Heh, there are about 2 billion Linux embedded devices out there - far more than the total number of MS Windoze systems, so I guess Windoze is even less useful - Oh, well, what the hell...
Well, there are bigger craters than the Caribean one on earth. For example the Bushveld Complex in Northern South Africa, which is about 500km in diameter: http://www.wits.ac.za/geosciences/bushveld/bush_vf t1.htm
That one also didn't cause the extinction of life, so the earth is a very resilient body. A good thing really, else we probably would not have been here...
M250 people ==> no more than 20% of populous goes to movies, vs. no more than 6.5% play games
That is rough, but it does put things into perspective and explains that whenever a 'Famous Movie Star' dies, nobody ever heard of him/her, or the movies they played in...
What you need are double messages with two encryption keys, that will either decrypt to the real message, or to a fake message. For details, see Practical Cryptography by Bruce Schneier.
In the tradition of Wally in the Dilbert comic strip, I would just go and write a new program, with 100 security holes in it - much easier than finding holes in someone else's...
No, no, no - turning off filename mangling in Windows will kill the whole trojan horse industry and will put hundreds of thousands of American IT guys out of work, which would be very unpatriotic. The only thing worse for the American IT industry would be turning off the Windows scripting host server. It would be calamitous. Think of the poor little children.
This trojan horse only spreads on Windows PCs, because Linux has a small desktop market share. Once the Linux market share is larger, any.exe and.zip file will execute as soon as a mark clicks on it...
For thousands of years, people firmly believed that the sun revolves around the earth and the writings of dissenters were heaped and burned in the streets...
This global warning crap has taken on a religious cult status. It is freakin obvious that the earth is warming up. It has been doing so for 10,000 years and it is still colder than it was when the dinosaurs roamed.
It is probably going to get much hotter still - get used to it.
Geez, get over it. People post at the top, since that is the part that is visible when using a mail reader.
No, it is not.
If people could just learn to write their replies BELOW what they're quoting. Top posting is just wrong.

No, its the pre-installed Windoze that causes them to throw the PC away. They don't have any way to recover, since they don't have a proper copy of Windoze on CDROM. A new copy of Windoze costs $500 at the local computer shop, while a new PC costs only $600, so guess what they are going to do...

M$800 / $50 = M16 games sold

Yup, I don't know the name of their experimental setup, but the Apple Lisa was based on that - whatever it was.

That is all I get. Maybe it has something to do with running IE on CxOffice on Linux...
Just copy?
Which was first: Mozaic/Netscape/Mozilla, or Internet Explorer?
Which was first: Unix, VMS, or Windows?
Which TCP/IP stack is Windows using?
Which was first: Xerox Parc, Apple Lisa, or Windows GUIs?
You need a history lesson pal.
Ever heard of Alexa? It is distributed free with Internet Explorer. I bet this program won't remove it...
So, MS now has Alexa - a spyware program distributed free with Internet Explorer, the world's premier spyware platform and a removal tool...

They can't even count in Roman numerals, so how can they fix bugs and make improvements?
Sorry, don't want to deflate your ideas, but this has been floated half a century ago and is still just hot air...
Protel Demo, Orcad Demo, Eagle Light, PCB Express...
Maybe next time, use Google and look for "Free PCB Design Software"...
The Windoze search tools are sloooooooow and don't work very well, but most of all, common users simply don't know how to use it.
In another 4 years, Americans will have flash advertisements on their Diebold voting machines...
Blech, doesn't work with the links text browser. Windoze users have all the fun...
Hmmm, FF is vulnerable, but IE6 running on CxOffice isn't.

Fighting spam with email, is like fucking for virginity, but fighting violence with violence does work - you just have to kill everybody.

Internet Explorer is free software too.
