It's a publicity stunt. Do you really think the code is for real. By the time the countries around the world figure it out, there will be a Windows extralonghorn 2008 enterprise edition service pack 16 + 19 million hotfixes available.
M$ need to stop this bullshit. Go back to what you do best. Flood market with buggy products and make generous donation to avoid taxes!
I so agree. And I'll add on that marketing technology will always be a challenge from the job description perspective. A car marketing person can be expected to drive their product around. I can't expect a sun marketing person to try out solaris. That's the flaw with marketing in general. The more complicated the technology, the less the marketing person touches.
No it ain't heating up. It hasn't even started. And looking at this weak 1st generation lineup, My goodness PSP probably won't hit full stride until 2007. Nothing against Sony, I am just calling it down the middle.

Please.... Journalism, Politics AND technology has always been closely tied. Read "The 70 greatest conspiracy of all time." This is really nothing new. Except we have slashdot to speak out nowadays. Before it was the same shit without the internet.
Isn't it funny that Nvidia card owners are already beating the game. ATI owners like me have just gotten a working Catalyst 4.9 driver a few days ago. I have had the game sit on my desk for a month collecting dust. Oh the other irony is that they release the demo AFTER the Catalyst driver... hmm....
From what I heard ICO for PS1 had a ridiculously sad ending. Though I have yet to even play the game. Does anyone know if the gameplay/fun factor is worth it to try the game?
There needs to be a FF united where we use today's hardware to bring back all the old FF series in 1 timeline. Think of a giant storyline starting with FF1 then 2,3... up to 10. But have your characters gain level continuously from FF1 to end, Chrono Trigger style...
There are a million filesystems better than UFS that Sun could have easily squeezed into Solaris 9. For years, consumers have been screaming for reiser and other filesystems as the default. The standard filesystem will always be UFS no matter what their marketing push. Until I see c0t0d0 as ZFS, I won't believe a thing.
While I too want to flamebait these articles. Even I have to admit I was blown away by Firefox beta demos. I am almost certain to use it as Firefox 1.0 becomes available late October 2004.
No no no. The biggest caveat is M$ will be at "innovation territory". That's something M$ has never been able to do. They do their best work when they come in second and steal someone else's idea.

As much as we want this wind energy stuff to hit the market, it probably will get delayed for eternity. Why? Cause our society is build to encourage consumers to spend infinitely, not save.
1.) Same reason why no company has build the perfect car that last forever. Could we, absolutely? Will corporate america allow it, hell no!
2.) Same with fluoride and detergent permanently polluting the water. Do we do squat about it, hell no! Cause chemical companies are $$$ing.

I can't believe people still haven't seen the pattern here. Original HL2 was marketed to come out in the year 2059. Let me see...
2003 - We have had stolen code earlier to push back the release.
2004 - Court case
2005 - Virus kill all the developers at Valve
2006 - All HL2 delivery trucks are hijacked.
HL2 IS vaporware, I don't care how many mpeg videos prove otherwise.
Virus
Spyware
Adware
Blue Screen
What's amazing is that in windows land you can have all 4 seasons all year round.

I fear that it might be IMPOSSIBLE for Internet explorer statistics to really tank, since windows is on every other person's PC.
If a few years from now Firefox is 30% and IE is 70%, that would still be an amazing feat for Firebox IMHO.

I am ready to use it, except I am waiting a tad bit longer just for Firefox to iron out a few more bugs for the 1.0 final (supposedly in October?).
If there are 1,000,000 people downloading the pre-release, then there has got to be 2,000,000 people like me just waiting for the final version.
Man that's a terrible way to tell whether a movie is good. Now I got to take some kids to watch porn to see if they fall asleep.

SCO would be a bad idea. Those lawyers don't work at the office. They just hog up the offices with windows, then stay home and get paid a cazillion.

Come on it's all the same result every year. The top vote getters are always democrats and republicans. Then goes...

Anyone know if there is any specific network ports that can be blocked to prevent these spyware?

The question is how do you get by with a list of free TV guide so you can program at will with no subscription.
Sorry, I am still waiting for the COUSE (Cock Mouse).
RIAA: We like to screw customers?
M$: How so?
RIAA: We used to enforce $20 a music CD throughout the entire 90s.
M$: That's nothing. We make people pay subscriptions for life.
RIAA: Yes, but we enforce $20 over products we don't produce.
M$: Damn that's good. But ours include holes for viruses and spyware. So people will spend more money.
RIAA: Well, our music CDs will soon be unlistenable because we will change format. They will have to buy the music again.
M$: Yes, we can arrest people for stealing our software.
RIAA: Please, we have already arrested a grandmother, a single parent on welfare, and a 5 year old.
M$: You are my idol.

- There will be no security in the building.
- Your windows and office will need to be patched everyday.
- The wealthier customers will have special access in the building.
- After everything is paid for, you will need to have a subscription just because.
- You'll need new version of windows every year.

In that case I'll display mpegs of hot sunny days on my monitor for those cold winter times.
Wait the sec, why don't I just display a fireplace.
Oh wait, why don't I just display the sun at my window.
