The OS company wouldn't be able to maintain it's monopoly as easily without the 'support' of the apps company (people buy windows to run office). similarly for the apps company.
also, there's nothing illegal about a monopoly as long as it doesn't abuse it's monopoly power. the OS company is prohibited from extending it's reach, which was the problem.
libel and all "sueing" is a civil matter (the police and the government don't get involved, just 2 citizens). here the police seemed to have been involved. that's what it's like in britain anyway. also, i think that if you say stuff like this to people in person then it's called slander and you can sue.
msxml bastardisation? isn't it the only implementation of xslt integrated into a browser at the moment? certainly the mozilla support isn't there yet.
if this is true, then you should be blaming all the other implementors for not keeping up and supporting it, rather than blame microsoft, who are the only company even to complete a minimal implementation.
don't complain, don't moan, do something about it. and smile:o)
Quite right. YOu can't predict what will push a nutter over the edge. It could be anything.
That chap who used to kill and eat people, Jeffrey Dahmer...one of the films he used for "inspiration" was "Return of the Jedi", which was passed by the censors for all ages.
the ideal portable mp3 player for me has enough onboard memory to hold a few songs and then loads in other ones from portable removable storage - eg CDs or minidiscs. it wouldn't do any encoding because the music would already be encoded into mp3 on the CD. this way you could have a cheap (not much RAM), portable (no hard disk), flexible (you can carry around as many CDs or minidiscs as you want) player.
odd choice for a movie review. scream 3 came out ages ago (in the US anyway). the main point of a review is for people to read it before (duh!:) )they see the movie and surely almost everyone who wants to see it has seen it by now?
i heard a few years ago that microsoft fires the bottom 10% of their workforce every year (measured by performance reviews)? was this ever true and, if so, is it still true?
ActiveX controls are used in visual basic. my company makes machine vision activeX controls - it's a good packaging solution cos they can be used in apps with thousands of other controls.
however, don't source rpms do most of these things? the compilation will use./configure, make, make install so you have the cross-platform advantages of autoconf and the extra advantages of having a package compiled to fit your system.
a bad point is that you have to interpret compilation failures
btw, packages are coming to windows in the near future via the new installer service thingy that comes by default with win2k.
"-- Consolidate the complementary networks of VA (including Linux.com, Sourceforge.net, and Themes.org) and Andover.Net (including Slashdot.org and Freshmeat.net) to create the Internet's leading destination for Open Source developers"
they will consolidate, if they do what they say in the press release
there's a better idea out there for how to wrap the library. there's a project called "free speech" (you can get it on freshmeat) that is implementing it as a daemon that apps can connect to when they want speech input.
Yep, it's a stinker. Bad UI. It used the ancient "raimer" database for logs which was prone to corruption in the only other case I've used it (PVCS Tracker)
I found that even the ntbackup program that comes with NT is better - it backs up Exchange too.
The main sysadmin at our site was constantly complaining about it too. It dumped some of our backups.

If it becomes even reasonably widespread and successful then it becomes useless for WAVE's purpose.
Virtually everybody will end up on their database. Everyone does something at some point that WAVE would consider dodgy.
What use is a discriminatory database if virtually everyone is on it?

what's wrong with diversity?
maybe possible maintenance problems - of course this is alleviated by having common interfaces.

dialpad.com uses a java app
I tried dialpad.com last night and found it had rather bad quality - unusable in fact

does anyone know where i can get some info on optimizing for this processor? also, i'd like to know what these new integer instructions are in 3DNow.
a good definition is they're the same species if they can mate (and produce offspring) - saw this in some museum or other
i think that the funniest thing in the article is the bit where they say that his new portable (vaio) runs windows.
