With that being said, if people don't want to forgive and forget it's their own problem and not yours. I'm everyone here as done something stupid, so it's silly for anyone to "hate" you for it. If they do, they are just as stupid. So for instance, if you stop posting like a sex-crazed psycho, I'm sure things will iron out in the future on its own, which maybe the exception of a few people that have anger issues. Oh, and while there's nothing wrong to question religion, religous topics should go into the soapbox. Jeremy Falcon

They tend to reuse advertising storylines around the world. I wonder what she's called in other countries ?

Well my problem was the site crashing not necessarily the ads. From my perspective it seems to have been getting worse over the last month or two. However if Chris reckons he has fixed it good :) I really don't much care whether CP has ads or paid subscriptions as long as it's not both. I'm also not interested in donations + ads which is the worst of all possible scenarios imho. Paying for the site and still getting the ads X|

It's obvious somebody gave him a leg up. <sound_of_rimshot> Software Zen: delete this;

Would you prefer they sell software that costs them nothing? This was in reference to them meeting various legal fines etc by 'donating' software with a retail price of millions but the true cost to microsoft is 0.10 per CD or probably just over 500.00 total. wiseguy_2112 wrote: I would prefer other corporations behave more like Microsoft. Unlike Enron, Worldcom, etc they actually make money by selling a product. They have filled a niche that the world needed Unlike telecommunications bandwidth and electricity Microsoft's products are not easily exchangable. Otherwise Enron probably would have tried to gamble with complex derivaties coupled to the future price of .NET Server 2005. Beyond that we are into accountings standards, corporate governance and government regulated checks and balances. I think thats a topic for another day. Cheers
