Of the major network screw-ups I can remember where I work, all of them were caused by IT pushing out a rule or utility over the network that exploded on the pad. When this happens, nobody seems be held accountable.
There are a lot of really stupid IT policies out there that, in the name of security, in fact merely hinder getting work done. I am not talking about P2P. Giving a developer a workstation with a user account with no administrator privileges on Windows is among them.
If your transporting critical medical records via BitTorrent, then we've got much, much larger problems than Comcast. How else do you propose to get them to India?
I couldn't tell from the article, but which intellectual property is MS saying open source solutions are infringing on? Or am I misunderstanding the issue?
Anything that is less than desirable has been shamelessly ripped off from Windows Vista.
Geologists at Stanford University and the US Geological Survey by drilling a 2.5 mile deep borehole into the San Andreas fault, caused a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.
Truecrypt hidden volumes Officer: That's nice. Thanks for the boring crap. Now, lets have the REAL key! *SMACK!* Bzzzzzztttttt!!! Bzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Think of how many cases of cheap beer you could buy for $385. Beer has the added advantage of making you not care as much about the dismal circumstances you find yourself in.
I thought my HP Vista laptop already was in "Reduced Functionality Mode". Vista sucks balls. The only thing preventing me from Upgrading to XP (or anything else for that matter) is lack of video drivers.
Hmmmm. So if I rotate my Paradox or Excel table by 90 degrees, I have achieved database coolness? Who knew it was so easy. I tried that but my neck gets tired after a few minutes.
We all are the saps here in the US - including you. The Multi-national corporations make billions and don't pay anything in taxes. Well, that is if you don't consider campaign contributions "taxes". Thats how they do it.
Imagine you are on a roller coaster and you just heard the last "clickity clickity click". That is what the SCOX investor is feeling like right now. I am enjoying reading the SCOX message board on yahoo.
I have Vista home premium on a laptop I bought and I hate it. A lot of my apps don't run. Copying files takes a lot longer than my XP machines for some reason. It sucks.
* Drive the speed limit

The patent in question is 5072412, which was originally issued to Xerox in 1987 I thought that patents issued prior to 1995 expired before 17 years and after 1995 expire after 20 years? How can they hope to enforce an expired patent or is there a way to get around expiration now?
There is no right to bare arms. You are right, there is no right to bare arms. Even thought I wear short sleeves everyday it isn't a right. If we were talking about the right to bear arms, the second amendment states that I do have a right.
Something to consider is that AMD's customers aren't you and I. AMD's customers are OEM PC makers, large and small. That is wrong. They may sell to the OEMs but if they take your view that the OEM is THE customer, they are going to bite it hard. If AMD produces products that the OEMs love but the consumer hates, ultimately, the OEM will hate it too (Unless you are Microsoft).
I will think hard before I buy a bunch of DRMed crap. That means I won't buy anything Sony.

Well, if they paid in a currency other than potatoes, maybe skilled workers would be more interested.

...Onstar? They pretty much stall at will too.
shows a picture of a thug sitting handcuffed in the back of a police car and he says sarcastically "Thanks OnStar!"

If these 1300 rebates had turned up in a New Delhi dumpster, nobody would have ever heard about it.
That's some really good shit.

A real Microsoft joke punchline should go:

I wonder if they will pay me to download Yoko Ono tracks?

Now, if they could just get a handle on that "crappy products" problem, they would be doing really well.
