    That explains a lot of IEs standards compliance issues.

    I hope you look back when in reverse!

  3. Re:Why is this such a surprise? on Software Monoculture in Schools? · · Score: 1

    Not to monger, but I have not seen a "subpar" IBM, however I will eat my toenails before I willingly purchase another HP/compaq box.

  4. Re:Not the same thing. on Hack Your Ride · · Score: 1

    In the US we have to divert the wastgate back to the exhast system, through the cats and the muffler(I saw a drag car that had a wastegate dump to the atmosphere, that was something else!). The blowoff valve will divert intake charge to the atmosphere in the charecteristic "woosh" of a turbo car, and a bypass valve will send it back into the intake(a cheap way around having the MAF read the air twice and run the motor rich). On cars where the diverter valve has been replaced by a blowoff valve you can hear the pop when the motor runs rich(like in rally cars).
    You can also have a mechanicly controlled wastegate, modifying those (manual boost controler) is a popular way to get cheap power(and a quick way to blow a motor).

  7. Re:only one profitable product on Microsoft Revenue Up, Tries to Hook Third World · · Score: 1

    Thank you very much for that link, My googleing skills are obviously not up to par.

    I think Windows and Office sales are helped by the fact that John Doe does not have much of a choice in operating systems when he purches a prebuilt system. Then number of systems that ship with Windows, and office for that matter, has to have something to do with their ability to safly run a deficit in their other departments.

  8. only one profitable product on Microsoft Revenue Up, Tries to Hook Third World · · Score: 1

    There is something to be said about a company that gains all of its profits from one product. IIRC the operating systen devision is the only one that does not have red numbers on the books. The media center, Xbox, and office are all funded by the operating system, again, IIRC.

    You could always give it to charity, it sure seems a little more fesable than looing for spacemen IMHO.
