people follow their look and feel and their marketing, which is a shame, because it really isn't all that good in the first place.
You have got to be kidding! Microsoft has great marketing, and we can learn a lot from it. In fact, we should all pitch in and hire the Rolling Stones for the launch of Mozilla 0.91.:-)
For years, my manager refused to support Microsoft solutions because they weren't standards-based. Unfortunately, we couldn't use Unix either because he didn't want to build or support anything in-house... as a result, we didn't have anything. Our users were furious, but eventually his teflon wore off:-)
"The first review will come in December 2002. At that time, dot-biz, dot-info, dot-name and dot-pro must have 10 percent share of the Web address market, or the retail unit of VeriSign must sell 25 percent or fewer of new Web addresses.
"The second review will take place in March 2004."
Obviously they don't understand how much the Internet changes in 18 months.
Perhaps they're using moderation as a form of satire...

If there were a way for discovery agents to determine a supplier's credibility or reliability, they could make those tradeoff decisions. (For example, a ranking service could represent the following data: this vendor is not rated as 'extremely reliable,' but they're very new, well-financed, and already have accounts with other major players.) The more transparency a vendor allowed into their processes, the easier it would be to establish trust and get a good ranking.
We already have reputation management like credit ratings and eBay customer feedback, but we need something a lot better. I see this as a fundamental missing piece.
The proposed 'Green Pages' directory offers two main benefits:
as described in the Stencil Group paper, this will provide a standard way to dig up technical information about services (business rules, service descriptions, invocation details, and data binding);
by collecting green pages, we can return to Myst and free Dad from the D'ni link book.
I read somewhere that mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide. The enemy would just have to listen for the sound of excessive bug-swatting, and open fire. (Either that, or use the mosquitos themselves to deliver a deadly payload.)
This article
says most of what I wanted to say, and says it better. Let me add one thing though:
Microsoft is as irresponsible with their technological power as the chemical companies who have polluted the environment for decades, not knowing or caring what unexpected side effects might result.
Given the complexity of human trust relationships, and the fact that Microsoft never gets anything security-related right the first time, nobody should trust them to
"change society's infrastructure."
(Not to mention the fact that they have no business trying to re-architect human society when they don't even know how to architect an OS.)
A flawed system like.NET is to the Information Age what polluting industries were to the Industrial Age. No wonder Microsoft is lobbying Congress. We'll have to fight them the way the last generation had to fight the chemical companies.
But if you need something catchy? Microsoft.NET is the Next Chernobyl.
ok, I was confusing this with the trademark rules
which allow McDonald's to control mcdonalds.org. Hopefully nobody can get trademark protection on the word "sex".

In order to phase out generic TLDs, you'd have to give the.com owners a way to migrate to.us (where the majority of domain holders are). Unfortunately the.us domain is based on geographical hierarchy -- Slashdot would have to become slashdot.andover.ma.us -- and that system isn't as user-friendly as a.com.
Good going. As soon as somebody faxes your post to the AOL execs, they'll use your idea and create their own splinter TLD. The net is doomed and it's your fault.
I think this shows that people are actually upgrading their version 4 IE browsers to IE 5 themselves and not just sticking with what came with the OS
And it doesn't hurt that IE always checks for version upgrades on startup.;-) You have to disable it in Advanced Options, someplace most users would never venture. I hate to say it, but NS SmartUpdate is a pain compared to Microsoft's auto-updating features -- homogenous platform, more attention to user-friendliness, etc.
You make it sound like this is the last IE hole they'll ever have to plug:)
Kinda like those kids who got their hands on the IE6 beta, and after using it for 4 hours proclaimed: "NO bugs! NO crashes!" A bug-free beta? From Microsoft? Now that's 1337.

A quick Google search for 'supertoys kubrick miniature dinosaurs' will clarify things.
I hope this one lasts even longer than summer! :)

I'm guessing it was due to weight limitations -- especially considering the size of tape machines back then.

of course, it's pretty scary to hot-swap those RLL hard drives with the power turned on.

Just curious.
it's kinda like a troll playing with a yoyo.

in other news, the Micro-Soft Insect Pillow Co. has won back the right to the microsoft.com domain which they originally registered in 1990.
