It's probably so they can allocate resources for the actual search engine, rather than its web frontend. Teenagers familiar with Windows do cost less than Unix admins. You get what you pay for, but that's probably all they need in this case, for now.
They could just be using IIS for the web frontend, since it's probably cheaper to hire a PFY that's familiar with Windows than to hire qualified Unix admins for everything.
Try Protozilla. It basically allows you to (re)define handlers for protocols in the URI. (I used it to redirect mailto: to mutt in an xterm, since muttzilla doesn't work with mozilla).
If Microsoft's products are not modular, that's Microsoft's problem. Why should Sun, Netscape, Real, Apple or anyone else suffer because Microsoft can't cope?
I'm not 100% familiar with U.S. law, but isn't it perfectly legal in the U.S. to have an identical trademark as another entity, as long as you are not competing in the same industry? In other words, wouldn't it be legal for the foundation to call itself "Intel Inside", as long as they are not maufacturing electronics components?
OTOH, with stuff like the DMCA, I don't know what is legal in the U.S. anymore.
Hint: Ogg was originally LGPL, and is now X11 - even *less* GPL (and in Ogg's case, RMS agreed this was a good move, because of the network effect needed to get good Ogg adoption).
This is what annoys me about the RMS-is-an-irrational-zealot trolls. RMS has proved time and time again to be a reasonable person, but people keep on trolling.

This idea of "optimizing" bad code seems to stem from our universities.
Ever since they started teaching C++ or Java in introductory courses... Sigh. You can teach calculus before you teach algebra, and some people might survive, but most won't know what's going on.
I still use only Windowmaker even with this 1+ GHz, 512 MB machine and do not intend to switch to KDE or Gnome
You too? I thought I was the only one!
I have a similar configuration as you, and I've never understood why someone would pay all the money for a new system, and not want it to run as quickly as possible.
When KDE/GNOME are (ballpark figure) 30% slower than Window Maker, then they are 30% slower on every machine. That might only translate into a few seconds for some operations, but 30% is still 30%, eh?
What the focus group didn't realize is that the antipathy was toward having to use a slow GUI-based remote access system at all, rather than just having a half-decent shell.

It's the DMCA, not the DCMA.
What happened with Postgres?

Be patient. Caching takes up a lot of storage, which costs a lot of money, which Teoma doesn't have yet.

Funny... I know a lot of Canadians and none of them pronounce "about" "aboot".
Sigh. The open-source community can always fork VP3 and compete with VP5 if they do that. That's the nature of the *GPL.

I'm not an American, so I don't know, but do you Americans have some way of removing senators from office?
Mutt has built-in PGP support. All you have to do is configure it.
That's pure bullshit. Criticism should be welcome in all technical circles. If you don't like criticism, then go do something else.

Comments like these are what allow people to spread the FUD that "Linux isn't well supported".

Oh. Nevermind.
I thought it was common knowledge among sysadmins that people's passwords WILL suck.
A desktop button that calls cdetach, ssh-add -D, and xscreensaver.
Core memory!
VNC sure is slow compared with a text terminal, though. We use TightVNC at work, which helps, but it's still a long shot.
Argh!
