This may have been a coup 6 or 7 years ago, but this is a waste of bandwidth on today's internet.
H-Paq is a company on its way down. Netscape lost the war and continues to lose market share even to its own offspring.
Sounds to me like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for any press coverage they can drum up. Cuz god knows you can't download and install it yourself. And the OS doesn't have its own default-browser setting menus. Oh wait, you can. And it does.
'Non-denominational protestantism?' Is that like transnational Americanism?
No, you shit-for-brains. It means not Catholic. And also not specifically Episcopalian or Congregationalist or Lutheran or Baptist or any of the other various Christian religions that are collectively known as "Protestant".
I have to agree wholeheartedly that the Sacto store has something going on that makes it better than the other branches. I've been to Sunnyvale a number of times, and LA and Vegas once, but now that I live up in Sacramento I have no fear of going to Fry's. In fact, just 2 weeks ago I dropped around $1500 on a half ton of parts for a mammoth machine. The salesman (who was happy to get my big commission) was extremely helpful tracking down everything I needed, and wasn't afraid to say "I don't know" when the subject got over his head. Not having built a machine in a couple years there were some new technologies that I wasn't schooled on but he stepped right up with clear concise descriptions of it all and even had the ability to discuss the subjects in some detail.
AND!
I had to go back 3 days later to replace on of the hard drives I had just bought. I was in and out with a brand new HD within 15 minutes. And I didn't even have the packaging, just the reciept!
While not making the information totally unavailable, M$ did their part to obfuscate this miscarriage of corporate government (for me at least) by leveraging their ad-space on the page to cover the right half of the second paragraph. Kudos!
What principles are you talking about? I don't recall a single RFC that specifies that sort of stuff.
I've read a lot of RFCs over the years and I somehow don't recall any of them having to do with openness, sharing of knowledge, or any of the other traits people keep thinking the internet ought to have.
How could you have read all those many RFCs if the net wasn't built with principles of "openness and sharing of knowledge" in the first place? WTF do you think those RFCs are if not documents of "openness and sharing of knowledge"?
When the Intellimouse first came out it had completely broken the PS/2 mouse standard that was ubiquitous in the industry at that point and M$ also refused to give up the specs for "their" protocol. I had many would-be Linux users screaming at me for months that Linux must be shitty because it wouldn't even support their mouse.
I expect you've never seen their hidden API's either. Does that mean they don't exist?
I want to rename these type of patents the "Jules Vernes" or the "Leonardo DaVinci" patents. Can you imagine how rich either of those mens ancestors would be today if they had patented their ideas.
Their ancestors most likely died before the inventors you mention. Perhaps their DESCENDENTS might have made some money if there was a patent system then.
While you are mocking "one's" mastery of the English language, I was in fact mocking an entire corporation. These people's livelihoods are at stake if their products don't sell but if my comments on/. get 0 or 10 billion hits it makes no difference to me or those that depend on me.
If I had been paid to write product copy and spit out crap like they did my ass woulda been dumped on the sidewalk years ago. In a world where M$ has proven that "it's all about the marketing", you'd really think companies would take the extra 5 minutes to paint a grammatically accurate image of themselves.
Yeah, that's it: a high qualify image in bright sliver!
By using the bright sliver and dark gray colors to display a high tech and high qualify image.
I too often use bright sliver to give a product a high qualify image. And sentance fragments! Tasty sentance fragments *drool*.

more working space and be far away from the table mess.
Ah, yes I see. When you don't actually plug anything into the unit and just let it sit like a paper weight there's no mess at all.
Don't get me wrong, it looks like a great idea and might actually be done right. Too bad their page appears to be written and editted by a 4 year old.
I build you this mini-book PC in order to have your advice.
1) Get libsafe. The telnetd exploit is a buffer overflow (like so many bugs these days); if someone tries to hack your system this way, libsafe will trap it, kill telnetd (which is fine since telnetd should be running from (x)inetd and can respawn), and mail root.
Bullshit. The only thing libsafe has ever done on my system is cause my fsck's and fdisk's not to run. It's a great idea but obviously implementation is lacking egregiously.

Only difference is they didn't encrypt the book. But they still alter the costs based on locale.
I don't understand why this is a surprise to so many.

My favorite blame-the-user line is in Scandisk after a Windoze crash:
Windows was not shut down properly.
So because their OS crashed, they're blaming ME for not shutting it down. Bullshit.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Windows, while having many interface flaws, sensibly abolished the "Exit" menu item.
Well duh. It never unloads itself from RAM. Even if there was an option all it could do is close the window.

Bullying people in their own homes on their own time and harassing them until they submit to purchasing some piece of shit is NOT an honest living.
Can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.
