What is wrong with "ripping off" the GOOD Microsoft ideas? People bash Microsoft for their BAD ideas and bad IMPLEMENTATIONS, not to mention the distinct lack of Openess which is what makes OSS so attractive by comparison.
I count 10 mentions of.NET but 0 of Mono. I believe your concern is valid and share it for the most part, but shouldn't you mention what is being done about it?
XP was the _unification_ of 2000 and ME. That is, the features/functionality/compatibility of 9x/ME added to a Windows 2000 base system.
Of course, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 is damn close to XP in terms of compatility since they backported a lot of stuff from XP (without the service packs 2000 is rather useless)

And piss off privacy advocates everywhere?
Besides, email is a worldwide thing so individual government-based initiatives are bunk.

Where do you get those horrible prices?
Ball mice are at most $10 and good opticals are $20. And I'm talking Logitechs.
Of course, there are flashier opticals for > $20, but that's beside the point.
>communications, more precise navigation and...
... nanoseconds :)
>Video games!
No fair! I was pinging 400
>Imagine it coupled with GMailFS...
>The world's information at your fingertips!
Coupled with google, perhaps...
Coupled with GMailFS it's YOUR information at your fingertips. That is, if your fingertips are capable of interfacing with a 10Gb/sec connection . . .
The joke is lost on you.
>Are you saying with Coral that you can?
:)
With Coral you can get it cached just by asking for it. Of course, the Coral pcs have to connect to it at least once.
You cannot get google to cache a page at your request -- no matter how hard you try

Wow, what a frickin waste of a gmail invite!
You should use Yahoo for disposable accounts... 100MB is plenty for that shit.
An AC telling an AC "I'm so glad you're not my neighbor."
That's cute fellas.
> Maybe. But even if it is just a placebo, I still think it is beneficial.
n g sense, not as in "deterant"
How is it beneficial? You do realize we're using placebo in the usual makes-you-feel-good-about-yourself-but-does-nothi
And IMO false security is much worse than little or no security at all.

We have a rule of thumb for these situations: everyone is bad, except when they do something good.

How about:

Umm, "Yup" to which part of my question?
:)
i.e. did you mean "privacy" or "piracy"...

Are you missing a V, or did you just misplace that R?
Privoxy is an excellent web proxy enforces session-cookies-only by default and has a lot of cool add-blocking features as well.
:)
That said, I usually disable session-cookies-only first thing.. I'm spoiled and like my persistent logins

Right click this link and select "Copy Link Location."
Then left click here, paste the link into the "Remote URL" box on the right, and click Install.
Ahh... feels like home again
and I'm #11651... kinda impressive, yeah.
But I want to see them try doing this on a weekday at about 1pm EST =)
Sure, but it's just a way to kill time between tech calls, not "interesting".
