That's a good point and it may finely be the thing which pushes big company away from Microsoft (and other organizations for that mater), I know many company have put off vista upgrades for similar reasons and letting user installed programs take control would be a very big deterrent
Since when did Microsoft offer compatibility just because they don't follow standards and have web server products with proprietary standards that no one else can use dose not mean they offer compatibility
Really? Here's a question for whatever 80 year old, possibly Amish, European dumbass thought that one up. If Windows doesn't come with a web browser, how do you get one? You just go download firefox...ohhhhh wait, you can't go download it because there's no browser. You don't see audio editors going out of business just because Sound Editor has been included with Windows for like 15 years. And I don't think Adobe is very worried about Photoshop getting trampled by MS Paint. There's a reason CNN doesn't just use Windows Movie Maker for their field editing too. This is just idiotic.
Yes but it is when you have another browser installed you can't remove it and it pops up every now and then in different programs!
e.g
all the windows live products
windows update
and MS Outlook (It uses the engine)
Dose not the x86 architecture contain a method to do this with the Protection layers or something?
It stop applications excuting at the wrong level and manages system calls.
How is it that the other Anglo-Saxon countries are all WORSE than the US when it comes to digital rights and freedoms? Canada's version of the DMCA is worse, NZ has this, Australia has its wonderful new Great Barrier Firewall planned, and don't even get me started on Britain and encryption. Seriously?
Really?
I thought America had been a British colony as well!
And that's why every one should have there own Linux distro that no one else can figure out how to use maybe with some auto delete function if you press the wrong key and maybe modify open source software to use undocumented file formats as well just for good measure
Police Officer: Hand over your encryption keys or its jail for you
Suspect: Here you go officer, good luck
Police Officer: Hay this still isn't working
Suspect: Yes it is your just not using it right, Oh and you just wiped the Hard Drive, bye
There is a simple solution here:
If you have a realy good idea that you intend to start a business with then patent it before you submit your work! You would have to do it anyway
....Probably - over a few hundred million years.....
Probably is a statistical word. Do you have an idea what the probability is that a fish can evolve into a horse?
A fish can evolve into a horse like creature that is a FACT if you take evolution as a FACT
The likely hood of a fish evolving into a horse like creature is however very low even given a suitable environment and a few million years
It is however a impossibility that a fish can evolve into a specific species that already exists without impossible amounts of interbreeding with extinct creatures which would not be evolution
I vote for someone who doesn't get in, my vote is wasted and I'm lumped with one of the two parties, or I can suck it up and vote for one of the two options that I dislike the least as that's the only realistic way my vote will have any influence on the outcome.
Yet again you are incorrect in that you can chose a second choice and third and so on in the AU system so if your candidate is eliminated then you vote is counted for your next best choice
Not really. We have an institutionalised two party system in Australia. People become disenfranchised because they're left choosing between two options they don't want, or wasting their vote on an alternative that will never get in to a position relevancy.
Here you are incorrect currently one alternative(the greens) has the power to and is blocking this bill in my understanding that THAT IS RELEVANT
There are no other meaningful alternatives, and I have no way of effectively voting to show my support for some of the current policies of the government and my strong displeasure at others
That is disenfranchising
Yes you do vote for an independent or small party in the senate that supports some of your issues and a party or independent the supports other issues in the house of reps
alternatively you could help form a party or become an independent your self as the politicians will still see numbers about how many people voted for you.
If you try to get into the senate and theres enough people who agree with you in your state you might even get in
The thing is, the problem doesn't even begin with clueless voters. The problem begins with the fact that all the choices you have to vote on are bad. I mean really, a choice between 2 candidates that are both going to take the country even further into the crapper? It's like your financial advisor giving you a choice between setting your cash on fire or flushing it down the toilet.
Give me a government system where literally anyone who is competent has a real chance to get elected, and I'll agree that my vote matters.
I believe the article was about Australia where in the last election there where 3 reasonable partys (+Independents) of course one was allot smaller(the greens) but now hold the balance of power in the senate (along with the independents) also on a side note not many pepole know but it is compulsory to vote in Oz so there is not a big source of new voters as in the US elections
The difference is that for a new TLD, ICANN estimates the fees involved as:
The Evaluation Fee is designed to make the new gTLD program self-funding only. This was a recommendation of the Generic names Supporting Organization (GNSO). A detailed costing methodology â" including historical program development costs, and predictable and uncertain costs associated with processing new gTLD applications through to delegation in the root zone â" estimates a per applicant fee of $US185,000. This is the estimated cost per evaluation in the first application round.
The fee also includes $US100,000 per applicant relating to both fixed and variable costs of processing each application.
So if you have $100,000 to give to ICANN plus another $85K or so for expenses, you can have your proposal for.goatse or.profit considered. For a non-profit organization, it's surprising that it costs $100K for just the application fee. Given that they're essentially opening the floodgates for new TLDs, surely their historic costs for organizational overhead with maintaining only a few TLDs will drop drastically, such that the absurd fees they're charging will no longer be warranted.
I predict the ICANN board members and key employees will be given very hefty bonuses and pay raises to offset the potential for profits.
or perhaps it is to dither people who can't afford the infrastructure or people who would do phishing scams

For those interested This site has some charts , monthly since 1991
However none of those are criminal offences, so the warrant should not have been issued
If CO2 levels increase/stay the same and the global temperature drops then there would seem to be a problem with the hypothesis.
Unless of course there was another hypothesis which explain it say: Global warming -> temperature -> arctic melting -> ice age
your right because global warming destabilizes the climate as well as heating it up
You missed one, the U.K uses imperial for distances and weight
Actual it can't apply to politics the high court has ruled that in order to have a free election politics can't be censored
Part of the JRE is applet support in browsers so it is and always has been part of the JRE.
This is not new there has been a browser plug-in auto installed at least since JRE 1.5

If Saxon only has 5 employees, it will be interesting to see what their domestic industry is.

I think that should be X = x^3

you mean like maybe a software bug for handling leap seconds?
Perhaps it is the leap second that is coursing problems for computers using NTP and other time servers
