Well, when I install linux I usually have everything I need. However, when I move to a new Windows machine (at work, for example) there are some things I need to install:
Firefox - so I can go download the rest of the programs I need using a decent browser
PuTTY - to access my Linux machine
Winamp - everybody loves music (especially me)
SmartFTP - my favorite ftp client
Python and PythonWin - because I love writing scripts in python
WinZip - I like it's interface better than Winrar. I usually don't end up download WinRAR until I need it.
Yeah, it says "Transmission: Automatic" at the top. This is wrong. If you look a little farther down you'll see this under "Back to the Future - Time Machine Recreation":
Stainless steel body panels, grey leather interior, 5-speed manual transmission, V-6 engine with Bosch Fuel injection.
Same thing applies in relationships -- ChickFoo obviously digs your stuff, and that makes your stuff more interesting to ChickBar. (No, I'm not gonna let myself write that as "BarChick":)
That's okay, I automatically reversed it in my head.
If you're sober enough to think you're drunk, you obviously haven't had enough. By the time you *are* drunk you shouldn't know that you've had too much.
No, he didn't explicitly say that the "search engine will... be a conduit for Microsoft propaganda", but if Ballmer wants to make sure a user can't get through an online experience without hitting a Microsoft ad, then you can sure as hell bet that Microsoft is gonna make sure their ads are plentiful on their search engine site.
I temporarily switched browsers a few weeks ago and hadn't configured it for my ad-blocking proxy. The first site I linked to had one of the most obnoxious popups I'd ever seen
Yeah, I forgot all about popup ads, I've been using mozilla and firebird/firefox for so long they are no longer a problem to me. However, there are still a lot of people in the dark that accept popups as normal. Imagine having to close some Microsoft popup ad every time you want to do a search and then again when you narrow down your search terms.
It's no wonder they're behind in the search engine wars. Nobody wants to be intruded with ads they don't care about. I shouldn't get an ad for the newest version of Office when I'm looking up one of my favorite bands. And if I do get that ad I don't want it to be bigger and placed in front of my search results.

Later on I eventually end up installing:
Yeah, I always run out before I finish. Oh.. wait.. that's spelling my name out in snow. Nevermind.

But not you?
That's okay, I automatically reversed it in my head.
Did you try Google? .. Altavista? Looksmart? Teoma? Inktomi? Gigablast? AskJeeves? Yahoo!? Wisenut? Alltheweb?
This is how I know if someone has drank enough:

What if the guy loses the suit and pays for it with his American Express card? Priceless.
Very interesting. You don't happen to have the source(s) at hand, do you?
I would mod you down but I used all my mod points this morning :(
did you RTFA[dvisory]?
. . how long until it's ported to Linux?
IIRC, AFAIK PHB means pointy-haired boss.
Hahahahaha!! Sorry.. that's the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Really?? Which one?
How fucken retarded the AC's get on slashdot ...
I use almost exactly that for work:
From the top hit for "Gmail" (using google of course):
Emphasis mine. I think it's safe to say the project is done for.
Don't worry, I'm sure IBM's got a croc pit beneath the trap door, just in case :)
How could we not? They're huge.
However, I also see Sun ads and Google ads.

Sounds like my kind of search engine!
I originally thought that 'disc' stood for 'discovery', but after reading the disinformation campaign guide, I think you may be correct.
