A few articles at The Register have talked about how MS will be "building SQL Server into the OS - effectively making the file system a relational database." This will greatly improve efficiency, and concentrate them into one database format instead of a mixture. And its even probably legal.

Its already all over the web. I read it at The Register hours ago.
MarketPro, probably the one's you're seeing on tv, has shows across the country. Some venues are better than others. Maryland State Fairgrounds is pretty large. Of course if the vendors decide not to go to that particular one, you're out of luck. The one at Ramada Conference & Exhibition Center in New Carrollton, MD, was pretty good the last time I was there.
Forgive me for the karma whoring, but all I did was scroll down my SlashDot homepage to see that Timothy already posted an article about Code Red II.

Very good. Now go RTFM: The first line says "Install into a new empty directory. Installing on top of previously installed builds may cause problems. "
Bugzilla 44787 has been marked as a Won't Fix. It was originally entered as a bug (as in Bugzilla) and has been established as a minimum requirement. "The linux builds are built on RedHat 6.0 systems which
use glibc 2.1. Therefore, the minimum required version of glibc is 2.1. Builds
have been known to work (occassionally) when built under glibc 2.0.7 but they
aren't officially built nor supported (due to known race problems with the 2.0
dynamic loader). "
Of course most people get the latest and greatest version of Linux by downloading (and burning) themselves. Not everyone has the bandwidth. Some people buy the boxed set to get the support, the goodies, or to just support the company that bothers to put the package together. If you want them to stay in business, then you find a way to give money to them.
What happened to our right to back up our own cds? This technology assumes that any copying of the cd must be for piracy. And should they implement the 'damaging' factor (not currently used in the European trial) and it destroys audio equipment, I see lawsuits up the wazoo. Once again, the 'golden ears' say that it may cause some drop in fidelity. And of course I'm sure these cds aren't marked as copy protected, either.
Thats fine, if you only are blocking x10. But as pop-unders become more ubiquitous (and of course more annoying), then you wind up blocking more domains.
I use Sneak Email to direct my mail. Any time I need to enter my e-mail address, I create a new one. Worried about Amazon.com going bankrupt and selling your e-mail address? Worry no more. You can adjust the filters to block domains, all mail, or just delete the address from existence. Why bother configuring your own host to filter when you can use SneakEmail for free.
Of course it helps to spamproof your address when posting to message boards (see mine above).
Filling in a needless registration form? I started putting 'abuse@theirdomain.com' instead. If Real.com wants to spam me, they'll just spam themselves.
Its also AT&T Wireless. It seems to come from haivng a credit check run when you're purchasing online. So far, one bankrupt background checker is suspected.
Does this cover all file retrieval? What about the many different protocols out there? HTTP, FTP, TCP/IP, etc? The site with the patent description is already Slashdotted, so read a bit more over here. The legal battle is far from over, and this article is rather vague on the details. Why does it mention Intuit and Compuserve in particular?
Just keep in mind all the security flaws that ActiveX is known for. If you read the info, it recommends running it under a separate user ID than your usual one, to protect your files.
Then ask it to be re-opened. I did that with a bug I had reported. And with more details, they were able to find the root cause. I'll find out on Monday whether they really fixed it.

The article says that this is Optus@Home, in Australia.

Yes, but why do the filtering yourself? Sneakemail will do it for you. You can even give things longer names with spaces in them.
Um, if you read it, AOL is paying the OEMs, not Microsoft, for placement.

The issue that AOL and OEM's face is that Microsoft gets to put their icon on the desktop for free. AOL has to pay for placement.

They don't own WCW any more. Why your post of all their brands was modded up, I have no idea.

That assumes you've got your radar/camera pointed in the right direction.

This has become pretty similar to previous Slashdot posts
This was covered by The Register a few weeks ago.
ORBS is reborn
ORBS splits into ORBZ and ORBL
ORBS now split into three

There already is a Slashdot Story Generator
They already have Linux AIM client, why would AOL want another one?
