We might have to use all avaible energy know to mankind. But who cares, as long as we send a really cool massage. Like "Drink more Coke" or "This place for rent".

Think of the answers the detection would give....
Every UFO nut will say "Told you so", and abductions will become the new fashion.
DDoS attacks?
Server exploits (script kiddies or real crackers) ?
Black outs/powerloss ?
Server crash?
Network overload?
Trojans/virus/... ?
The data on my end?
And if I lose my end of the connection, can I still work?.NET seems to be an extensions to the AP scheme.
I did not belive in the NC (Network computer) and I will not buy into the.NET either.
Open source version of.NET made by RH/Ximian/... Why are they doing MS work for free?

Great copyright control. Won't the RIAA be happy now.

Well, it isn't. An OS turned to an entertainment center is a waste of efford.

easier to configure == more secure?
The firewall is probably as secure as W98 when it got out. But a good idea though.

The new game from MS?
Why all these guides, wizards and gueesing, when the user is idle for a moment (overstatement on my part I know). Afraid the user will think for themselves? No, let the OS decide I wanted to go to a sub dir, and not add a folder. I *might* had thought of going there. OS=Smart, User=Dumb. This will do wonders for the.NET plan, all users using the only OS at MS via the internet. Paranoides unite.
On the whole, I will stike with the W98SE. A wee bit more trustworthy.

If I see an ad for something, I simply make a mental note to never buy it.
Case in point: McD, haven't been there since 1991.
I use the RewriteEngine in Apache, add this to the httpd.conf file and restart the httpd service. Then all IE6+ are presented with the ie.html page :)
/error/ie.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^.*MSIE\ [6-9].*
RewriteRule ^/.*$
I have already banned IE6 and newer browsers from my site, just to show my no-support for MS.

No, he is going to FED them ;)
Yeah I know, stupid joke. Couldn't resist though.

Guess I will downgrade to my trusty old 28Kbaud modem, since it makes no difference
They should have called it WarGames.

You mean if it can not find a missile, it sends a really "warm" welcome to visitors?
Gee, thanks.
