Whatever Libertarians stand for is completely clouded by their support for legalization of drugs. (Whether they should be or should continue to be illegal is another issue). When a party is reduced to a single issue to define themselves it ceases to be a major player in the marketplace of ideas. This is the tatic that the Dems and Repubs use against each other: reduce their platforms to a single issue (and the Dems are more successfully able to target the Repubs as anti-abortion than the Repubs are able to show the Dems as tax-and-spend).
Until this cloud is removed from the Libertarian agenda it will continue to be marginalized.
According to Scott Schnoll's article (above) IE 1.0 was included in the Internet Jumpstart Kit in Microsoft Plus! For Windows 95. The Plus pacj would not necessarily be associated with the strategic plan of Microsoft (althought Pinball is fun).
aside: For myself, I first used the WWW as a AOL user in 1994 -- I was playing with gopher and saw a notice that a special preview of the WWW would be made available on request to AOL users. I remember Yahoo (and the path to the 'good stuff'). Those were the days...
Meanwhile, MS finished Windows NT. And in terms of file sharing, it wasn't so good. But it could run a DBMS (SQL Server), and get this....the license was FREE. You bought the server software and all the clients you wanted were free.
Is this true? MS NT Server doesn't require client licensing? When my company was planning its long term strategy in 1996 we switched from Citrix/WinNT to RedHat Linux for this very reason. I haven't paid attention to Windows NT/2000/XP since and would be very interested if your claim is true. (Our business would have collapsed under the weight of MS per-client licenses; our move to RedHat was self-preservation).
Do you actually *use* KDE and Mozilla together? If you did you'd quickly realize that what you just suggested is the reason for my frustration; ergo, complaint.

Don't be an ass -- if an application supports Ctrl-C clipping and Ctrl-V pasting it's highly annoying that doing so won't work between applications. There is no excuse (maybe a reason, but no excuse) for such behavior. Besides, on my Toshiba laptop three-button emulation sucks (completely unnatural figer position to click both button strips) and I have YET to find a Linux setting to make use of my scroll buttons(the enhanced middle button that is split into two strips on my laptop: Scroll Up, Scroll Down).
Not easy with a 2 button laptop "mouse". Actually, I have 4 buttons: Left, Center Up, Center Down, Right. I can only use 3 button emulation - and that sucks. Not a viable answer for the clipboard being inconsistent.
I use KDE but prefer Mozilla. I am *sick* of the incompatible clipboards that KDE/GTK use. As a matter of fact, I just complained to my co-worker about this and said, "This is why a monopoly is a good thing: someone to declare 'clipboard functions work this way or no way'". Damn I hate this.
My wife and I used to sleep 8 or 9 hours each night. Then we had kids. Now, 7 hours of sleep per day seems luxurious! Especially after son #2 (one's up, the other's down; then they switch)
Texas A&M announced that a similar project, CopyCmdr has commenced today with the agreement of one Kathleen Hent to consent to marry CmdrTaco of Slashdot fame.
Don't believe me? check out the IIS curve at Netcraft [netcraft.com] . What happened after Nimda and Code Red? IIS usage INCREASED.
IT purchasing decisions are made by people who are insulated from these problems but not from IT advertising. Ergo, this kind of problem has little to no effect on the IT market.
When was the last time Boeing or Airbus got sued for a plane that came down?
The last time (and every time prior) an airplane came down the mfg was sued. It's SOP. Boeing was even sued after the 1999 Egypt Airline "Insh'Allah" crash into the Atlantic Ocean.
Every single time a plane crashes the mfg is sued. Every single time -- and wait for one to come this year against Boeing for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the basis that the planes are designed unsafely and are too easy to commandere. There's already a suit against Delta.

Orthodox Christians believe God is irrational (triune: an irrational number meaning 3 yet 1, 1 yet 3). Got Faith?
Thanks for the link. Very helpful.
WoW! Now THAT'S the way friendly school rivalry is SUPPOSED to sound!
BTW, you may want to schedule your psycho-therapy sessions a little closer together...
That is not the same story, so this is not a repeat. Feasibility testing is different than announcing an initial rollout.
As a matter of fact, it looks like FrontPage98

You never installed OS/2 2.1, did you? THAT was long, tedious and the disks would alternate between working/not working. I still have it somewhere...
> The only step left is to charge for a license to have the licenses.
Isn't there a license manager program (I am out of the MSFT loop)? That would be your license to have licenses.

Humor through obscurity is only slightly better than security thusly.
