We, the employees at Microsoft's astroturfing department, absolutely protest this! Our jobs require us to only *guide* the misdirected unto a path that leads to Microsoft solutions, that's all.
I find it ironically funny that John Hurt seems to be playing the head of the oppressive party in this movie while he played the exact opposite kind of character in 1984.

What do you mean Microsoft office doesn't get your blood pumping!? Last time I used MS Word I was cursing and screaming only a few minutes after I started working!
Corporations are constantly gettings more influence over the government and legislation, the patriot act, the digital millenium copyright act, the new laws in sweden recently banning fair use of copyrighted material because of pressure from US corporations! How can one not feel that hopelessness to all this when the people of the world have no power over their lives and are being led like sheep by evil clever corporite laywers around by their noses.
What little power we had has been snatched away because people don't care enough and feel that it is quite all right to let the government and corporations tell them what is right (more copyright, patants, less freedom for you, bigger class destintion, etc.) and what is wrong (caring of your neibhor is evil, you must NOT share with others you evil foul pirate (aparently the coast guard aren't doing their job or something).
I used to fight. Be active and try my best. It just doesn't matter, not matter how hard you try these bastards STILL get their obviosly bad laws through no matter how many protests there are.
Thats it, this post will be my last ever time I will care before I join the brainless zombies who's freedom matter less to them then about missing oprah! ARRGH!
English eh? Is that a compiled or interpreted language? Can it be compiled into bytecode? Who's the lead developer? Google gave me very mixed results. No HOWTO or sourceforge link. This can't be a very widespread thing. Maybe I'll give english a go after it goes out of alpha. Then we'll see.
Then perhaps you should take a look at this working free r300 driver
It may not be fully stable yet (although is has worked smoothly for me for about a week) but people seem to have forgotten the fight for getting free software drivers for their graphics cards indstead if kissing the asses of nvidia and ati for not releasing any source code or much specs.
I will always choose the card which has a free driver over any that don't. Even if the perfomance is not on par with the best.
Microsoft sure knows how to inovate. If it weren't for them I would have never heard of this "tab" thingie. How many years is it since tabbed browsing for first intruduced? (I can't be bothered to find out right now). Wasn't there an article recently were free software maker about not being inovative? Let us play a game of 'spot the irony' shall we?
I own a car. Every now and again I have to put some more oil, regularly fill it with petrol, make sure that there is enough windscreen cleaning liquid, wash it etc.
The point being that if I don't take care of my car it's going to brake down. There are a lot of people who just don't bother to do anything for their car. Sooner or later it will therefore break down. We need to maintain our systems and if people are to lazy or ignorant to do anything about that then they can only blame themselves.
I used to laugh about this whole thing. I don't anymore. Then it became irritating. Now it is just blatantly stupid, long since entered into wonderland along with Lisa. The old saying that the US legal system is slow but grinds infinitely small is also just as lame. That something that has been shown time and time again to be utterly without merit, while YEARS go by, millions are spent, hundreds of man-hours gone. It's pitiful.
So many recources wasted without ANY conclusion reached. Without any shore in sight as far as the eye can see.

Actually it is: How I learned to stop worrying and love the web. This is a direct link to the pdf rendered into html.
Dear microsoft employee, please stop trolling slashdot when you should be working on those security patches.
Thanks.

Perhaps the reason for his hesitance to having implants put into his brain is because he has seen the source code which they are programmed to follow!

Up, up, up the stairs we go!
Are you saying that you didn't get the memo!?

It get my vote for "most disturbing dance video ever".
Is that sarcasm? I have stopped being able to tell anymore due to to much exposure.
Also worth mentioning is the open graphics project.
Have you tried GPLFlash? I think there was a recent article here on slashdot about it rising from the ashes once more.

Well, my thousand words are up!
Or better yet, only use flash to display your "webpage" so we can all happily ignore it!
Woops. That was obviously supposed to be Alice ;-)
I had just been watching a lot of "The Simpsons" episodes.
O well.
