That you're either A. lying or B. aaron kulkis isnt your real name. If
you had been decorated, it would have been a matter of public record (as
all military decorations are). Somehow though, not one person named
aaron kulkis was decorated for *anything* during the year preceeding
desert shield, desert shield itself, desert storm, and the year immediately
following.
So which is it aaron? Which one is a lie?

See my other post. Aaron Kulkis recieved exactly zero commendations
in any branch of the US military. He is a raging liar.

I have to admit,I'm not really sure, and I agree with your point.
Perhaps its the copies of MS software that people bring home from work
(so that they can finish their work at home) ?
Naturally MS with its proprietary formats, force this to happen,as the
poor employee, probably can't use anything else.
> How
> can you pirate something when you already *have* a legal copy installed?
MS sell 'single license' software, but most people think they 'own' the
software they paid for with the pre-installed pc.
Imagine the hide of these people, thinking *they* own something they
paid for! ;-)

Hahahah, whether or not thats true doesn't stop MS prosecuting these

country (Australia).

I hate that term too, it seems that the difference between 'law abiding'

I think MS are 'moral free' and have been since its inception.

Exactly so, in the minds of many purchasers of 'pre installed' pc's.

I can't remember the name, but LDA #xx (load accumulator with the literal
xx) should be faster than LDA xx (where xx is a location in zero page)
since the first has to fetch the instruction and the literal. The next
must fetch the instruction, the literal address and the contents of the
address.
The slowest one like this is LDA xxxx because it has to fetch 2 literal
address bytes.

Q: Where would Microsoft take you today? A: Confutatis maledictis,
flammis acribus addictis... Micro$oft has a TV ad for their Internet
Exploder which uses "Confutatis Maledictis" from Mozart's Requiem. As the
announcer asks "Where do you want to go today?", the choir sings:
"Confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis" which is Latin for "The
damned and accursed are convicted to the flames of hell."
