From the article:...are basic enough to the behavior of the operating system that they may affect application behavior...
As far as I understand it, MS is just being careful. You can never know what programmers will do with your operating system. How deep will they dig and how many undocumented and unsuppoted API will they use.
After all it's not like other operating systems never break apps.
According to our ministry of comm. the penetration rate in Israel is 43%. Clearly small countries have the advantage of smaller and simpler network infrastructure.
They do that all the time. For example, few years back during one of the first.NET PDC I participated here in Israel, all lectors used Emacs for C#. Ugly ingratiating trick if you ask me.
... if by any chance you have MS LAN with AD, you can deploy Firefox to all your clients nearly instantly using Firefox MSI. It works like a charm and increase their chances to keep the promise.

Firefox - The Platform
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
But to compare ActiveX and XPI/Plugins, you have to look at their requirements:... Firefox: Your choice of OS (so no additional needed - it works with whatever you're running) Mozilla Firefox itself: 10-20MB (16MB for me, on XP Pro, with some extensions installed)
This is true under the assumption that you compile your plugins and extensions for each and every OS separately (unless it's a pure XUL). Not every developer has the ability to support all the available platforms (the company where are work - don't). Of course even then it's a huge plus for Firefox 'cause there is no XP ActiveX.
Conflicts like any other extreme conditions can't go ever and ever. It just takes time to develop a civilized society.
You should see what happened here during the last 50 years. The whole country was desert and marshes and now we have hitech and skyscrapers. It's only a matter of time till we'll make peace in ME.
Both sides do atrocities unless you're justifying terrorist acts on civilians performed by Palestinians (targeted against both arabs and jews).
Once again, this is exactly my point - we have a very complicated situation, there is no white and black side - both are black. This is of course bad and I'm strongly against it, however your solution to vote for somebody else (what I actually did) is oversimplified, to say the least.
I think democracy is the only way to go, of course when one thinks one is better - the majority is always wrong.
I guess you're right. Just note that Israel is the only democracy in ME.
Because Isreal is always innocent, and anyone who says otherwise is a Nazi.
I never said so, you know that. My point is that Israel "play" by the rules of this cruel world. We're just as "innocent" as many other countries. We most definitely don't want war but we don't have a solution.
Please note that all I'm saying is that calling our government (hence us who voted or not voted but democratically accepted it) "nazilike warmongering bastards" requires a very solid knowledge of what's going on in ME. Knowledge that no newspaper can provide. In order to be able to judge one should learn the situation from both sides. Have you heard all that both sides have to say? I afraid not.
Catheterization robot was recently tested in Israel. The operation was broadcasted over hundreds of hospitals. Unfortunately it's not even on the news yet. I know about it because my brother-in-law was involved in R&D. This is the only place that mentions this event, but it's in Hebrew and requires a reg. fee:(.
Everybody on this planet has her/his own interests.
Do you really think that countries like Russia or France vote against Israel because they honestly care for the welfare of Palestinians? Or, perhaps, what really matters is their business relationship with Arab countries?
...because they think they are better....
This accusation is false a priori just like any other generalization in the world. Nobody in Israel thinks so except some religious extremists and garbage like that you may find in any country. I'm Jew, I live in Israel but I don't think that I or anyone from my nation is better than anyone else. So thinks anyone I ever got a chance to talk with. I afraid you're a bit biased and fed up with propaganda. How come nobody blaims Russia for erasing entire cities in Chechnya? Spain has territories belonging to Morocco, Russia has territories belonging to Japan and everybody shut up. But Israel - nooooo, they're the true devil!
Considered together, XP and office go retail for about 450 bucks
Well, not in Russia, it ain't. In Russia I got me 70 rubles for it:-)
Now seriously, is it only me who truly and utterly believes that MS secretly supports piracy to create critical mass and put pressure on large organizations (your employees are familiar with Windoze, Linux learning curve is steep, its administration complicated, blah-blah-blah...)?
Subjetive judgement can quickly lead to wrong conlusions + chances are that it's not a majority who tells us so. I'm not justifying the inhuman acts and there are plenty of them from both sides. Life is the only thing that counts for me, I'm far from being religious, I love arabs just as I love jews or any other human, however we have a serious situation here. Very serious. Hence I can't accept suggestions like "Easy: stop voting...". From the very little I know about you I conclude that you're a smart person. Please tell me then if you really believe that there can be such a simple solution as telling 6 millions to vote for someone *you* think should do better for all of us - arabs and jews. Do you have the necessary competence? Do you know enough about the arabs/jews conflict? At the time I took an yearly course in HUJI about it and the facts, loads of facts that I can't quote here, tell that this conflict has very deep roots. Lots of terrible things happened from both sides. We've done and do what should not be done. They do the same. Do we really have to resort to the childish "who started" while exchanging arguments about the conflict?
OK lets imagine we've voted for the most liberal party who truly wants to make peace w/our neighbors. Then what? What they should do? Many quite competent people say there is no quick solution because Arafat has no control over palestinian extremists.
Even at the time of Ehud Barak when he offered a really independent Palestinian state the only answer from Arafat wat the recent Intifada El-Aksa. How would you suggest to continue the negotiations?
Your reading skills could do with some more training (I was clearly not talking about the warmongering nazilike bastard in the US)
I was sarcastic (and clearly understood whom you were talking about).
Not that you know what my country is.
Not that I care. Start there, then go for Israel.
I haven't voted for Sharon and do not share his views, at the time I voted for Meretz (radical leftists). However, my point is that I doubt your competence to judge Israel objectively.
...If Israel wants to pull back to it's original borders, as mandated by the UN and defined at the time of its creation...
1. Do you support this initial definition only because enough time passed since then? Then wait few years and you'll have no problem with this 'wall' as well - both share the same justification.
2. Except the 'wall', do you have any other bright ideas of how to protect civilians from suicide bombers?
3. Did you see the 'wall' you're talking about? I invite you to visit Israel and take a look yourself. Till then - pleaaaaaase - don't believe the press that much. Often they lie just as politicians.
i use email for business and receive many letters from clients. i just afraid to loose any of these because of a spam filter. therefore even when i used one, i checked all the emails anyway.

IMO your statement is a bit overdramatic.
...are basic enough to the behavior of the operating system that they may affect application behavior...

Just 5 stories away. It wouldn't be big if freeware totally rules.

You should read the original article to see ...
Oh no, it won't work here.
'cause it's already a worm food ;-)
my heart breaks into pieces withstanding such a cruelty...

Can anyone else imagine Microsoft five years from now being known more and more as that company that makes really nice mice and peripherals?
... oh well ... this?
Wishful thinking.
What about this, this, this, this
You've probably misreaded, the article says "canon of work" not "work of cannons".
Conflicts like any other extreme conditions can't go ever and ever. It just takes time to develop a civilized society.
You should see what happened here during the last 50 years. The whole country was desert and marshes and now we have hitech and skyscrapers. It's only a matter of time till we'll make peace in ME.
there is NO excuse which justifies the atrocities
Both sides do atrocities unless you're justifying terrorist acts on civilians performed by Palestinians (targeted against both arabs and jews).

smaller is not always better
right, but thinner is better. i don't care if it's wide and high(up to the size of my pocket) but i really hate when it's thick.
I think democracy is the only way to go, of course when one thinks one is better - the majority is always wrong.

Easy: The civilans should stop voting for warmongering nazilike bastards.
Do you mean USA civilians voting for GWB?
Why don't you start making order in your own country. Then, when it's perfect, we'll gladly listen for your advices.

1. Do you support this initial definition only because enough time passed since then? Then wait few years and you'll have no problem with this 'wall' as well - both share the same justification.

...signed XPI?
I mean before all those bells and whistles. As a plugin developer i greatly miss them
(not this, but one that really works).
And pleaaaaaaase before you tell me it's useless, go ahead and try to convince some Joe user to install "unsigned hence possibly dangerous" plugin.
just my humble opinion...
i use email for business and receive many letters from clients. i just afraid to loose any of these because of a spam filter. therefore even when i used one, i checked all the emails anyway.
