That's a good argument, but then Google forces you to install the Desktop search tool from an administrative account - so that it can access all the files?
I would recommend turning off the web cache search feature - and never install the Desktop on a public machine.
Why should this article be anti-windows? Both Windows and Linux don't have good support for large fonts on hihg-res displays. This is an opportunity to improve not only Lunix but also Windows - which incidently most of use use on a daily basis! I don't think most people care what OS they are using as long as they are browsing the web or reading e-mail.
I feel that most Slashdot articles (like this one) are Linux biased - this does not make the discussion better but moves the focus away from the topic under discussion (accessibility in this case) and instead focusses on a Linux-Windows argument.
Oops! I'll stop now.. I think I'm starting a different discussion myself!
United States should have used Windows... there would have been no chance of losing, it would have taken control of all the processors and crashed the computer too! No russian can beat that.
I just use my cell phone now for all voice calls and connect to the internet thru Cable. Sprint cell phone service is not too good, but they are cheap with my company discount..
Got a good international dialing plan with a calling card kind of provider (Cytus) where the phone number and pin number (you choose it) remain the same and they charge your credit card / bank account periodically. Now net2phone also offers this service.
This is the best, anyway I wasn't using my landline phone much - just got junk marketing calls! I save $25-30 every month.
It's possible to prevent java code from being decompiled. This can be done using Obfuscation of the code - basically converts the code so that it is more difficult to decompile (but not impossible).
The names of the variables and functions could be changed by such a tool to make it difficult to understand a program - as if it's already not difficult to understand without any comments.
How does making the application server side help in office applications? These are inherently GUI based applications with the focus on WYSIWYG.
Why J2EE, all J2EE would do is save the files?

Printing XML will require you to first convert XML (in some arbitary format) to (X)HTML - this is something CSS cannot do.
You need XSL to convert XML to HTML/PDF or any other format for printing.
> when you consider that the top 5% of Americans pay over 50% of all the taxes
Isn't that because the top 5% of Americans hold 90% of the country's wealth?
But do they get 90% of the benifits?
The top 5% don't collect social security benifits for sure..
You're right, the set of spyware tools tested is not among the best or even popular ones.
He should have tested these:
* Ad-Aware from Lavasoft
* Pest Patrol from Computer Associates
* Spy Sweeper from Webroot Software
* McAfee AntiSpyware from Network Associates
* Spyware Blaster from Javacool software

Was anyone really waiting for this to happen?
I'm fine with the automatic Windows update!
This concept would be similar to a series of letters by a great person being published as a book.
Glimpses of World History by Jawaharlal Nehru is one such example.
If Windows can't secure it, why should Google?

Google Desktop seems to install itself only on C:
If you don't have enough space on C:, you're out of luck... it says you need 1 GB free on C:
If you had GMail, you could just look for the oldest mail in your inbox - the 'Welcome to GMail' mail since you don't delete mails.
If you have Hotmail, well - life sucks!
.. and still 2 MB - and they count spam in the total size of your account!!
:)
Only reason I still have it is because this was my first web e-mail account and too many people have the address.
Good to see GMail forcing others to upgrade
> Firefox renders slashdot correctly, since this is the site that promotes it the most.
What's with the Slashdot RSS - is everyone seeing months old articles?
I wouldn't be surprised if the website was hacked because of the attention it was getting from slashdot... as if being slashdotted was not enough!
This is what I see on the website...
XviD owned ?? oohhhh yeahhh BloodBR ownz XviD - sorry admin leak@hackermail.com
Even if SCO recovers from the virus, it'll get Slashdotted soon!!

Nothing personal against Mississippi (damn.. it takes forever to type M i s s i s s i p p i !).
:)
You should be proud that it inspired these guys to do something cool...
See show details
A really cool thing to do... I didn't realize Mississippi was so boring!
If they can make an optimization that speeds up my favorite games without compromising on quality, then that's just fine with me!
Not really.

Now I feel an urge to play Pacman again :)
Can anyone tell me where I can download a PC version of the original Pacman game?
