Mmm... I don't like that idea. Too much Socialism in it for one, and two the crap needs to sink. There are several news organizations that have survived online. They have interesting articles and reap advertising revenue. I don't want another dollar added to my interwebs bill just because NY Times can't figure out how to run themselves.

I just don't like ideas where someone is forced to pay for something they don't want because we feel the need to keep a dying industry alive( bet you can think of a few ). Now... if the newspaper organizations worked with all ISPs and offered them a cut of the profit if they marketed the $1.00 fee for their news and junk and the ISPs gave people the choice ... I would be cool with that. We don't need to bail every dying business out. Honestly, I would probably pay like an extra 3 - 5 buckaroos per month via my interwebs bill if I got good news content for it. I'm willing to bet there are many folks like me, but there aren't many that would like to have a dollar added for another "bailout"... Just my $0.02

"Williams also hinted at tools pitched at enterprises designed to improve and speed up company-wide systems authentication. "When customers see and use the tools we are providing to support Windows Vista and Windows 7 deployments, we think they will be impressed," he said."

Riiiiight... tools. I see one tool and that's the asshat that thought this a grand idea. I have an MSDN subscription so I can have whatever I want from MSFT and I am so sick of DRM, Genuine Advantage, Activation and so on I might start punching babies soon.

This isn't a tool you f*ing jack*ss, it's a pain in the tush. A tool is something that will help you perform some desired action or reach some desired end. I'm fairly certain that no one in the world is just shaking with anticipation and excitement at the thought of using your "tools" to activate their copy of Windows 7...

Go ahead, put your tits online!! Why do moms that are nursing feel the need to show their junk in public? Now online... I don't really care about said issue, I just don't understand why otherwise normal women want to put their boobs on the web...

"By calling the extended stored procedure sp_replwritetovarbin, and supplying several uninitialized variables as parameters, it is possible to trigger a memory write to a controlled location. Depending on the underlying Windows version, it is / may be possible to use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable SQL server process. In a default configuration, the sp_replwritetovarbin stored procedure is accessible by anyone. The vulnerability can be exploited by an authenticated user with a direct database connection, or via SQL injection in a vulnerable web application." Not that I don't think it's still shady ... but... there really isn't a danger here unless you have a user that is already authenticated and can execute stored procedures or are vulnerable to a SQL injection. So you either pissed off the local nerd or you're a complete f*cktard and can't write a proper app... Either way you deserve what's comin!

NOOOO!!! I am out of Mod points!!! Well... +1 Insightfull from me good sir :0)

"Women are 3 times more likely to attempt suicide than men, HOWEVER Men are 4 times more likely to die in a suicide attempt. Is this just because men are better at killing themselves than women? Or perhaps there is a gender difference in the reasoning behind why people choose to attempt suicide. "

I actually read a few things about that and it is because men choose much more violent ways to commit said act. Women tend to go for the OD, or poison themselves, while men choose guns, falls, or wrapping their car around a tree...

I know a few people that are generally unstable and I tend to steer clear of them.( I know that sounds shady.. ) I used to think I could help, but that is best left up to the professionals. Everything I said to those individuals would be turned into another reason to off themselves, I don't get it.... I don't think an Internet forum is a place to get help... most of the people on those forums are suicidal themselves. That is like giving a blind man a blind dog to help him get around... or... blind leading the blind.

I would say that if anyone you know or you have such thoughts ... go see a shrink. Internet forums won't help. There are tons of organizations to help deal with those feelings.... and remember... hurting yourself to get back at someone won't work. If they don't give a sh1t about you when you're alive they won't when you're dead. Assholes are often heartless and don't care in general, even if you do succeed in making them sad that only lasts for what? a week... you're f*ing dead for good! Game over man! Do not pass go! That's it!

If you really want to get back at someone... find a creative way to F*K their life up... if they did you wrong( without physically assaulting them of course), buy a bag of weed and throw it in their locker, then alert the proper authorities and watch hilarity ensue(most dimebags will fit between the vents in the locker, then it's just an issue of timing). Think about it! Why in the hell would you harm yourself and those that love you cause some d-bag is acting up. Now I don't condone such things, but if you REALLY must act... don't act against yourself...

DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for your actions, nor am I saying I've ever done anything to anyone. Remember Karma... what goes around comes around. The people that are mean to you now will just end up being drunken, divorced, has-beens... Best recourse is to concentrate on moving yourself forward and let your accomplishments do the talking. AKA: Framing people = bad idea... along with anything else that could end up hurting physically or socially... bla bla bla... / rant
