RE: how long till whackjob's start making weapons in them?
don't worry. This stuff will be illegal as soon as it is available because it will kill the revenue stream of too many rich people. And thanks to "the Shrub", only the terrorists will have access to this technology.
MS is just trying to get as far away from Unix-like stuff so that IF their users wake up to Linux the users would want to stay with what they know.
IE: Only Windows has a registry for configuration. (I'm excluding NetWare 5+ on purpose , BTW) It's not because it's better. It's to make windows applications harder to leave the Windows world and take their users with them. In fact, if your application still uses INI files you can't get Windows XP certification (never mind Vista...)
So in the end, it's all about lock-in. (Lock-in = $)
They would have to create one corp for each bogus-patent in case they loose! And if they loose, they would then have to prove that that loosing corp is not the EFF itself.
Yes but "champagne" tracking service wouldn't see it and it legal to convert to MP3s.
If you steal the CD, it's theft. That's it. If you DL the MP3s or an image of the CD, thats a (c) infringement, equivalent to photocopying a book. Now they want $15Mil for ONE track.
I've had 4+ Hemorrhoid operations myself. I had 3 were they just slit the thing when it sticks out and goes hard, purple and painful. They used Local anesthetic for the operation with me awake and gave me pain killers (Tylenol 3) for 3-4 days. Going to the bathroom for a #2 was not fast or pleasant for the 20 years I had them until I got them banded.
Now I feel like I got a new one and I make sure I get my fiber!!
FYI: When nothing sticks out they call them polyps.(they can get banded too!)
I'm telling a friend to return their Toshiba Satellite P200d laptop because you cannot GET XP drivers for it. Vista (with timebomb apps) is preloaded of course. (No user choice there)
1. "Quirks mode" remains the same, and compatible with current content.
2. "Standards mode" remains the same as IE7, and compatible with current content.
3. ["super standards"], you []get it by inserting a simple element.
Why to do have to add a tag to "say" it's standard. Change the name of mode 2 to "Almost standard" and get people to use that tag there!
Q: Is this Promise consistent with open source licensing, namely the GPL? And can anyone implement the specification(s) without any concerns about Microsoft patents?
A: The Open Specification Promise is a simple and clear way to assure that the broadest audience of developers and customers working with commercial or open source software can implement the covered specification(s). We leave it to those implementing these technologies to understand the legal environments in which they operate. This includes people operating in a GPL environment. Because the General Public License (GPL) is not universally interpreted the same way by everyone, we can't give anyone a legal opinion about how our language relates to the GPL or other OSS licenses, but based on feedback from the open source community we believe that a broad audience of developers can implement the specification(s).
I don't get warm and fuzzy feelings reading this and I think that's the idea...
If the writers strike goes on 'til the summer, one or 2
If the writers strike goes on for a year, NONE. All the producers will have bypassed the studios and dealt with the writers directly. (David Letterman did it already...)
Gotta love how Yahoo keeps on adding layers to *prevent* you from getting to your email.
As it is now: -You login -you get a customizable billboard that lets you preview (but not touch) your email. -You must click "Email" to get to your email. -It then opens a new window or tab with your email to keep the Ads intact and *hopefully* in your view.
I can't wait to see how this *new Feature* will enhance the billboard and make my email that much slower and harder to use.
Is this "feature" back-ported to XP SP3, too? SP3 is supposed to have some of Vista's most useful features as well as all previous bug fixes. Would a shame to ruin a good service pack that speeds up XP by 10%.

because +90% of email is spam and they won't declare open season on Spammers. (aka Lynch mob...)

OOXML opens a whole lot more doors for FOSS than the binary formats ever did, [...]
That's why MS patented the fuck out of OOXML so that FOSS project couldn't touch it.
The penalty would be much less than this.
I heard that when you switch to FIOS they remove your POTS lines.
Also, from what I'm guessing, it you don't like your ISP providing the FIOS connection, you cannot get another ISP that can use that FIOS connection.
IOW: you are just locking yourself into another monopoly.

RE: then add in this tag, and IE8 will render it like IE7."/i?
But that would punish all the idiots that drank the MS-koolaid.
MS want to punish those that didn't!
you probably meant: "Will it blend?"
Why not create a whitelist for IE6 behaviour?
That way internal ie6 web-apps will work.

RE: First: How are they envisioning powering a device like this?
by the picture of the lens I would say wires.
There's little pads big enough to glue/solder wire to.
Doesn't sound too comfortable but the rabbit didn't complain...

Not gonna happen.
Why? They don't bring in more revenu to Yahoo.
Now if you could figure out how to make money from such a thing...

My apologies.
