Don't want to start a flame war but this is plain misinformation. The 2 Indian states having a Christian majority are not the results of US evangelical christians. Not many know that Christianity has been flourishing in Inda since the year 52 AD even before the western nations had heard of Christ. It began with the arrival of St Thomas(yes, the doubting disciple of Christ). Also let it be known that these states are the ones that now provide for the majority of Roman Catholic priests a tribe which is facing a crunch in numbers in the first world. Many people, including indians, wrongly believe that Christainity started with the British colonial rule. These beliefs are all the more exploited by policital parties which have no developement agenda and just want to grab power. And it is true India does not receive aid from the US. It rejected the US offer for help during the tsunami crisis.

the market. Strange indeed. A far cry from what used to happen earlier. The competition from better alternatives like Firefox and Opera is showing its effect.
First they ignore you.
Then they ridicule you
Then they laugh at you
Then they copy you
Maybe now Mozilla guys can move on to adding more new features to the browser now that tabbed browsing is going to be the norm. Heck, how else can I say to the guy sitting next to me whats cool abt mozilla;)
If its true, though there is no reason to believe you, I think he is better that way. I have met many so called 'OO' guys and believe me they dont know what they are talking about. At least this guy knows what the OS needs and how to manage the project. Have seen many managers and most of them are DUMB.

What I meant was to have two digest sums. So you have the text message , the MD5(text) and SHA1(text). Then verify against both.

I am not a cryptographer but shouldn't it be possible to use MD5 and SHA-1 for the same piece of text together. How likely is the hash sum for a particular text to be cracked for both the algos and have the same modified text. Will it make it a bit more tougher to be cracked?
Write your viruses.
Sell your Anti virus package.
Nice business model indeed.
Attn: Virus writers. Your services will be needed soon by none other than MS.
I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't redesign their product to focus on 3 things: the kernel, the GUI, and the rest of the apps they ship with Windows. ....
The other thing they need to do is stop integrating software into the OS. I can't stress this enough. I don't want to have to worry about my entire OS being vulnerable because IE has been integrated into every possible aspect of my GUI. Keep it simple, keep it segmented in modules
They consiously took that decision. In a way good for Linux. And if you keep it simple how do the marketing guys tell you that its great stuff and that it can do this and that, blah blah.
Let them do their stuff. Let the Open source folks learn from their mistakes. Then may be some one will have write a book 'How not to write OS and programs' Then it can be renamed LongGone
Buying out people and their views seems to be the in-thing now for M$.
If somebody buys out M$ legal and marketing teams they would be left with nothing good. As it is their products suck.

Boy oh Boy. Billy boy must be fuming now.:) Linus must the virus that has badly infected Bill Gates than his Windows.
Frank and to the point. Thats whats has made Linus T the role model for many programmers in the Open..
If MS support Linux for any Desktop applications then it would be an admission that Linux is certainly better than MS windows. Would they like to kill their own baby? I doubt. Then would a linux distribution coming from MS be as reliable as the ones coming from say RedHat or Suse.? When MS is not able to manage it own windows releases properly (news of SP breaking compatibily or applications is not uncommon) can it swallow its ego and cooperate with Open Source developers? And more importantly, will Open Source developers be keen to support MS especially when MS has been trying to stifle Open source development spreading all kinds of FUD about open source.
Well virus for me stands for Very Inefficient and Really Useless System. And MS shit(s) fit the description. So i guess Bill can reward himself. That would be a nice way to save his money. Well (un)fortunately Windows cannot be saved for long.
This is good news indeed. As a linux programmer based in India, this certainly is more than a great news. All the more happy, just like many others out there, that Windows is being shown the door. Beleive it or not, the Open Source champions in India owe a lot of thanks to Bill Gates for this. If he hadn't come to India to make a publicity stunt of supporting the AIDS cause( ofcourse he is more worried about Linux than AIDS ) Linux would not have got so much attention in govt. circles and media as it does now. A few months ago any ordinary business man would know and talk only abt MS and Windows. Now he knows about Linux also. Now whenever the media talks MS it talks about Linux in the same breath. Free OS gets free publicity.

I agree. And in the hands of immature people it could turn out to be nuisance too. Check out this link http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/937 032.cms a shocking use of the cell phone.

For all u know the latest versions of windoze might have code stolen form the open source community.
