Sometimes things can manage to "fix themselves" simply because of problems that started outside of your scope of control. Not too long ago, I was writing some code for my own spin on phpBB, called OmniBB. One night, I was getting all sorts of error pages from the server (Apache ran on Windows). I finally gave up and went to sleep, with visions of computer bugs dancing in my head. The next morning, I tried it again, and lo and behold, it worked! The problem might not be with your code, but a tool that your code relies on. In cases like this, it wouldn't help me to fix the tool (Apache) or get a different one, since it wouldn't be very useful if it didn't work on Apache servers, would it?
I know there aren't many of us left, but really, do companies think that people like us will be interested in their products after they rape our modems with this trash? It takes me long enough to get what I need done with 56K as it is. Call me crazy, but I think Microsoft and all of those other companies can live without the extra revenue.
"Microsoft last week published a document on its Web site that describes how the company manages security on its own 300,000 node corporate network."
Does this include the policy, "Do NOT patch MySQL servers, so we can get infected by the Blaster Worm again."
Perhaps you could add a section to preferences that lets users choose which color schemes to use on all of the Slashdot sections. If they don't want to set the same color for all sections, let them choose a default (individual settings for each section would probably eat up a lot of space).
The reason is simple. People who download music illegally complain that they don't want to pay $15-$20 for a CD when they only want 1 or 2 songs off it, which is a valid excuse. The same excuse probably wouldn't hold up as well when applied to things such as software ("I only wanted the part that sends e-mails!"), though I am beginning to see where M$ got the idea for rolling all of those products into Microsoft Office...
It's been three years since it's been introduced to the public, and I still can't get a straight-forward answer on what it actually is... Someone should congratulate M$'s marketing people for giving it a catchphrase rather than, god forbid, useful information.
Everyone knows that if RFID tags become popular, it will be the fault of Wal-Mart. The ways these things can be used to invade privacy are ludicrous.

This is like poking an old man with a stick and laughing while he makes idle threats... except in this case, the old guy actually deserves it.
"Damn kids with your rock music and makeout parties! Why in my day, sonny, we payed for our CDs, and all the crap that came on 'em! Do you expect us RIAA folks to actually get a productive job?!"
VirtuaKnight does not condone the poking of old people
You could just spend a little extra money on a DVD-R or DVD-RW drive, and gain the ability to burn 4.7GB of data to a disk that uses an already popular format.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that all I had for a while was a TI to program on. One year I got an introductory edition of MSVC++ along with a book, and I turned out fine.
If kids want to program, they will find a way to do so; they don't have to be spoon fed.
When I purchased my hp 762n from Circuit City about 8 months ago, Python came preinstalled.
Also, you can use batch scripts, even if they lack the power of a real programming language.

This issue has already been mentioned with no new information 2 or 3 times.
If he was a Windows salesperson, why would he be bashing software designed for Windows?

Someone should talk to these guys about banning the terms "Microsoft" and "Windows"
Does this mean that it will be taken out of commission twice as fast as the original, too?
Er... SQL servers :x

What if you give the password to somebody else and THEY agree to the TOS? There wouldn't really be any legal obligation between Yahoo and you.

Just get a domain with Verisign.

...because everyone knows that you don't actually own your computer; it belongs to marketers as soon as you plug it in the the 'Net.

Well, they wouldn't be the only one on crack, now would they...?
