The left thinks they have the power of God. Since God created all of this, do you really think that He gave us the power to destroy it? We can only effect our small piece of it in a small way. When you start trying to mess with it, God will put a a stop to it. He has limited us this way.
The word to use here is "merchantability". If the package does not state the limitation, the user has the right to return the product for a full refund on any issue he discovers that will not let him use the product after he opens it.
The buyer has the right to expect use based on what is on the outside of the package. Otherwise, it the seller is liable for fraud.
"refused the offers on conflict of interest grounds"
This is very true. Those scientist have an interest to the people who originally funded them and that is the liberal left. The interest there is anti-capitalism, anti-competition and totally socialist. If course it is a "conflict of interest". If anyone has payed attention, the not government and education based funding has proof of non-human effects on climate change while those funded always claim that we are responsible for global warming.
One word - PRICE. The WII is affordable and reasonably priced. The games are fun playing games and stuff for non-gamers. PS3 and Xbox are gamers game machines and are not practical for non games and casual players. I, for one, have never been able to master the illogical and impractical coordination of controls to games. The WII elimnates that problem for a reasonable price.
I don't know what church they go to. The one I go to bends over backwards to help in situations like that. We even maintaine a seperate fund to help out with bills and expenses for lossed due to fire, theft, death, and loss of employemnt. We even have our own counseling and prayer team for just such emergencies. We even help friends and relatives of our attendees. We believe in sharing Christ's love!
"I have no need for third-party spyware hunters or virus protection"
When the mac ownes more than 35% of the desktop market, that will change. The mac has never been much of a target because there isn't enough of them to do any serious damage.
I think that Alan did the best thing for DRM than anyone has ever done.
RedHat won't license it if the patent is granted and Alan will be soul owner.
I want a piece of his action! Hell, I'll even pay for his lawyers!
Anyhting that prohibits "fair use" is bad. DRM is a virus that invects everywhere.
"If the gap between rich and poor gets too large, and if those at the bottom feel they have no meaningful route to the riches at the top, then the fabric of society will fray, or even come unraveled entirely."
What the author chooses to ignore is that the average criminal is too lazy, dumb, and foolish to know how to create income honestly. Along with that, these people continue to churn out more kids with no moral standards who perpetuate this. The wise know better and are not criminals. In a free society, this is normal.
The author also exlcuded the fact that market forces determine how much you make. If you have something to offer someone in the lines of goods and services, and, they want those, they will pay you. It is truly that simple. You earn what you are worth. The community I live in has almost no crime. Why? The only crime we have is a rare murder (drug related) and occasion theft (kids, those that lack wisdom). My community is mostly made up of people who provide value to society.
Mod points are of little value, give them to me, I don't need them.
Actuall, there is a point here. I too still use an HD capable CRT. This article illustrates the reason HDTV is not hitting real mainstream. I know of only 3 in the 60 some homes that I am freinds with and, only 2 of those use HD tuners to watch anything (all mostly sports).
The statement "and people find themselves buying Xboxes for the games" is total crap becuase the target audience is too narrow. We have computers in our home (linux and windows) and video game systems (ps2, wii, ds). Xbox offers nothing for the family of small kids and is abusurdly expensive. I will not have one in my home -- ever. It brings nothing new to gaming (some poeple call better video new but no new gaming experience) than a PC already has.
Office XP works fine on our 10,000 installations. I have no requirment to downgrade it to any newer version and the expense in software (let alone retraining) is definitly not worth it.
The answer here is simple. Virtualization is usless in a desktop multimedia user environment. Video cards, sound cards and the like are bus mastering devices and you cannot virtualize hardware access unless you own the whole environment. In simple terms, virtualization is only usefull in the server arena and useless on the desktop.
I will make this real simple for the stuck-up tiny Europeans who don't have a clue.
The reason is size. I am 6'6" tall (2.52meters) and I am tired of trying to stuff my 230lb mass into those tiny cars made for wee little people. Besides, in an accident (just say, head on at around 30 MPH) you will become crushed and inseperable from that wee tiny car of yours and I will just step out and laugh becuase you were too dumb to buy a solid vehicle.
My SUV just ran over you gas saving wee little car. Does the roof feel good against your knees?
Am I the first to sugguest that everyone who the RIAA failed to get any judgment against, file a class action lawsuit against these bullies. Let's see them get hit with a $1 billion dollar class action lawsuite from a team of high power ambulance chasers. That will get thier attention.
I have used IDEs from many sources and M$ has the best when it comes to visual studio. It integrates with the OS, is customizable for drivers and tools and beats them all!
MSDN is the best developers tools on the planet.
.NET leaves a lot to be desired.
Google has the best people and a far better working environment that nurtures innovation.
God has a sense of humor. When he created everything, he figured that there would be some idiots (we call them scientists but not all fall into the idiots class) that wouldn't believe the truth so He created a past that they could track down and say "see, there is no creation, just evolution" just to keep them busy.

I am still not spending one penny on any HD content, media or TVs until there is an affordable standard. (maybe never?)

She was beautiful before the surgery. The surgery made her ugly. What a moron!
Now that is just plain DUMB!

I can beat it as long as the price is absurd. When I can get my phone for $0 and a valued MP3 Player for under $200, what value is the iphone?

Only my grandmother would use a mac.

I just trademarked "iDoorStop", "iPaperWieght", and "iNotFunny"

Criminals of this ilk tend to be stupid.
Big endian is bass ackwards and risc cannot outperform cisc in real applications (only theoretical).

Even a broken clock is correct two times a day. This is one time I have to aggree with Dvorak.
Nobody can come up with one compelling reason to downgrade to Vista. Not One!

Somehow, I expect Vista to go the same way.
