And the damn thing is, you end up with piles of crap in your memory on boot-up that you never will use, but they include "Just In Case" so if you do fire up apps they appear to just start right up, unlike those clunky competitors products.
In all fairness, the 2 'competitor's products' that MS were proposing to bundle with Windows, Quicktime and RealPlayer for Windows, are 2 of the clunkiest apps ever to grace the computer screen. Why, only today I was playing a high quality.mov with Quicktime and their shoddy custom interface was flickering on me, unable to refresh fast enough. MS including those products would probably get MORE people using Windows Media Player, because it actually is better:-)
This article doesn't hold much weight for me, on the very same day that I read in AlJazeera.net English that Microsoft are porting a load of their Office software to Hindi. Proprietary software manufacturers like MS *are* in fact porting their software to lots of different languages. Some, like Magix, even seem to only offer software in other languages like German (yuch)!
Inform me when you find a decent email client for Windows, other than Outlook (Express), that allows for use of one Local Mail tree for all POP3 accounts.
Um, I think that's bullshit. Asking Kerz (who basically thought of the name) in the Mozilla devs channel, I was told that 'Firefox' shall REMAIN the name of the browser. Hopefully, with a passing wind.
It could be argued that introducing expensive, overly territorial lawsuits which only have a limited chance of winning is illegal in regards to increasing shareholder value.
That's why I said non-thinkers. Certainly, not people who think enough to go out there and do some research before plunging their money into stock. Why are there so many morons like that investing in these companies anyway?
If there are these talented people at Real, why don't they do and work for Winamp? I'd say it could do with some extra staff, and the rather minimal team there have come up with a pretty kickass streaming audio and video client in Winamp 5.01 as it is.
On Mars, with the presence of gravity, this bulky, massive suit would just be plain useless.
Are you sure that the suits wouldn't still have to be pressurized? Although Mars has an atmosphere, of sorts, I read somewhere that it's *incredibly* thin compared to Earth's... sonething like 0.01% of the density. Not being a physiscist, I don't know, but wouldn't that cause problems?
I'm sorry, I know that technically the plural of virus is 'virus', but that just sounds wrong. I think it may be time we officially invented a new word for the plural of virus, be that viruses or viri. My brain is conditioned to reading 'virus' as only ever singular, so please use a pluralised form in future. (no troll intended)
"You want this proxy adapted to log all transactions from anyone sending a POST request to slashdot? sure, no problem, our engineers will spend a few months incorporating that into the product for you"
If it takes them a few months to incorporate that into a proxy, I don't think they should be working as Cisco engineers.
I mean consider it, how long until the Warz sites stop offering the "full image" of products and start offering an encrypted image fragment. That fragment would be 99.9% of the actual image
They already do that; it's called eDonkey/Overnet.
Well, I think it's pretty pathetic what the US cable companies are doing.

This session i've uploaded 784MB so far, some sessions I download over 1000MB. My DSL ISP has never given me ANY hassle about it:-) I'm in the UK. My attitude is that if they offer you xKbit/sec, they should assume that some users will use 100% of that bandwidth all the time. If they don't, they're not selling bandwidth, but a chunk of data transfer.

(1) UK buyers used to get cheap (to us) CDs from the US Amazon site. That stopped when amazon.co.uk hit the scene, and Amazon US started refusing to ship overseas.
Huh? As someone living in the UK, my last few bargain purchases have been from Amazon.com US. I just went to Amazon.com and sure enough, they still offer me international shipping to the UK. Did you simply assume that Amazon.com US had refused to ship stuff internationally?

Unfortunately, Mozilla's e-mail client does not allow for use of one Local Mail tree for all POP3 accounts.

Try telling that to SCOX investors.

Non-programmer, non-lawyer, non-thinker...

Please don't let the high quality of factual reporting by the BBC revert to tabloid sensationalism.
You say that as if the quality of BBC news reporting has recently enjoyed a rise in quality, when in fact the opposite has been true, if anything.

To ununpentium or to not ununpentium... that is the question. I think?!

Microsoft Violates Human Rights in China
So they've started doing it over there now, have they?

I got a 'server full' message a few times, so just in case that site gets Slashdotted, here's a mirror.
There isn't any margin in a $300 PC for support.
No? Don't they support PCs with Windows installed then?
Oh yeah, I guess you could run windows on your AMD XP XXXX+ and use Windows Movie Maker...not!
...
No, maybe not. Ya see, Windows Movie Maker is the 'Notepad' of movie editing on Windows.
But you could use Magix video deLuxe PLUS, Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004, Sony Screenblast Movie Studio, Ulead Videostudio, Pinnacle Studio, Roxio VideoWave Movie Creator

Great. Maybe Slashdot could consider using it...
would you prefer Michael Howard in control of the country
Yes.
or John Major
Yes.
or Ken Livingstone?
NO. God, no.
If you had taken time to study the English language, you would know that you are neither competent nor particularly coherent when speaking it.
