With one billion dollars, I could have the State of California get me enough Oracle licenses for my wife, my daughter and myself to connect to an Oracle database, and still have enough left over to to see a first-release movie at night.
1) IMHO the emphasis on Word97 is wrong. I originally tested this on Word2000 and it worked perfectly.
IMHO, the emphasis on Word97 is due to the fact that Microsoft is hinting that they won't fix that version, only 2000 and 2002, which also have the problem.
A lapse in security could result in someone on the street loading the master control program and thinking it's to ruin a few thousand high end processor chips.
That's easily fixed. Just load up TRON. He'll even watchdog the MCP too.
So the user in question didn't follow the procedure for either turning off the DRM protection...
This is Microsoft, remember. Who's to say that the DRM functions are really off, simply because they claim to be? How much do you trust them?
or backing up his licenses.
He still has the CDs, doesn't he? Assuming (big assumption) that it is acceptable for his computer to play Mommy-cop with him, just putting the CD in the drive should verify his "license".
I used to own Mickey Mouse Massage Parlors, then those Disney sleazebags shut me down. Look, I said, I'll change the logo, put Mickey's pants back on, but there's just no reasoning with some people.
Why? What's the point? Both are available at Windows Update, so that you can CHOOSE which you want. I'm not trying to troll here, but the guy who wrote the article obviously was. Hmmm, download several MBs of a Service Pack I don't need because I'm moving to the new version today, but the download time and a reboot can be used to deride what I want to deride. This is on top of what others point out, that this wasn't a Windows 2000 install, but rather a Sony Recovery procedure, including various apps.
Hey, Joe: Send me your Vaio, and I'll install Win2000 Pro and RedHat 7.3 on it, and the extra bits of hardware you want. I'll also apply the fixes to the OS and default applications, skipping the unneccesary ones. I'll time it, and send you the results.

...the alternative is to have MegaDrive, UltraDrive, ExtraHappyDrive, FuckingIncredibleDrive, etc
Well, I'm holding out for the CompuGlobalHyperMegaDrive.
Just a few:
- Angle the deflector shields.
These beg the question, "Where do they come up with this stuff?"With one billion dollars, I could have the State of California get me enough Oracle licenses for my wife, my daughter and myself to connect to an Oracle database, and still have enough left over to to see a first-release movie at night.
...new-age names like Donkey Kong-e, and Mario Brothers-e.
I can't wait for my personal favorites: Double-Dribble-e, Mike-e Tyson-e's Punch-Out!-e, and Duck-e Hunt-e.

How about, "One year lifespan should be long enough for anyone."
Wasn't she Boss Hogg's wife?
AC Power cord to wall outlet - 6. A true classic. Rated down because of childhood memories of annoying transition to 3-prong grounded outlets.
What about childhood memories of those damn, newfangled polarized plugs? Those were pretty hard to trim down to fit into tho outlet as a ten year old.
"We're going to revolutionize the way [laundry] is done on the Internet!"
Well, at least maybe that sock-puppet can find work now.
Besides, anyone smart has NETBIOS blocked at the firewall already, right?
Anybody that smart wouldn't be spewing out Code Red attacks in the first place.
Bushies and their ilk will stop blaming everything on Clinton!
He's blaming forest fires on Clinton? I thought Dubya was blaming trees that he wants to cut down.
Is Rendermonkey a predecessor to Renderman? Is Renderneanderthal out there?
It's a bowling ball! Didn't anyone else spot the finger-holes?
And does it move? Or has progress killed it off, just like the barber poles here?

Things won't get really interesting until we clone a Neanderthal.
Hopefully, they'll clone him a nice, sexy cave nug so he won't get lonely, bud......dy.
Ban those whining, crying babies, those are more annoying.
Solution: Check the theater for baseball players BEFORE buying a ticket.

Now those "Would you eat me if I talked?" Greenpeace ads will actually be reality. Goodbye Big Mac
Huh? Big Macs don't talk. They are made from dead cows, which would no longer be talking by the time it was made into a Big Mac. Yes, I would eat it.
Perhaps this is Microsoft's Waterloo?
but you can install IE5.5 without installing IE5.01 first, so why do what he did and waste the time installing IE5.01 first?
Precisely.

I could slaughter the villagers and read my email without rebooting. Gotta make sure I don't get that backwards.
Yeah, it would suck to reboot and read your email without slaughtering innocent villagers.
