As I understand, Microsoft Shared Source doesn't allow you to distribute any modifications.
This does.
If there's such a movement for certain third-party modifications to be made to Netbeans, start a pseudo-official project to aggregate them and keep the fork with said modifications in sync with the main tree. Problem solved.
Rural areas have WISPs, take a page from that book. Or, if latency isn't a concern for your users, your users have content that is relevant to other users on your ISP, and they all live in very close proximity to one another, go for 802.11s.
Or because some of us use RSS, not the front page, which prevents those statistics from working. (Of course, the fact that I have the JavaScript front page turned off might also do that even if I DID use the front page.:))
Unless you put a radical Islamic-style spin on the suicide, then you can say that you're becoming a martyr. Then the RIAA has a nasty PR mess on their hands.
Of course, DOS isn't dependent on hardware platform any more either - if it runs on DOSBox, it's now pretty platform independent, and can easily be moved to other systems.
Actually, the drives that the IIGS used had an eject button.
(Then again, all it did was tell the OS to unmount the disk. But, if there was no active OS, it assumed it was unmounted, IIRC. I'm not sure how it handled a crashed OS, but a quick Apple-Ctrl-Reset got you out of the OS...
Java's a plug-in, though, and it just automatically runs in your browser.
Myself, I have Opera set to not display any Java or any other plug-in content unless I specifically enable it. I do need to make it prompt more on PDFs, though - once a blank (hah, yeah right, more like JavaScript 'sploited) PDF got through and auto-launched my PDF reader. Luckily, it looks like I'm clean, but still...
Such federal laws only apply to government websites, IIRC.
But, the screen readers usually work on the content that the browser has rendered... read: after the JavaScript has been executed, and the page de-obfuscated.
What it's about is seamlessly viewing Hulu content on an HTPC, without manually firing up a web browser. Not even removing the ads. Displaying it, from a live stream, with the ads - not saving the content.
(There's also WCOIL, a local ISP that has access via TW. However, their ToS specifically disallows servers, which was the main reason I went with Earthlink.)

I used site:microsoft.com just to get it right from the horse's mouth...

For OEMs that build lower-cost small notebook PCs, Windows 7 Starter will now be available in developed markets.

In which case you avoid wires altogether.
Rural areas have WISPs, take a page from that book. Or, if latency isn't a concern for your users, your users have content that is relevant to other users on your ISP, and they all live in very close proximity to one another, go for 802.11s.
And, IIRC, Firefox runs on Windows 95, an unsupported platform, with the addition of a few DLLs.
SeaMonkey, IIRC, runs on Windows NT 3.51, which is incapable of running most current Win32 software.
So, that most likely is it, that they're dropping support in the form of testing and help.
Holy hell, if Godwin were dead, he'd be spinning in his grave right now.
You lose. :P
You could probably turn to a T1 or greater provider, although be ready to pay multiple hundreds per month.
Alternately, maybe this is a nice huge argument for 802.11s.
Microsoft will still be providing XP to OEMs AFTER mainstream support ends, too, though.
Meaning it'll still be current.

And a 1 GHz Cortex-A8 core is probably in that ballpark.
And, there's always the Cortex-A9 MPCore, which should help even more.

More likely they got it because Windows 3.0, and then 3.1 was bundled with it.
Except those are often security updates.
Would you rather have unpatched exploits a year later?
If / is blocked by StopBadware, all sites with a / anywhere in the URL get blocked.
Now realize that all sites HAVE a / anywhere in the URL.
And that that actually happened once, at least on Google's copy of the StopBadware database. ;)
I didn't mean when /. is blocked, I meant when / is blocked.

SSH into a box in Russia for development.
Interesting.

Sucks when / is blocked, now, isn't it? :)
Myself, my options are:
Time Warner (I'm paying $44.95/mo for Earthlink via TW, but I'm not in a capped area)
A ripoff artist phone company that claims $14.95/mo for ADSL, but they have about $50-70 in hidden charges on the phone bill, resulting in over $100/mo for basic ADSL and home phone
Dial-up for about $40 for the basic home phone and $10-20 for the dial-up

Stealing wifi from a neighbor that has the same options
It used to be $29 for Opera, IIRC...
It's the equivalent to forking an open source product...
