Advertisers aren't the only people who can use the "net send" command to send messages. You can just as easily write a quick front-end to execute this program and pop-up messages to people across the network.
That's why you use a windows update server on your local network and keep a technet subscription ready. Doing it that way also saves on the bandwidth and traffic you might otherwise go through.
I agree, at my "educational institute," we are always trying to find ways to escape out of the restrictions they put on us (which are quite stupid sometimes). eg. only ports 80 and 113 (SSL) are open, www.hotmail.com is blocked (but not hotmail.com). By letting port 80 though, programs like HTTPort can tunnel through (unless your proxy/firewall doesn't support normal proxy CONNECT messages).
You may be able to block the win32 client, but that does not stop employees from using services like http://www.wbmsn.com/ (MSN) or http://go.icq.com/ (ICQ) for their IM needs.
Alternatively, a mass block of Microsoft's IP address range(s) should help stop people being able to connect (and you'll also kill hotmail, passport and a lot of other of their useless services with the same stone).
It's also bad if you use a keyboard alot - You've got Konquerer, Kmail and now Kroupware. You want to get to Kroupware, you have to hit 'K' THREE TIMES!
I agree that there should be new content. However, Valve are releasing this primarily (or so they want) across their Steam network. So it's probably to test the content delivery (of video) across Steam or to try and get more people to download and use Steam, rather than actually providing new content.
(Besides, for those of us who are too poor to download the 600meg beast, this is a nicer alternative).
Valve sure knows how to publicise this product well. Releasing heaps of high-quality video every so often and using their Steam service to distribute it (which gets a heck of a lot of CS beta players (and people who were too cheap to buy HL 5 years ago)).
Valve have stolen the spotlight from Doom3 and will impress everybody, no matter what id software pulls from it's magical hat.
I just hope that id isn't dumb enough to release D3 at the same time that Valve releases HL2 (which they hinted at last yeat). In a 1v1, there is no competition.

I hope that was a joke. I don't think there will ever be a windows version of iTunes. ...or any other iApp for that matter.
Good! If apple keeps the good software on it's platform (well, partially theirs) then it's more of a hook for the marketplace.

Anybody want to rally outside VALVe Sept.30 and invade the offices should they not deliver?
I didn't get it for my ibook and i've never needed to use it.
Sure, my ibook has taken a lot of damage, but AppleCare doesn't cover any of that.

When it comes to computer hackers, the simple storage of files can start to cost millions of dollars for some reason.

Well all they had to do was port over the loader, the data files are exactly the same. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to port over the expansions.

Strange, I sent an email off and got a response within a couple of days.
I suppose that if you sent it to the wrong department then it would take *much* longer.
But if you follow it up with masses of "C'moooooooon" they generally just give in.
Did Gates ever concider that the other 95% of that statistic don't send in the error reports beacuse they know that other information it sends.
4. Novell the previous *real* owner of UNIX.
5. AT+T the current *real* owner of UNIX. You would think that with something this valuable, these companies would actually know who owns it.
Yeah, *real* until they sold their rights to SCO ages ago.
8. The GPL. That horrid group of words that makes this all really interesting. Its effects are somewhere between smallpox and cholera.
Where a BSD license couldn't go wrong.
... or OpenDarwin
I did, but I just realised that you meant save as html (which is different from save as web page).
That not only requires a nice big plugin download (that bitch ain't small), but it's also ActiveX and IE only.
I thought they only had one person on that team?
Also, their official response to wanting to run freebsd on a ppc was, "buy a mac," wasn't it?
From the title of the story it seems like we can only run Linux on these chips?
What's wrong with putting a / between other OS's?
Besides, won't this thing be able to run NetBSD and OpenBSD as well (as Linux and AIX)?
I'm sure that any geek will be able to rig up some balls that explode if you give them enough power ;)
I still like the fact that I can play the classic Doom on my Nokia 7650.
Now, if I could just find a Quake port...
Oooooh, $1k, but only for those with MSN6. I guess that they have automatically excluded all Mac users from this promo.
I also like how they decided to add that extra few paragraphs about how MSN is so good with it's advanced smilies.

Yes, but compression is quite good these days isn't it?
