I still get a lot less spam in my yahoo a/c than my hotmail addy. the ratio is about 10/day on hotmail and 2/month on yahoo. I dont even give out my email addy on hotmail. since microsoft bought out the company Its only used for msn which some of my friends insist on using no matter how hard i try to convert them to yahoo.
of course Mickey$oft would claim that, what else would you expect them to say? 'Hey we are out to destroy linux'? That evil company is more cunning than that, look at how they thwarted the DOJ.
You don't own a ps2 do you? All of the ps2's sold now, and all those sold in north america have a special compartment to accomodate a hard drive and network card (which attaches to the back of the said hard drive). Fitting those two things does not increase the size of the console. The only ps2 which doesnt have the compartment is the launch model sold in japan. For that one you have to get the external hard drive specially designed for it. Either way you look at it, a ps2 takes up less room than a xbox.
One things for sure, it will give SCO the funding it needs to take people to court.

But being a monopoly isn't illegal, its abusing the powers you have as a monopoly that is. And thats what mickey$oft has done and is still doing. But I agree with your thoughts, if Clintons party had won, gate's ass would be grass.

you'll find lots of old articles but for the new ones you have to use 'next-generation secure computing base' Mickey$oft gave it a new name after receiving all that negative press.
I think that there should be a law to protect whistleblowers, and perhaps some form of federal insurance that the can draw from in the event that they are retaliated against
ther is, its called the witness protection act but I doub tit would be enforced in something like this. It's usually used for protecting witnesses in major organised crimes, where the big fellows fall but their 'minions' still linger around the streets.
ok to comment on that seriously, I'm not saying its right but perhaps it has to do with the loss of trust after someone has snitch on his/her own people, kinda like when somebody betrays their leader and joins the other side in a war or they're a double agent -- these people are never fully trusted again no matter what.
for the person that gets fired for whistle blowing, if they can prove with hard evidence that thats why they got fired they should be able to use the anti dicrimination act (or the equivalent in your country)..... and embarass the company again.
yea you're right. for some reason I kept reading javascript as java and I was thinking they made their own java runtime like in netscape 4.xx. my mistake.
I'm saying when you include the java console, opera is a bigger download than firebird.
I just looked it up. opera 7.11 with java is 12.5 mb phoenix is 6.66 (heh) so its a little over half the size.
You can skip on java for opera if you already have it installed but for someone looking for a sole browser to replace the default one phoenix is a smaller download. Not to mention XP sp1 no longer ships with java included.
You can change the themes back to 0.5 at the texturizer.net website. its called orbit I believe. Apparently most people didnt like the look of it thats why they changed it. Personally, I didn't mind it one bit.
whats wrong with using the google box right next to the address box?
Default, it finds text on the page, but if you click on the magnifying glass you can change it to do a google search. I'm sure with a bit of customization you can change that to do a 'I'm feeling lucky' search
yep version 3 is when they have enough of other companys technology to make a viable program. although if its anything like directx when they aquired opengl's key technology it could take up to 7. heh
After reading your post I went to check the last EMI cd I bought, its Zwan and has the logo you mentioned. anyway I put it into my dvd drive and it plays fine in winamp.
my specs: pioneer 116s Win xp + dodgy sp1
The 116s is a really popular model here in Australia so I don't know if thats a case of the cd protectiion not being on the cd or that particular drive is able to read it. Seems like a few others can read these supposedly uncopyable cds using their cdrom drives too.
Interesting, interesting. I'm from australia as well but I wouldnt touch telstra;s internet service with a 10 foot pole. I always go for the underdog like optus or comindincgo to provide my access. telstra charges too much and their service is crap compared to the competition. Unfortunately they also hold a strangle hold on the market and control 90% of broadband access, landlines and mobiles. For the average australian using a diff company just isnt an option. thats how telstra gets away with charging exorbient sums for a 3rd world service.
I wonder if anyone else noticed, in yesterdays/. article on open proxys, listed was a bigpond address.

woah!
Didnt they make a deal to do that?
Apple lets mickeysoft put ie on mac and in return they get to port office over?

Worse would be having the aibo haxxored and it opens the front door for the awaiting robber to come in...

thats how you get up the corporate ladder these days and have some 'fun' along the way.
nevermind all that. I got confused with javascript, phoenix doesnt come with its own version of java. ....opera wins...this one :)

Phoenix comes with its own java console. Opera is 12mb if my memory serves me right, with java included.
so true and the saddest thing about it is, nowhere will you find ie7 on MickeySofts program-upgrades roadmap.

All the more reason to have the radio on when you're driving, I say.

Good thing dvd recorders are coming down so you can make a permanent copy of what you OWN. These corporate nazis will have to try harder than this.
