The official GMail blog says "over the next few days." I'm hoping mine is activated soon, using POP on the iPhone was driving me nuts with having to mark mail as read twice.
All of the jpg's that we looked at in the internet cache folders were of the 5, 6 and 15 kB size, very small images indeed. Normally, when a person goes to a pornographic website they are interested in the larger pictures of greater resolution and those jpgs would be at least 35 kB and larger. We found no evidence of where this kind of surfing was exercised on October 19, 2004.
Actually, that's the reason I don't really have any intention of buying Halo 3 (unless it's from the bargain bin). The single player didn't have enough game play, and the story was left hanging in a way that made it seem they just chopped the game in half. The multiplayer content at release was buggy, and obviously hadn't been properly tested/tuned (grabbing objects through walls? seriously?). Add in Bungie's inability to write good netcode (whether this was due to limitations of the x-box hardware or not I do not know) and you end up with a game that was over-hyped and then released as an unfinished product.
I'll buy it a couple months after release in the pre-owned bin at the local gamestop or off e-bay. Hopefully that'll give them enough time to patch the multiplayer like they did a few months into Halo 2.
If it weren't for battery and bandwidth issues I'm sure the spare processing power of most mobile phones would be put to good use by Folding@Home or any of the other distributed computing projects.
It seems to assume that employers would actually lower the cost of their products instead of pocketing the increased revenue. Sure competition in some markets would weed them out, but I imagine most companies would try to keep their price points the same and pass the tax back to the consumers.
The real shame is that the ones these statements are designed to influence probably don't know that much about OSS, SCO, or anything else that would clue them in to the FUD. That's the problem with open letters, unless published in the right place you won't reach your intended audience.
So who wants to buy a full page ad in a trade magazine or national newspaper?
"the pirates gleefully reminded the movie company that they didn't live in America, but rather in the land of vikings, reindeer, Aurora Borealis and cute blond girls."
I'm moving. Vikings, blonde girls, AND pirates? Irresistible!
This is by far the most interesting comment here. We know most manufacturers are shipping almost all new machines with Vista, and knowing that suggests that either the 60 Mil number in the article (which reads like a blog entry) is wrong, or the 40 Mil number doesn't actually include the OEM sales. The question remains, who is actually buying it? I don't know anyone who is running it that actually purchased it. And only have a single friend that has a copy on his new laptop.
I do the same thing, annoying people that look over my shoulder is a good byproduct. Now if only I could make them stop actually touching the screen when they want to point at something...
I haven't been home to patch my windows box yet, but I'd suspect it would have more to do with the possibility of malware setting the default browser to something else. Most firefox users are likely going to hit the icon they normally do, see the default browser pop-up and re-confirm.
Or it simply wasn't tested on systems with firefox as was mentioned.

Wasn't this the plot of a Doctor Who episode not too long ago?
You're hoping for a happy ending? I believe that's 50 grand extra.

While I agree the OO port was lackluster (I use Office on mine), I have yet to have any problems with the OS X version of the GIMP.
It says in the summary that neither the mother nor child had heard of file sharing. So maybe not?
And it took them 2 years to drop a case because of bad PR? It's far more likely that she really was innocent at this point.

But how many of the 600 planned releases are high quality porn?
I guess they didn't have telephones either?

At least on OS X we have Camino, though whenever I use it I miss some of my extensions from Firefox.

To be fair, your mom isn't too shabby at social engineering.

Where are these 40 million people?
Exactly, we don't need every article that reports this same story.
Dupe dupe dupity dupe.
As an electrical engineer I'd like to think I make a wonderful mythologist and astrophysicist.
Mostly mythologist though.

I've noticed this as well. "I'm saying something pro-Microsoft on Slashdot! MY KARMA IS BURNING!"
Most of the time they're modded up if they actually have a point.
Objects blah blah blah blah
They fear the power of C, obviously.
If it's A then it makes me wonder about the M$ adverts that have been at the tops of articles lately.
Hey look! A newspaper!
Their message board was up? I think reading it will be much more entertaining than the comments here!
You know, switching the words doesn't exactly make your snarky turn-around analogy make sense.
