but I was tyring to emphasize that part of the business model is to gather valuable data. I don't have a EULA for XP but I speculate that somewhere in there that installing the software obliges activation data to be supplied or something.
I got this idea teasing one of my gay friends that as all gays are well known to be pedophiles did he want copies of photos of me when I was a kid so he could wank about me and be safe in the knowledge that I was giving consent for him to do it.
this is why I use an IMAP server on my LAN. My email clients can change every day and no matter.
and as I use Qmail and Courier all my messages are stored in the filesystem in fodlers too so my filing is preserved across many backups / upgrades / client changes etc. etc.
I argued this out with my quake friends - what use is producing more fps than your monitor can handle?
they went on about mouse responseiveness
no I dont understand either
All I can think of is 2x oversampling to reduce aliasing in 150hz monitors
tbh I can discern a 1 field error (even subtle things) in the animated moveis I used to make and that would be 50hz (2 fields per frame and PAL @ 25 fps) so I very much doubt that 50fps is the upper bound of noticability. I was aware that even when I pointed the anomalies out people around me couldnt see them until I slowed it down or picked out the single frame. I think one becomes tuned to such devices. Ask a musician and a layperson to disect sound and you'll see what I mean.

you could have 1 million windows and still all of them idle!
no I'm not serious

As I haven't cost M$ a cent in revenue
You are stealing money from Microsoft. The data you provide for product activation has value, however small.
if I took
notice the if
tbh I wish I had then I could shock people now

now that would be weird
be prosecuted for having child porn of yourself taken by yourself and never shown to anyone else until the day someone found it and showed the cops!
I don't Microsoft would let their other OS family drop IE
if I took pictures of myself masturbating when I was 14, is it ok for me to sell them now I'm 30?
get boiling!!
50+3+1-1+2-1=49?
50 + 3 = 50
50 + 1 = 50
50 - 1 = 49
49 + 2 = 50
50 - 1 = 49
It doesn't matter how much water you pour into a pint glass, it can only hold a pint. This is what an upper bound is. jeesh, get over it
If the guy says he'll release the code, give him a chance.
If it includes GPL code it's not his decision it was an agreement to which he agreed the terms at the start not negotiate them near the end.
or less than functional. :)
it's procedural! I think that's enough evidence
MS admitted it first.
eh? MS has had holes for years and yet the admit it in 2002 and you suggest that's first?
gonna be a pretty major bug though
All my messages are in separate files and folders, it would have to do some major work to bork it.
As a precaution anyway I run a nightly cron to archive my read messages.
I gas jews all day, man those bitches sure are whiney

Almost right.
A beta is released to find bugs it's not sugegsted that this is the final version.
RC1 is exactly that. The developers are stating "We think the job is finished. This is the code we are going to release. Any problems/feedback?"
I write javascript apps and big ones at that not just mouseovers and the like.
Since 0.98 I priomarily use Mozilla as my development browser and then do the IE specific stuff afterwards.
I have found that it's IE's javascript that is the most annoying of the two.
And Opera's is just annoying "left hand side of line xxx can not be assigned to" yawn
die soon please
It's more like joules per coulomb.
Electricty travels at the same speed regardless of the power.
I was using exclamation points because I was making exclamations. That's what they are for!
The JPEG standard compresses image files which are then transmitted across the web faster than uncompressed files.
excellent, using jpeg2000 increases my bandwidth too!
There I was thinking they downloaded at the same speed but in less time!
when it comes round the next time and it's *already* white!
