Here Bill. You want my money? Then you are going to have to earn it. Firstly I want two editions, not 7. Home and Pro just like before please. How about every version by 64bit capable and all have MCE built in as well. In today's world not having all the multimedia capability in all your Os's is silly. Let the HOME user have all the capabilities as PRO but keep the very high end security requirements needed for the corporate environment out. With MCE built in Vista Home should sell for $100 and PRO should be $150.
This would seem fair to me. Otherwise I see very little reason to change from XP.
Not bloody likely.
Hiroshi Yamauchi would appear in the night as a Ninja of all that is Nintendo and eviscerate any executive stupid enough to do that with a katana. Of course the blood would be green.
Well, other than providing the executives of Lockheed-Martin with yet another banner bonus year this will do zero to prevent terrorism. The UK has more video surveillance than anywhere on the earth. Yet amazingly enough terrorists found their way onto the subways and busses and killed scores of people. When people are willing to kill themselves in an attack video surveillance means nothing. All it provides is a good set of pictures for Islamist websites to make an online martyrs shrine with.
"Today, we at NASA are pleased to announce our next manned mission. NASA has always been committed to manned exploration, in the past and in the future.
We proudly announce that our next mission is the manned exploration of the parking lot of Cape Kennedy. We know that this is dangerous but we are confident that our engineers and our brave parkonouts and God willing we will be able to return the crew with no casualties.
We plan to launch in September 2015, of course we will delay this as necessary for safety reasons
Pringles, little perfect rhomboid forms composed of industrially processed potato flakes. There is no more perfect snack food.
Plus you can use the can for a nice directional 802.11b antenna.
How can you post on Slashdot and not know of this? Time to take back your nerd license.
IBM, Oracle and everyone else in the industry does not want Microsoft(or even Intel) to achieve a total monopoly in the IT market. Microsoft has enough of a stranglehold on the market as it is. Every way in which Firefox becomes more competive with IE is another opportunity to take market share (ie. money) from the 800lb gorilla in the industry.
Of course any chance of revenge for the OS/2 screwjob is just bonus points for Big Blue.
But when the first guy who can figure out how to do porn spam for this comes along, I do not want to be anywhere near the roads.
On the other hand when this happens I probably won't be leaving my apartment anyway.
I know some of you are going to run around with your hair on fire about the "man" using this toolbar to spy on us, etc...
But really this is great news for FireFox. Firstly anyone who has used the IE Google Toolbar and tried the various FireFox extensions that mimic it know they are a good, but ulitmately a pale comparison to the original. The ease of use, and the fact that it simply works make the IE Google Toolbar a great, well, tool. I can't wait for the Firefox version.
By Google releasing this it proves that FireFox is a big deal to the corporate world. Not IE big deal, but at least its a start.
Plus with FireFox's ability to use extensions you have the best of both worlds, you can roll your own so to speak, or if you want a simple all in one, use the Google Firefox Toolbar.
You have now one less reason to use IE and one more great one for using FireFox.
Why is it that they always love to wax orgasmicaly about how fast their connections are but all these unlimited plans have caps of 10gb a month or so?
How about you give your customers increased bandwith usage rather then hypothetical speed increases?
How many Windows XP Pirates had I already turned in? There was those six that I know about for sure. Close enough to blow their last breath in my face. But this time it was an American and an businessman. That wasn't supposed to make any difference to me, but it did. Shit... charging a man with software piracy in this place was like handing out speeding tickets in the Indy 500. I took the mission. What the hell else was I gonna do?
It makes sense if you look at it this way. After the war more boys were born that seemingly were to replace the ones killed. There was a study released recently that suggests that happy women have more boys, and pessimistic women have more girls. From a biological point of view it makes sense. If you are bringing children into an enviorment were survival is unlikely then your biological investment would be better served by having girls. Why? Well if you think about it you only need 1 very lucky guy for about as many women as he can dream of for breeding purposes. There is no point having more guys as there are only so many wombs to go around. Thus the odds of your particulart DNA chain(or portion thereof) making it to the next round is much better. To repopulate you need as many females as possible and as little males as you can get away with(allowing for the consideration of limited resources). So happy women would unconciously pop out more boys as the future looks good and the chance of their sons having children is good. Conversely unhappy women pop out girls to ensure the best chance of DNA survival in bad times. Since humans in bad times do their best to save women and children over the live of men it makes total sense when the smoke clears that we start cranking out boys to make up the difference.
Bottom line? If you want boys date a cheerleader, if you want girls, date a Goth.
Of course this being SLASHDOT this is at best hypothetical for most of you.
It actually shows up as 4 cores. Two real and two virtual.
Apparently it can make for some real smooth multitasking in principle. But the various OSs will have to be modified for it to work properly. ie. putting the real processor intensive tasks on the real processors, and not on the virtual ones.
It depends on the type of van you have. Single guys with white windowless vans get laid all the time. But then they tend go to jail for 20 years and have to let the police know where they are at all times after they get out.

If George Lucas's absolutely ham-fisted way of writing dialogue can't kill the Star Wars franchise, nothing will.
I bet it is a metric sand dune.

Hey is that a AMIGA user I see in the rafters?
What's really sad is that you don't know Iranians are Persians, not Arabs.
Uh, IE 7.0s weakest link is that Microsoft will be programing it.
