They bought hotmail and switched to MS server tech. Bought bungie and... hey I am sensing a pattern here! I trust anything this article says as much as I trust a MS advert.
Pro open source I may be but I love these apps - Word and Excel open in 1-2 second initially and then subsequent times it takes less than a second to open - I wish all applications were so fast. (2800+ AMD 1GB ram wd120gb hd)
Does anyone know if there a way to convert an existing ubuntu installation to debian? I installed ubuntu and wish i'd just used debian but dont want to have to reconfigure everything again.

Translation of your comment: "eat shit, trillions of flies can't be wrong"
What about the hardware comparison that will surely not favour apple. e.g
3.2ghz Pentium 4 1GB ram 200GB HD PC $600 or
3.2ghz Pentium 4 512MB ram 120GB HD "Apple Mac" $999
I wonder which consumers will think is better value, up till now apple could pull the "but our hardware is magically fast even though it looks slow" trick.
One possibility is Intel reserve its true dual core (or some other new cpu) for apple only but then it will shoot itself in the foot considering AMD is already producing better CPUs.
I hear these arguments usually from parents who like to feed their kids packaged meals. Vegetables are more expensive than meat? What planet do you live on.
But you only have one pair of eyes, or are you able to point them at different monitors simultaneously?
The way I see dual monitors is that it just saves you alt-tabbing or tiling windows. Multiple desktops (as is common in linux) with the desktop switching achieved by a footswitch would be a simpler arrangement.
The "story" was badly worded but you also clearly couldnt be bothered following the links in your haste for first post or it would be obvious to you that the maxi version is for DVDs.
We are long past the "let's dig trenches and shoot each other with machines guns for months on end without gaining any ground.
Bar actual *trenches* (they use sandbags?) that sounds pretty much like Iraq to me. The US still doesnt have full control of baghdad.
I know the US soldier deaths to iraqi civilian deaths ratio is still pretty impressive but this just shows the correct conclusion is "Technology means we can kill more of them while losing less of our own" - it still doesnt win a war.
There is no such language as "pakistani" and why would they deliberately change it, khan is a common family name like "Smith" is in england (and its colonies ^_^ ). Maybe you posted to the wrong story as there doesn't seem to be any link between your post and this story.
And how is this easy for an ISP to implement? This would require realtime scanning on the streams coming and out of their network. My solution blocks first, askes questions later. Much easier for an ISP to impement
No, your solution belongs in dreamland. 1. DDOS still totally feasible they will just use port 80 or whatever. 2. The ISP need a big callcentre to deal with people who suddenly cant use many of the features of the internet. the user will have to wait an hour to speak to a moron who doesnt know what a port is. 2.1 If the user can self-open ports then so can the trojans. A solution is to spend a lot of time developing some form of CAPTCHA which might just be a continual battle of technology.
Even if all these things were surmounted think about the hardware, I am not a network guy but is it really feasable for an ISP to block/open specific ports *per user*.
Even best case scenario is it costs the ISP money and what do they gain (sorry "being good" is not a modern currency)?.

I understand people coding a new email client might make it look like what they are used to, however Evolution used to ape the old version of Outlook but they have implemented outlook 2003 looks too (those mail etc.. "buttons" on the left side). Basically they are doing a poor job of copying and playing catch up. How about sitting down and trying to make the best email app there is instead of just trying to copy existing ones down to their cosmetic features.
disclaimer I love open source and use thunderbird as my email client (at home) - at work I use Outlook because its mandated (not because of the way it looks!).
80% of people who can get on the internet might feel that way, but 80% of soap opera watching morons probably think ID cards will be solve these massive terrorism problems we are having in the UK.
There are no terrorist problems you say? Oh you must be one of those anti war hippies.

Error at line 1... al qaeda dont exist, its a term made up by the US - you remember mcarthyism? its the same thing recycled.
still it gives rightwingers an excuse to use for the hundreds of thousands dead and god knows how many lives ruined.

I should have written "even though it looks slow on paper".

Rosetta sounds like WINE but for the mac APIs. Since they are apples APIs you can bet they can make a WINE-alike pretty easily.
I have found intelligent people are less likely to have kids. Its all the idiots who pop out numerous kids like its some kind of achievement.

Gear sticks rarely have a word describing them that is written directly on them.
This is more like renaming the Mustang itself.
I agree with the other posters ideas of renaming "program files" to bin etc.. made me chortle.
So you have to keep it within 2 inches of the mat, and where does the mat get its power from? It either has batteries or is cabled.
I'll stick with my real wireless mouse thanks very much, no batteries just charge it once a week (or when I remember to put it back in its cradle).
As a XUL developer I welcome these additions that will make the language more pleasant to code in.
They shouldnt be used where they impact on cross browser compatibility though.

Worked great for me too at only 1mg. Only problem is I feel a bit groggy the next morning so tend to avoid if I am in work the next day.
I'm pretty sure "keyboad" (on the keymap pic) isn't a valid spelling though :-)
I thought the retarded fashion of typing with numbers etc was due to the popularity of SMS.
Shouldnt non-profit people be in favour of this?
Perhaps singing in french damaged their score.
I not that Germany did the opposite by making a totally bland song in english where they sing about "dollars" - wtf?
