Sounds nice in theory. However, I've just installed IE8 beta and visited http://www.crashie.com/ and guess what? The entire browser interface (including all other tabs) is hanging.
The article only talks about these new patches from the embedded devices point of view. So can anyone tell me if these new features would be useful for improving the responsiveness of media applications in Linux? I'm talking about video/audio playback, as well as authoring and recording.
What other benefits would the desktop see from this?
"There are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers" (Gates talking about intellecutal property laws/rights)
Anyone reading Slashdot for the first time could be forgiven for lumping together people who pirate music and films with those who support Free/Open Source software. But Bill Gates is bright enough to know the difference.
Most FOSS advocates respect others' intellecutal property, and rely on copyright law to make the GPL and other Open Source licences work. Most people who download pirated films and music off Kazaa and BitTorrent don't give a flip about IP or copyright, whatever excuse they give.

We interviewed one lucky winner, Mr. Smith. He said he'd never heard of this promotion and hadn't even bought a ticket for the musical. "Please just stop sending me this stuff, I can't even get in my house anymore!", he pleaded.
Hormel, in a statement, replied, "Although Mr. Smith did not actually buy a ticket, he did purchase a can of spam in 1972, thus establishing a business relationship with us. If he no longer wishes to receive his prize winnings, he may send us a letter at '123 Unsubscribe Avenue, Springfield, The World, The Universe'"
Has an awesome popup blocker... Not one POP Up gas gotten through.. Yet.
Great.. welcome to the 21st century.
Unfortuanately, now that the most widely used browser has a popup blocker it just means that all the advertisers will come up with either find a loophole in the blocker, or come up with some other form of highly annoying, intrusive advertising.
Of course when that happens, the rest of us will just update our Adblock filters while MS takes another 4 years to sort out the problem.

I can't wait to try it out! But are there any binaries to download? I can only seem to find the source code, and I don't have a compiler for Lawyer++.
More like:

Does this mean it will now take two days from the release of the first HD-DVD player for 'DeAACS' to appear online?
Or will this be the movie industry's dream DRM solution? Something so secure that you can't even watch it!

Dammit, and here I am paying $699 for *each* CPU! I feel like I'm being totally ripped off. Maybe I should ask SCO for a discount?

Isn't this like selling airbags as an optional extra with a car that is known to have defective brakes?
Also, if people can't even keep their system patches up to date why would they keep their virus scanners up to date??
When I press it for more than 1 second, the radio tunes me
But only when you're in Soviet Russia, right?
Linx? Uniux? Those aren't operating systems. You're just making this up now!
According to the graph, kernel 2.6.3 is about 50% more shit than previous versions...
And I heard it was quite good!
They now appear to have removed the reference to e-mail.
It now reads: "....bringing down its website with a barrage of data sent from countless computers...."
I don't think they've changed anything else though.
maybe they should port IE/mac over to Windows :) It would save them all this trouble with patching the buggy old Windows version.
