I'm guessing they will be forced to offer the crippled version on EU store shelves. Whats to stop people from buyin the full OS over the internet though?
When Microsoft is forced to behave everywhere _except_ the United States, then they will end up having to behave in the USA as well.
As much as I want to believe that I find it hard to. M$ will find a way around anything. I wouldn't be surprised if M$ starts selling to a middle man in America and that middle man sells to other countries. That way they still get their full OS out everywhere. But I donno. They will find some loop hole.
This isn't standing up to "America" this is standing up to an American company that thinks it can buy its way out of anything. M$ bought its way out with our government yes however I'm happy to see its not working in EU. Good job so far.
it has to do with software support more. I finally talked my parents into letting me dual boot their system just so they can try linux. They like the fact that they don't have to worry about all these e-mail worms going around. Only real question they had was "will my saved word/excell files work on linux?" "Sure with Open Office", I replyed.
I think that if you could goto your local computer store and their software section has as large of linux selection as windows then it will help mega tons.
Yeah yeah I understand you can just download most of linux software for free however most people don't know this due to the M$ brainwashing effect.
If there was a nice GUI for Gentoo that would an image of each package when searching/listing it would help new people.
What you're missing is there will be a fix for this within 24-48 hours. If this was in windows the fix would be kept quiet for who knows how long and if the hole goes public then it would take 1+ months for MS to put out a fix.
How long did it take them to put out a fix for the IE URL Spoofing Vulnerability? Read up bud: IE URL Spoofing Vulnerability
Changelog:
2003-12-11: Linked to test. Added information regarding variant, which makes it possible to spoof URL in the status bar as well.
2003-12-14: Microsoft has issued a knowledge base article concerning the issue. This also reports that version 5.x is affected.
2003-12-19: Scams mails exploiting the vulnerability are now circulating the Internet.
2004-02-02: Microsoft issues patches. Added CVE reference.
Almost 2 whole months for people to get exploites in the SPAM e-mail.
"He said that he expects Microsoft to buy Linux any time soon"
That right there makes me believe he doesn't "know his way around computers" or at least OSS land. Linux isn't owned by anyone this it can't be bought. Closes MS could get to buying Linux is to give money to each and ever person that uses it on their systems or at least every person that contributed code. Then those people would have to sign over their code. It can't/won't happen.
I don't like rackspace. We have all their ip's blocked due to spam. If someone hosting on their network wants mail though my servers they have to contact me and I'll allow just their server though.
Same goes for rackshack.net (aka ev1.net aka ev1servers.net)
Wow.. I live alone and my monthly electric bill runs $35-$45 (28-36 EUR) in the winter. However I have gas heat so my gas bill goes rom $3 in the summer to $50 in the winter. Either way I'm still getting out dirt cheep compaired to some other people like my parents.
BTW I own a condo and not a house. Thats why its so low.

I know a few women that play Q3 and can woop my ass hands down. I think its sweet (in a kinky cool way). I've also noticed that unlike most guys (or maybe just young boys) Women don't get the stuck-up "I'm better then you so shut-up" attitude.
My chick is all into playin PS2 or *cough* Xbox games like mad but I've tried to get her to try Counter-Strike and/or Quake3 but she just won't do it.. kinda bums me out.

Maybe you should go back to school and learn to speak and type before posting...
Lets see yours...
Didn't the tortoise win in the end? If I remember right the Hare thought it was such a badass that it fulled around and ended up losing.
BTW I hope though gets though as Cable & Wireless in Chicago seems to be having problems (again) and

I took SCO's dropdown menu code from their website.. think I'll get sued for taking their "intellectual properties rights"?
UNIX isn't open source and SCO clames code was taken from "SCO UNIX" and put into the open source Linux kernel...

I agree.. I think CRTs still have a much better picture. It seems that LCD's just don't have that small dot pitch yet like CRT's do.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong.. But the website says:
Complete Multifunction Tuning:
* HDTV WONDER will function as both a HDTV tuner and an analog tuner

Learn to configure it maybe? Sorry if its not up to your "point and click" configuration standards yet.
He's pissed because he paied all that money to get his MCSE and it didn't get him anywhere. Bummer... :)
ie6 has it fixed so they obviously wen't trough their stuff to fix it.
:)
How many new bugs will ie6 bring? My brain will buffer overflow if I count that high.
I haven't used a GOTO since the days of Basic programming. Is windows writtin in Basic? :)
