willfe Unfortunately, thanks to some seriously boneheaded design decisions by Microsoft in the last decade (think Outlook for a great example), it's entirely possible to not only receive but be infected by *and* transmit to others a virus communicated entirely via a...

Is Internet Radio Doomed?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 17 Apr 07

Recently, the Copyright Royalty Board issued a new ruling about how internet broadcasters must pay for the music they broadcast. Many online broadcasters testified or submitted opinions/materials on the subject, which the CRB...

willfe You're right -- that's actually pretty encouraging, and it'd totally escaped me that the remainder of the world is going to cheerfully laugh at the United States when it comes calling for "royalties" and we're still going to hear good tunes. They just won't be...

Is ANYONE Out There Actually Happy With Windows Vista?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 2 Apr 07

I've read all sorts of reviews (none of them glowing) about Windows Vista -- too many different versions, too expensive, too resource-greedy, too incompatible, just as vulnerable to the old tricks as XP and all the Windows...

willfe Okay, so you paid how much for a shiny new interface? What else, apart from make your screen look like "glass," has this thing actually done for you? The "cut-and-paste" job you did is something straight from a Microsoft site (or a shill) so we can entirely...

Do You Opt-Out From Ads?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 16 Apr 07

Ever Realized Just What You're Actually Eating?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 4 Apr 07

This evening during dinner my friend pointed out to me, as I was eating some delicious fried shrimp, that it had not, in fact, been de-veined. Now oddly enough I knew what this meant and as I examined my knowledge about shrimp I...

willfe Heh, yeah, scary thought, ain't it? I've never bought into the Hebrew brand's claims -- clinging to a religion's beliefs just to sell more product is pretty scummy, whether I agree with the religion or not.

Do Schools Expect Too Much From Their Students?

willfe @willfe (149) • United States 12 Apr 07

Modern American schools, despite (or perhaps because of) all the claims that they're falling behind, pressure our students into all sorts of "extras" that aren't strictly required for graduation (or even admission to good...

1 response

willfe This is exactly my point -- it becomes "blame the student" instead of "fix the system." I assume you mean these classes (chorus/drama and academic alike) are trying to "prepare" her for college by burying her in work that's nearly impossible to complete on...

willfe It's certainly not going to ever "take over" in the average consumer's mind, at least until it can't be bought anymore. That's coming soon -- Vista is preloaded on almost all new computers now and MS are rapidly yanking XP off the shelves for anyone except...

When Invoices Aren't Really Invoices
