I've had for awhile, but I didn't feel like getting modded into oblivion. Everytime a thread starts on how to make money on OSS, people tend to suggest support or write books on the software.
Now, I can agree with the support, and that makes sense to me, but why shouldn't books be free and open as well? I mean, does it take any more effort to write a book than it does to write software? If the code is freely available shouldn't the book be as well?
I suppose so far as that goes, I see it only reasonable that google can release info from books that are free and open, and we simply encourage more authors to free up their work.
We got Jesse Lumsden now. All will be good. Plus, Bob Young has brought the people back to the game. I love heading downtown to watch the cats play now... even if they aren't so hot this season (or 2 seasons ago). I believe it'll only get better. I have nothing but respect for Bob Young, he has done a great service for Hamilton.
If the telecom's can get the market deregulated,they should be able to push the smaller guys (vonage) out of the market. The risks are certainly high in the TechCom market pending regulatory approval, but the payoff for those who choose wisely is going to be big.
The ISP thing was kinda weird though... at first there was no behemoth, AOL couldn't corner the market over the little guys, and then all of the sudden as things progressed the standard big players moved in... I don't know who you guys have down south, but up here Bell, Rogers and Cogeco dominate. I'm going to bet they take over the voIP business eventually as well, as they are asking(probably get their way) for an unregulated voIP market. They'll have enough muscle to shove the small guys out of the market.
prolly get modded off topic, but for the web devs out there

Healthcare Advocates is suing Health Advocates. When Health Advocates (Defense) and their lawyers (Defense) used the Wayback machine to try to prove the case frivolous, Healthcare Advocates (Plaintiff) tried to block their access to historical content (which does seem to make their case look dubious). However, the access was not successfully blocked, so the plaintiff is going after the Internet Archive and Health Advocate's(Defense) lawyers. Seems like more of a smoke wall than anything else.
"While InterVideo is likely to update its software to block the use of this patch, it appears that DVD-Audio's CPPM has been compromised at least in DVD-Audio discs up until this time or until the keys used in the current versions of WinDVD that this tool works on are revoked in upcoming DVD-Audio disc releases."
It would seem their copy protection scheme will block this work around by revoking keys as pointed out in the article. So until someone comes out with a real crack, CPPM will remain a pain.
"farming out all the stuff that Amazon does"
Farming out to whom? I can only assume you mean allowing authors to sell their products directly through their own online stores? Done
This however does not replace the service Amazon provides. At its core, yes Amazon is an online store, however it does much more than that. It makes recommendations to buyers through book reviews and by using empirical data to make recommendations to a consumer on what they may also be interested in. The system has saved me from buying many books that might have been a waste of money while allowing me to quickly research and locate the books containing the information I want. Why would I want to take a step backwards as a consumer and become less educated about the products I buy?
you and your 'wife/girlfriend'* decide to film a night of 'getting down'. You get drunk the next night and tell your buddy. Your buddy decides you should release the tape. You are vehemently against this. But your buddy insists that you shouldn't be able to keep that creative work private.
At this point, would you not argue that the tape is indeed yours, and as your own creation you (and your wife/girlfriend*) have the right to choose what to do with it?
*pretend you aren't a slashdotter for a moment please
you are a self righteous pansy. last summer in my neighbourhood two guys jumped a man and beat him while he was on the ground. the newspaper report said many onlookers at a pizza parlour stood by and just watched. If one guy could have lead the crowd and the other people weren't so self interested, they could have prevented the man on the ground from taking a huge beating and sent a message to the criminals that we will not tolerate their violence.
A verbal warning will not stop them.
How can you be so disconnected from your fellow man that you do not wish to help someone in need? How can you honestly feel it is not our business to help those in need?
I hope that one day, God forbid, you don't find yourself on the receiving end of a public jumping where your fellow citizens feel it is not their business to get involved.
'Cause plain and simple, we tolerate violent criminals behaviour, and the violence will continue.
You don't have to go it alone. You don't have to risk your own safety. But you'd be surprised of how one leader can motivate a crowd of conscientious onlookers.
It is unlikely a tablet PC screen will meet your artistic needs in the near future.
Wacom produces screens for tablet PCs. You can see the specs are unimpressive even when compared to a generic tablet. However, take a look at their Cintiq line./pixar uses them

DivX 6.0 is Out

DIVX 6 has a movie viewer. But it is not a viewer. VLC is a viewer, albeit a very nice one that embraces a filter instead of codec approach. You use VLC to view DIVX files.
Good then you agree. WMV it is.
uhh.. or.. how about multilple formats, each being fully open which allow me to switch to any future codecs or other current codecs that meet my needs.

I don't quite get where you are going with that... they are switching to x86. That's what the development kits are for, and that's what the announcement was for.
