Circuit judge overturns verdict in Twist case

Circuit judge overturns verdict in Twist case

I was wondering what was happening with this case. Tony Twist is such an idiot -- this guy would never have gotten many endorsements, regardless of the Spawn character. He's a no-talent goon.

CNET.com - News - Entertainment & Media - Warner Music endorses Windows Media format

CNET.com: Warner Music endorses Windows Media format

Seems kinda stupid for AOL to endorse another proprietary Microsoft format.

RE: Groove... I'm so frustrated!

My Groove screen name is JimRoepcke. If you want to share a space with me, please do -- I'd love to see what other people are doing with Groove. Thanks!

Update: As the day goes on I'm getting more and more pissed off about not being able to groove with the people I communicate with on a daily basis.

Update 2: Lots of great comments in this thread of the discussion group.

CNET.com - News - Entertainment & Media - Techies' homes are their castles

Read this article if you want to understand why I LOVE working at home, and to date have ignored job opportunities and offers in beautiful offices all over the world to work from my basement. I couldn't have said it any better.

CNET.com: Techies' homes are their castles

That's why Berg called techies' telecommuting tendency "a call to balance and wellness."

"Working from home is not just removal of a commute," he said. "It's, 'I'm more productive here, I'm not interrupted here, I can be a better person if I'm working from my house.'"

Amen.

RE: This subject intentionally left blank

What really upsets me about this is -- okay, they endorse Bush. Does that mean they want him to win? Does that mean they aren't objective in their reporting? Are they in Bush's camp? If I'm not a Republican (I'm Canadian so this is moot) can I trust this paper to present an unbiased view of the world for me on a daily basis?

I don't really understand what this means, for a paper to endorse a political candidate.

This subject intentionally left blank

via dansays: What the hell is the media doing, endorsing someone for president?

I thought the media was supposed to be impartial, just report the news. Is this like the Tribune making their pick for the Superbowl? Hmm, seeing as how politics are just as overblown as american football (and college basketball), maybe so!

I can't wait til this nightmare is over.

Groove... I'm so frustrated!

I installed Groove. But, I don't want to USE it. (Okay, I do, but not under these circumstances)

I don't want to use software that locks me into Windows... I'm looking forward to moving to Mac OS X. I'd love to start a family space -- but my Dad uses a Mac and couldn't participate.

I'd love to start a project workspace -- but my customer's project manager uses a Mac and couldn't participate.

I'd love to start a discussion forum -- but so many of my friends use Macs and wouldn't be able to participate.

I'd love to starta a file collection space, but then I couldn't get to the files from my PowerBook.

Sigh.

Respect my platform choice, DAMNIT!
