Please tell me, is there any good reason for sticking to IE? I can't think of one. Most other browsers (e.g. firefox) are superior in each and every aspect (configuration, speed, usability, features!) to IE. And I haven't seen a website that doesn't work with gecko browsers in years.
because it takes like 2 and half hours from e.g. Amsterdam to drive to the next big german city, where a lot of people will be more than happy to sell mp3 players to angry dutch customers.
and: people will just buy them by mail order, because there is no customs check inside the EU.
in fact both of them buy their maps from tele atlas b.v. which is a dutch company. the collaboration info states that google is going to display a map24 link with their search results.
I'm using the VoIP provider Sipgate for 2 month now almost exclusively for all non-mobile fone calls. It works like a charm and is dirt cheap. With the fritz!box fon i can even use my old analog fon which really is very comfortable. It's so simple that even my mother in law uses VoIP in her home. I'm urging every i know to switch to VoIP.
in most european countries you can choose:
take wifes name
take grooms name
take wife+grooms name for groom, wife keeps her maiden name
take wife+grooms name for wife, groom keeps his name
both take wife+grooms name

this is obviously fake ... slashdot editors do your homework.

they call these guys "customers" over in redmond ...
it will be possible to deploy firefox in organizations via an .msi in one of the next versions. See here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.5_Institutional_ Deployment
