Microsoft doesn't need to hot link to SomeBrowser.com. They can just link to a site they control and it will redirect them to SomeBrowser.com if that website still exists (or is still legitimate). If SomeBrowser.com gets absorbed by OtherBrowser.com, then the redirect site controlled by Microsoft just redirects the user to the new site. If SomeBrowser.com goes under, then users get a message when they try to download it that SomeBrowser.com no longer exists and they can choose from these alternatives.
This way they don't ever have to worry about passing a user to a bad site, since they control the redirect page.
I take a lot of time to read and respond to posts in Shashdot. I even can sometimes get really emotional when people say they like vi over emacs. Where is my paycheck?
Very true. I'd mod you up, but Slashdot hasn't given me any mod points... why haven't Slashdot given me my mod points! I've earned some mod points, dammit!
Remember books? Those were the things we read before e-mail, Web browsing, and Twitter came on the scene.
This is inane. Books are not the same as email. Before email we read letters sent along the post. Before web browsing we read magazines and trade journals and newspapers. Before Twitter we read fortune cookies. All the internet provides is a digital format for old technologies. And Google is just the modern day Dewey Decimal System/Yellow Pages of locating all this information.
None of these things are at all like reading a book, or even an ebook. The internet did not and will not replace the book. If he stopped reading books he needs to look closer than the internets to find the person to blame for that.
Not that I don't think that ink is severely overpriced but where did they come up with this number? Did they include the price of the cartridge that the ink comes in as well?
Actually the original pong was a wooden table with a net in the middle, two fleshy air breathers on either side holding wooden paddles and smacking a plastic ball with said paddles.
Why would they need the UI to adjust? Wouldn't their efforts be better spent making a UI that was as little stress inducing as possible and have it run that way full time?
Assuming the communications infrastructure isn't completely FUBAR, having a radio or a phone can be way more helpful than water. If you are trapped in the roof of your house, a bottle of water will not help you call for help. If most of the roads around your area are blocked off, a bottle of water will not broadcast the safe route out of town.

When I say ahy ee it takes significantly more time then when I say chrome. Now Firefox is really slow by comparison.

It is very scary that is is modded insightful.
where is the secret chamber of air and atmosphere?
Curried FAVOUR, not curried flavor.
81%, maybe we should consider running for elected office. It frightens me that our current elected officials could score so low.
Seems to me that the Chinese Government is being very open about the amount of surveillance they are using on their citizens.

We don't believe in imaginary property.

Mod points are imaginary.
Considering how expensive new medical technology is, yes I do believe it will be.

Or.... I am in your base, replicating your genetic code.

They aren't doing this because their morals have changed, they are doing this cause they gotta make money somehow while on strike.

I hear that futuristic headbands are in right now.

I'd personally vote for the ninja party myself.
Like chicken of course!

I guess their jobs will be taken by India!
