Microsoft caught some Indian retailers selling pirated copies of Windows [CC] by sending in a dummy customer to ask for a copy of Windows to be installed on their PC.
Sounds like a typical Windows user. What's the big deal?
Remember dialing 999-xxxx on the payphnoes to make them ring back? We told my brother and his friends that the you could do that at home too by dialing '0' and saying, 'Call me back you fucking whore bitch,' then hanging up.
Phone rang off the wall until an adult got involved.
Like most computer makers, Dell switched nearly entirely to Vista-based systems following Microsoft's mainstream launch of the operating system in January.
No, the real kicker is that you guys are defending a kid who broke the law
ObMontyBurns: Thank God we live in a country so hysterical over profit that a child (who just happens to have a parent involved in a civil lawsuit that has no judgment yet) can be denied education and convicted of a crime without a warrant, probable cause, an arrest, charges filed or a day in court to be found guilty of breaking the law!
Kids stand outside in the winter cold and dark during Standard time too. K-5 and high school buses pick up before dawn from early November to April where I live. The whole "waiting in the dark" argument has as much basis in fact for Indianapolis as the "energy savings" argument does.

Dennis Fisher fails to grok.
True. Patch Tuesday will arrive when waiting is filled.
And he knows how to party!
I think what she's saying is that you Wookie boys are packin' too much meat.
I know it's not much, but if it makes you feel any better: I LOVED Madden 2006.
DOCSIS sync speeds for the various revisions, including the under-development 3.0.
Not to mention that he thinks that Slashdot 'editors' actually 'edit' in the commonly-defined sense of the word.
Do they plan to sell this on less capable machines...?
Yes. It says so right in the title: "Dell".
While initially no specifics are given, the thought seems to be than eventually the company will begin working with a retail chain.
I know all those words, but that statement makes no sense.
The same definition that killed BSD.
Mmmmm, compelling proposition there. Course, what they should have done is made sure that MS Office was subtly broken on XP.

I don't know whether, or how much, you'll see that bus bandwidth matter in the typical slashdotter workload (Internet porn).
There, fixed that for you.

What he said was true.... from a certain point of view.
Heh, "I'll Ro-sham-bow you for it"
You know when a Cub Scout becomes a Boy Scout?
When he eats his first Brownie!
