  4. Bull I will remind you folks what came before on Nobel Winner Says Internet Might Have Stopped Hitler · · Score: 1

    ten things i can think of that came before the internet.

    10 Teletype, Imaging if the german war machine had telettype instead of those enigma machines the orders to battel fronts would have been faster and more swift.

    9 Missles, rockets and other dumb bombs that were set using timers. think v-2 on steriods.

    8 Peace protest would have been more enabled in our land delaying us from doing what is nessary to win the war and stop hitler. look at what it is doing toward iraq reshaping the very way we fight war at the speed of thought.

    7 Nuclear power planets would have powered flood lights enabling our planes to be shot down by computer controled direct fire and radar.

    6 companies like IBM would have been top dog due to them helping hitler so IBM software would have been the domninate group.

    5 Health care for the Germany army would have been way better than it was then, enabling them to fight longer and harder.

    4 They would have dropped the nuclear bomb on us first before we did on japan there by saving japan.

    3 We would be up against Mexico too if the dominance lasted much longer and hitler would have been able to convince the Mexicans to fight us at the speed of light.

    2 the genocide woudl have been much more efficient on the german army's behalf.

    1 We woudl have to learn german and speak it to be understood by our puppet government.

    Novel bought them out and last time i had the pleasure of buying SuSe at a retail store clerks were actively trying to get me not to buy it. Novel as usual stopped trying to sell their products to brick and mortar stores and more than likely never will sell their products at brick and mortar stores. Novel seems to think it wasn't a top seller. i Admit it sat there for months years because people are afraid to change. That is truly why Linux is stuck in a niche market.

    ZDnet I guess spun them off too or is the new name going to be ZDCnetBS which will becoming to our websites shortly due to lack of foresight from any of the companies board of directors.

    Three things you can count on happening are.
    1 Low wages for the peons.
    2 disgruntle workers leaving due to a new non compete agreement.
    3 overly ad laden site promoting CBS views and crap shows.

  10. Daring ploy on MS part on TechNet Users Revolt Over Vista SP1 Unavailability · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Daring ploy on MS part now that the competition is getting to be just as good or better than MS.

    any brand of *nix doesn't give you MS nagware head aches and Blue screen of death that bring the system to halt.

    Nothing like DRM, bad drivers because MS updated something the driver relied on, Bad OS components that purposely disable features in others software make the competitions software dysfunctional (Like the open office on vista using the CONVERT function fails if you downloaded the version with java in it.), and not caring what the home user wants to use but laden them down with BS features they do not want to use.

    MS need to evaluate what a customer needs and wants and sell it that way!

    No more BS OSes XP is good. AERO sucks it crashes my video card driver just about every time. Back ground processes should not be given normal processing time. windows update should not dominate my network connection if i am on line.

    there are other nags i have about Vista but these are my top peeves.
    Good luck to anyone still making themselves an MS only house. because your building a house of cards and there is a big gust of wind coming to take them away and that is a bad economy.
    They can take their jobs overseas but i guarantee the same results over time will happen to them that has happened to the US auto industry.

    User accounts controls have no way to add program users use everyday.

    Windows defender doesn't care if yor using another virus guard it demands to be updated.

    Hardware in back water hick towns are mostly software controlled fake ware which Vista refuses to run.

    Vista seizes the computer you will not be allowed to do any work what so ever until it's back ground processes which are running in normal mode are done.

    MS can not even honestly compare Vista with Windows XP with all patches side by side and show Vista is more secure.

    Then there is aero the most useless program i ever had crash on me daily.

    then there is the fact Ctrl alt del keys sequence is now treated as a request not a fact to stop an irritant program.

    Oh and did you notice the Vista PR department stopped trying to dis Linux. Now they are trying to litigate FUD of owning various patents they refuse to show the public at large what they are. SCO tried this ploy too.

    Then there is the H-1B Visa workers that are indentured servants to MS unable to apply at Google or other tech companies. All because ms doesn't want to pay the salaries US workers demand after going into debt through overpriced colleges of America.

    Then there is the fact they will not play fair in the markets using exclusive contracts to lock out competitors. ( can you buy Linux on a store shelf now?)

    It is an overall thing it is not just one thing that makes people buy a product.

    then there is the fact MS is going to sell a version of vista that works on lesser PCs.
    So even the company that produced it has lost faith in the product.

    I was an investor in MS stock now i will make sure my investments have nothing to do with them! I lost ~ 500 USD due to MS not wanting to play fair in the international markets. I divested and will not recommend their stock to any one!

    Our scientist do not truly know the G forces or actual size to the decimal of any planets beyond mars, the theory of how much thrust would it take to break orbit was off a few degrees, This is also a possible account of what happened.
