Ouch. Think the Apple stock can bear yet another flap with consumers. I wonder if there will be iBurnings of iPods in iTimeSquared.

Jobs does not really seem to be a people person.

7 Reasons Why Linux Won't Succeed On The Desktop -- InformationWeek

Things that hold me from going to Linux on the desktop

1. It is hard to quantify cost savings at this level by using desktop software that is not compatible with standard software, esp. in the service industry. If my customers cannot see output from documents like Word in a format they enjoy then I take the risk of displeasure or feelings of lack of service. Trust me on this one. Sun sent me a document in OpenOffice and I couldn't read it to save my soul - had to ship it back to them twice.

2. More soft costs - Training someone who has used the same tool for X number of years is painful. Remember training folks to use Word after they had used WordPerfect for so long? MS helped us here by including a WP set of menus. OpenOffice has helped this along by including a similar interface but it is still difficult to get folks to look past the differences.

3. Applications we use are focused on Windows not Linux. Even with the latest version of Vista I cannot change to a new OS

This guy disgusts me and there is no excuse for his action. I am writing to express a belief in what the actual Constitution says on this point. Yes the legislators are exempt from arrest while to/from or in session, however they can still be charged and held accountable when the session is over. This is a fine point but I believe precidence is set on these items. The point being they cannot be detained but can still be held accountable.

The Constitution held this point, I believe, to keep legislators from being detained from delivering votes to represent their constituents. Meaning they could still be held accountable but not stopped from getting their votes to the floor.

So the officer may not have arrested him then, but could have sought a bench warrant or similar action allowing him to still make it to congress in time.

It is a good thing to know the your rights.
