I do, however, feel that having a fully-complaint website should be about more than just cost savings.
Considering the amount of bitching that goes on here, I'd say that Slashdot is mostly-complaint, but will likely never make it to fully-complaint outside of SCO/MPAA/RIAA/Microsoft articles.
"Buy from *Crazy Billy*!!! If you don't come on down in the next hour to buy an Operating System, I'm gonna club this baby seal! That's right. I'll club a seal to make a deal!! Because I'm CRRRRRRAAAAAAZZZZZYYYYYY!!"
Plastic BBs? Wuss. In my day, we had brass and steel (that's metal, kids) BBs fired from airguns pumped 50+ times. Ever had to dig one of those fuckers out of yourself with a knife before your Mom saw it? Didn't think so.
working around the clock on a newly branded moire of death which they feel will be just as impactful as the origional blue screen but with a friendlier look and feel.
OK, how's this: Mozilla passed off URL's using protocols it didn't support to the OS. In this case, it was 'shell:'. Windows XP then blindly ran whatever the target of that URL was.
It sounded very similar to a webchat I sat in on about the successor to SMS 2.0. There was an introduction to new features, but actual improvements to things that performed at less-than-acceptable levels were brushed off. Example:
Several people (incl me) asked about the performance of Remote Tools on Windows NT4/2000. The remote control aspect was dog slow on those systems (click and have a smoke). The answer they gave was to upgrade to Windows XP and use Remote Desktop/Assistance, since Microsoft wasn't going to improve tools for working with prior versions of Windows.
Lots of market-speak, and not-so-subtle hustling to send more money.

That domain doesn't seem to exist. Got another site for info? Sounds like a good reason for a road trip to me!
What's in YOUR basement?
Sounds like he's never browsed for pr0n. There are any number of computers used daily to simulate some VERY interesting ideas.
So does Enemy Territory: Stealing someone's pants gives you their entire outfit.
Well, since Micro$hit is right out, I propose we all straighten up, start using MicroShit and win back our credibility!

Not to mention what it does to the other end.
Damn straight. A ham sandwich is NOT exciting. Case in point:
Jim: "What's third base feel like?"
Oz: "Like warm ham sandwich."
It's not exciting, and it makes no sense, either!

Here's a screenie from the public Alpha trial version.
Whoops, my bad. I meant "Elder Things".
One of the Great Old Ones, perhaps. Didn't they live down in that area?
He wishes! Dumpster brand trash bins are top of the line. Poor Bill will likely be stuck with a Trashco waste-disposal unit.
Of course, it depends on where you work.
Parent: Microsoft suffers from the same problem - there's just no market for their buggy products anymore.
Well, put these together and they have a vast untapped market for their Force-Feedback Sidewinder joystick.
Step 1: Check to see if it's on fire.

I know this.
Space dust? Really? Here is what I heard.
Actually, it passed off protocols (shell: in this instance) it didn't recognize to the OS and let the OS deal with it as it saw fit.
Maybe they'll find Hoffa!
