    You shouldn't use MS products for such a critical system.

    What? It was a unix system?

    Must have been a hardware failure then.

    Well, if they have a few rules for file scanning, then they're protecting you from more viruses than they have definitions for, if you think about it...

    I must know, do they release the draw bridge to make the monster fall into the lava so they can rescue princess toadstool? I can't bare to wait for it to show up in theaters!

    Do you understand how graphics work?

  18. Re:Justice for whom? on Microsoft Not Out Of Anti-Trust Hot Water · · Score: 1

    I know why they failed to take the desktop. It's plain to them, it's plain to me, it's plain to everybody. They didn't have the support needed to compete with Apple, or Microsoft, or even Linux at the time. I don't recall suggesting Microsoft, or anyone else, owed them that support.

    What is this infamous "password?"

    Everyone's always talking about it, but noone will ever tell me!

    That law shouldn't take into account how many people were hurt, only whether or not people were hurt. The law is charged with providing justice for all.

  21. Re:Justice for whom? on Microsoft Not Out Of Anti-Trust Hot Water · · Score: 1

    Another person fails to communicate how Be deserved to face unfair market competition in a monopoly controlled market. I don't care if it was MS or Apple, they weren't given their fair chance, and that undermines the basis of capitalism.

  22. Re:Justice for whom? on Microsoft Not Out Of Anti-Trust Hot Water · · Score: 1

    You're alleging that the Be OS was inferior to Microsoft's Windows in every concievable way? Because if you are, then I can see where you wouldn't mind that Be wasn't allowed any segment of the market, but if you don't actually mean that, then it doesn't make much sense. Different operating systems fulfill different needs. The Be OS did stand a chance, not to displace MS on the desktops, but perhaps for specialty purposes that it's still employed for today.

    This is what I hate about Anonymous discussions, how does one tell if all the comments made aren't by the same person?

    But it will, repeatedly, attempt to make itself the default browser for accessing the internet.

  25. Re:Found the answer to my own problem on Free Software As Nigerian Scam · · Score: 1

    That was unexpected. Firebird displayed the alternative text and IE refused to run it as it was a potential ActiveX exploit... On a related topic, isn't it worrisome to users when a program can be exploited by reading a raw data format? I mean, hasn't it occured to Gates, Ballmer, and the rest of Redmond that calling your OS secure when it can be rooted by playing a .wav is just a little silly?
