So what you are saying is that all of the billions of tons of crap that humanity has dumped into the air and waters in the last 100 years has had no effect on the environment or weather?
In fact, I can think of very few companies I would trust with all of my medical information other than Google. You must be 20-something to make a statement that naive.
Please note that Queerbek is not really part of Canada, eh? They are a separate and distinct culture and society stuck between Ontario and the Maritime provinces, eh?
The US has no censorship laws Just try to say something against the brain fuckery known as The Church Of Scientology - see how long before their lawyers bend you over a couch...
single-threaded architecture running on a JavaScript+XML interpreter (XULRunner) That is Firefox's #1 design flaw. Yeah, sure you can bodge stuff up quickly, but you pay dearly in every other regard. At least they didn't write the core in Java.
...to win an electronic war with China... To win an electronic, heck any kind of war, all China has to do is to stop shipping electronic and any other goods to the US. After all, that is were all of the stuff comes from these days. Not to mention that most of the corporates have either sold or licensed almost all intellectual property to China in one form or another. Talk about giving a potential enemy all of the sticks they need to beat you over the head with.
I keep telling you guys to practice your "Heil Bush!". Yet I keep getting mocked and voted/modded down. One of these days I'll be going "I told you so!".
succeeding In the Microsoft Universe the use of "succeeding" means removing previous good products from sale and shoving dubious "new" products down everybody's throats. See Vista vs. XP and Office 2007 vs. Office 2003.
Make a good operating system That would require smart, intelligent people to implement, i.e. engineer types, not a bunch of gibbering MBA twits.
Office 2007... it's a great product I've been using Office from the olden days when Word and Excel where standalone products. I hate the new version. Biggest fuster cluck being that Outlook uses Word to render HTML emails. At least in Office 2003 you could turn that idiocy off.
After the most recent MythBusters episode, the TSA needs to ban pens and any other small objects that can hold powder. After all, we saw what a plain pen holding 3 cc of explosives can do to a styrofoam dummy.
Microsoft can't say that they are going to extend XP support based on a petition. This would be an admission that Vista is a pile of poop. They have to save face and spout brain-dead corporate marketing nonsense. Welcome to the modern, corporate, world.
Except that when you turn Aero off, and all the other eye candy, Vista looks worse than XP. They spent all that time and effort on the bling and forgot to make it look good when bling free. Last month when I was rebuilding my main work machine, I had a choice between XP and Vista. So I installed Vista on a test machine and proceeded to install all the tools that I need. Some of them didn't work right and one caused Vista to keep on trying to Windows update.NET 1.1 SP1 in an endless loop. I then installed XP on the same machine and installed the same tools. They all worked fine. And the XP install felt snappier and more responsive. So now I'm back on XP and have relegated Vista to the "Another Pile of Poop from Microsoft" heap.
It's a numbers game. If they have 10,000 people signed up, then they make $10,000 per person per GB. If everyone transfers 5GB a month, then they get $50,000. Last time I checked it cost $10,000 a month for a fully used 100 Mbps pipe at a Tier 1 data center facility.

You Microsoft [expletives deleted].
Try running Vista Business on a 2.4 GHz P4 with 512MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive.
Now run XP on the exact same hardware. XP runs better and faster.
You people failed. You fraked up. You screwed up. Idjits.
We, the computing public absolutely do NOT want Vista. We want our XP back.
Or, like Google, use revenue from one aspect of your activities to finance giving away all of your other stuff for free.

Are you really that ignorant and stupid?
...the progress of Intelligent Design to Idiocracy continues...
We can also rule out a frozen chicken up one of the intake ports.

I have a question for you and the thousands of other Office 2007 beta testers:
Why didn't you tell the 'tards at Microsoft that using Word to render the HTML in Outlook was one of the stupidest things that they have ever done?
In The Rest Of The World, "In Soviet Russia" jokes are getting Extremely Olde.
