OK, I couldn't help it, I had a look in it;). I <promotion type="shameless" subject="self">bloated it</promotion> and it seems to just contain an EXE which gets run (so I'm safe from it):
[dave@tc4 ~/sbc_netscape]$ ls install.js sbc_netscape.exe
I've just seen it (or another one) - I'm assuming it's spyware as it's randomly asking me to install it. Don't want to make a hyperlink to it (so I won't), but it's at <http://www2.flingstone.com/cab/sbc_netscape.xpi>. No idea what it does.
I might have a look when I've done this mock I'm about to start.
Supplemental results do come from a second store, yes:
Hey, pages get added to the supplemental index using automatic algorithms. You can imagine a lot of useful criteria, including that we saw a url during the main crawl but didn't have a have a chance to crawl it when we first saw it.
Think of this as icing on the cake. If there's an obscure search, we're willing to do extra work with this new experimental feature to turn up more results. The net outcome is more search results for people doing power searches.
No one I know uses MSN or Y!. 100% of everyone uses AIM so I really don't understand how you figure that MSN and Y! are better.
Except nobody I know uses AIM. I hardly even bother signing into AIM any more; I have about 2 people on my contact list in AIM, both of which also use MSN. Hell, I have more contacts on Jabber than I do on AIM. On the other hand, all my friends who use IMs use MSN. Anecdotal evidence isn't conclusive, there are many MSN users in the world.
Eh? A fork in a road is where a road splits into two; each going in different directions. A fork in a software project is the same. I don't see why a fork in software "requires secret proprietary source code and copyrighted functions and pantented methods".
(Not that I consider the redhat kernels to be a fork)
The interface has been in beta for a couple of months now, only being viewable to people who get sent a cookie from Google (or who otherwise stick the cookie in) - which would explain why you didn't see it in IE. You didn't have the cookie.
Many ad companies already do use location targetted ads - I often see Sainsbury's, Switch etc ads on US sites. Of course this isn't 100% foolproof, but it did even work with my old (pre-RIPE) IP.

What functionality do you need which isn't taken care of by, e.g., Acme in GNOME?
I believe the parent meant literally on the shelves, rather than as a figure of speech...

I think they check their DB for similar terms with far more results.
The above is from GoogleGuy in this thread on WebmasterWorld.

Actually, I have seen (what I guess is) spyware attempt to install itself via Firefox, using a .xpi. Can't remember what it was called though.

Just a quick correction: the code did fork. From XFree86 4.4 RC2, IIRC.

If you're using a recent version of PuTTY I'd recommend using dynamic port forwarding, and setting that up as a SOCKS proxy in your browser etc.
Hell, you don't even need that article. See Google Toolbar's privacy policy.
Nope, I highly doubt it (but IANAL), but it's still breaking the seal...
That is still breaking the seal, I believe.
PS1? ePSXe.
But there could easily be financial damage; see for example Qt (TrollTech licence it for money for use in closed projects) and MySQL (same as Qt).
AFAIK Windows Update uses ActiveX, so you need to use IE anyway.
Note: I don't often deal with Windows Update, being a Linux user myself, so I could well be wrong.

Not seen YaST then? Looks quite a bit like the WinXP screenshot you linked to, as in organised into major groups, then further divided.
In fact, I'll go out on a limb here and say IHBT, as the KDE config stuff is very different to the screenshots you linked to.
In what way is Skype not VOIP? It provides Voice over Internet Protocol, which seems to satisfy the requirements of calling something "VOIP".
It requires player support, so no. I highly doubt Xine/Ogle/MPlayer will implement Macrovision.
