duh! all you have to do is not buy windows when you buy the machines. All of the major manufacturers will sell you machines without windows on them.
then just buy the liscenses for the ghost images and be happy. This makes perfect sense to me. it's like going and buying a car with blue floor mats, then deciding you don't like them, so you go to the dealer to get green ones and they want to charge you for them again! the nerve!
It doens't matter if they owned them or not. according to federal law, it's illegal for flight attendants to strike or walk out, or sick out, or whatever out.(please correct me if i'm wrong)
the airline filed a suit stating that they did break federal law, obtained a search warrant, and searched the attendants belongings. Whether or not it's a computer or a file cabinet doesn't matter.
Last month, however, Northwest sued the flight attendants union and some of its members, alleging they had violated federal labor laws by orchestrating a sickout. Judge Frank agreed with Northwest and issued a temporary restraining order that prohibited the union from advocating any work disruptions.
Well they are flight attendants, so if they do something like this, it is breaking federal law. This is so people like us won't miss our flights, or die because we don't get our tasty airplane food:). If Joe Shmoe did this at his company that makes boxes(the cardboard kind) they probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
This is nothing new... The internet has been like this for years and years - why do they all of a sudden decide to raise an eyebrow at something that has been a threat since as along as i can remember.
this is like suddenly deciding that giving your account password out is bad and announcing it to everyone. well DUH. I guess what i want to know is why did they just recently decide to release this when the threat is nothing new.
I little way to defeat this is to use disguises and such. Have people wear sexually neutral clothing and just disguise your voice a little
I'm sorry, but i don't think anyone would dress up like a girl to get into somone's dorm. now girls pretending to be guys... that may be a little easier. (and less embarrassing)
i live here in tucson, don't go to the U of A, but have plenty of friends that do. Most of the people i have talked to don't really mind, since they don't use their connects for much more than chatting and the occasional download.
only the 'geeks' are the ones that are mad about it. Since there are so few of them(us) i don't think the U of A will listen much. oh well... I won't be going there anytime soon.
There is a great open source magazine that is supported by / contributed to by the ppl that visit it. You are looking at it.
Slashdot is the only online magazine i need... I can spend 5+ hours a day looking around this place. Maybe a new section where the readers could submit their own news coverage eh?
Ok, so you get home late from the office and when you pull into your driveway your porch light turns on and the vcr (or digital HD thigy that replaced it a few months ago) gets ready to play back the news of the day that you told it to from the office when you saw something of interest on slashdot. As you get out of your car it begins to recharge itself form the docking station built into your garage and downlaods the audio notes you were dictating on the way home to your computer where they are converted to nice document form and ready on your desktop to do whatever you want with them. then you go inside, watch the news while checking your e-mail with the remote. then you set up a client meeting and tell the oven to make your favorite dish all without getting up from the cozy couch. sound good? no? well to assloads of ppl out there it does and that means $$$ for all the companies that do it first. when it comes down to it, it's all about the benjamins.
This seems fine to me - ebay has a right to their information and if they don't want anyone using it that's their business. It's like going to McDonalds and them having a Taco Bell menu in the lobby - you would think that it would be good for taco bell but it depends on the pricing. I think if taco bell wants to make them remove the menu then McDonalds should have to comply. Yo quiero ebay!
right so really if a band had someone outside the band that was the legal owner of the website, but the band did business through it, would sony then have the authority to sue them? since the owner of the site never signed a contract with sony all should be good eh? or is it.
you know i REALLY doubt the govt would waste their time watching you 'rough up the suspect'. as paranoid as most ppl are about this I think that not quite so many ppl are pissed about this- wanna know why? because they don't do anything illegal! it's that easy! just don't rape little kids and i'd say you have a really good chance of not being watched by the govt'.
you wanna be able to learn more stuff? it's already here today...It's called READ A BOOK (or/. will do if you have forotten how in this 'technology age')
that's not what i'm saying at all. If they want to encourage open source they should forget about the liscense. they might as well say 'Whoever wants to play with out stuff for free can do it if they just give us some money.'

I have to agree here, I just landed a $40,000/ year job doing web deisign, and I dropped out of high school, and no college after that.
I love these 'Computer machines'!

Consumers are stupid. Linux has an air about it that makes the lay people stay away.
(lay people == the majority of console game players)
I think linux needs to be less intimidating to the lay person before more games really take off.

easy fix: don't be a flight attendant.

this says communicator 5 beta is slated for next month... so i guess that translates to next march. but anyway heres an interesting link i stole from ZDnet: http ://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2392924, 00.html?chkpt=zdhpnews01
Notice how he says 'Ipronounce linux as linux.' Maybe a subtle hint as to say 'Who cares how you say it, say it how you want.'

there's a company here (tucson) selling wireless t1's for around $130 a month for home users. http://www.gainwireless.com. talk about cheap.
I was under the impression that Mozilla was using the Gecko rendering engine, which is a new one seperate from Netscape. read about it...

this is them being cheap and having other ppl do the work for them then scooping up the results and selling it... get a clue ppl.
