Why not try downloading the LARGE zip version - I have it download at 400kb/s (not really trying to brag - just noting that the site is OK just too many trying to get the full screen version?!?)
Well, actually most cars manf. do claim certain milage in the city, and in the country. Plus if you keep your car tuned (read have a good heat sink/fan) and you don't race at the lights (read try and run unnecessary applications when CPU cycles are needed) then you will get the claimed milage.
Is Ford/GM/Nissan/BMW/Mercedes...et al... wrong to include airbags and ABS because (say) 99.9% of drivers don't crash?
If AMD turned around tomorrow and announced a u-beaut overheating handling CPU thingy, how many would jump on AMD for deception?
What is even more interesting is that our LINUX friends have failed to notice the clear choice to terminate the APPLICATION - i.e. the operating system has not crashed - an application has (and it has NOT brought down the OS as the a popular misconception.)
What is this fascination with not having rebooted the OS for months - would it not be more environmentally friendly to shut your machines down once in awhile and go outside and smell the flowers and listens to the birds, play with your kids/parents take your SO out for a picnic.
The real issue about the US eccletic electrol system is that they/we (as a expat US living in Australia) are paranoid that the Communist will take over. Therefore by having such a crazy mismash of voting systems would make it impossible to actually take full control of the country.
As Nethacker of some 14-15 years I have recently shown it to my 4yo.
After the first time he would come to me and ask me to teach him more - so that he could teach his kids! (when he grows up)
Later he ask me what he needs to do to be a game programmer. I told him to continue his learning to read and maths, and he would definately have to learn to color in with out scribbling and going outside the line (this actually was something he raised as a problem he wished to overcome).
After that he said he wanted to be a garbage man. (no disrespect).
I feel that this game is better than POKEMON because there is *NO* marketing of Toys and "Action" Figures.
Must be addictive to create that kind of response from a 4 yo.!
Furthermore, those same people who never heard of deCSS - and that you can run this on LINUX - a free operating system, this must surely make them think about spending $$$$ to M$ etc... WOW if this could actually snowball....
I think I should go home now - 8 hrs and thats the best that can come out of my head????
I don't think that the owner and user of the machine having Admin rights over the machine can be classified as a bug. It is a model and one that works well with the MASSES.
Remember, generally speaking, decisions like: should we allow users to *spawn/execute* attachments and should this be the default setting, where made by the technical/development team. I am sure that the marketing team really gives a *hit about such matters.
So if Microsoft got it wrong - it was the development team that got it wrong - not specifically Bill Gates.
That's all I have to say.

P.S. I consider MS has too much control over my marketable skill set.
SO I guess if Microsoft where to release a patch (re-design) for Outlook that would be the responsible thing to do. Note also that when a car explodes it doesn't usually replicate 1,000,000,000 all over the world instantaneously. Because 'Tim Taylor' manages to destroy a house does that mean that Binfords should be held responsible? Just a few thoughts Cheers Zonnald
Let's See, Microsoft new about the loop hole and create at patch? So why didn't they use the loop hole - send an email with the patch and a script which would automatically open, run the patch and restart Outlook - Bob's you uncle, and it would be fixed. (for registered users - so if you didn't regester what happens?) Anyway just a curious thought. Cheers Zonnald

You could be talking about GMH or Ford.
Doesn't the statement....

Do Civil engineers utilize CAD machines and other Software to assist them in their designing?
Hope they are willing to trust the code monkeys that save them all that time and money.
OK so maybe the Code monkeys had engineering degrees before they embarked on writing such software.

Also generally someone(a) is going to be pissed when their enemy(b) is supported, therefore
generally someone(b) is going to be pissed when their enemy(a) is supported.
So US support of anyone WILL piss someone else off - get overit - it is NOT our fault.
Cheers!
Further more... 7 is prime therefore the odd theory holds. But wait 9 isn't prime, but 11 and 13 are... therefore ...
9 isn't really an odd number!
Because it is their children that will be paying taxes to pay for your social security / pension in your retirement - why should they do that?
And this is different to microsofts obligation to its shareholders and customers how?

Actually, Australia 1975 the G-G did dissolve the Government of Gough Whitlam. Many believe it was all the work of the CIA ( as you would ).
