If... you don't mind being seen as a peon. I'd only agree to it if other departments had to wear some sort of uniform outfit also. Perhaps management could wear something with an embroidered bib since, evidently, they are drooling idiots. Tell em to fuck off.

That would be an asinine exercise. What would people do at this CD party? Bring CDs they own so they can destroy them? Purchase CDs so they can destroy them? It's ridiculous. Now, if they hijacked a trailer full of CDs, then destroyed those, I'd be impressed.

Well, all the Apple vs. Linux vs Windows pissing aside...

Star Wars Galaxies originally had a multitude of classes with 32 different subsets in each class. People could pick and choose according to their play style, and tailor the character to their individual needs. It was fantastic. Up untill they decided to pigeon hole players into archetype classes that resembled the main star wars characters, then the smart player base dried up. That's the whole crux of the matter right there... the smart players vs the dumb players. Unfortunately there are more dumb players than smart players, and every single game will always devolve to suit the dumb players.

I'm sure they checked out her laptop, and an officer discovered that she belonged to a rival guild in WoW.

I'm going to be be watching this with a big tub of popcorn, and a keg of beer beside me. It promises a huge amount of entertainment.

What gets me, and what will make this so amusing is that anybody that contributes any amount of code to a project can in essence hijack the whole copyright violation award leaving the other copyright holders with nothing. An entity later sued by another holder on that project can just point to the previous lawsuit and claim they already paid the damages for violation. The courts will just see it as a copyright violation settled, and stamp the whole shebang 'done'.

It's known as the Golden Rule... He who has the gold makes the rules.

From the article...
"Office 2003 users receive the error, "Unexpected error occurred. Please try again later or contact your system administrator,""

WTF? Is there anyone out there that can point me to an expected error? Can these wannabe programmer motherfuckers ever pass on real information on an error to the end user? Their error messages might as well say, "Our program fucked up, we're dipshits, we don't know what the fuck is going on. In fact, we couldn't have put together a crappier piece of software if we were drunk, or high."

Maybe they are just taking the card up the basement stairs.

Why don't we install camera's in Schmidt's house. After all, if he has nothing to hide, he doesn't have any privacy concerns. Perhaps we can stream his phone calls over the internet for all to listen to?

Bite me Schmidt, die in a fire, and go to hell.

It all depends if the reader thinks of 'free' as in free beer, or free speech. But, that can be dependent on what the reader personally wants. Usually people want free beer, they couldn't give less of a shit about free speech. But, the same people that want everything to be free as in beer probably are downloading Britney Spears, Milty Cyrus, or Jonas Brothers music so what they think really doesn't matter. They will usually oppose the BSD/MIT license because it is not as viral as the GPL.

I'm a computer guy, but I don't work on cars just because they have fucking computer engine control. I call a goddamn mechanic.

Printers are office equipment, and can be replaced cheaper than they can be fixed.

When you mature, you will find that you need a passion for life. Programming is a job, a job is not life.

Sounds more to me like a particular judge needs to pull his head out of his ass.

They could make it sting harder than that. Just stop offering sound samples for all ASCAP music.

Yes, but it looks like they used a different encapsulation protocol which would make it non-RFC compliant.
