I really agree with you way of thinking, spend money improving you own product, than diss the competition.
The truble is they (MS) might spend there money rather well this way with FUD etc.
The best example I can give right now would be Coca Cola. Do they spend money improving products? Not that much compared to advertising.
Should they improve their product?
Well, their product do cause some diet and healht problems. All the suggar is a problem. This of cause is also a moral question. Is it really coca colas problem how people use their product.
The bottom line is, FUD might give the biggers bang for the $ for Microsoft. So why should the do 'the right' thing?
With all the newspeak comming from the President of the US, and the stories now running around the world about what really goes on in a war. One would think evidence was the first think you ask for, when someone say. "Thats not true." "This is how it is."
So the story around the pictures may be fake, lots of pictures are 'fabricated' big deal.
People still read (ha ha) playboy, but know the photos are constructed. The pictures are still pretty though right?
Try the same equation with OS, hum MS still on top. I would say it is between MS and Apple. Real makes no difference. Even if they were to join one of the two.
I think the music format market is still an open battle between MS and Apple.
Well you could make a great deal, look at Guinness
on
100-Year Domain Renewals?

In 1759 Arthur Guinness, rather speculatively, took over a deserted brewery at Dublin's St James's Gate, moreover he leased it for 9,000 years at a rent of 45 per annum - obviously intending on staying awhile.
Seems like/. editors only have a problem with the shoutterm memory, explaning all the dupes. However remembering stories from months back is no problem. Interesting!
In most 'poor' countries the problem in not the amount of food, but the distribution of it.
These so called poor countries often have large money making industries to buy food, or food is being donated to the country. Perhaps a better way to put it is. Food is being donated to the people, but often does not reach the people, but only the rich. (The seem to own all the weapons).
Money made from industries, such as diamonds, oile, timber and others goes in the pockets of the few in power, again the army is a prime candidate.
There are exceptions like North Corea, where stupidity and nature makes up a crule reality.
Look at your own country. (I asume USA). There _is_ food to go around, yet some goes hungry.

Hum, this headline caused me some confusion.
:)
In danish 'maven' is the word for stomach.
Well, can't win them all

but it also works the other way sometimes.
Think Watergate, or other stories that can only get out there because people can be anonymous.
Also another positive thing is when we vote. This would not work if one could be sure exactly what everyone voted for.
The sad thing is ofcause that hiding under a name/company/other often get abused. I guess that is the price we pay sometimes.
Hum, should I check the "Post Anonymously" box?
Is this one of the reasons why the US DOJ recently announced it is going to be taking a closer look at the porn industry?
Nope, they just like to get paid watching porn like the rest of the world.
It is called slashdotting :)
Com'on Taco you can do it. We need that dub.
Was just thinking the same.

You know what happens if you steal from Santa right?
You go on his "bad" list. And as Linus says: Don't mess with penguins.
The internet is more then just http (webbrowsing).
This mess up ftp, smtp nntp and other protocols as well.
Also why should Verisign have the right to steal page view from Microsoft? (or another browser og website).
Not if you have more then 51% of the market.

How would that work?
Didn't you see the Monkey boy dance video?

although I don't think the 900 numbers will have video on their ends..
But it would save alot of "what are you wearing?" questions if they did I guess.
Yes, it might sound stupid, but a simple things as to how many holes there are and where you put them on a noteblock, or a piece of paper.
To name a few we have:
two (2) in Denmark,
three (3) in US, and
four (4) in Sweden.
Am I the only one with this problem?
Oh, and what about when to say: 'Good morning/day/afternoon/night' is there a standard time interval for this?

Distribution of wealth is the real problem.
Wow! That is the best Catch 22 I've seen in a long time.
Got more?
