Whilst I am not an MS developer, and I am not second-guessing the method chosen, I have seen an application (it was a tetris-like game) that is delivered to the client via the web as a set of locally cached dlls (?) that run in a "sandbox" on the client. Initially, the application has a delay whle the dlls are being transferred (installed if you will), but thereafter the application runs without delay locally using the cached objects and only contacts the server if it requires data (web services), or an update to any of the dlls. Think along the lines of an auto-upgrading ActiveX object and you will have more or less the right picture in mind from what I gather.
I guess MS's plan will be to for subscriptions to access the app in the first place and to receive the updates. Of course, this only works in IE at the moment.
For sure. Replying keeps the Postal Services busy. If you have two reply envelopes, swap the contents or include some local flyers maybe along with a nice note - "Here, have some of mine".
Not only that, but all blank CDs sold in Canada have a "Copying Levy" on them ($10.50 per 50-pack) so the government already has decided that it's fully legal to copy and burn whatever we want.
Can't agree entirely with you on that one. I agree that you have to have the tendency in the first place - that's a given.
You say you are grossed out by scat porn, but you probably didn't know that until you saw it (you might have had a good idea previously, but you didn't actually know). Now you probably didn't also purchase it the first time you saw it, so the fact that it was free to you meant that you could check it out at no cost and decide if you wanted more. In your case you didn't but in some other case that might not be the case, so to speak.
I think your sexual appetite can be developed, depending on what you are exposed to, in fact it's almost a certainty that what turned you on last year won't affect you as much next year and in that way your appetite will have developed. Free porn of all types makes it easier for you to veer off in the direction(s) that you want and find your particular comfort level.
Whether that is a good thing or not isn't for me to comment on.
Er, unless by propagating the stuff for free then you actually give people a method of developing their appetite. Then once they run out of, or just don't feel like searching for, the free stuff they turn to PPV.
Bad analogy I know, but would handing out free drugs make people buy less and put the pushers out of business? It's a thought I had myself some time ago, but in the long run I don't think so. there's just be more addicts out there.
Or at least heatsinks made from the same ceramic stuff that they coat the outside of the shuttle with. I've seen one of those suckers cool down from red hot to hand hot in about 2 seconds.
Notwithstanding the point about the web being open and cross platform/browser, The only way anyone gets to go to a MS site is usually by being re-directed there by another MS site (Hotmail Passport sign-out for instance). If I want to hear the latest propaganda, I'll visit. It's just another portal when all said and done. Sad that a lot of sheep don't know the difference, but that only makes me look smarter.
Up until recently I was using a Sun SparcStation IPX - free from a client of mine, running Solaris 7. Ran great once I'd figured out how ipnat worked and it already had two nics installed just begging to become a router.
Now I run an SMC Barricade (4port) and am extremely happy with it - just install and forget. I even have my printer hooked up to it to save a parallel port on the PC.
One point to watch for on this router - if you flash the firmware, be sure to disconnect the wan side first. Otherwise, I hear you risk corrupting the software.

Damn right I'm unamerican. Dunno about the rest though.
Is there a Malicious Malicious Software Removal Tool Removal Tool?
Who knows, you might bag a rarely spotted Osama.

Just my 2c - that's all.
Well, it's yer space-time warping by large gravitational fields innit.
r s/961102.html for a pretty good explanation.

Checked out the statistics course - OS requirement is Windows. Oh well, I'll just have to remain an ignorant Fedora user.
...and they didn't even use G A T C shopping carts either.
That would be Gateway, Asda, Tesco and, er, I don't recall a store for 'C'.
Seems odd that an opensource-bashing site would be hosted on FreeBSD; at least that's what Netcraft appears to report.

I wonder what the webserver is? Apache maybe?

For sure. Replying keeps the Postal Services busy.

Nuff said.

...and then just send you about 3 lines down the same page. Bastards. Come to think about it, all those intra-page links suck.

Er, would that be Stardate 2003.1
Carlin good, but yer all talking out of yer arses.
The term given to two airplanes coming into close proximity when they shouldn't is an 'air miss'.
Some idiot relayed 'an air miss' as 'a near miss' and the phrase stuck.
There, I've put you straight, you need never call them 'near misses' again.
Make sure you sew a Canadian Flag onto your backpack.
