When I worked at Best Buy I can't tell you how many people I had come up to me and ask me where we kept out Dells. After I told them that we didn't sell Dell computers, they would walk out.
Well the rep who is going to do this was more than likely going to be there that day anyway, so he/she was going to be paid regardless. Like some of the services that Best Buys Geek Sqaud offers this would be nothing but a pure revenue stream for them after they pay off the equipment costs. I think CC could make a come back if they keep playing their cards right. I know a lot of people that stopped going to Best Buy because they were sick of getting told what they needed. Most people already know, I know I sure do. And if I have any questions then I'll ask.
Microsoft developed its own product-activation technologies well before z4 Technologies filed for its patent.'
This comming from the same company that wanted to patent the TCP/IP protocol a few years back?
Mrs. Balmer..."oh honey...look at what I found in little steves sock drawer while I was cleaning today....and look at what I found on his computer."
Mr. Balmer..."oh my god, no...not my son....DEAR GOD PLEASE NO!!! STEVE JUNIOR...GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!!!"

Little Steve..."errr ummm...I was holding it for a friend! I swear! And my other friend was using my PC the other day, I didn't know!"
Mr. Balmer..."oh so your friend wanted you hold on to his Nano for him, and your "other" friend just happend to be looking at that SMUT search engine..."
Little Steve..."yes"
Mr. Balmer..."go upstairs...your mother and I need to talk about this"
Little steve..."yes sir"..."man, I better move that MacBookPro and linux server out of my closet...."
Just solidified any doubts I had about picking this thing up. I still have my old sega sitting ontop of my PS2 and X-box, so this is nothing but gold for me.
"The suggestion is that we are working with governments to create a back door so that they can always access BitLocker-encrypted data,' Niels Ferguson, a developer and cryptographer at Microsoft, wrote Thursday on a corporate blog. 'Over my dead body,' he wrote in his post titled Back-door nonsense."
I think we would be reading about his dead body if he came out and admitted that there were backdoors being put into Vista.
Wasn't nortons on this kick a few months ago? Anyway, turn off Bluetooth when your not using it (maybe a quick enable button on the phone its self?), and don't open email on your cell phone....seems pretty stimple to me. Of course so do the policies to keep them off your PC too.
heres an idea....why don't the ISP's try upgrading their systems and get us up where the rest of world seems to be. Verison seems to be the only one not kicking and screaming about getting us caught up with the 50 meg+ countries...
Myspace for a while,but between the millions of teenagers whineing about how their life sucks and no one understand them, and the 40 year old men pretending to be teenagers who's life sucks and nobody understands them, I couldn't ever seem to logon with out some sort of error.
Mr. Mitnick is forgetting that most people want to see the proprietary software code because it is closed to prying eyes. Where as OSS being open to everyone is less appealing. And any issues that need to be fixed will be in a shorter time due to more people around the globe working on it. Where as with Proprietary software you have a small team working on it. They also have the added task (in Microsoft's case) of it having to be test on many different systems due to the large and various types of machines the software is being run on.
Maybe a few years down the road we could get some video with this? In class lectures while being able to see whats being put on the board would would be great.

Guess it's a good thing I quit after I found out how things really were.

Untill the Supreme Court rules on this, why do I keep forseeing someone in a Guy Fawkes mask and cape sometime in our countries future?

We've gotten some "Blues Clues" as to whats really going on...
"a drill intended to prepare the U.S. government for an event even more catastrophic than the Sept. 11, 2001,"

That rash is from...uhhhh....whooping cough! I swear! Would I lie to you cindy..I mean mindy?
That this dissapoints me a great deal. I was looking foward to a new crew and new ship set in some sort epic three part series. Not the OC in space.

No...theres 5 people in a board room who think thats what all the world wants. I doubt I'm in the minority here.
not all of us WANT all in one devices. I like my phone, MP3 player, and PDA being separate devices. If one breaks I'm not screwed three times over.
SCO has moved over seas and is believed to be setting up shop in another country....
