The results of calling such a treatment a cure would probably be an increased spread of AIDS.
Just like handing out condoms to kids in schools doesn't already increase the probability of the spread of HIV since it gives them the go ahead to have sex since its "safer"?
Even MS couldn't write code that bloated, even with the hidden flight simulators.
I take it you haven't seen how many CDs Flight Sim 2004 is on have you? It's on FOUR CDs. That's a good start to being bloated; given that a lot of that is probably graphics but still.
The Federal Trade Commission said it had warned Gates about a similar reporting infraction when his personal investment trust bought shares of Republic Services Corp. in November 2001. The acquisition brought his stake to more than 10 percent of the outstanding shares of the waste-hauling company.
He must have been preparing for the rejection of Windows XP by the populous.
You can't run Windows apps from 10 years ago b/c XP will complain that they aren't 32 bit apps; they are 16 bit. I had to go buy all new versions of games that I had for DOS in order to play them through Windows 95/98 because of the architectural changes in the OS. The Star Wars flight sim games called Xwing and Tie Fighter are the games I had to repurchase. Some games that I used in DOS don't work at all anymore. A lib change in Linux is different than a kernel change in Windows that prevents games from running at all. Upgrade a lib and you are done...or to help the customer just statically link the libs anyway,which is what should be done for commercial apps. Don't alienate users by making them worry about the libs.
The was apparently, an avid p0rn viewer with no popup protection or the like. Ugly... very ugly...
Using porn viewer in the same sentence with popup protection gives a whole new meaning to the phrase popup protection, not to mention "ugly, very ugly".
Not a single link to IE on the first page of results for "web browser"? Fishy.
Not when 100% of users of windows will already have IE installed because it is part of the OS. WHy do searches on it? Go to microsoft.com if you want to find out about it. Those who use it are also mainly those who barely know how to use it and/or wouldn't know enough to think of trying to do searches on it to fix something.
According to CmdrTaco, the majority of Slashdot visitors use IE. Kind of puts things into perspective as far as the "movement" goes.
The movement is stronger in some areas than others. How many of those users that use IE are accessing the site from home, how many from work? Those numbers matter. You can't just lump them together.
just at those people who are too silly to realise a natural human act and desire when they see it. Unfortunately, these can screw it up for everyone else.
But no one says it should be cheapened and sold for profit to anyone willing to watch. The sad thing is people get a hold of the porn when they aren't supposed to. If your rationale is to let it fly just because its 2004 I'd assume that if we wait long enough it would be okay to just let anything go? You do realize that is a horrible argument. The day in age we live in has nothing to do with letting it be allowed or not. If anything, too many things are being allowed already w/o anyone seeming to care b/c it would be offensive to someone if we didn't allow it. GET OVER IT ALREADY. You don't need everything you may want. By the way, i don't think anyone on this site, or the world for that matter, was created by anal sex, contrary to what you may believe. Normal sex is a small subset of what is really out there.

Regurgitation, gay marriages, and diamond rings? Exactly where is the randomness at? I don't see it. Maybe google is smarter than you think.
Having a man and a woman raise a child is always better than 2 men or 2 women or even 1 man or 1 woman. There are many single parent families in the US and although they may get by okay and the child doesn't seem to be affected too much the best way to raise a child is to have 1 woman and 1 man. That's why there are 2 sexes. It takes both to raise a child because each sex can provide a certain side of child rearing that is needed to raise a child the best way possible. Not to mention that 2 women are 2 men lowers the values set aside by society as a whole and although your mind says it is okay to live that way society as a whole does not want children thinking that it is okay. If it was okay then everyone would be like that but then again if everyone was like that the species would cease to exist. Makes sense doesn't it? Same sex marriage is wrong. If we were meant to act that way and not be with the opposite sex the species would become extinct so maybe that would tell you something about whether it is in the best interest of a child, let alone the society/species as a whole.
Unemployment isnt as bad as it was a year ago. Companies let go of employees, the President doesn't. Gas prices always go up and they always go down, and it's also summer time for those in th Northern hemisphere and prices always go up then because of travelers. We aren't killing our own soldiers. You can blame the rebel Iraqis for that. Ballistics tests on the bullets will prove it's not friendly fire. You may not like the fact we are over there but it's for a good cause. The vast majority of Iraqis welcome our help but, as i said, it's the rebels that don't. When the minorities of the nation get to change the law for their own benefit it's time to play hardball so that the decency level and the core family values of the nation are upheld. We can educate our children but the problem is the teachers are too lax and they are too lax to be politically correct so that no child "can be left out" or "feel stupid" so they just pass everyone whether they deserve it or not. THe number of users on here who can't spell attest to the fact that people have always made it out of school who aren't the brightest star in the sky. And I haven't heard anything as far as not being able to feed the children.
Windows XP (both Home and Pro) ARE multi user operaitng systems. You can use the Switch user feature which brings back the login screen where you can pick what username you want to use and the other users' environments are unharmed.
The write-once discs can store up to 8.5 gigabytes of data, or about 4 hours of DVD-quality movies, twice the capacity of regular blank DVDs.
Twice the current spec would be over 9 gigs. 8.5 is not twice the capacity of regular blank DVDs. 9.4 gigs would be 2x the capacity. I feel ripped off.
What ever happened to a standard level of decency? By the way, the Constitution has no separation of church and state. It was inserted after the fact a few decades ago by those who had an agenda to allow anything w/o regard to morals, decency, and standards so that nothing could be considered bad.

I call on all true patriotic American men and women to do something about this travesty.
Give me your number and I'll call on your wife.

Does the Linux kernel having a built in web server count for anything?

Use Group Policies in Active Directory to deploy applications across a Windows 2000 domain.
you damn well better make sure that the product is shipped secure to begin with, and maintains itself.
Maybe we should get our mothers an IBM eServer for Mother's Day? They heal themselves...sometimes even order themselves.
you can thank free speech advocates for the latter.
Currently 60GB on a laptop is considered good.......but HD capacity is one area where they're severely lacking
If 60GB is not good enough for you on a laptop maybe you should contact EMC or LSI then. Geez.
Good grief - what hill have you been living under?!?

Control of Iraq is being handed over to the Iraqis at the end of June. Happy now?

Since they obviously buy into the ' pirates are eating us alive syndrome'
I thought those were cannibals, not pirates?
Some live to do nothing but offend, because it's fun to be on the 'upper hand'.
