This is a market that is going to disapear. It's that simple.
Kids no longer want a k7 (tape), or a CD, they want an Mp3 reader.
This is the iPod generation. We few that still think that the CD sales will ever get better are kiding ourselves. Think about the LP that is out of style. Only colectors buy them.
If I had all the music I have on CDs my house would be filled with them. This way I save space.
To see it from a legal point of view this idea of yours would be very good.
On the other hand, black-listing a person would be discrimination, besides a few other things.
No one can be targeted as a criminal without being found, proven and tried guilty.
What you are talking about is a crime.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Black-listing all those tipped to be criminals is a crime against human rights.
You're not the Gestapo or P.I.D.E., you are a simple salesman of goods.
Your market is disapearing, change your act.
Make yourself a diferent kind of salesman.
Instead of selling cds, offer the listening experience in a nice confortable manner. With coffee, and cakes.
CDs are a dying breed and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Pirates just see farther ahead that's all.
I know that unless some sort of breaking technological invention comes around Windows is going to be sold the same way as always.
Hacked, cracked and free of charges towards Microsoft.
I also know that only a select few are trully interested in Vista without Aero, and that most people don't know that they'll have to pay the price for that. Vista is about choices, but I dought that many people will care for Vista if it doesn't introduce the shiny factor into their lives.
As for when it's released... I think most people won't be buying a computer just for this Operating system. Rather they wait.
I'd recomend making him do community service, tech support for the elderly, and not having a computer for a few months. Besides no parties, no friends and the such...
Of course 1 webmail for a year without spam proctection that would be given to all would be quite nice...
So this is good news for people to keep their AMD CPU's and this will boost 64bit usage in the future....Right...
Just means loads of people will make my head turn to water when they all come back to annoy me about their precious HD content and their low grade computers!
Geek hormones vented! ^_^
Another crack to be expected when massive usage of HD content breaks piracy support.
I have been a sci-fi nutcase all my life, and my sister is just as much of a nut about scifi as I am.
So I guess it's only fair that I say it, if no one else will.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! !!
I'll stop now...
I also want to thank you crazy nuts out there that allowed the series to have enough support to last all this time, and the people making it for surviving this much time with these many supporting geeks and freaks after you.
I'm a freakish scifi geek and proud of it!
They are going to use the moon because Mars is just too far away.
They would have to use many travels at one time to make the base within any kind of schedule.
That would mean multiple rockets at one time.
The moon is easier. It's also closer, so if there is trouble you can have people come over in a day or two.
Just think about it! They loose their internet connections and all those gamers in the moon can't play their respective games? Somebody's gonna get hurt real bad!
The best chance at an electric car is probably with those nano capacitors/. spoke about a while back. The expected improvements were amazing. Even tho it's still in dev stage...
Petroleum is too much of a dependency for the worlds economy. So many things are made out of it's derivatives that we should be saving it as much as possible. Otherwise we face it running out when we're not ready for it.
Electricity is far better of an option when compared to Petroleum.
So far it's been obstructed or chalenged as a replacement for Pretroleum because most interested in the development of electricity are making more money from petroleum.
This world is not sustainable how it's being run. We might still save it from destroying us if we stop and correct our mistakes. I dought that, tho. Personally I think all this save the world talk is too late, and we are ice creams waiting to happen. Not before the earthquakes, tornados, volcanos, blah, blah, blah... You all know the drill! Kiss your own ass goodbye, 'cause you stepped on some big shoes and they're about to squish you...
This can't go forward!
I don't live in the UK, but this sends an precedent for other countries that cannot be made.
This opens the doors to abuse under suspicion. These penalties have not been made except under tirany.
Finally they're supporting it!
Let's see if it's the old sort of angry support where the feature is so buried that it might as well not exist, or if it's real support with an easy and simple way to get threw to the desired effect.
I think they can now delay the support until the entire thing is just forgotten, or bury the feature so far it's never found unless you have a map.
Personally I think this thing will never end.
Now if the fine goes retroactive...
If the fine comes to 2.5million dollars since the rulling if you loose, then maybe Microsoft will start to get annoyed with this. Otherwise it's just silly for Microsoft.
They probably are spending more than that on lawyers just to make a point and not loose face.
I believe that the rulling should hinder their monopoly some more.
You have x months to comply or the retroactive fines will double in value.
I believe that the old school windows classic appearance could be made open without much trouble after Vista...
I'd actually like to see the fine follow the same rule as that tale of the old egyptian man and the checkers board. 1$ on the first and you double the previous value each new day.
He can talk the talk! But can he walk the walk?
It's nice that some person who I've, personally, never heard of before is taking the reigns of MSFT.
It's nice he's saying that simple is the future.
I still haven't seen anything to judge, but a simpler Windows is a good thing.
They could take hints from the GUI of the Open Source side of life.
Perhaps make a Windows Legacy version to support all the Old timers out there and make all new versions not support any legacy at all!
Like we've all heard before! "Talk is cheap!"
I'm thinking this might be a great improvement in terms of the battery life of mobile probucts...
On the other hand it might be very sensitive to mechanical impact.
That would probably end up reducing the battery power anyway.
Leading to more expensive waste...
This is one of the reasons I dislike USA...
How can you the people allow your this sort of thing to happen?
Soon you'll have a cage so tight that there will be more prisons than freedom.
Don't bitch about it here if you know about it. Do something!
At least if you didn't know about it that would be an excuse.
Loads of stupid politicians take hints from what your country does, and your politicians are dumber than anyone else. You all know who I'm talking about! At least ours are crocked and smart...
Imagine if it worked the other way around and it needed warmth to work...
A computer would run faster and faster!
Buying a P1 133Mhz today would be your 3GHz tomorrow!
Maybe sometime after this technology would be popularized you would see computers that need hugs to work! or rubbing...
Does this mean that my Palm wil, in years to come need the sun to work? or maybe a fridge? How big will the batteries be? Will i need gloves?
How cold is it when u freeze light? Cold as Hell?
Light Speed isn't absolute... A portuguese man discored that when the Big-Bang ocurred the speed of light had many zeros in front of the normal number...
How do u freeze light? Who makes that fridge? Does it make ice cubes?

Special guest appearance from the makers of the BSOD, and the upcoming RSOD, Microsoft!
"The only time Microsoft will produce a product that doesn't suck will be when it produces a vacuum-cleaner."
The Earth has barely noticed we were here. After all! What's a few billion years to a creature that can live as long as it can.

I can see it now! A B.S.O.D. or the new R.S.O.D. when the car is just about to start. They want smaller costs? How about a great new "Crash me!" game?
