True, there are bad CEOs out there, but there are just as many bad drones out there. It reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer tries to show the teamsters that he's even lazier than they.

I think a major reason why "drones" make so much less than the "puppet masters" is that the drones are expendable, and can probably be replaced by robots, whereas the puppet masters aren't. Anybody can work a register at McDonald's, but how many people could orchestrate the business competently?

We also must not forget that if it wasn't for the rich people, the poor people who work in the empires of the wealthy would not have the jobs they have, and would be in a worse situation than they presently are. Although there are cases of rich people being rich simply by luck, many of those rich people have become rich by working their asses off . I don't think it's greedy for them to want what they earned with their own sweat and tears to remain theirs. How many of you would happily

I might not have to upgrade, but then again, nobody has to buy a Mac, yet people still complain about its price. Maybe I'm exagerating though. How often does an update to OS X come out? Hopefully not too frequently, because I want to stay up to date, but my wallet needs a break every so often. Personally, I prefer MS's way of doing it, which is release really big updates about every two years with free service packs in between.

Well, I was worried that I would have to purchase an upgrade to 10.4 when it's available, and I see that my worries were just. Where as it looks like it's cheaper than upgrading to the new Windows OS, it's clearly not when you factor in the frequent upgrades as opposed to Windows which only needs one about every two years.

Even GNU software has a license that must be followed. Otherwise, the GPL would be worthless. By the way, why is it that he calls all software, whether or not it's made by him, his software?

I really don't consider somebody to be the author of a program that is a cheap imitation of a commercial product, which is what the software by RMS usually is. True, discontinued open source software, IN THEORY, can be revived by other people, in the real world, that doesn't happen too often, even with great software. It's also true that commercial software has as much of a chance as being terrible, but open source software tends to have a higher ratio of "crap" than commercial software.<BR

High school's the place at which to have fun. College is expensive, unless it's a junior college, in which case, they should mellow out!

I just bought an iBook, and it's a beautiful thing! I have noticed that it is very limited in its GUI though. Honestly though, I don't think such features (or lack of) are as significant as the real reason many people avoid Macs: the price. The fact that there's a shortage of freeware doesn't help either.

I'm sure the Jews disliked it when their land was taken from them, which is why I'm wondering why it's all right when it was taken from them, but not when they take it from those who took it from them.

Let's see. The Israelites want peace, but the Arabs refuse to give them peace because they don't like foreigners living there, so Israel is the bad guy? Islamic fanatics create suicide bombers to attack Israel, so Israel is the bad guy? Arab countries will attack Israel and other countries with terrorism, so Israel is the bad guy? When another country kills Jews and takes their land, it's all right, but when Jews take back that land, they're the bad guys? I don't know. It sou

Honestly, I think that it's anti-Semitism as well. When I see people criticizing the actions of Israel while they condone the same actions by its neighbors, what else can it be? I'd be upset if my neighbor built something on my property, but if I wanted the system to help me, I'd work with it and not against it. Of course, if I felt that losing some land was complete justification for terrorism, then I should probably leave the USA and move to a country that was founded only on the purest of

I completely agree. There's plenty of artists out there, especially on the Internet, and if people hate the RIAA so much and think that the music sucks so much, why not try independent bands? I haven't listened to any for awhile, but with a subscription to eMusic, I plan to listen to less mainstream stuff. Besides, supporting the competition would destroy the RIAA faster than a mandatory tax that ensures their longevity.

Since I won't get docked for "trolling" on here, here's what I have to say on the subject. Taxes are truly the spice of life. If it weren't for taxes, I would have to get a job! So please, when you're paying taxes, think of people like me... people who suffer from chronic laziness syndrome. In other words, stop being selfish and give all your money to me! (That basically sums up what I feel such people as the ones supporting taxes to feed their piracy addictions are saying)

I hope that there are riots worldwide in response to this. I don't mind Hollywood wanting to milk things, but they should keep some bit of integrity and stop producing so many sequels (including prequels)! They should go back to just releasing the film with slightly cleaned up footage.

It looks like a matter of preference mostly. Many of the pros for both sides are things I'm sure not everybody needs. One thing's for sure though: I want an iBook. OS X is beautiful, but even the most beautiful interface gets tiring after awhile. Is it possible to change the look of OS X without having to use another program?

Honestly, I don't think these chemicals are as bad as they seem. In fact, I have a feeling that we as humans will adapt to these chemicals, much like humans have already adapted to all the other junk in the air that Mother Nature so lovingly puts there. Besides, maybe I'm mistaken, but it's always seemed to me that those who are obsessed with cleanliness get sick more than those who don't care either way (although I still think cleanliness is next to godliness).
