Perhaps another distinguishing characteristic of a drone (vs a V1) might be that a drone returns to a "base" and lands (or is otherwise recovered) to complete its mission.
How do you do that? The timing I mean. And your user number means you joined like what, yesterday? Props for being a master of the first post so quickly.
I have to guess you were trolling, right. I get it. Funny.
The succinct, and overloaded words you have chosen in composing your sound advice, make me think of the juice that oozes out when you squeeze a Microsoft marketing executive's head just a little too tight in a vice or somesuch head juice extracting gizmo.
I am confused to how your post makes me feel. If you got paid for it, I wonder how much, and buy whom? Do you need to shower after work? Plus like hey good for you. And of course, can I get in on the action? If you didn't get paid I'm thinking it's gotta be like a joke, right, ironic and hip, yeah I get it, I think. Otherwise I can really only think what the eff, really could anyone really give that much of damn about promoting Exchange (or anything really) to go to that much effort just because they make you happy you are with their service?
Please forgive me if I just didn't get it, sometimes that happens.
Overall, it's got a nice beat and I like to dance to it. I give it a 5.

Will someone declare they have the unalienable right to Must See TV?.
Please correct me if I am mistaken, but is there not legislation in the U.S. that makes it a right to freely receive television signals that are broadcast over the air with an antenna? (The radio spectrum is a shared public resource).
I think that the article is an accurate summery of the situation at the time. I'm sure the situation has changed. I think you are correct with respect to the technical details (I have no knowledge to the contrary), however the historical details are that Microsoft suggested to the court, that using Windows without Internet Explorer was not possible.
I'm not suggesting that this article represents the totality of the situation, then or now. But, yes, I do think that what the article says happened, did actually happen.
I'm going to go with "yes". If I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.
A brief article from.... 1998. How much of it do you think is still correct?
For that matter, how much of it was true even back then? The lawyers can argue all they want, but the fact that IE has a modular engine is well-documented on MSDN, and anyone who actually dealt with it for embedding etc knows it for a fact. Admittedly, I don't know if mshtml.dll and shdocvw.dll was around in 1998, but it was certainly there by the time of IE6. I believe it was IE4 that actually introduced a proper separation complete with a public, documented API for the hostable browser control.
I don't see anything in the article pertaining to default browser or ShellExecute. Again, you can just go read the docs for it, or even try it for yourself on a Win95 install in a VM, and see what browser it launches. Or you can trust me that it works the way I've described, and that it was introduced in WinNT 3.1 (i.e. even before Win95).
They'll probably ending up doing some hippy shit with the money like spending it on health care or something. What's up with that?
I am by far not a Microsoft fan boy. I am probably closer to a linux fan boy (especially now that I can play FTL on my linux machine). Unless the EU is giving all this money to the people of Europe, the people of Europe should be pissed. There is no this doesn't translate into higher costs or lower product quality for users. Almost everybody knows how to get their own web browser, or their hacker grandson has done it for them. This idea that having the default web browser bestows some special power to monopolize the internet is retarded.
Might I suggest the possibility that this goes back to Microsoft influencing OEM's to not bundle third party browsers with their systems. I further wonder if Internet Explorer was intertwined with the operating system in such a manner that one either couldn't, or were led to believe one couldn't download a third party browser, remove (Internet) Explorer, and still have a usable system. (Among other anti-competitive practices, i.e./re:: OS/2, DR-DOS, Wordperfect, Netscape, and more efficient API calls provided only internally for Microsoft application development, etc.) Microsoft did have a fairly substantial monopoly position for consumer level desktop operating systems (and they appeared to abuse their market position).
I'm not trying to pick a fight with anybody, and it may not have happened that way, I'm just saying that's how I remember it. It was a big deal.
This behaviour wasn't recent, it's the path that Microsoft chose quite some time ago, the current situation is just further along that same path.
But I'm not very smart, and I have a poor memory sometimes.
Bingo. You can only buy apps THEY approve through THEIR store and effectively they won't allow third-party apps on their device at all without they get a cut.
It's WAY more anticompetitive than anything Microsoft has done recently. These days, Microsoft seems like the good guys. So what if competitor browsers don't come preconfigured? It takes a couple of minutes to download and install Firefox of Chrome or Safari or whatever other browser you want and set it up as the default browser on your system. Then you need never think about Internet Explorer again. Boo hoo.
When is Europe -- or the FTC -- going after Apple for creating a private, you-can't-work-around-it-without-modifying-your-system-software store for their devices?
Right. And now the Metric system itself is from the US? Who writes this stuff.
Do you really expect that most American will accept the metric system if it is somewhat unamerican? I don't mind it been presented as an american invention if it can help bring the US in the 20th century.
Also, I suspect this is exactly the idea behind this article. So shut up about it, and let this US metric system get root.
Once you convert over to metric, it's the 21st century.

The summary is unreadable? I hadn't noticed.

The law be damned. I'd rather see Microsoft leave Europe than to cow-tow to these basterds.
If you think MS is not doing anything anti-monopoly, I'd like to remind you of the UEFI BIOS issue.
What issue? OSX also uses UEFI. So there's no monopoly there. That the OSS community don't like UEFI does not make it a monopoly issue.

It's not your time so you don't get to judge whether it's wasted or not.
It's not your judgement so you don't get to judge whether it's allowed or not. You were doing fine until there, though.
All of that doesn't apply to either SC or TT. In those games, you simply build until you don't feel like building anymore.
As an observation, that sounds to me like an apt description of Minecraft, which as I understand it is often referred tp as a game.
The rounded corners, they do nothing!
