That's not the point. He wants to know why Microsoft's contracts are
not voluntary, but contracts by those who work for predatory employers
under your desired political system are not.
Basically, you take the inconsistent position that an employer strongarming
employees is involved in a "voluntary exchange" but Microsoft isn't.

You've completely missed the point.

Largely because you are losing it.

I'm sure Rex would be willing and able to submit an argument that Microsoft's
business dealings fail the "voluntary test", but Rex will probably not try
to simoultaneously defend a political system where the type of coercion
you are complaining about becomes commonplace.

This is my second PC that I can't get Linux to work on. This time cos
I've got a UDMA66 controller. This doesn't trouble Mickeysoft. Win98
is working fine, but I work with Unix so I need Unix at home.
Linux is frustrating the shit out of me.

I wouldn't say it's easier to use. I agree it needs less learning but

Or, even simpler,
1G!Gperl -e 'while(<>){print"$. $_"}'
Or, even simpler,
1G!Gawk '{print NR,$0}'
Or, even more simpler, although with a little different formatting,
1G!Gcat -n

Or add something like
:map <F8> 1G!Gawk '{print NR,$0}'
in your .vimrc (sorry--I use vim, so I don't know about the portability
issues) and then press F8 whenever you want your lines numbered.

IIRC, Wordpad doesn't even support VBA well.
Now, if the user should frequently have number her documents' lines,
her administrator might configure her vim in the way described above.
What should do the MCSE supporting a person using WordPad to number
lines? And which user is better off?

Read _The_Bell_Curve_ and get back to me.
Yes, students tend to have a low income...because students
are STUDENTS, not full-time employees working in the field of
their chosen specialty.
You claim that your current income is $7,500/year. If you chose
to drop out of your PhD program today, what do you think your
income would be?
My bet is somewhere around $80,000 provided you aren't majoring
in Psychology (would you like fries with that?), History, or
Medicine.

Then please explain for everyone here any substantial
disagreements you hold with Communist philosophy.
It's been almost a MONTH since I first asked you this
question. In that time, despite the fact that I have
asked this question several times, you have offered not
a single point of disagreement with the communists.
Every rational person will agree that you advocate a Communist
government, especially since you espouse the 2 fundamental
tenets of Communism: the punitive accelerated income tax
(misnamed the "Progressive" income tax), and the socialist
"from each according to his abilities, to each according
to his needs" mentality.
Once again, I ask you to suggest in ANY way where you defer
from the those who openly admit that they advocate Communism.
As far as I can tell, the only difference is...you're too
much of a fucking coward to stand up and state exactly what
it is you believe in.

I: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
you are lazy, stupid people"
J: Loren's Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole
A: The wise man is mocked by fools.
B: "Jeem" Dutton is a fool of the pathological liar sort.
C: Jet plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a method of
sidetracking discussions which are headed in a direction
that she doesn't like.
D: Jet claims to have killfiled me.
E: Jet now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
...despite (D) above.
F: Neither Jeem nor Jet are worthy of the time to compose a
response until their behavior improves.
G: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.
H: Knackos...you're a retard.

Linux != Unix, and Linux is not the only unixlike OS.

Then don't use Linux but try *BSD, Solaris, SCO or whatever instead.
Or you could do some research before starting to complain (there are
patches for certain Ultra66 controllers), or you could hook the disk up
to a Ultra33 controller (haven't seen any test from which to conclude
that Ultra66 is indeed faster than 33).
