    It's not about fighting fair, it's about making your opinions appear to be worth listening to. Childish misspellings make the whole argument seem childish.

    And in an astounding piece of dumbheadedness, Windows retains that one pixel edge in a few places.

    Maximize a windows (IE will work) and move to the slider on the right-hand side. You have to carefully move in a couple of pixels from the edge to hit it.

    My former employer, a very large areospace company, was at one time very very much against any software that wasn't back by a "stable corporation".

    The excuse was that if something went wrong, my company could sue the pants off the software provider. Of course, they almost never did that - instead, they just wouldn't pay the bills until the provider complied with company demands.


    I hear this a lot but has anyone ever actually sued a software provider?
