On: Microsoft Fails to Comply With EU Requirements

$ 5m per day is something like $ 1.8 billion dollars per year. So, it hurts bad, but it's still something Microsoft can afford.

They can't afford it. If EU gets 5M a day, other countries might ask for something too.

Re:What?

On: Nero Burning for Linux

So you have to buy, or already own a copy of Nero. So tell me again how this is "free-as-in-beer?"

Maybe it is not free as GPL, but users can use same interface on Linux and Windows, if they own Windows version of Nero.

License is not good enough of FOSS, but it is good for people that move from Windows to Linux. NeroLinux shows that some companies start considering Linux as Desktop platform, that might give some extra revenue.

This is because student edition is used to keep competition out of market.

You could probably get a much cheaper, nicer CRT. The market it is aimed at would probably not care about footprint anyway after all.

Tell that to PHBs and office space designers.

On: Do Unsubscribe Links Stop Spam?

I have my main address, which only 'real people' know, friends and family. It never gets any spam because it's totally secret.

Just wait for one of your friends to be infected by trojan.

I have email address that is not listed anywhere and should be used only by some friends in order to contact me quickly, but it started getting spam after one friend got mail trojan.

And they were right. If you run it in advanced mode, it sends information to google.

Interesting people. :)

Re:Exchange ?

On: SUSE 9.2 Released

Businesses can superficially "switch" to linux on all the desktops, and they can still charge per-seat in the backend.

But then Microsoft charges 200 and 400 USD less.

Re:*yawn* Been there, done that

On: Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices

If they close 8080, I'll just find a different port.

If they design firewall rules correctly, you won't find an open port.

53 tcp/udp - use local dns or selected list of servers
80 tcp - local proxy (transparent proxy works too) no socks4/5
110 tcp - only to selected list of servers.
25 tcp - only to select list of servers.

Done.

Will Apache, Debian, et al dismiss this, simply because the most popular implementations of SPF also support checking the header FROM field, which is supposedly Microsoft's idea?

Nope. SPF support is part of debian.

and one more page

Re:CNET recommendation on mozilla

On: CERT Recommends Mozilla, Firefox

here you go.

Some things can be fixed.

Re:CNET recommendation on mozilla

On: CERT Recommends Mozilla, Firefox

www.eenadu.net uses dynamic fonts. mozilla does not support dynamic fonts. Possible solution - find appropriate font and install it on your computer. See page with eenadu font.

page with info about dynamic fonts

You will find links to bugzilla there. Last chapter in the page.

I don't know how utf-8 is supported in your country. See Telugu fonts. Firefox (os=winnt) displays test page, if code2000 font is installed. If you are using winxp, you might have Arial Unicode MS font installed. Sites can use unicode to write texts in Telugu.

maybe this will have to understand problems with that page.

I then tried avant browser and it worked...

From Avant Browser FAQ:

Is Avant Browser a secure browser?
Yes, Avant Browser is secure. Since it's based on Internet Explorer, Avant Browser is as secure as Internet Explorer.

:)

You are using same rendering engine. I suspect that Scob would get you in Avant Browser too. Same goes to other IE clones.
