DONT marry - if/when you divorce your spouse (generally female one) might take half of all your earnings in future if s/he decides s/he doesnt want to work.
DONT make kids - you will get into a phletora of legal liabilities, lots of stupid or wise government officials will mess with you, and you wont be able to slap your kid if s/he climbs over your shoulder and decides s/he wants to shit on your head even if you tell her/him this is something wrong a million times.
Again, this was in 1998. This was the time when internet was almost comprised of people who MADE choices about what they were gonna use.
If netscape sucked and ie was good, they used ie. allright. and later when ie sucked and ff was good, they switched to ff.
but the important thing is this "later" word. those who probably took ie from 10% to 50% have, with additions, been only able to comprise 10% of the ff market share today. rest 80% is ie, and those are people who dont know that they are actually using a browser, and thinks it as an os feature.
as a result, 98 is of slightest importance. what matters is, how the ignorant masses were pushed to use something.
"fastest market share growth" means absolutely nothing to me.
Your market share might be growing from 0.1% to 1% very rapidly, this is also a fast growth. from zero to something is always a fast growth come to think of it. and if you notice, the years 97-98 are the years when internet was still niche, people using it was not in numbers comparable to today, and noone would get surprised if most hardcore netscape users gave internet explorer a try then.
its not the start, but what is after that matters.
Laws are not abided because they are just laws. They HAVE to be civil, developed and applicable enough for the contemporary times they are being used in. Else, they would have no meaning.
Let me brief this idea with an example ; in 1789, law was that there were the highborne, the nobles, and they were above the "common" people and held powers over them to the degree of life and death decisions. This was the "law" by then, and law stated that it was god given right of the nobles to be in that position, and not only so, but a tradition and foundation of the "society".
If people were idiots to abide by this law then at that time, NONE of what we see around now would came to being, and we would maybe still be "subjects" to a local lord.
So please, noone never do come up and say "its law" - its not the law, it is BIG MONEY's law that they have PAID the congressmen, senators and administration to get instituted to better and further their own profit over and despite the whole society, those copyright/IP laws and practices.
arresting someone on circumstantial evidence ? = total incompetence.
Lets get a number of circumstantial situations that one can be arrested :
you fight with your wife, you yell "goddamit, woman", and she is struck by a lightning on the way back from the grocery - circumstantial ! you have cursed, a curse has struck !
you write a novel that involves one of the characters in a situation with s/he having a meteor hit himself/herself. 2 years later, someone in your area is hit by a meteorite, and s/he has the same hair color with your novel character - voila, circumstantial.
you go to wc in your house and your neighbor's wc gets clogged at the same time - you pay punitive damages
maybe almost 70% of the internet users do not know what a "browser" is, and there are other browsers out there.
This is because microsoft easily pushes its own browser as a "os feature".
majority of casual computer users by then were, now the majority of the casual internet users, those who are not interested in doing something else than using mail, going to a few sites, chatting with some friends and playing some backgammon around the net, are not in a level, proficiency, or desirous to research and explore the intricacies of what they are using.
They are just buying a computer, windows comes installed within, there are stuff there, and they use it.
THIS was the way microsoft have villainishly monopolized the browser arena, and nothing more. Not security, not features, not the "mis-schedule" of netscape releases and nothing more. And certainly, definitely not the "far-sight" or "visionary genius" of bill gates and his memos.
They used the power of market reach, to "sell" something to people who didnt know if any alternatives existed.
If we add ergonomical chairs to it too, it will mean a stress free gaming.
Total pWnAge for the powergamers !
Little curious as to how they will manage tons of macros, inventory, skills and shit but im sure theyll proabably be the first group in the society to be the officially confirmed telepaths/telekinesists.
Google has outgrown any organization like RIAA or MPAA.
Its on the leading edge of internet progress.
Internet, is, 'people'.
Noone can fight against people. Google owning youtube will be a catalyst factor in getting the dinasours realize that we are living in a new world, and pushing the whole WORLD's people for anything outdated is folly at best.
This will remove one of the 2-3 factors hampering the 'new age' if you will.
May it be because they are the government's pawn, and government is now run by cartel-loving people, and they want to push digital rights, patents, restrictions on the internet, more secretive, closed code so that they can better 'protect' their supporting cartels' digital 'rights' ?
Don't generalize; you may not have had the intelligence or upbringing to enjoy this, does not mean that others have to fail in the same way.
Dont generalize yourself. for it often leads to error. even if you do, dont make ready-made assumptions about particular people.
i myself was the 499th in 1.4 million people eligible to enter university in a nation wide exam. The university i have enrolled in as an earned right, sends teachers to M.I.T., and is well known and accepted thoroughout europe. Many graduates of my department work in mega corporations like procter & gamble as high level directors.
This was where i drew the conclusions from. i know it first hand.

Then there is always the chance that some woman you totally have no idea about might come up and say she has a child from you.
DONT marry - if/when you divorce your spouse (generally female one) might take half of all your earnings in future if s/he decides s/he doesnt want to work.
DONT make kids - you will get into a phletora of legal liabilities, lots of stupid or wise government officials will mess with you, and you wont be able to slap your kid if s/he climbs over your shoulder and decides s/he wants to shit on your head even if you tell her/him this is something wrong a million times.
Nobody have warned me as such ? When did that happen ?
1 - your example bears no correlation to the case at hand, there is no grave, no shovel in the actual case.
2 - the 'evidence' in the example you gave can be linked to another member of the family as well as the neighbor.

they who watch msnbc are in majority people who drink beer and do nothing, whereas internet is filled with active people.
Im sure that and likewise groups are ALREADY tampering with your kernel somewhere ...
Yea, youtube can not make business that much. And its maybe never intended to make such business.
You tube is a political outlet, is a broadcasting medium baby. Google has one, microsoft doesnt.

already ...
I hate when people do that.

microsoft introduces 2-3 holes while fixing one .. if they patch up with that speed from now on, it means ... uh oh ...
Isnt there a tax that can be levied on idiot bureucrats ?
Yea totally agree ! Have at them !
If we add ergonomical chairs to it too, it will mean a stress free gaming.

outgrown "in power and influence" as one can understand from the context.
Google has outgrown any organization like RIAA or MPAA.
Its on the leading edge of internet progress.

I mean, what it takes to figure that any amount of sewer gas would be amount to take you to suspended animation ?
Even one single piece of fart does that.
Judges are bound to rule by law.
They cant do that unless they are in sufficient level to understand what is going on.
Apparently, this judge is not.
If you allow more stuff to be run client-side, you allow for more mischief.
cases their IQ/Knowledge might not be able to handle.
this is a case to prove this point.
May it be because they are the government's pawn, and government is now run by cartel-loving people, and they want to push digital rights, patents, restrictions on the internet, more secretive, closed code so that they can better 'protect' their supporting cartels' digital 'rights' ?
There are just personas and groups that still cant grab the way things going and fight against it.
