Yeah, but in Microsoft-ese, "Embrace" means "...to grab hold of firmly and throttle the life out of a competitor or potential competitor, using any and all means necessary, legal and, well, less than legal".
What a bunch of crap.
Try flying into Moscow, which I did about six years ago.
Passport checking was down some steps, non-air conditioned room. One flight had arrived ahead of mine. Then, a number of more flights arrived. Room was approximately 20 by 20 yards in area. It eventually filled up with about 3500 people.
How do I know this? Well, it took 3 AND A HALF HOURS OF STANDING, PRESSED LIKE SARDINES to get everyone through ONE passport checking booth. And, that was just for me. People behind me got to wait longer.
There were fights breaking out, people passing out from the crush, etc. No attempt by police or security to try and help matters, no additional booth opened up to check passports, nothing.
Anxiety on the hoof. Really gave you a nice warm "Hello, welcome to Russia! WE DON'T FRICKIN' WANT YOU HERE!" message.
I have seen this once or twice recently.
I learned, long ago, that you *never* click any button or even on the ad itself, not even the frickin button.
The time or two I saw it recently, I just killed the process (web browser I was using at the time). A bit annoying, but not as annoying as just opening the door to malware.
Uh, nope.
A right cannot be taken away.
It is a right, you have it, period.
Freedom of the press is just that. Doesn't matter what form that press is.
And the ruling does no such thing regarding blogging not being journalism.
And, a press pass is something given by and entity (event runner, sponsor, etc.) to members of the media (whatever media that happens to be). A "press pass" is not a governmental issued thing, period. It would be unconstitutional for the government to issue any such thing and only allow people with the "press pass" to engage in *press*.
Read your Constitution, make sure you understand the big words, starting with "Constitution".
... that women and men think differently.
No, really.
This study is a bunch of crap.

But, MS Paint is not useable for what I need.
Ever seen what it does to a screen shot that you try to save out as a GIF file? OMG, my eyes, my eyes!
I use Paint Shop Pro for all my screen shot for documentation work. MS Paint, maybe be relatively small and simple, but it's CRAP, IMHO!
Well, this type of thing is gonna happen more and more and MSFT will not win all of them.
And, in addition, MSFT will mess up in some very very easily prosecuted way while trying to *bribe* a politician or make a campaign donation, etc. that will be the start of the end of MSFT's shenanigans.
MSFT is slimey, they always have been slimey. It is just a matter of time before they cross the line of laws that spells their demise.
Bull crap.
They could make it available for XP, but MSFT won't, unless they are put into the position where they just have to, because almost no one will move to VISTA just to have DX10.
Yet another Linux person that will work at MSFT for a short bit, then get the heck outta Redmond once he sees how screwed up things really are from the inside.
I thought Microsoft killed Netscape.
Or, rather, I thought Netscape 6 killed Netscape. Never have I used (very briefly) a more computer resource hogging piece of crap...er...software than Netscape 6.
... Ralph Yarro, probably one of the bigger scumbags in the computing industry, enriching himself off of his enfeebled employer (Mr. Noorda) and, as a result, making off with cash that, for the most part, should have gone to charities and Mr. Noorda's son.
I guess now he feels he needs to make up for his bordering on criminal behavior by making himself *look* like a paragon of virtue, fighting pr0n on the internet....
Yeah. uh huh. Pardon me while I projectile vomit.
Bob N'Drool is at it again.
Of course, *he* would promote that IT not advocate a particular product, OS, etc.
Unlike Bob *Rant for Rent* N'Drool, bastion of MSFT and others pay me for my opinions, but, of course, the money they pay me has no bearing whatsoever on what I advocate or pan. Nosirree, uh uh, never happen....
What a fargin' 'tard.

Bill Gates' *charity* when it comes to the computer arena, is just another marketing/PR arm of Microsoft.

... *is* the problem, not only in regards to the DMCA but just about everything else these a-holes try to pull. What a frickin' dunderhead.
Microsoft P.O.S., "Plays, Only Sometimes", well, and that other thing that P.O.S. stands for. It's kind of like getting a two-fer... er... sort of.
... I'll have the light nano-soup with the eggless nanoodles.
Yes, I agree. TFA is legal hogwash. 'Nuff said. NEXT!

Winning strategy *and* Microsoft?
Yeah, that's gonna work.
Billy-boy Clinton *did* do all of those things, stop lying. Or are you taking lessons from Bill?

Joe Walsh, to the best of my recall, also invented (and held at least one patent at one time) on the phaze guitar.
