I actually wouldn't be surprised if microsoft limits IE to intranet and local(mshelp,iewidgets,vista's XML interface etc) use only. I really don't see any benefits for MS developing a web browser for external uses. Why continue patching IE when mozilla is being developed for free.
Because wow came out 8 months before there was a chinese client. And 90% of wow isn't reading. 90% wow is farming faction rep, gold for you epic mount, or pvp honour points. Then end game instances are raided with 10 people, you don't need communication with 10 people in an instance designed for 5, its just one big zerg fest. Only time you need communication is in end game raid instances, but thats all done with voice communications.
Farmers don't run end game instances, there's no point. They ninja a BOP armour that sells for to vendor for what? 5g? 5g in a 1 to 2 hour instance run is quite low considering anyone can solo run SM and make 10g in a hour. More than likely it was someone who doesn't speak english and there was miscommunication and they rolled on a bop while everyone else passed. Of course i don't get why people pass on BOPs when there's already looting system built into the game. Use the buit in looting system or master looter, passing is so stupid and takes too much time. Usually 3 to 5 while people get confused which item is up for rolling.
Umm you mean adwords. Adsense is for content providers, adwords is for advertisers. They also don't offer deals(least publicly) since its a pay per click system. Higher price your willing to pay insures a better placement. System wouldn't work if lower price(ignoring click through ratio) could get higher spots depending on how much you spend. And localized search in google, its based off IP. But you knew that right? Just like you knew the product name?
You do have every right to modify software for your own use. Your saying I can't flip some bits on my harddrive? Of course I can. I can patch software, do anything i want to it. GPL is copyright license and not EULA. It can only grant rights, default rights to copyright protection is no distribution, there is nothing under copyright law that says I can't modify the art that i legally aquired. EULAs are the only way to prevent people from modifying your software(not counting DMCA and copy protection). Maybe you should understand copyright laws. Just because its the GPL, it still has the exact same rights granted to commercial software under the copyright laws. I like to see Microsoft or Sun claim copyright violations(not EULA) because you're using ASP, JSP, or EJB in your applications, they'd get laughed out of court.
Thats if you distribute the GPL code. If you use the code internally to violate people's privacy, you are disributing GPL code and therefore aren't bound to copyright license terms.
User created webservices and webpages that use an GPL application to run don't fall under the scope of copyright law. There's no way a company or anyone can demand copyright compliance for this action. Only way they can get some sort of licensing agreement in here is with a EULA.
Umm no.. Music stations on XM or Sirius do not have commercials. XM used to be they removed them about 2 years ago to better compete with Sirius The talk radio stations have commercials on XM because they are syndicated and live, gotta fill something in there.
You just found the achilles ankle of GPL. As long as gpl works off just a copyright licenses with no protections from EULA(like eula would be even enforceable). It can never get enforced, first sale rights triumps the GPL agreement or any other copyright license. Not only does your scenario show the flaws, check out this scenario. I buy a redhat cd, make a bunch of changes. Diff the binaries and make a patch. I can release the patch and not release the source changes i did since I'm not making copies of the GPL code. I could even in theory distribute a device with an unchange version linux and have it run my patch on first boot. This would be much like adding pages to a book a reselling it. Of course slashbotter wouldn't think highly of it. And before people flame me, this post isn't pro or anti GPL. Its just a logical look of copyright laws that exist today and how companies had to add EULAs(though most got thrown out of court) to cover things protected under first sale rights.
There was a show on the history channel or discovery channel about driving. They used cameras to monitor a tax drivers is some big metro area. Its quite funny the bad habits they have like not checking their blind spot but instead set their mirrors way out and move their head towards it to change the viewing angle. Cabby made a great point about how to tell the bad drivers from good drivers on the road, check to see where their hands are at on the steering wheel. If they have both hands in 10 o'clock and 2'oclock position, they are probably bad drivers. Quite ironic since they teach you this in drivers ed.
I disagree. Modern day cars with traction control prevent you front doing stupid stuff. They have throttle cut off if you try to accelerate through a corner and car detects too much lateral movement compared to the direction of the driving steering. Hit a patch of ice on that turn, now your car will start applying brakes in order to correct maintain direction in which the driving is steering. Innovation is just happening for control, its also happening for safety. New mercedes will detect that your car is out control and start pretensioning the seat belts(actually pulling up slack). The new adaptive cruise control, the ones that base the speed on the car infront, actually keep you a safe distance back where you can actualy stop in time. New brakes system that detect the time difference between when you pull your foot off the gas and apply pressure to brake system so it can detect emergency stop and apply full brake pressure will save critical time and stopping distance avoiding an accident.
On the history channel last night they had modern marvels: america's freeways. The new snowplows in california, the driver can drive by a monitor screen, all they have do is keep a red bar between two dots which represent the lane. This is done in 0 visibility whiteout conditions by the use magnetic markers place in roads.
The lane detection system that alert when you leave your lane is a stepping stone to car that can actually steer themselves. Combine that with developments made in collision detection system that apply brakes faster than a driver react and existing adaptive cruise control, and you got a car that can drive itself. A car that drives itself will greatly reduce fatalities especially ones involving alcohol or tired drivers.
As for reckless drivers. There's nothing that prevent that and every generation will have them. I still see people in old beaters driving 95+ down the freeway weaving in an out of traffic.
Thats because your 20 year sports car has lot less inertia and probably better road tires than your SUV which has hybrid offroad/road tires. Antilock brakes only goes off when your tires skid. Tires skidding = longer stopping distance. And not only that, you lose control. There's video of a viper which doesn't have antilock breaks driving canyon roads for some car tv show. The driver locks up before a corner, goes off the cliff. We are talking about a professional driver in a car that can pull 1g corner on a skid pad.
Only problem with antilock brakes is that freaks out the driver since they feel a pumping sensation on the breaks and sometimes they release pressure on the brake
They could turn off IE support for WMF which would prevent all the exploits. I don't see any reason why IE should render a WMF file. Make the user download it and click it. If they are stupid enough to do that, they're probably stupid enough to click an.exe or.pif.

Because microsoft invented XMLHTTPRequest object's interface. I don't know about you, but i think the inventor should set the standards.

Penny's are zinc not copper.
konqueror and KDE? KParts relies on konqueror and kparts integral to the operation of applications written specifically for KDE.
IPSec on windows2003 lets define rules for outgoing packets. I wonder if that will make it to vista's desktop version.

Notice these results are local to you.

Thats funny because i remember Ebay blaming sun for their outtages a while back which costs ebay millions of dollars.
So when microsoft doesn't follow W3 specs, its because they aren't a standard organization?

Vipers don't come with antilock brakes(well didn't not sure about the new ones).

All T&A on computers/tvs ends up as "digital" entertainment.
I didn't read the article but from my understanding of the Microsoft's FAT patent, its on extended names longer than 8 characters, I believe.
