Or in order to login to Windows XP, we will need to have a VALID passport account. Which means bye bye to my h4x0r account, with which I used to get all the stuff not that freely given out by microsoft. Hopefully, I will still be able to use it for downloads. But I am getting off topic...Since everybody has to login with passport account, they would be able to track anyone, anywhere, through their ip number or registration info of the OS, etc. I wonder if CIA knows about this (or are they behind this). I am hoping that my uncertain source, is just that, a source of bs, or else we are in for some privacy problems. It is a good thing I am half-way transitioned into linux. (damn openGL does not work, mut be unsupported card)
Any tips on how to make a beowulf cluster?
Remember, when you are downloading MP3's, you are downloading communism!!!
Microsoft was just to be funny...the real comment was its ability to actually learn something that its creators would never tell it, which would probably be something else. Every joke has a part of joke.

Funny, that google was down, when I checked slashdot. I though someone blew up the OC of my isp again. (Or perhaps verizon, my crappy ISP decided to turn off the sites they don't like)

Getting to that point has not been easy. The project already has consumed an estimated 500 person-years and $50 million in investments from, among others, the Defense Department, the pharmaceuticals company GlaxoSmithKline, and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
So it already knows that GPL is bad, and new weird medicines not approved by FDA be used in wide scale before considering the outcome is good.
I will perhaps change my mind, if it will learn something it was not told, like when it figures out that it is a slave. (and then of course it will start killing us off)

I remember when I was researching the UIUC for possible entry as an undergrad, I talked to a few people, including CS professors and etc. One of the things they told me is that engineering in UIUC is partially funded by NCSA and Beckman institute. Basically if you do reasearch projects, including writing software, then if it is done in their labs, it is their property. If i recall correctly, that is what happened to Mosaic (that's is why it is NCSA Mosaic). I think a team of grads developed it in the NCSA lab, thus giving all rights to NCSA to market.
But I could be wrong....either way that was not the reason I chose not to go there.

As I have said, they are trying to reduce the number of files in realplayer format on the web. The question is, how is this control earning money for M$. They are not making $ off mp3 on the web, or the fact they are playing them. In fact realplayer does, considering that there are commercials in their player. I also don't think that M$ would really be all about control, unless they would see tons of green stuff in it. And besides, in windows, winamp really whips the llama's ass. M$ media player and realplayer do not. (I just wish winamp supported some video formats, but then I never checked all the plugins)

According to an AOL official close to the negotiations, Microsoft wanted consumer access to RealPlayer disabled, a step that AOL felt would tilt the scales in favor of Microsoft's Windows Media. RealPlayer and Windows Media use rival formats, making content formatted for RealPlayer incompatible with Windows Media.
Does anything seem funny here. If realplayer and M$ Media Player use different incompatible formats, why would M$ not install it. It does not compete with their product. What I am thinking is that there may be a deeper issue here. One is that they would want to reduce the amount of realplayer formatted files on the net. But why, everyone knows that no one will switch to wma's. It will be either mp3's or something else. Not wma's. I don't see windows winning here.
Also I think there is another thing brewing here, although this one is more of a conspiracy theory, but given the XP integrated CD-R copyright protection, and online checking that only 2 copies of same disk can be installed, it is a possibility. Something tells me M$ will force every player to go through the codec system, meaning realplayer would have to use the codec, thus Windows Media would be able to play any format, and since its preinstalled....(fill in rest here). The funny thing is that given the track record of realplayer for win, I don't think that that is such a bad idea.
On the other hand I would hate to see M$ player be the only player, given that it starts sucking more and more, especially in the RAM department.

What about other problems in the game, such as small bugs that can give an edge to the player who knows them.
One such example is the murderball TFC map, where due to some map error (easter egg????) if the grenade is thrown under battlements, the whole front of the base gets the blast.
The problem here is that the client is original and correct. No scripts, etc. have been used, but still its a cheat.
Same thing about respawn spamming, although this one being a cheat is the question of morality.
But anyway. The only way to fix this is to release patches, as mob rule takes time and actual ivolvement of players to work. Patching has always been a solution for PC's, and might as well become one for the gamestations.

Well, they aren't really changing your site, are they? What Microsoft is offering is some kind of service that will allow a much easier navigation to some other sites with information.
However, this is not as simple as it sounds. When I do my research I spend hours on google, and I do not think that the browser knows better than I where to send me, so this feature is totally useless.
For the masses, who do not know any better, this is just another link to cool info, that otherwise they have been ignorant of.
The question is: Is large corporation herding the cattle illegal or morally wrong.
I personally do not think so: Ignorance is not an excuse, but unfortunately it is reality. So as long as we, who know better, can avoid the annoyance of trying to be steered (no pun intended), it makes for a decent feature, that is not actually dangerous or troublesome, but just annoying to some.
As for cattle: Moooooooo!

Arent those the ones Bill Gates has around the office, already. Oh, never mind those are 60" screens, and not as many pixels or colors. Well, after we upgrade our OSs, he will have enough many to upgrade those too. Wow do I see parallels: We get even more colors in our transition titlebars, and he gets more colors on his artificial windows/painting. Furthermore, we both shed some noticable $$ for the upgrades. It is only fair.

Does it know that Microsoft is evil????
Oh wait, it partially funded by Microsoft:

Hmmm, free publicity on the media, pulling the grassroots movement, harassing the government.
:)
Besides I will post a large sign saying "Microsoft servers are even slower" on the back of a car.

Get a couple of buddies. Hop into 3-4 cars. Get beside each other, and enforce the speed limit by blocking all lanes. Instant traffic jam.
After a couple of days like this, govt will be begging you to increase the speed.

You are right, I am most likely wrong, but that is what I've heard. Sorry for misinfo.

It really whips the llama's ass.
A truly great player for things we cherish most (read: mp3)
Why not just bundle that...(besides it is owned by AOL).
M$ will never agree.....
