No, I don't think they do. But it is enough to get a new 2000 or XP system up and semi-secure. Subsequent updates would be not nearly as large. Easily doable on dialup.
Now tell me how they are supposed to download the M$ patches necessary.
Simply go here, give them your name and address, and the nice people at Microsoft will send you a CD with all of the current OS patches. Free of charge.
Ion may be good for something already in orbit. But... "If you want a mission in which you want to reach your destination in a hurry or accelerate quickly, ion propulsion's not for you," Rayman said.

simply put users shouldn't have to go to their email app to edit their contacts.
The way Outlook is designed to work, it does make sense to put everything there. An awful lot of people conduct their entire business day in their Outlook window. Their whole business day is conducted through that one piece of s/w. Opening extra apps to manage contacts or schedule a meeting does not make sense, for them.
Contacts/email/calendar/tasks/notes/corporate intranet/some HTML financial reporting....all the same, through the single interface.
Between freeware, shareware, demo's, and 'last years'...most of mine come in under $20, much less $50. And my kids don't notice the diff. A couple of weeks ago, my 13 year old asked "Dad, can we get Commander Keen on this machine again?"
I think the absolute most I spent was $40, twice, for one of the Quakes, and Ratchet & Clank. It is actually a very good game.
That happens all the time. Kid steals a car, runs into something or acuses a big accident, abandons it (or is caught). How many times have you heard of the car owner (the other victim) being sued? I haven't heard of one. Not ever.
...but how feasible WOULD it be to make worms for Linux?

Currently, Linux is more secure because, among other things, its users are generally more clued up. Put the general Bonzi fan on Lindows, and you'd see much the same thing.

It wasn't "ask a question, and wait two days", but rather a lot of discussion. And the '2 days' was really maybe noon to 5, and then 8:30 to noonish the next day.
You've never had a weird problem? Everything is always perfectly documented? Riiiight.
I've found the same doing a similar analysis as these guys. But the problem is that word most. When there are a few hundred going in and out per day, even a few ends up being too many.
Have you, and IT person, ever called the MS helpline? If so, were you able to get an answer?
Sure...a few times. This last time, it was an issue regarding the registry, and a tool from MS to migrate into AD. A hive on the Registry was, due to this tool, made read only. A particular Outlook application we were building needed user access to this hive.
So, we ended up having 4 tier 2/3 MS guys (AD, Office, Win2000) on the phone for almost 2 full days. Way more cost to MS than the $250 we paid for the support call. I found them helpful, knowledgeable, and we got the answer in the end.
Years ago, we had a programming issue in Visual FoxPro. "How do we do X?" The MS guy ended up saying, "No, it can't be done that way" Two days later, we called him back and said "Hey...here's how you do it"

Me leaving my car door unlocked is not an invitation or implicit permission for you to help yourself to the stereo.
Dumb, maybe, but you are still on the wrong side of the law when you take it.
This is the royal you, of course.

Different with the pepsi caps. The Redeem function is a different section.
And for today's free song, they should pay us to listen to it. Avril Lavigne? please...
That's because for a "free" song you had to give them your credit card number.
No, you didn't. I got two free, no credit card required.
hmm...maybe you shouldn't be going 80mph through a construction zone.
How do you keep a passenger car on the road at 250mph?
You don't. You keep it on the racetrack.
This will make it much easier to keep things up to date.

The Concorde wing is static, except for the obvious movable control surfaces. Does not change shape in flight.
F-111 Mission Adaptive Wing (MAW). Flight test results here
No, not just changing the sweep as in a normal -111, -14, B-1, Mig-27 or Blackjack, but rather the shape of the wing changes as needed.
Yes, dear...you'll never, ever drive. You'll live in the big city forever and ever.
Then why the fuck do you want a flying car?
JL...you took offense at something I said long ago. Something very benign. Unbunch your panties, and get over it.

My GOD! They've even invaded the Post Office
Hell..I can't keep up with these fools either. The only solution I fear, is the #4 loon mallet. Yes...I said the #4. This is a serious case.
