The white paper may predict sales by the "Microsoft ecosystem" of over $40 billion in six of Europe's biggest economies, but what this figure hides is the fact that income for Microsoft and its chums is a cost for the rest of Europe
Wow, imagine that. For a company to make money, it costs consumers money. Thank goodness we have guys like this to point out these secrets of the Economy.
Ok now on a more serious note, he could of been a bit more objective by not flinging the Anti-M$ FUD back the other way.
This build (5728) has a number of improvements and updates from RC1, but has not been put through the same internal testing process as RC1 and therefore may be unstable in certain installations.

Not all of the outgoing Gmail servers are on the list. Just a couple. Course I do find it annoying when my mail get's sent through one, but am I worrying? Not really.
For example when you tell them that they blacklisted your IP address and you can vouche that you don't spam, but they won't do anything because you belong to a/16 where somewhere sombody is spamming. blacklisting might be a good idea, but organizations like spamhaus make it bad in practice.
Complain to people who use the list, not the people making the list.
Its all stupid. You see them release "controlled" video's onto youtube and other blogsites when they are promoting a movie/song but if its something that wasn't thought of by them they suddenly want to sue the pants off everyone.
You can't have it both ways.
Yea you can. They own the copyright for it, they can control how it's distributed. If they want $foo to go on YouTube they can do that. If they dont want $bar to get put on YouTube, that's their choice too.
Wow, no wonder you stopped quoting when you did, let me finish it for you:

The sad fact is that despite this administration's incompetence on everything from Iraq to Katrina, it is still going to be a tight race.
Woah woah woah. Sure I'll let you blame Iraq on the Administration, but Katrina lies solely on the feet of Nagin, about the most worthless mayor that side of the mississippi.

Thank god they can't find out who I am based on my payment details . . . oh . . wait.
Has anyone found any independently verified evidence of any of these digital voting devices used in an election won by a Democrat?
Show me some independently verified evidence of Republicans defrauding the actual vote. Saying "BUT OMG TEH REPUBLICANS WANTED TEH MACHINES!" doesn't cut it.
How does a mixture of Borohydride(not pure hydrogen) and Water(which is already only 2/3 hy drogen) end up being more hydrogen than Liquid Hydrogen? Isn't Liquid Hydrogen pure hydrogen?
They're saying there's more Hydrogen in the mixture per unit volume then pure hydrogen. So I'm guessing (most likely incorrectly) that their substance has a higher density then liquid hydrogen. Higher density => More 'Stuff' per volume => More Hydrogen.

Thank you, come again.
What the fuck does a web proxy and mortage 'trick's have to do with the story? Put that shit in your sig.

Steps to recreate this 'amazing' feat:
1) Install Debian
2) apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
3) Profit!

Yes it does. (From your own link). Languages evolve.

I thought Earthlink Engineers were so amazingly intelligent that they said that their Dead DNS would only affect Web traffic.
Oh wait, no they're not. They *still* dont get what's wrong with what they're doing.

News for Democrats, Stuff that probably isn't true.

I'm not disputing that, I'm saying Water is rarely solid at 'room temperature'.

Water, on the other hand, is solid and fairly dense at room temperature.
Can anyone spot-check this for sanity?
I dont know about you, but room temperature around here is a bit more then 0C, so 'round here our water is in it's liquid form at room temperature.
How does a mixture of Borohydride(not pure hydrogen) and Water(which is already only 2/3 hy

Course I could be wrong.
This is actually an incredibly simple idea, but a really useful one when considering a new camera to buy.
So if everybody started using Ford Pinto's you should too? Dont mistake most common with best, much less best for you.
