My gut feeling is that this coalition is mostly talk and not much walk: read a few posts up and Avril's CD/DVD's are apparently all DRM'd to hell and back. I haven't bought the latest BNL CD but the rest are DRM free.

You are thinking too deeply, their point was simply whenever possible one should avoid inserting things into the body that are foriegn, either other peoples blood or even your own blood that has been stored.
It also avoids potential problems like this. (synopsis: Red Cross Canada pleads guilty to killing over 3,000 people due to distributing tainted blood; 1000 contracted HIV, 20,000 hep-c). The less foreign substances you put in your body, the better, besides the fact that stored blood isn't nearly as effective as your own natural blood at carrying oxygen.
The beauty of rational and objective thought is, I DON'T HAVE TO CARE WHO VINT CERF WORKS FOR!
No, the beauty of objective thought is I don't put Vint Cerf on a pedistal. He's just a man. A brilliant man but a man all the same. He gets paid well by a company with a vested interest in a non-tiered internet. The beauty of objective thought is I can keep my perspective and his perspective and Google's perspective all in context without trying to tell people what to think, like you propose to (jumping off on the irrelevant ID tangent, telling mods to mod parent down, etc)...
... but some of the applications are very high tech. People say that CS is in a decline and that CS is gonna die and that China and India are gonna take over, well, I have my doubts. There are the people who talk, and there are the people who *do*.
Uh, Verizon Vireless = verizon the phone company. The check I write out each month for cell phone service is written to "Verizon Wireless." I think you are confused...

I warned her that VZ has a public relations problem but she was too clueless to understand
Meh. Some of us can't complain. They have excellent coverage in the midwest, compared to a lot of carriers. My parents have it, my siblings have it, my wife and I both have it, most of our friends have Verizon cell coverage... we all talk for free. I only spend maybe 20 minutes a month talking on "paid" minutes. Rates are reasonable compared to what I hear some people are paying for Cingular, etc. I haven't found a reason to complain yet...
... last I checked. He wanted to use his parody of Eminem's song for a music video but Eminem declined, but he said that Weird Al could make a song of it. Al respected Eminem's wishes even though under the rules of parody he could have done whatever he wanted. Al's a nice guy.
Sounds like Cringely has been sleeping with Dvorak too long. You know how when couples are with each other for a long time they begin to sound and act like each other...
Outlook + Exchange = yummy. In a corporate environment it is a very good tool, and yea there basically is no replacement as a whole (mail/calendaring/global contacts/mass scheduling/project integration[w/SharePoint]) tool when combined with an Exchange backend.
The journalist label lends no more credibily to a specific individual than the blogger label takes away.
No, its the credibility of the paper they write for. The paper can turn around and fire them, and their name is tarnished. A blogger who gets backlash can close shop, change their nickname and domain name in a matter of minutes and be back in business again. A journalist has far more to lose and will think a little harder before s/he speaks.
The difference *I* see is that the supposed anonymity of a blogger - working from their home behind the front of whatever service they use , using whatever handle they choose - allows them to lash out irrationally. Journalists on the other hand are tied to their real name and to a paycheck. They can hide sources but they can't hide who they are and who they represent. There is a missing layer of credibility in the blog system, and yes there are journalists who lose their credibility but generally when they do they also lose their paycheck and their post.
But then Jesus came to Paul in the New Testament in a vision and told him to eat of an animal with a cloven foot, he said "But lord, this animal is unclean..." Christ told him "No longer"... and I quote:
1 Cor 10:25 - 1 Cor 10:27 (NIV) 25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." 27If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.
I don't care about you, you missed the argument to make an attempt at ripping on someones religion. Lame.
The argument was that Christians are biased, choosing to follow one set of rules while flippantly disregarding another set. I was merely pointing out that one set of rules were invalidated by Christ's resurrection while the other set of rules are still to be followed.
... and get rid of everything that you own that was created by a corporation. Your car, your computer, your iPod. Yes, your house or apartment was even was built by people working for a corporation. So go live on the street, naked, under a cardboard box - oh wait, that too, corporation. Dammit.
The world is not black and white, you need to grow up and see the world as it is.
are forced to turn around and charge their customers / general public.
Nope. They can do what they want with them, within reason. Might be used for private networking within a company, for instance, or perhaps for profit. Heaven forbid a company should make a profit.
With Christ's death and resurrection the ceremonial law was abolished - this covers the shaving and the foods. This does **not** cover homosexuality. Leviticus 21 is prefixed "Speak to the priests and Aaron"... this is directed towards the levites, this is ceremonial law. Leviticus 18 says "Speak to the Israelites." This is religious law that we are still bound to, to this day.
How much more diverse would the PC field be right now, if it wasn't for Microsoft Windows and Office?
So everyone using Linux 2.2.6 and OpenOffice 2 is better than WindowsXP and OpenOffice? I fail to see the difference. Either way you have a staunch majority and lack the divertiy you seek.
If the government decides to use Format X, not only do all of the government's systems have to be upgraded to use this format, but everyone who wants to interact with the government needs to toe the line as well.
Yeah. In case you missed it, Microsoft is a part of the ODF working group. They can keep using Windows and Office. Get over it.
I've bought 2 copies of windows - 95 and XP, plus a copy of Office. One OEM, one out of pocket - grand total to Microsoft, lifetime about $250.
You are majoring in the minors. I chose to buy those licenses because I feel more productive in Windows than in MacOS, and because quite frankly at the purchase of Win95 Linux wasn't mature enough, and at the purchase of WinXP I wanted to play games. I made the choice. I want Windows. A lot of us do. Microsoft actually does a lot of cool stuff, its too bad that there are straight up shills that see nothing more than a corporation with "commercial licenses" and because of that thinks these corporations shouldn't exist...

Sorry bud, works great here. Firefox 1.5.0.2.
There is no preview pane.
Sure is! Pretty pictures and all. Looks like Bush is probing gas prices.
There is no interactivity whatsoever.
I can drag/drop windows around, pop config menus, hit the +,- buttons, sure works great for me!
Suggest upgrading your Firefox. Or turning Javascript back on. One of the two.

That would also kinda make sense as to why they are sticking with 32 bit processors and 32 bit code in their new intel machines...
