Luckily, Symantec can claim the millions/billions who use their live update as dependents, so this will really only end up being like a $20 tax bill when they are done filing. Thank GOD for TurboTax.
I have been using Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite laptop for about 6 months. Ease of installation and updating packages is what makes it great. The problem I have is that it takes longer to load programs than Windows ME! No drivers for my linksys card so I have to use ndiswrapper with NET8180 drivers to get my wireless connection to work. It takes longer than Windows 98 to boot... All of this combined is forcing me to go with either a different distro or put Windows back on the machine. I will probably opt for Windows because my wife wants to use the lappy for work and Linux is not user friendly enough for her. Not to mention she can't use most of the programs she needs for the projects she is working on (MS Project, MS Visio, etc...)
And our school system and the poor parenting that continuously takes place in this country is leading to our children being even more complacent. I am infuriated by this but no more so than I am by surveys that show that 23% of all americans believe that the first amendment goes TOO FAR in the rights it guarantees! This will not end until we begin valuing our liberties and fighting for them with our dollars and our votes.
See, I thought the article was gonna be about that freakin School House Rocks Song... http:///http://www.school-house-rock.com/elec.wav> Electricity Electricity, Electricity Electricity... I often blame having to listen to that damn song EVERY SATURDAY during my youth for my mental instability...
When you do business internationally, you have to abide by the rules of the country in which you are doing business. Shipping companies that ship to China have to obey different regulations for those shipments than they do if the ship to France, which is different than the requirements to ship to Korea or Britain. Same goes for companies that make hardware or software. Same goes for GOOGLE. Google did no "EVIL" by obeying the laws of the country in which they are doing business. The only other option would be to not do business with China. Last I checked making money for your stockholders was not "doing evil". Like Punboy said, Google's presence in China is a good thing. Maybe there are restrictions on the searches, but at least they (Google) are there. In order to make positive changes you MUST have a presence. By not doing business with China, you effectively shut yourself out of a stream of revenue and completely obliterate your chances of making any change.

Building upon its award-winning Explorer® 8300(TM) digital video recorder (DVR) platform, Scientific-Atlanta today announced its new MCP-100(TM) Media Center DVR with a built-in DVD burner. This market-leading product will combine all of the great features of the current Explorer 8300 platform, including multi-tuner DVR, optional high definition DVR, DOCSIS (DSG) and Multi-Room(TM) DVR capability, with a new built-in DVD player and burner.
The new MCP-100 Media Center will add DVD burning functionality for standard and high definition content that will give consumers the ability to simply and securely record their favorite shows and movies onto writeable DVDs. The MCP-100 Media Center will support the majority of writeable DVD formats and will also play off-the-shelf DVDs and CDs. In addition, the product is being designed to respect key content protection flags including 'copy freely', 'copy once', and 'copy never' tags.
Read and learn boys and girls. Scientific Atlanta has this product which should be available to Cable Customers early next year. I saw a demo of it at a Cable Show here in KC about 2 months ago...

I for one welcome our belated bloatware overlords.
