However, my Windows Update agent aren't reporting anything, so it probably installed the fix some weeks ago.
Since most users don't have a firewall and don't use Windows Update, I wonder how many machines will be infected by Monday? Seriously now, it's getting old now. Good thing I'm using Linux now.
Yeah, I heard Linux is a great substitute for a firewall.
At least for the ex-Windows users who still have no idea what computer security is.:-P
No, I was a bit unclear about that. I meant "scripting" in quotes or "the equivalent of scripting in HTML pages". I also understand it like you have -- that it's XAML +.NET language for full fledged applications. My point was mostly just to question what's so scary when the only real easy thing to do is to create a static GUI. Hardly a threat for Linux IMHO.

Longhorn has kind of a scary technology called Avalon, which when compounded with another technology called XAML, it's fairly dangerous. And the reason is that they've made it so it's basically an HTML replacement. The advantage is it's probably as easy as writing HTML, so that means that anybody can produce this content with a text editor.
The main application code is supposed to be written in a.NET language like C# or VB.NET if I'm not mistaken. Yes, XAML apps are similar to HTML pages, but they, like HTML, also need a scripting part to actually do something and not just be static. And that's what e.g. C# is for.
We have the same situation here as in Canada (both regarding downloading and taxes), but it's pretty simple to get around the taxes. Just buy the CD's you need through a company (taxes are lifted) or buy from a country that doesn't have taxes. If you buy enough CD's at a time, the shipping charges become neglible.
No, not for that work, however IMHO it's all negated when they use others work without asking (while knowing the art wasn't made by them). Do we want these companies to shape what the Linux community looks like? At least I don't want to have them around. If they go, I'm sure others will take their place as contributors, hopefully this time with a better sense of morale.
The only reason most accepted the Lindows brand before was probably because a lot don't like Microsoft and find their Windows trademark silly. However, in essence, it was just as bad as if they'd called their distro "Tedora Core".
They've used dirty tactics when advertising their products, and they will probably do it over and over again. Yay...
Don't forget to look at its plugins either. If you're still looking to extend the functionality after that list, look here too.
It's not free (in either meaning), however it's one of those software packages I'm prepared to buy. And if you don't, you can at least still use 100% of its feature set for as long as you wish. There's just a nag dialog at startup.
-snip- it lacks the extra features of the original MP3.com, and it has a meager selection of barely 2,000 artists. The best part: their charts are literally random (songs are sorted by number of downloads, currently zero for all songs!). Smells like a hasty launch, perhaps rushed by last week's news that the original MP3.com archive (1.7 million songs) has been resurrected by another free MP3 download site, GarageBand.com."
*sigh*
Well, doh, the few days after opening, a site *will* have lots of "zero download" songs and -- surprise coming up -- maybe few artists too.
And since it's the moon looking like that, I guess my existing map is good enough. Doesn't really give that much by increasing the resolution of solid orange.:-)
It boggles the mind how anybody can accept anything as truth.
Yes, it seems to escape some people that we (yes, even scientists!) call it the big bang theory. Maybe some day that will sink into their minds.
There was a bright guy who said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind". I wish more people would agree about that, and keeping both eyes open instead of closing them. I'm more at the "science" side, but even I cannot rule out that there's something else. Right now I look at the bible as a fairy tale to enforce laws, raise childrens, etc, but who knows what I'll believe in when I'm on my death bed?
And yes, religion can provide peace, but I can tell you right away you will have none of it until you see for yourself and take that leap of faith.
Hmm... Seems like you're talking about "peace of mind" and the parent is talking about "peace of another group of people than you and me" (i.e. the people of Iraq).
And a change in US foreign policy is nothing without a driving force. Again, if you'd look at Christian teaching it would tell you that war is only justified when it is absolutely necessary for defending oneself from an imminent threat.
Like if you needed to be christian to be opposed to the war... I don't believe in a particular god, but is still strongly opposed to the war.
I don't see the internet as a TV replacement. It's just that it has grown to be that, among other things. Yes, it has been commercialized in some areas, but the huge amounts of free information that isn't designed to replace a TV program are still there and seems to continue to increase in the forseeable future.
Vader grabbed Leia in an "Imperial Class Star Destroyer"
... although that designation has been debated. See also this quote from Warships of the Empire:
Imperator-class star destroyer.
"The common mile-long Imperial star destroyer. Imperator, the first ship in its class, was built at the KDY shipyards at Gyndine for use in the Corellian sector fleet early in the reign of Emperor Palpatine. [Is Gyndine in or near the Corellian sector?] By the time of Palpatine's fall these ships were ubiquitous galaxy-wide as the stock destroyer vessel of Imperial Navy's territorial fleets, numbering no less than several tens of thousands of ships.
These vessels were also colloquially known as "Impstars" or "Imperial star destroyers", particularly among the forces of the Rebel Alliance and New Republic. (Of course all star destroyer designs of the Imperial Navy were "Imperial", just as the rebel Admiral Ackbar commanded Calamarian cruisers which nonetheless were not "Calamarian-class" star cruisers!)"
The older, smaller versions were called "Victory Class Star Destroyers" and were only a half kilometer long.
True:-)
The "Super Class Star Destroyer" you see plunging into the second death star in ROTJ is Vader's Capital ship and is close to 5 kilometers in length.
I'm not sure there is such a thing -- either a "Super Star Destroyer" (from computer games I think) or Executor-class Star Destroyers / Command Ships, from Vader's Executor in ROTJ.
Kinda like the oh-so-much rumored wavelets that I've yet to see materialize.
JPEG2000 uses wavelet compression and do look better than regular JPEG to me (for the same size of course). Only problem is that it's covered with patents.
So, wavelet formats have materialzed, but where are the open-source implementations? I want the Ogg equivalent for picture formats!

I remember there was tricks on the C64 to change several line numbers to be the same. Forgot how you did it though. :-(
:-)
Sort of like this:
1 PRINT "Hello"
1 PRINT "Cool huh?"
The original execution order was preserved too.
