Imagine that. as soon as you try and dial up, winows will MAKE you -wether you like it or not- to sign up and get a passport. Talk about dictatorship.
Look dude, I don't know where those people got it from but seems to me they never did use Windows XP. I have Windows XP and it never prompted me for a passport account. This only occured when I chose to run Windows Messenger.
I'm confused, this paper is pure propaganda against Microsoft, whoever did it should be the one that gets sued for false info.
I'm a happy Windows and Linux user and I won't allow anyone to tell me which OS I have the right to use.
I remember using Telix and ProComm, nobody used HyperTerminal because it sucked. What's your point? If something that comes with the system sucks, people will get a better software.
Apple gives you enough to get you going, but leaves the best implementation for 3rd party developers
Is that why Apple have much less 3rd party developers ? Besides, QuickTime is far superior than any other 3rd party product.
I don't get it, how come the Russian government isn't protesting this guys arrest? They complain about lots of stuff that the US does, isn't this matter important enough?
why are you blaming MS. Remember the law suit from Sun? MS is required by law to drop Java support within 7 years and it's great because Java apps are real slow.
I remember the days where porn was easily available on the net (not to say that it probably still is). The laws came about and porn websites were required to verify your age (or should I be PC and say "do some verification"). In time such verification made the use of Credit cards and hey why not charge for the service in the process. That industry has certainly not shrunk, in fact it's grown exponentially.
There is no such law, what are you talking about?
okay, let's say you're right. Can you give me a decent website where I can quickly buy and download albums in mp3 format legally?
Since I'm too lazy I buy between 0 and 2 albums per year, but if I could buy from the internet and instantly download the album then I'll buy a lot more. Until then, the record industry has completely failed to satisfy my demands as a consumer. In short, the RIAA sux.
After all those years, all that time wasted in school and all those power hungry teachers it's nice to see that some of us grew up to take their revenge:)
When we least expected it, a new hero came to town and his name is Billy Gator
Damn, well I understand he did something wrong but I really don't see how it could cost them $0.59/sec and 15 years in jail? Drug trafficers, drunk drivers, child abusers, etc. don't even spend half of that time in prison.
I work for a desktop publishing company, KDE and GNOME unfortunately just won't cut it. Not much font support, printer compatibility problems, too complicated to use and the worst thing, no Adobe Software.

Wait a minute, I just bought Intuit Quicken and I already have Win XP, how come I never noticed those features in Windows XP?

Java, Netscape? Stop living in the past.

Maybe they're jealous?
I'm talking client side. I'm no Java programmer.
Ask yourself this question. Why so many other companies also chose NOT to become compliant?

Win2k isn't a consumer OS but WinXP is.
Because you need a new machine to run WinXP on. The old ones aren't fast enough. Isn't it that obvious or are you dumb?
first they censored Napster, then XP, what next?
Wake up, their's no such thing as freedom.

You wanna know why they deny it? Because love is blind and people around here love technology and science and choose to ignore it's flaws.
even MS says that you'll be able to use it. You can already use Python or Perl to create ASP apps.
will I get a reward, will I?

We'll be able to code MS .NET apps using Python and several other languages. Why will Mono support C# and not Python? Kinda ironic
I guess money is more important than human life.

You must be joking
Trust me, they would if they could. But it's just way too much trouble for them.
