I've been printing on demand since I owned my first printer. When I demand something printed, I hit the print icon (or the command print file.txt for the DOS fans).
I was a contractor for IBM for a few years, doing business consulting. As a contractor on the client's premisis, we were held to very high standards. I know somebody who was removed from the contract for parking in a forbidden area. I also know employes of the client who were fired for mis-use of the intranet for communicating such things as items for sale, opinions not valid to the department, etc.
Myspace isn't that bad. Think of the good:
1. Anything that keeps kids off the streets causing trouble is good. I'd rather have kids posting surveys nonstop, leaving comments, putting more crap on their profile etc than breaking into my car or selling drugs.
2. People are forced to learn some HTML. For example, my 21 year old girlfriend of two years knew little about computers in general when we first started dating. Using Myspace as a motivation, she has learned a bit of HTML and now has started playing around with CSS code to do different things. She had no idea what google is, and now uses google to look up animated images or instructions on how to code certian things. She has even went as far as googling for an animaged gif program, downloading it, learning it, and using it to make some of her own images animated. Very neat stuff.
3. It's not full of perverts, molesters, and emo/goth people. I signed up and quickly got in touch with some people I graduated with I have no talked to since graduation. It was really neat to see who had kids, who turned out to be gay, who gained weight, which girls look awesome and were not very good looking, etc.
4. Music. If you like music, then Myspace turnes out to be pretty cool. Each band has their profile with the tour dates, a few songs, videos, some keep up blogs which are interesting to read up on, etc.
All and all, it's not too bad of a site.
Perhaps the French are just pissed off that with Google one can type "French Military Victories" and hit I'm feeling lucky to see a fake google error message saying no web pages found. Better yet, perhaps socialist countries do not believe in page rankings. It's not fair to the lower ranked pages to be at the bottom, every page should have the same rank.
I can understand and appreciate the reason "just because" because I had a blast modding my Xbox. But besides that, what would be the practical reason for XP on a Mac? It's not like the PC hardware is too expensive or anything. I've played with OSX a little, and from what I can tell it's 90% of the "Owning a Mac" experience. I considered an Apple machine before deciding just to upgrade my current PC just because I loved what I saw of OSX.
I'd much rather see Apple port OSX to the PC, if that happened software makers would do more things for the OS, and then M$ would finally have some strong competition. (Yea, don't flame, but Linux is not going to compete against M$ for the home market anytime soon). Apple would make a killing, but would risk being known as M$ v. 2.0 since Apple's advantage is they own the hardware and can write the OS around one type of hardware.
The Pentium name has been around for too long, it sounds old and used. However most common users may not even know Pentium, as long as they see the "Intel Inside" logo they think they are getting the best machine.

When the cake was opened, the Firefox team found it was not quiet finished and full of bugs.
Personally, I thought some of Matt Damon's best acting was on Team America.
