I think the idea is that the application that writes to the temp directory is supposed to remove it when it doesn't need it any more.
This has mostly been my experience with software written by Microsoft. Especially annoying when such software crashes before the file is release/deleted and then can't recreate the file next time you run it. (VB6).
"Hey, Colin, check out my new 'Start, Run, CMD, Enter'" (wtf)
"Oh, I like Format C, Colin." (turns to the doorway where Bob has just arrived) 'Enter, Yes, Bob'.
Really it would seem a little bit more complicated then just throwing (or Squirting (tm)) a random phrase at the computer. I would imagine that the application with focus has to be able to interpret the phrase.
Perhaps you should have RTFA and you would have noticed the the author referred to it as having existed in UNIX?

The opinion you suggest can explain differences between two bodies, but not necessarily with the same body over time. This new theory relates to the output of the sun and how it effects the one body - Earth. I would like to see an investigation of how the temperature of Venus or Mars fluctuates as a result of this cycle. Although that is still a pretty hard study as observations are a little bit restricted to the here and now.

So for 400 desktops you would be suggesting $4545.00 per machine to make up your millions. (BTW 1 off perpetual license for same was $240.00 AUD).
Rather than fluff it off on my being a Fan Boy, you might be better off getting your IT purchasing people to look a bit harder at options. You still haven't explained the suggestion of millions. All I was trying to suggest was that if you are spending millions you must be buying a very high volume of licences.
I also don't suggest that Education pricing is equal to business pricing, but I don't think we are expecting 70x the price compared to a Education licence either.
I am wondering what they are paying Redmond millions for. Last time I checked a Volume license to use just about every Microsoft desktop product was ~ 1/2iPod Nano ($70 AUS). This was annually, so, you are saying they have 28000 desktops? (assuming millions >= 2,000,000)
I one had a similar experience, though after a while, windows update recognized it for what it was and stopped giving me updates. So I did the right thing and purchased it Legally.
Yes, but back when Word just came out(1983) the competition (Word Perfect, 1982) used proprietary document formats, pretty much the standard practice of the day. Over the years each successive version remained compatible (some older ones dropped off I guess) with it's predecessors.
Interestingly the plans for GNU started around the same time (1983), but Linux and therefore ( I suggest) serious thought into open standards didn't begin till the 90's. (IANAH)
Now it appears that Office 2007 has attempted to use a standard document specification which has been approved by ECMA (Dec 2006), the Microsoft Office Open XML format is available under a free and perpetual license from Microsoft.
I guess the issue for MS is, that you and I (computer guru's) have picked up and embraced the XP paradigm but people like my wife never get it no matter how many times it is explained to her. So MS tried to move to another paradigm (am I using this properly?) to help more non-technical people understand how to find "basic" information.
1) 5 or 18 years, you should now which way is up.
2) Not demanding a salary - just a job. They are offering job X and salary Y, if I don't want salary Y I don't apply.
3) Job X, it doesn't ask for someone to come in and take over the project, then why try?
The reality of it is (in my version of reality); The job appears to be interesting, the pay looks alright. I've got a house to pay for and kids to educate. This is not a recipe for up and move on at the first (slightly) better opportunity that comes along. If they are making it this hard to get jobs when you are over 30 (let alone 40) then how can one expect to find and win such an opportunity?
My only "experience argument" is, why can't someone with more then 7 years experience expect to be considered for the employment they can do?
I saw a job ad yesterday that clearly stated that the application must have 2-6 years experience. Then went on to state "Candidates with 7 years or more of commercial IT experience are unlikely to be considered by this particular organisation". Knowing that 18 years experience was just a little over that, I opted not to try. I can imagine that they probably would have stated the reason for rejecting my application. (This was not advertised as a junior role). It seems a fairly disturbing trend that most IT jobs now insist on candidates having experience that would seem to preclude anyone over 30.
Did you read the comments made after the article, referring to exploitable bugs left unpatched for 16 months? It is really annoying for someone to be deriding Microsoft for leaving 285 days on a version of software soon to be replaced, when the browser they espouse can lay claim to 485 days on a known exploitable bug.
Please find out a little more about how polio IS being eradicated through out the world Here. Also note that the current outbreak in Nigeria is actually attributed to other then supposedly "evil" oil companies.
In 2003, several religious and traditional leaders were on the forefront of an oral polio vaccine boycott. Before medical experts managed to persuade suspicious residents that the vaccine was harmless, the boycott led to a polio outbreak that swept across Nigeria.

Check memory consumption (windows XP, currently FF consuming 37Mb)
Cntl-click on reply to this 21 times (giving 22 open tabs, 57Mb)
Open each tab, scroll on page.
Close each of 21 tabs (leaving 2, 45mb)
repeat (52mb)
repeat (58mb)
repeat (60mb)
Now I couldn't claim this as somehow exploitable, but it does highlight the behavior during browsing does have an effect on the memory usage. Especially when even a quality product has a memory leak.
I think I agree; It is are selfish nature that makes us want to embrace socialism. By embracing socialism, we ensure that we (our community) look after ourselves (individual).

Are these the actions of MS that you refer to?
Yea, but in mentioning Word '97, he is implying that it is almost compatible with ones from Ten years ago!
The Linux and Mac Programmers haven't written one yet.
I had that same problem running a store bought DVD (K-Mart 2 for 1 job) on windows XP. So maybe - just maybe, it is the DVD drive/decoder/video card?

It's called MSCONFIG.
You load it from the Run icon in the start menu. It doesn't cost $20 to donate.
This is the Microsoft System Configuration utility.
