Actually, what he recalls was partially true. The courier line supported HST mode, which was able to do 19.2K+ when the sportster (and everyone else) was still doing 2400. The later sportsters were able to support V.32 (9600 baud), but still weren't able to do HST mode, which for the majority of people meant only being able to run at 2400 still, as most BBS's were doing HST only.
Your mistake is you assume the customer's purchase price and the companies cost must be the same thing. What is to keep ASUS from claiming that your purchase price for windows is $0.
So... If I buy a copy of the Superduper World of Warcraft expansion pack, that comes with a teeshirt, and a figurine, and 2 mana drink potions, and log into wow, and I disagree with the terms of service, I can return the game portion of the superduper expansion pack and get a refund for the full price of the game? No, of course not.

No, you didn't say it was unique to a Mac, however, you did say "In Windows, each window is basically a running process.", which isn't correct. It's not even close, almost all applications run multiple windows in a single process on windows.
The first versions of Windows could only task switch DOS apps, but could multitask windows applications via cooperative multitasking.
Windows NT was the first pre-emptive multitasking Windows OS.
Most people consider pre-emptive multitasking to be "true" multitasking. I believe you are thinking of cooperative multitasking where each application calls a special function often, and only while inside that function may the OS switch to another task.
Qemm was a memory manager, you are most likely thinking of DesqView or one of it's later incarnations.
Actually it is common in the real world that "crafted" items are less expensive than their raw parts. For example, go to a car dealer and order every part needed to make a car. It'll cost you 500% more for the parts than a fully assembled car itself. Or take the US penny, that is worth more in copper than it's face value. Even some raw diamonds can be worth more than if they are cut into a type that isn't popular.
OTOH, if Apple doesn't start letting other companies than ATT into the game so that rural areas can have the phone, there will always be an opening for other phones.
I don't think apple is all that concerned the rural areas, to be honest. There just isn't the justification to let go of a lock like they have between AT&T and Apple for the measly few % of people you are referring to.

First, let me say I don't agree with this approach. You shouldn't be letting contaminated data into the database in the first place. That is your problem. Not encoding it on the way out is only a problem if you allowed the data to get into the database with embedded html in it. There are protection mechanisms in place that help prevent xss type code getting submitted, but I'm guessing you disabled it. The boundfield control also allows encoding HTML. It's been a while since I've used a form control, but I would typically use the literal control instead of a label. It's a lighter weight control, and as you see, it's more appropriate for outputting data in the manner you expect. Something like:
Except here I've used the passthrough mode, encoded the string myself, so that I can convert CR's to an html BR.
I've read your other posts, and what I see is the typical programmer who claims to know better, then turns around and complains when his code doesn't work well. Turning off security features, then complaining how insecure his app is, is your fault. It's the equivalent at saying how insecure a bank is, and blaming the vault manufacturer, cause the manager who knew better left the front door and the vault door open over night. Oh, and how insecure perl must be cause, slashdot didn't properly html encode my post by default.
If you want to continue eating dog poop, that's fine. But if you put a label on it calling it caviar souffle and try to pass it on to others, don't whine when I point out that it isn't a souffle because souffles are made from egg whites.
The United States did not go to war in Vietnam. Only congress can declare war, and it had not. The president can make police actions without congresses approval, but it limits the amount of power he has. Therefore, the United States involvement in Vietnam was that of a police action, and you may call it an insult, but it is the truth. The difference is clear, and while you may think it diminishes the sacrifices the men and women in the military made, that is your own fault not understanding the difference.
The white house was burned in 1814. Last I checked the revolutionary was for the US independence was back in 1776. It was officially recognized 1783.
There is only one body in the United States that may declare war, and that's the congress. Congress made no declaration of war for Vietnam, which means it was a police action (for the US). There is a difference between a police action and a war. Congress declares war. The president can do police actions without congresses approval, but it limits his rights what he can do.
Perhaps I should also include that you should not comment on your own countries laws if you don't know them very well. Apparently the whole world knows about Germany's anti-nazi laws, but you don't. Also, you do realize that constitution of a country is it's highest law, correct? If there is no such law perhaps you should tell that to your judges, because they sure think it is.
Your interpretation of anti Nazi laws I have made no interpretation of Germany's anti nazi laws, so you can stop right there. I said they look silly to those of us not under the influence of your countries laws. I have read and followed a fair number of cases involving those laws, including cases from google, ebay, and electronic arts. The outcome in each case, as someone who believes in freedom of speech and expression find quite silly, but it is your country, your laws, you do as you please over there.
In addition, you can not claim you are innocent from libel by declaring you believed something is true. So the original posters comment as he made it is simply false. That's not how it works. There is a defense based on that, but only if you have proof that you were told that by a reputable source that the average person would reasonable expect to be an expert, authority, or to have checked beyond a reasonable doubt. In that case, then the libel suit would have to be filed against the originator of the libel, not a repeater of such.
On the other hand, the anti-nazi laws are pretty simple in cases like this. Just google (if they aren't censored as well) over all the cases involving german anti-nazi laws involving not only their own citizens, but citizens and corporations of other countries. It's really not that difficult.
Now please take your pompous eurotrash anti-American sentiments back to your own (censored) country.
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I am of German descent. A large portion of my family still resides in Germany, and I have spent significant time there, starting from childhood, albeit I haven't been there in many years. Some of Germany's civil laws are pretty silly, or at least were. Being able to drink pretty much as soon as you can ask for it, but it's illegal to play pinball or video games in public at least until you turn 18. You can't have minors in movie theaters in the evening, even if accompanied by their parents, watching PG movies?
Odd, but I don't necessarily disagree, I also saw a large 4-5 story building with a mural of a naked/bare chested lady. Naked/bare chested women on public tv during the evening. I remember watching (sorry, my german is pretty poor, so my cousin was translating some), about some plot to make bras that secretly blow up like balloons. A rather silly plot line, but plenty of gratuitous nudity during prime time. Personally, I find that fine as well, but I find it odd that as open minded as that is, the great lengths the country has gone to hide it's own history.
Just some of the absurdities I encountered while there.
I would agree that some of the people posting not only have a mental age of about 13, but are likely chronologically 12-15 as well. That doesn't change the fact that the anti-nazi laws in Germany look pretty silly for those of us that don't actually live there. You shouldn't comment on other countries laws if you don't know them very well. Your interpretation (or at least your statement) of the libel, slander, and tort laws within the US makes for a nice sound bite, but it's not nearly that simple. Simply believing a statement to be true, or the proclamation of such isn't a valid defense. Just an FYI - the US libel laws are based on the original British defamatory laws, and are very similar at their core.
You should really brush up on your history a little bit, because the US was invaded. The white house burned down to the ground. We don't ban flags, symbols, or discussions about the subject. We don't ban the confederate flag, or other civil war era material. Vietnam wasn't a war, it was a police action -- big difference. Burying your head in the sand and pretending something didn't happen or doesn't exist doesn't make you better, it just raises a new generation of ignorant citizens.
Here is an unbiased report on firefox being "rock stable":
Firefox has stopped working 169 time(s), last occurring on 9/11/2009 3:05 AM.
That's 169 crashes. I don't call that stable, let alone rock stable. That is however, my own personal experience using firefox on my own hardware. Your experience may vary, but for me firefox isn't stable at all. Today I had issues with hulu's queue in firefox, and I cut and pasted the url into chrome, and the problems all went away. I don't consider hulu that unpopular, so I don't know what the issue is, and I don't really care other than again, firefox fails to "just work".
I've been in software for close to 25 years, and I was making more than that my first day out of college, and it was worth a lot more in 1991. I would hardly consider that a BIG salary for a seasoned professional, and I don't live in a coastal state, unless you consider lake michigan part of a coast. Sorry, but if you are only making that with 10 years of experience and an MBA, you either picked the wrong field, or well, you need to change jobs.
Firefox 3.5.2 had issues with facebook, monster, and dice. It ran those site so slowly it might have well been a crash. Literally minutes to respond to clicks.
Another site I use caused firefox to crash everytime. Not only taking down the tab, but the entire process and it has no java or flash. Firefox 3.5.3 fixed the last issue completely, and I haven't checked the others, but it was crashing multiple times per day, and I couldn't use it on quite a few sites.
I don't consider that "rock stable", unless that rock is teetering on a smaller rock at the top of a hill.
Yes, you are a conspiracy theorist. Your inability to see that you actually do fall into that category shows that you have little understanding of the scientific process or true science. The rest of what you go on about is irrelevant to the discussion.
Please, if you want to teach your kids about Christianity, please feel free to do so. There are special places where they devote themselves to the teaching of Christianity, around here we call them "Church". Personally, I don't want school to be extended or time taken away from other subjects so that religion can be taught. Of course, every religion would have to be taught in order to provide equal treatment -- all 15,000 of them with more being added every day. Christianity is NOT based on science, or scientific principles, and therefore should not be taught during science regardless if you believe in separation of church and state or not. Anything else you've said doesn't stray from those simple facts. I understand you believe in your faith, and you believe so strongly that you assume what you are saying is all true. But things based on assumptions don't make things a fact, no matter how much you believe in them. If you can't prove it, then it isn't fact. Please, you may be passionate about the subject, but that doesn't make you right.
