Yes you are right,/. gets it wrong again. Realnames sucks but they are correct when they say MS is killing them off. they cant exist without MS and MS dont want to not have control of what Realnames was doing.
MS are going to do the same thing but they'll have control this time. This was virtually admitted in the minutes of the last meeting teare had with MS. the mintues were availble on teare's site but have been pulled in the last day or so.
actually i think Bill only makes somethings like $ 30000 a year from his MS salary. of course he sells a couple of billion in shares too, but thats not from clockable time.
5/6 minutes?! if thats the case then your pc is very badly configured.
if you dont leave your pc on all the time then you should - they are designed for that. if your booting into another os then i suggest you use an os that allows you to do all you want to do on it.
isnt it strange how linux users claim linux is the most stable os, but at the same time are forever booting into windows? linux may be stable but its users arent.
why is it that when people say "drop out of popular culture" they mean "listen to beethoven".
There is a huge amount of real guitar based music being made out there that is out of the mainstream but never the less excellent.
Some of it owes its existance to file sharing and the internet in general, but most of it has always been there and always will be. you just have to want to find it.
you're stupid if you dont realise that your information is crap.
"Society is safer when the crooks don't know who's armed"
you mean to tell me you feel safer in the US than in Britain? yeah right. ok, i understand, you're refering specifically to taking over a plane here, but thats not what the statement is referring to.
i never even mentiontioned that it dropped information, merely the time taken to find info. Clearly you dont have the time. after two+ years of hype freenet is still not much more than vapourware that doesnt install on w2k and that nobody uses.
It forgets unpopular information - off topic

This concept alone makes freenet a complete paradox in itself, and largely a waste of time. underground information which would benefit from a freenet type system is rarely popular, other than maybe some forms of extreme porn. instead freenet is going to be a system were conformity is rewarded -> if we all view the same information it works really well, otherwise be prepared to wait.
I have to agree totally. Americans just cant understand/conceptualise something unless it pertains to themselves. The top 3/4 posts according to score on this story back me up on that point.
that's why americans cant understand or appreciate japanese culture.
Wow you know what BASIC stands for, how novel! See my other reply too, but basically just because Sun says Java is positioned for wide realease doesnt make it so. in fact Java is VB's biggest rival, because it's easy to code in and like VB the apps dfeveloped with both will not need to stand up to high stress. Java is a great RAD tool!
I agree with you about the matuirty issue but i plan on being retired in 10 years time.
Geez talk about spouting the party line!
It's not my problem if you dont understand that standardisation will help your business.
Just because Sun say something doesn't mean that that is the way it is ("a key part of Sun's idea that " the network is the computer""). The reason for people using a product in practice is often not the same as the reason for creating the product in the first place.
You just have to spend a few days hanging round the Java forums to realise that 75% of the people developing with Java are
1. inhouse
2. developing small apps for departmental / specific use (ie non generalised software) where the computing structure is homogenous, even if it is not across the entire organisation.
You guys are all right of course! What I meant to say was that while cross-platform is an important aspect of developing commercial software it's not so important in an inhouse (corporate) environment, where software generally has a (relatively) tiny audience and a specific platform. And unfortuantely this is exactly where Java is positioned, for inhouse dev. most commercial dev is done using c++.
I have always felt that Sun got it so wrong when they decided that developers wanted to be able to develop cross-platform, when in truth very few developers find this an advantage. I love to code with Java because its a very powerful and superably elegant language not because its cross platform. Having said that xml is also a superb technology and very elegant too.

why is there no "dumb" or "poser" moderation option?
>Thanks to it's mineral riches, it's one of the >few countries in Africa
actually much of western africa has large mineral wealth (Angola, DRC, Nigeria).
these minerals (esp diamonds) only fuel wars, they do not bring prosperity.

doh! like you would use a valid email address, that would be smart. it only takes a few minutes to create a hotmail address.
