If you have enough to buy anything you want without having to extend credit, then that is enough money. Microsoft will never have to worry about running out of money since they have that $60 billion in the bank, so they can pour money into holes until it fills up and starts a profit (ie Xbox)
To a true capitalist, there is never enough money, and I'm fine with that.
When did Capcom get the job of naming new standards?
(to ruin the joke for clueless moderators: Capcom didn't learn how to count to three for a long time with Street Fighter. Street Fighter, Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 2 Championship, SF2 Turbo, SF2 Super, SF2 Hyper, et al)
Back before Thunderbird and Firefox had installer programs, I would actually create installers using NSIS to distribute it to my less than tech savvy friends. It even came with uninstall capabilities. It's pretty sweet.
The US government is run by the citizens of the United States of America. What the government own, is collectively owned by the citizens of the USA. Fine if you want to give up your rights, but screw you if you try to give up mine
Look at how Government operates. The representatives are elected, and they make all of the decisions. You have no direct input on what any individual representative votes for, or what the government does. The only thing you can do is vote someone out of office the next time an election occurs.
I've accepted this as a realistic view of life in America. Would I live anywhere else? No sir. Is America perfect? No sir. Better than the alternatives? Yes sir.
The Indian reservations are self-governed, at least to the best of my knowledge. Embassy land is granted to the country and is considered an extension of their borders.
and since the people in general *own* the government.... well, you do the math
No offense, but go back to basic civics.
The government is not "owned" by the people. The representatives in government are elected by the populace, all save the President, who is elected by the Electoral College, and only the Electoral College (the popular vote, in the long run, means dick in the Presidential election).
The government owns its own property, the government owns its own buildings. I'm sure that in a communal sense, sure, since our tax dollars paid for it, we may own some small part of it, but effectively? No.
There's no such thing as "public land" -- the government owns every single bit of land in the country that's not owned privately (and even then -- there's property tax)
It also doesn't matter if the DOD name was on it or not, it doesn't belong to you, so why take it? Basic theft.
The SEC oversees all companies that trade "shares" for investment. If I had given Google one million dollars in 2000, in exchange for a certain number of "shares" in the company, then I would become a "shareholder" even if they never IPO'd. I would have a vested interest in Google's future and profit margin, even though I have no employment there.
Once you hit a certain plateau of shareholders (and profits), then you must behave like a public company in order to prevent fraud.
In regards to A), update.exe and slipstreaming provides this. My current Win2k install disk has all updates as of the most recent, along with a goodie bag of applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, Filezilla, etc etc etc)
Why dedicate time (and presumably money) to continue the lock-in Microsoft Office and similar apps have in the workplace, rather than dedicating that time to make existing F/OSS software better, thereby removing the lock?
Slashdot Mirror
Have you never heard of Real Alternative?
It's all the rage with the kids these days, I hear.
That's because Bleem was a sub-standard product that rarely, if ever, worked.
WineX actually functions as intended.
eBay gives you the option.
CheckFree gives you the option.
A lot of sites have optional Passport logins.
It's far from a flop, but it's just as far from the raging success Microsoft hoped for.
There is an extension called "QuickNotes" for thunderbird and firefox. Configured properly, it crosses over.
Tab browser extensions is compatible, if you get the latest version from the author's site. Link for the lazy
It's been posted for a while now (at least since .8 was released) that Firefox .9 and Thunderbird .7 would require a new API for extensions and themes.
Most extensions for Firefox have been updated (check update.mozilla.org)

Firefox 0.9 fixes any speed issues it once had. I have to say this is the speediest browser I've ever used under Windows.
Uninstall the new version, and reinstall the old. Worked fine for me.

They approved me for one, listing my cell phone as a primary number.
YMMV I suppose.

CVCVCVCV has approximately.... 121,550,625 possible combinations. It's going to take some time to break that, even with a pattern.
You can view messages in Thunderbird the same way.

Oh man. That was funny.
Let me know when you get out in the real world and realize that humanity's second greatest motivator ever is greed, second only to sex.
I would say "sure" but GMail doesn't display or store email in the same way that other web based providers do.
You are currently using 1 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB
That's what it says at the bottom of my gmail inbox, at least. Not sure about anyone else.
