what the hell are you talking about?
individual LT readers going to a site and voting is completely legitimate.
writing bots that mass-vote or MSNBC themselves going in and doing a quick database SQL UPDATE is most definitely not!
yeah, and when you read that *IN CONTEXT*, the one thing he doesn't like about these "products" are THE PLATFORM THEY RUN ON... ehhhh windows, if you needed a clue...
pete, one thing you have to keep in mind is that nautilus is *modular*... it's not "integrated" and unremovable as microsoft claims IE is, for one thing. it uses a plugin architecture, so i'm sure you can replace what does the web page rendering and such.
as far as i know, you can't do that with IE...
also, according to the much publicized antitrust trial, microsoft is a monopoly. and thus has to play by different rules.

or maybe it's opened the door for other companies to make changes to quake (like a partial or full mod) and sell it (with the source). i mean, why not?
believe it or not, but programmers ARE NOT A MAJORITY of the population. not everyone is going to have the inclination or ability to use the source code.
so, why can't these companies make a better version of their game with the quake engine, as opposed to relying on wolf3d technology?
the post you're replying to asked what the menu key is for... not the win key. the menu key is the one on the right side of the keyboard between the win key and the control key, and is pretty useless.
ha! i just pictured that Simpsons takeoff of "phantasia", when itchy(? -- the cat) chops up scratchy(? -- the mouse)... who then, in turn, becomes a bunch of little evil scratchies...
however, you gotta remember it's an entire office suite with a weird kind of microsoft desktop emulator thingy.
hopefully, you'd be able to get the source for each separate module -- like they aren't coupled together.
and, i think your comment about mozilla is kinda FUD, cause there's a whole lotta interest going on now (and i think it's probably one of the most important projects (strategically) going). also, it wouldn't be released as something the community needed to "fix", anyway...
>Hrm...and did anyone else notice that "Linus" rhymes with "Penis"? heheh...how appropriate. errr... no it doesn't... he heee hee hee... you're stupid...

that's bullshit. i have visual studio 97 right before me, and:
MSVC++ 5.0 = 1 CD
MSVB 5.0 & MSVFP 5.0 = 1 CD
InterDev & J++ 1.1 = 1 CD
that's 3 CD's, not 1 as you "claim"...
maybe you mean visual studio 2000... yeah, right...
well, you think wrong... cause that's exactly what it stands for.
just read any of their stories about microsoft, and they let you know (to let the reader know about the conflict-of-interest thingy).
what the hell are you talking about? individual LT readers going to a site and voting is completely legitimate. writing bots that mass-vote or MSNBC themselves going in and doing a quick database SQL UPDATE is most definitely not!

i think whoever wrote this made a mistake...
the author, IIRC, compares a binary number to an odometer (an odometer with only 2 numbers: 0 and 1), not a datatype.

>>So my question is, when will Microsoft get the credit due to it for this groundbeaking innovation?
when you admit microsoft is a monopoly...
i'll quote allchin here:
"We must leverage Windows more..."
"sound technical decision" indeed...

OH! but they can!! don't you see??
i think you're missing something:
you attributed these technical milestones to gates superior "software designer"...
the previous poster was just debunking this claim by stating that gates had little to nothing to do with it...
yes...!! that's it!!!
we'll effectively UDP slashdot-terminal... maybe then he'll understand...!!
i'm almost positive that @home is part of TCI... oops, i mean at&t...
which, of course, is now the #1 cable-modem internet access distributor... if that made sense.
didn't MS give at&t $5billion...??
this looks like it's going to be the battle-royale of titans!
sorry, i'm not sure about vice-pres, but for president you must surely be born in the united states. i think you have to be 30 too...
it wouldn't have anything to do with your sexual organ, would it?! and i'm not even from "oz"
the post you're replying to asked what the menu key is for... not the win key. the menu key is the one on the right side of the keyboard between the win key and the control key, and is pretty useless.
just thought i'd point that out.
LOL!!! that's awesome... REDHAT, no less!!!
ha! i just pictured that Simpsons takeoff of "phantasia", when itchy(? -- the cat) chops up scratchy(? -- the mouse)... who then, in turn, becomes a bunch of little evil scratchies...
do i have to point out the irony in that this was posted by an Anonymous Coward...??

don't forget wise...
and microsoft package and deployment wizard...
and self-extracting zip files...
minesweeper and solitaire don't count...
i agree wholeheartedly...
this 'article' is going to do nothing but spark a huge flamewar and probably propagate the misinformation, if there is any, even more...

guess you're not familiar with all the problems ebay has had recently keeping their servers up....
