Bit tricky outside of the US, still, wanted to use the Queens's postcodefor a while, until I kept getting adverts for Nazi memorabilia
1st mention of Godwin gets 3 whooshes on either side of face. Hard
No, not linux, get them to work with Gnome KDE Unity or god knows how many desktops, therein is the problem.
Can you assure me that your app, audio and video will work with my choice of desktop?
So something no-one wants, universally reviled, will never see production, pure vaporware. Sorry I must have missed the news that Canonical had been bought by Microsoft.
If you have any technical nous at all, read tech sites or news paper reports, you can't be a juror on a case that requires the jury to understand tech stuff, really for this sort of case the law needs changing as it does for fraud cases which last years and the jury really don't have a clue.
These tech lawsuits are getting out of hand, I believe judges can declare platiffs to be in contempt of court and bar them from further prosections.
Really?? Well I lived in Reading 15 miles or so from Heathrow on its flightpath and Condorde pilots turned on the afterburners at Woodley about 4 miles before it got to us.
It was incredibly loud - at 10:50 and 19:25 each day you just had to stop what you were doing for 3 minutes, buildings shook, car alarms went of - conversations were impossible. This never happened with other commercial jets.
This wasn't just Boeing sh*t stirring. (Although they were a bit)
Fortunately it didn't cause sonic booms for us.
I was flying on my honeymoon when the Paris Corcorde crash happened, bit of a shock when I saw the news.
I know this is slashdot but to quote that site as representative? why not the FSF's to get a bit of balance? Or the Firefox developers'? Actually I'm shocked that 15% of their visitors do use IE given the antipathy to Microsoft. When Google's stats show something similar then that will be another matter.
Umm less standard? OK I'm English from England, we would never, ever say I've been burglarized, I've never even heard the word in 50 years on this planet before but Chambers says it's OK well actually not with the final D. Still I guess the verbification of a nounifiction etc is Ok on the intertubes.
Unless you have rabies and are hydrophobic you'd love it here, frankly I could do with seeing sunlight (and no I don't live in a basement) Some rich buggers have cellars - it's not quite the same thing, We've just had our wettest june ever known, typical we were prohibitited by law from using hosepipies even to drain the floodwater away.
Maybe I'm getting old but what was the last windows virus? That wasn't self inflicted and I mean virus by the current discussion, if apple define virus as something that only Windows can get then they are pretty safe in their claim.
Yet the non terms Virii and boxen seem to be acceptable here - real people don't know or care about the technical definitions, all they know is it's buggering up their machine.
Let's face it, fewer customers/less demand to Apple's mind means less need for staff/geniuses and lower wages need to be paid...
Methinks your suggestion is going to make it worse for them not better.
Well yes, but what's your point? If your supplier provides and you deliberately ignore then sorry that's your fault. OK I asked about post SP2 viruses and you've got one that was already patched, long before it came up to bite people, any companies that got bit by this probably need to sack the managers as the techs would have been screaming for months. Still you haven't addressed my point that it's not the system but the data that needs protecting and that's what the AV anti-malware guys do.
OK Conficker, the fix for which was available to all, even pirates for months and required the user to have admin privs. What about the point that it's the user's data that's valuable, the system is easily repaired, the data not.
Not looking for trouble, but really what was the last virus to hit the windows world? Trojans yes by the bucketload that then download all sorts of malware, but since XP SP2 wnet mainstream viruses as such seem dead. OK a piece of social engineering like the "I love you" will still get people but users are users. All you can do is make them non admins but crudware can still destroy their data and I don't see how other OS's can stop that, the machine might be OK but that user's data is toast and that's generally where most people value things. "The machine is fine, the only thing I couldn't recover is that special photo of your dead Gran" is not what folks want to hear.
Sorry, but what, 3 working days for a fully regression tested fix? Perhaps MS should release an update that " accidentally" breaks google, chrome, firefox, open office, opera and all after five days then say sorry but we we forced to release an untested patch. Google should get rid of this bloke, he's good at finding things but really this is dreadful behaviour.
Do you really think your OS of choice could get a fully tested fix out in the time frame MS was given here. Not some basement dweller who says this is the fix, without realising it breaks some major apps.
Look at the howls when MS or Apple release an update and someone's (usually malware infected) machine breaks.
Quite. It's dead Jim, give it up. What's next? a DOS version, CPM Acorn OS. OK It's a geek thing to say we can. How many Amiga systems still work? So 3 other people download it, say WOW, and then never use it again? No doubt I'll be called a troll but really shouldn't you put your mad skillz to a better use?
Slashdot Mirror
(Don't call me) Shirley the ": " in the title should be 's
and how long would it be before someone called it wanx to much hilarity amongst pre teens and internet nerds ....

Wondered how long it would take for someone to try to implicate MS, well done.
Wouldn't a large dollop of raspberry (c)ripple icecream solve the short term heat problems. OK it might be cream crackered later.

See how well the windows 7 sins campaign worked?
Well if the users asked are the marketing department at google otherwise....
If only mate, there's probably more of us than they've made yet. Wouldn't mind one though...

For heaven's sake what's wrong with burgled?
bah my typing seems appaling sorry but it's barely got warm enough to turn off the heating, some summer.
