Very good point that Mandrake often is unlucky with release dates. But this is a maintenance release/bugfix, not really a major upgrade, so I don't really see how your point goes up here? These minor KDE releases happen quite frequently...
MS's alternate spellings

Has anyone else noticed the alternate spellings Microsoft uses on their site for their name? So many ways to spell Mircosoft to choose from...
(yes sorry, slightly off topic, but I just noted this after NTK gave a similar link about the Guardian)
Does anyone know a good way to install a binary version of KDE in Gentoo (x86)? I love Gentoo, Portage, and the community, but the three day compile to update KDE is starting to kill me.
Any chance at a kde-bin ebuild in the portage tree?
In holland most of the really cheap providers have a maximum usage of 150 to 500 MB / month. Unless we find a way to measure those kind of gotcha's, comparison seems impossible. And avarage wage in the area would be a factor to include too.
So, what happens if there'll be a 2 on the richter scale earthquake somewhere in the region? Will that be seen as proof that this is yet another correct prediction?
Please do not forget that Microsoft is already a shareholder in Apple, they will probably let Apple alive - and will probably even support Apple. Just to make anti-trust cases easier, and as long as they are no threath. And as MS has previously done to Apple with Internet Explorer, I'm quite confident Microsoft will force Apple to take the Palladium path too...
The zooming in their little animated gif or whatever seems like it might be kind of tough to get used to and it goes fast!
I tried the binary and was quite surprised just how easy it was to get into. You can slow down by moving your mouse to the right and speed up by moving it to the left. And that works rather intuïtively, I like it. I'd really love to see this in game consoles where text-input can be a real pain even today.
An exclusive first look at Microsoft's ambitious-and risky-plan to remake the personal computer to ensure security, privacy and intellectual property rights. Will you buy it?
And it makes it into slashdot? A site where 90% of the people (ahum) 'dislikes' Microsoft
You'd be hard pressed to say this is surprising. I can't recall a standard piece of computer hardware (like a processor or so) that hasn't had these kind of not-too-significant-non-standardness at some point in it's history.
Is it me or is this a standard marketing technique by a company that wants domination?

Better working image link:
Mandrake logo
And I thought compiling KDE's few million lines of code took long
Uninstalling from source isn't as hard as you make it sound. If you keep the source around it should be as simple as:
cd source/directory
su
make uninstall
At least it was last time I checked. I use Gentoo and haven't done that in a long time though...

You could always use the underscore for that - it's used in more than a few language standards:
g ();
my_steadfast_object.do_some_really_bizarre_parsin
Arguably it's more readable too, and just as enforcing. I really don't have any problems with case-sensitivity though.

So, Timothy, how much *did* microsoft pay for this

I've used some generator to create a simple poll, hoping that would end the replies asking for a poll. (I know, wishfull thinking) it's here: http://home01.wxs.nl/~toth0002/poll.html
