the reason people complain about integrating ie 4 is because it's a hog. windows 98 would be faster and more stable (well, as fast and as stable as windoze gets...) if it didn't have that piece tacked to it. why do they do it? well, one reason is to stifle any competition in the marketplace (it's amazing how in this day and age this monopoly has lasted so long...bill gates is no different from the robber barons from the turn of the century). why do they keep producing bloatware? cause it sells. it sells more computers. got to keep the masses buying a new computer every year and a half so they pay their microsoft tax.
you know what i like about linux? when it comes down to it, it's just a kernel. most things that i don't want, i can do away with. you can still have a perfectly useable system on an old 486. you're not stuck upgrading every two years. that is the beauty of linux. anything that doesn't allow me to remove pieces i don't use blows. claming it's part of the os is even worse. screw microsloth! that's my opinion. does that make me arrogant? hell no. i have only have to have what i use. i can throw out the rest. hell yeah! live free or die.

count yourself among the lucky ones. i'm forced into using windoze even for my cs classes cause we're learning java with visual j++ on NiceTry boxes.
btw, if anyone knows of a really good robust ide for java that runs in linux i will happily abandon the p75 i have running windows in the corner. emacs doesn't count =).

microsoft *is* the car manufacturer making the memory hogging monsters for more than a decade.
cs @purdue is difficult. i know this, since i'm there (sort of. you see, i'm math with cs option right now. that's going to change :))
oh, it changes with college. except it usually changes to "let's give the student so much work he/she can't possibly pass the class"
hmm, you probably go to purdue calumet. if you dont, well that sounds exactly like cis at purdue calumet.

1.
if america was cut up into 20 different countries with most having their own language, americans would generally speak more than one language.
2.
no matter what language you pick, there are many naitive speakers who don't use it properly.
but you're suprised to find out it's much more tender and palatable than the cooked stuff.
and now because of all this sushi talk I have to go to one of the japanese places across the river for dinner.
thanks.

actually, there is such a thing as "american english." you can even by a style book for it, although it's pretty useless unless you're a journalist.
