    That was my point. I think patronage was either not effected at all or went up in every city that implemented smoking bans.

  3. Re:Why on Judge Rules In Favor Of Spamhaus · · Score: 1

    Uh because spam house for reasons listed in the previous articles did not show up for the court case giving the judge no choice but to rule in favor of the complainant. (see the part where e360 said spamhouse does business in the us but they don't so they just gave the judge a nice piss off) Basically the judge wanted spam house to come to Illinois to prove they didn't do business there (lame) and once the decision was made, well cascade failure of the judicial system. I love it when /.'s make really dumb statements about what's lame based on simple stories that do not in detail explain the full reasoning behind the events in Question.

  8. ok GIVE ME A BREAK on Ubuntu Linux for Non-Geeks · · Score: 1

    Only a geek would be installing there own OS. Whether its windows or Linux or Mac OS. Only a geek would EVER want to even know what the terminal is let alone use it. Its like writing a book for non gear heads who don't want to be gear heads and then explaining how to use a torque wrench to properly tightening the bolts on the valve cover. Really what is more geeky then , "......the relationship between Ubuntu and Linux." Really OK go ahead tell me I am flamebaiting or trolling but I am not I am telling you that the only people that would care about anything in this book are geeks. Non Geeks by there nature as non geeks would have to become geeks to want to learn this thus making them geeks. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh CIRCULAR LOGIC. Non geeks are for sure not going to want to deal with the installing of proprietary blah blah blah. Damn I am a geek and I am like F this. I mean really. A 300 page book on how to use my computer would scare the hell out of me. Let alone non geeks that just want to plug the thing in and surf the inter-web read there email. They Don't want to know how are why it works. They just want to do it. I think Ubuntu can do this and I think this book is a bad idea if it is really targeted to non geeks. If you really want to appeal to non geeks you write a 10 page book with lots of nice color pictures. Really. Again just to be clear. I think Ubuntu is easier to use then Windows and I wonder who would really read this book?

    Umm stem cell issue is not a religious issue. It is "right to life issue" Yes many anti abortion people are religious but it seem that the steem cell issue is more an issue people thinking that this research is a result of an aborted fetus which they believe should not have been aborted. Not sure what that has to do with religion. I know a fair amount of people on both sides of this issue and religion is on both sides. Yeah most anti abortion people are neo con but many are libs. You are confusing the loudest group with the whole group. Since someone will get all pissy and call BS.

    No Copyright is how I keep big business from raping me blind. I the small photographer because of copyright can use licenses to insure that some big company does not come to me and tell me hey we want to use this picture to sell stuff at just one little trade show so we can only pay this much then going out and using my generosity and selling $100,000,000 with MY creativity. Copyright allows to be adjust my fees for different needs in a client. With out licensing it would cost about $25,000 to 6 figs for any creative photo shoot.
