>>DRM

>>Funny as Apple/Jobs pushed music labels to release their music DRM free

Apple only did this because they couldn't compete with MP3's / vorbis etc....

  They designed, and wanted to keep the walled garden but could not compete with openness.

No Sony:
  I can say that I only have one Sony product left in my house. I have not bought Sony in years because of DRM, rootkits etc...
When I am ready to update the camcorder I'll be free of Sony for good. I've been browsing for devices that support open codecs and will buy something soon.

No Microsoft:
  I run linux on home built PCs. My Mother, Mother In law and Wife also run linux and haven't been 'infested' ever since the switch (10 years now?) and maintenance is nil. To Me, Microsoft Windows is a rootkit for everyone else to log into your PC.

Oracle:
    They are on my blacklist but I would never have bought anything from them anyway.

I stepped into a Walmart once. Knowing that they hire part time in order to avoid health benefits for the citizens, I have not been there in many years.

I have no problems sticking to my guns. :)

I edited hello.c to display "Fuck Yeah!!!" and compiled it with tcc. It ran as expected. :)

Funny, two days ago I sent Google a suggestion regarding datasheets. If someone types in 74HC[anyhing] etc... We want the .pdf, not a link to bogusdatasheets.com. Hell, just make it easier to select filetype:pdf in a checkbox, on the search or results page.

....artists rendition of a inhabitable planet ever!

I couldn't agree more. I was going to post a similar response.

>>>> "eat shit out of the garbage"

I sure hope shit is figurative even if garbage isn't.

Give China your entire manufacturing base

My credit card ends in the digits 9090. I pronouce it "ninety ninety".
My wife says it is "nine oh nine oh", (...as in the Mork greeting) and gives the hand guesture.

Maybe this tells us more about what the air is doing than what the sand is doing. Chaotic particles spiraling down end up it in each others draft and stay there. (think nascar drafting)
