Yeah I totally agree remember when Windows 1.0 came out and all the investors complained that M$ was throwing money away. Well, you know what the investors were right, that Operating System / Shell failed miserably.
Investors know so much more about the tech biz than Gates and the gang after all.
Santa, well I believe in him.

Dear Editor, I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds.
All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!
It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight.
The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus.
The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart.
Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real?
Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus!
Thank God he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Space Quest 7, http://www.sq7.org/ looks great. There's a little teaser trailer in quick time and wow, I'm salivating. I wasted much too much time on these games but I'm ready to waste again
"To prevent accidental discharges, the wearer must arm the jacket before it can deliver a shock. A lock on the sleeve must first be opened with a key, and then the charge is built up by holding down a button inside one of the sleeves."
Asking an attacker to hold on a moment while you charge up is not likely to work.
"The German Bundeswher (Department of Defense) has banned Microsoft products due to real and "suspected" security problems (like little back doors for the NSA (X64, X17), for instance)."
Overall guy comes off as a right nutjob. If I were Microsoft I'd be thinking restraining order.
I can see it now, All Servers running on Intel Chips running Windows Operating Systems. Unless AMD overcomes their "hobbiest" or second choice image the industry will eventually begin to stagnate.

What are you talking about reply to a message ..... oh you can't....it works
That should top the list.
They are only collecting anonymous data, just like they were only listening in on international calls. Geez the bullshit just keeps growing.

Exactly what I thought. Bad bad idea.

From the Article:
"To prevent accidental discharges, the wearer must arm the jacket before it can deliver a shock. A lock on the sleeve must first be opened with a key, and then the charge is built up by holding down a button inside one of the sleeves."
Asking an attacker to hold on a moment while you charge up is not likely to work.
It was all going well until:
"The German Bundeswher (Department of Defense) has banned Microsoft products due to real and "suspected" security problems (like little back doors for the NSA (X64, X17), for instance)."

Just reading nothing but Advertising today. I'm waiting for a breathless "news" story on another product.

There are no age restrictions on applying for a patent, but only the true inventor is entitled to a patent.

slightly off topic but check out ID Webpage circa Dec 1997 and then look at it today. The work that must have gone into update that baby (;
