most americans tend to think a scientific theory is a matter of opinion. if they read a scientific fact or theory they dont agree with, they tend to replace it with something they feel better about, like creationism.
real science is pretty ugly. its why reports on climate change, 9/11, genetically modified foods, and the origins of life tend to get censored alot.
how about the fact that its illegal to operate a scanner outside of your home in most states without an amateur radio license?
40mm smoke grenade launchers, or any for that matter are considered a firearm. discharching one in public will see you sent to jail.
is that 25-1300 antenna modified to exclude cellular bands? what about the receiver? if not, another trip to the jailhouse.
flash drive dropper? littering. in california, violation of prop 65 and EPA standards can apply. you just dropped a little chunk of lead onto the ground after all...
intentionally snooping the 900mhz communications spectrum? jailed.
plus, this cart has the intent to exploit computer systems and networks. thats a violation of federal law.
screw a month, this thing is a rolling prison sentence. i give this shit-whistle a week.
the pressing question is, how will microsoft "extinguish" a product with a so-called "viral" GPL license?
the TCO smear campaign arguably hasnt worked.
ballmer has done little to afford convincing reasons as to why linux is bad and MS is good, aside from his childish "communist-cancer" diatribe
I dont think the answer is co-opting. many developers will fork. im sure a few developers (x-screensaver, im looking at you) would never ever shake hands with MS.
we've tried to ban them in courtrooms and civic buildings as well as on public buses. I keep wondering why someone talking on a cell-phone bothers us so much?
is it because we cant see the person on the other end?
if two people next to me were talking about business on a flight, i would ignore it. why is a cellphone any different?
its hard to embrace something thats free, but microsoft has done it in the past.
its hard to extend something thats outpaced your brand for several years. there arent many new features to add, except perhaps interoperability with monolithic proprietary operating systems, which is of debatable benefit.
gpl 1,2, and controversially 3 take great steps to prevent extinguishing of any sort. most businesses consider them viral, hence why microsoft has invented their own open-source standard, only 1 level of which conforms to OSI (and likely will never be used. its a faith gesture toward the community.)
i think microsofts strategy lies entirely in deceiving users and community members into believing they genuinely are open-source. changing the definition of free and open source to their advantage is the only grounds for competition. the business model wont change much, if any. most microsoft management are too entrenched in a tangible software model
the following other items that will not, or currently have not been supported by Vista:
fair and secure computing
HD video and audio without 100% cpu usage
copying files without a cryptic workaround
negative market reception
fair pricing
interoperability with usb flash drives
ballmer and others desperately trying to pedal this company away from a yawning abyss of failure through obscenely subversive products that users secretly do not own, but rent for a limited and undisclosed amount of time.
vista will, however,still support:
visa, mastercard, discover, cash, and forced acceptance through automatic bundling with your new PC through a glorified scheme of backscratching and price-fixing.
hope you like clippy.

this is a senator who has served for over half a decade in office. is anyone in alaska still awake/alive? one might even question if alaska still exists at all?!

imho: worst. senator. ever.
Slashdot Mirror
didnt we just have a slashdot article yesterday that implicated most americans dont know anything about science?
"hand me the bible, and a copy of USA Today honey, im going to build my way out of this energy crisis."
if psystar started making macbook clones?
finally, i could be just as trendy as a coffee shop mac user, and have cash left over to buy coffee!

china fixes Xscreensaver Fireworkx. "that thing works now??" says Jamie Zawinski.
film at the olympics.
wheres vixie when you need him!
IBM essentially lost a class action over wages as well (it was slashdotted). the result? everyone took a 15% paycut after their substantial backpay.
considering you will be backtaxed as well for those unpaid wages, is it still worth it?
god damnit no it isnt.
RTFA.
concrete paving stones
green bricks
this shit has been around a long time. for greenland to start using it is nothing new
then nobody can complain....
or, if we just obfuscate it enough
'buying the win' becomes a more opaque phenomenon.
this has been around since 2002. westminster and japan had it first. its called a noxer block http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noxer_block

you're the reason we aren't keeping logs of this stuff.

look at it this way, depending on how the novell/ms deal plays out, you could end up an avid microsoft supporter in the distant future
