Do you deny the freaking OBVIOUS that the power-shortages are caused by public
policy which was foisted upon the people of California at the behest of
environmentalists who hold Marxist sentiments?

I was merely qualifying Mr. Everett as someone interested in a legitimate
conversation, as opposed to some lame-ass trying to motivate me to go to
great pains to write explanations which will be completely ignored, other
than some 3-second response of "why?"
I don't play the string-puppet game.
Mr. Everett, unlike you, has demonstrated that he is sincerely interested
in an intelligent conversation...and thus we can now proceed to have one.

Agreed. The real cost here is privacy, not money. But this is the cost

In your case, you are wrong. Had you properly remembered what you claim to have
done, your questionable relation might have had merit. That is of course, had
it happened as you say it did in the first place.

Yep, on this Win98SE/Slack7 box, under the former I have a good variety of
CLI stuff (Emacs, Bash, Elvis, ...), and use it whenever I need to get work
done. Much faster than the ever slowing Explorer, and entirely more capable.
And FWIW, when I play a CD on my PC now, I use the buttons on the drive.
Beats everything else!

"When asked what he thought of IBM's
huge investment in Linux, Ballmer said,
"It will have an impact, but Linux is a toy.
By IBM (stock: IBM) supporting Linux
well then it is not a toy. But does that
mean IBM and Linux will carry the day?
No way.-- "
It is a toy, it is not a toy? Either it's a misquote or Balmer is losing
it. He can't keep his facts straight from sentence to sentence.
"Ballmer conceded that the .Net road map
is "going to take a few years to achieve.""
Just as I suspected, even Microsoft doesn't know what .Net is.

Drestin has been posting on comna. He doesn't seem like the kind that
needs to change pseudonyms often. The Drestin Black identity represents a
sizable amount of effort to create and sustain. And you can buy a CD full
of pictures of his pretty wife posing nude.

It's not a bug. It's a floor wax.
