You talk the talk on Interoperability but let's cut to the chase of the matter. Microsoft software only has the APPEARANCE of functionality with non Microsoft software.
Examples?
How about your broken LDAP implementation, which leads to a broken AD implementation. Oh, wait. You MEANT to design it liks that?
Front Page. Yeah. Right. Ever try to configure Front Page on an Apache Server? I know, you provide some broken ass extensions with a lame assed install script. That's why RTR Software has to release the FIXED version.
IE. Riiight. We wont go there. Or maybe we will. Let me give you a hint, Bill. Firefox. I won't say FF is perfect - but it's a damn sight better than that broken old clunker you call a browser.
When you get right down to it, Microsoft software will ONLY work with Microsoft software. The MOMENT you hook it to something NON Microsoft, your engineers get squirrly, say "That's not a supported configuration" and walk away. Nice. Now not only do we have something broken, but we now don't have support from the company THAT HOLDS THE SOURCE CODE AND KNOWS HOW THE HELL IT WORKS.
Bill. I'm tired of rebooting to install a patch. I'm tired of crappy software. I just beat out a competitor on a bid for a medium sized company WAN. Guess what they were quoting. You guessed it. M$. Guess what I quoted. It wasn't M$.
Guess what else. I'm aggressively selling AGAINST your software. But I'm not selling SOFTWARE. I'm selling my install services for GPL based software. And making much, much more than I would have ever made if I'd been a M$ "Partner".
One solution, though not as portable as throwing it in the trunk of your car, is what my local co-lo company does. They have what looks like an IV stand (5 legs with wheels). On it they've mounted an LCD panel, and a keyboard with built in touch mouse. They mounted a UPS (APC 1000) on the legs/w wheels. You want to use it, grab it, unplug it, hit the alarm silence button and wheel it over to your server. When youre done, wheel it back, plug it back in and leave.
Their older "crash cart" has a monitor in a rolling cabinet, but it needs power from an AC plug.
Why not get one of those Compaq(HP) 1U keyboard/mouse/display units to carry around. Of course, thats nice if $$ is no worry.
Maybe, we're just at the point where the flashing "click here to win" gets so annoying that we block the offending site.
Or, maybe it's because Firefox makes it so you dont end up with a fake looking Windoze dialog box with the fake X that when u click on it opens 55 popup windows.
Or maybe it's because Firefox blocks the "Ad Chains" where you go to an ad infested site, and it resizes all of your browser windows, then opens 43 popup windows going to all different sites.
Diablo LOD has ALWAYS been ignored for the most part by Blizzard. How long did everyone wait for the 1.10 patch? My point. How much will they put in to WoW? I dont know but i'm not wasting my money to find out.
instead of standing/sitting next to a drunk wino in the same subway car, I can sit in someone's snail trails that ended up there because of the "privacy" of that thing. Or better yet, that little enclosed capsule+some guy who just ate chili=private fart chamber. Nice. I get to sit there and smell his colon.
If (re)elected, what will you do for the country in way of patent reform? With businesses big and small snapping up patents for COMMON and already public domain ideas/systems/methods only to use said patents for the purpose of preventing competition (i.e. Monopolistic Behavior), or suing everyone to make a quick buck - the system is obviously broken and no longer protects - but stifles innovation.
Some patents include (and there are thousands more, some even better examples)
Task List Patent: "Use of a Task List generated from a "TODO" list" (Microsoft P#6,748,582)
URL and Domain Name Patented: "Method , apparatus and business system for online communication with online and offline recipients" (Nizza Group, P# 6,671,714)
Email Forwarding Patented: " Systems and methods for automatically forwarding electronic mail when the recipient is otherwise unknown " (Mail Registry, Inc. P# 6,427,164)

*shrug* nothing to see here. Move along.
I use CentOS for several clients and my own servers. It is a solid OS, the CentOS team does an outstanding job of getting patches in a timely manner.
I've NEVER had a compatibility issue with CentOS vs. RedHat.
I also used Whitebox, and have no complaints about it either.

you cannot search for dirty pics like you can on Google/Yahoo/Altavista

Now not only will I not get an iPod, I will no longer dream about them in my sleep (as if!)
This DRM shit is getting on my nerves.
You, sir, are my hero.
Is that the thing thar InterWeb(tm) runs on?
WTF.
I do agree, with the parent on the last thing he said.
Mozilla will NOT cut it until I can manage it by Group Policies.

Users are speaking. We're taking back the web.
Never Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever Ever test on the live system. period.
You know .. this is a BAD idea.
It is bad for the Internet (increased traffic), and if the "spammer" is legit and in a co-lo facility, it's bad for the others who are co-located..
At least I'm brave enough to not post as an A/C.

Coward.
As bad as they've let Diablo II, LOD get - I will NOT purchase another Blizzard game, as long as I shall live unless they can prove to me that
1) charging for the games will eliminate
a) spam bots
b) duping
c) botting
d) general cheating
2) they will keep the community informed
3) they will update and fix bugs on a timely manner
>>I apologise if this sounds pretty harsh, but I'm pissed off with the lack of professionalism or objectivity on this site.
You MUST be new here. Welcome to Slashdot.
May I suggest,
Frozen Bubble - ported to Windows with a nice installer?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbe-win32/
Now you can view your collection of porn, and play frozen bubble, too!

Have they thought this through yet?
Some computers it's helped a lot..
.. nasty.
.. SP2 took 3 hours to install and made the machine slower than molasses.
Some computers
My P2-366 laptop (192mb ram, 6g drive) running XP-SP1 is not too bad
I'm staying away from it for most of my network centric clients..
I just got the last release compiled! Now I gotta do it again???
Sigh..
Ok .. I lied...Not a couple reasons to switch FROM winamp..Just one thing..
.. oh wait..
WowThing from SRSLabs (Yes, you can still find it out there).
It takes the llama, turns him sideways and shoves him straight up
It IS cool though..
the spoiler? its not worth the time or effort - the XBox has too little memory to be effective at really anything...
Definately a waste of money. Big waste. yeah.
Fuck! We broke google..
