As everyone knows the Internet was set up for Business People and Sports Fans.
Once this is successful, the ISPs should go after the scientists using the Internet. What the hell are they doing? Computer Geeks should get the boot too. What do they know about 'puters.
They were using Word to write the document. And even though they wanted to save it as a text file, Word wouldn't let them because it didn't recognize the format.
There's also a free yoke called mbrfix, that you can download. It works quite well when you have to return a laptop to the M$ bitches that you work for.
However, just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should.
* Dictators who buy yachts, guns, planes while their people starve.
* Countries with out of control population growths living in self induced poverty
* Getting a solution to Iraq/Afghanistan
* International law and terrorists, making smaller countries comply
* Making the UN more constructive and productive so we don't think they are an expensive ineffective joke I have always wondered why the UN is located in the US. Now I get it. It's so simple when you think about it, put the potential solution to your problems next to the cause of your problems. Genius.
You are correct in everything, except in saying that there is only one issue. There are two issues, firstly, the obvious point that you make, which is absolutely correct.
The second issue is that the rest of the world always has the nuclear option to split the DNS system and provide their own. Would the US allow (1) short term global chaos followed by (2) an Internet where they had absolutely not control or had to petition for a minority role? Simple answer, they can't afford to.
I'm not saying that such an outcome is a foregone conclusion - but what it does mean is that the possession being 9/10ths of the law argument is not enough, and that the US cannot just say 'We have and we're keeping it'. They must compromise.
It's an interesting document and suggests that the camp is well run and respectful of the 'inmates'. Good to see.
However, the violation of their human rights comes not from their treatment in the camp, but from the very existence of the camp in the first place. That is the crime that Bush has committed.
I more meant that the cheapest you would get any PC for here would be €300, (though you could probably get a dell for about €150 - but that has no keyboard, screen, mouse, software, support, case etc...) and I presume that the Walmart PC is pretty much the bottom of the market too (price not quality).

The ASUS 701 Eee became recently available at €354 (inc VAT), which is the equivalent of $200 over here.
It pretty much sold out instantly. I bought one and five people I know bought one, and everyone is constantly monitoring 'Order Tracking' pages.
When you consider that this at a time when Linux is 'not suitable' for the desktop and for which there is 'very little demand' - I would have to believe that Microsoft and their FUD-spinners must be very concerned.
We should not be in any doubt, notwithstanding Linux's inherent brilliance, that the price is a major factor in the success of these new machines. But it must not be forgotten that Linux has two major advantages over Windows for price competitiveness:
1. Linux runs much better on entry-level or obsolete hardware. 2. Linux is free.
Microsoft might be able to address the second point. But they have shown release after release that the first point is beyond their ability. Now they have a double edge sword at their throats, in that every release of Windows must demand more and more from the hardware manufacturers just to stand still - while Linux soaks up that capacity to race ahead.
That's what they are for - to provide a separate legal entity, if the 'company' invents the thing instead of you then the non-compete is totally irrelevant.
1. Company A (Microsoft) infringes on Company B's (Timeline's) Patent 2. Company B details the infringement to Company A 3. Company A either accepts the claim and pays a settlement
or
Company A contests the claim and wins or loses.
Now if a company like Microsoft can understand this process, why can't a company like Microsoft understand this process?

It's actually higher in the 'Top ten terrible tech products that are still being produced' list.

I get that bit. But who's this CmdrTaco chap.
Working stiffs paying taxes that fund liberals in college and retired conservatives, with no time to contemplate the injustice of their situation.

You're mixing your metaphors.
It's either 'A Multifold Advance in Cloning' or 'A Giant Step in Genetic Engineering of Monkeys with really big legs'.

As I understand it, qOS is Ubuntu with Enlightment as the default window manager.
It is also set up for a load of WebApps by default.
It's designed to run on low-level PCs. LifeHacker had a nice article about using it to revitalize your old PC.
