The Windows key is actually useful in windowing environments (not just Microsoft Windows), so I'd rather keep those. Feel free to get rid of the windows menu key, the one that simulates a right-click.
No, I'll just tell you that Windows Vista/7 has the Clipping Tool to take "screenshots" of arbitrary sections of the screen. Just make sure you you never toggle the setting to include the red outline marker thing in the captured screenshot.
I haven't had to manually enter an IP since I wanted to port forward. Does Windows 7 automagically know which ports are needed for incoming connections, and set that up on your router or modem?
No, unfortunately the application needs to support uPnP for that. Just like for any other operating system.
It still relies on flaky third-party "security" products to try to prevent virus infections (which simply don't ever happen with proper operating systems)
Actually, there's a first-party product for that now. Too bad Microsoft would be sued if they tried including it with Windows.
and it amazes me that software people don't understand the support lifetime that can really be required for software
You think we're going to throw out a $50k piece of equipment because Microsoft wants us to buy something with more eye candy?
No, I expect you to replace the $50k piece of equipment because it interfaces with a card that uses a motherboard connector that has been obsolete for 15 years, and hasn't appeared in new computers for 10 years.
The software support lifetime isn't the only thing you need to be concerned about.
I'd much rather be able to go to control panel and just click "Device Manager" but that's no longer an option (haven't tried the god mode stuff yet but it might fix this).
Device Manager doesn't have its own icon in 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 (instead being a button in the System applet).
And you'll get a color TV as soon as they "perfect the technology", right?
I hear they have this technology named Phase Alternating Line that fixes the color problems with NTSC. It will be introduced here in the United States "Real Soon Now" (tm).
It would not be in Joss' nature to simply ignore the movie, or jump back into the time before the events of the movie. He would truly be rebooting the series, not just resuscitating it.
Really? I'm pretty sure Joss did something like that when he started the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show. The even of the movie are largely ignored, even giving us the excuse that Buffy "set the gym on fire" in her last school as the pretext to moving to Sunnydale in the first episode.
Speaking of Vorkosigan, Bujold has finished a new book (CryoBurn) set when Miles is 39 (so, there's a jump of 7-8 years since Diplomatic Immunity), to be published by Baen late this year.
HTML was never designed to be a web application infrastructure and all the hacks in the world will never make it so. It just gets worse and more convoluted with each release.
Why would I want WPF on my Unix? Oh wait, I can't run it! It says my OS is not supported. Give me HTML or give me death.
The Mono WPF page heavily implies that Moonlight implements "a subset of WPF." Moonlight 2 isn't even a month old at this point.
So, ignoring your WPF Straw Man, it certainly sounds like Silverlight works on Linux at the very least. I wouldn't be surprised if it works on other OS X/11 or X.org implementations as well.
Note: I'm playing Devil's Advocate here; I actually think Silverlight is a complete waste of time.
Google would be over there adding proprietary features to Chrome/ChromeOS.
Er, "proprietary" as in "open-source under New BSD License"? And "Chrome/ChromeOS" as in "Native Client runs on 32-bit x86 systems that use Windows, Vista, Mac OS X, or Linux. Some ARM and x86-64 support is implemented in the source base, and we hope to make it available for application developers later this year"?
No, "proprietary" as in "not part of the HTML5 standard," which is what we're talking about (see the subject line).
The only mission statements I read are the ones that begin "Your mission, should you choose to accept it." and end with "This message will self-destruct in [some time period]."
Unfortunately, the claims you've quoted are basically how all online mapping applications work. Even mapping APIs, like Oracle MapsViewer (and Oracle Maps JS API).

"Achievements" has a positive connotation, so it's no surprise that bad things aren't on there.

Or get rid of Scroll Lock.
OK, you've described the Pause, Page Up, and Insert keys... weren't you supposed to describe SysRq?
That'd be a pretty stupid move. After all, guys pay more attention to things with nipples.
You could just...

This statement seems to imply that SP2 is coming out some time in the future, but it came out on June 30, 2009, a month prior to 7's early release.

If you're seeing UAC prompts on the machines on your business network, you need to take a good, hard look at your Active Directory setup.
Did. They did sell one, but they don't sell it any more. Hence the GP's post.

Unlike Summer Glau and Alan Tudyk, who have both taken into guest starring on Dollhouse.
Of course, with Dollhouse being canceled, Joss Whedon is going to have some free time coming up... it'd be nice if he'd push for a new Firefly series.

Removing extensions from Firefox is like replacing the wheels of a car with a single wheel in the middle, then hoping it doesn't tip over.
Turns out that SCO eventually let McBride go. Something about "losing millions of dollars," "pump and dump," and "lawsuits we can't win."
Well, OK, they never said those things, but I thought it was pretty obvious that's why they let him go.
I dunno about XP (I'm not running it any more), but Windows 7 lists the drive name first.
So... Send To -> Music Device Name (F:)

about 140,000,000 for i love sex
Quite sad that more people love t-mobile than love sex.
