They should of called the new cancer gene 'Microsoft'. Perhaps it resulted in very micro and very soft cancer lumps, surely they could get away with it.
Linux is stable, rock solid. I can't crash it, I can't do anything to bring it down.
But that doesn't mean it WORKS. Just because it doesn't crash and it is stable, doesn't mean it WORKS. So what if your video card doesn't work, or your 3D acceleration doesn't work right, or you can't get 5.1 dolby surround on your SB Extigy, it doesn't crash!
Who cares if you are not crashing, if you are driving 5mph all the time, in the summer heat, with no A/C... Not fun.
I remember hearing "You've got mail" in tons of movies, including James Bond flicks.
Today you think of AOL in a whole lot of trouble, tomorrow you may ask the question "Oh, AOL is still alive?, I thought they were gone already", when you hear the obscure voice of an rare AOL'er stuck in his contract he has trying to cancel for years.
Have you ever tried to open a fedex (fiber/cloth) envelope without destroying it?... I can barely get them open let alone not destroy it including the shipping label trying to.
Of course there are always ways around anything in life. Every law was invented, every rule made up. Anything is circumventable.

Yeah, too bad no one ever invented a method to make you sign for a package on delivery... hmmm, I smell a huge business opertunity!!!

You miss something. 41% of the company is HIS.
He can do whatever he wants with HIS company as long as the rules allow him.
How would you feel if you owned something worth alot and you couldn't sell?
In this case, he didn't have majority share. But if he did, there is NOTHING wrong with selling your company, even if its not what the lesser-share-holders want. If you own majority (or others vote with you), then Its YOUR decision to do what you want with YOUR company. Period.

Open source model doesn't work for most (99%?) of military and government applications.
So, its wise to spend alot of time discussing methods when you can't just "LET THE WORLD SEE".
Sure the author could throw in a one-liner "Use open source model if you can.", and make you happy, but why bother.
I guess its a good thing we A) Haven't been there since 1972, 34 years ago and B) Have no current plans of going back.
I think we better fire up a gov. contract spending billions though on figuring out how to manage SHADOWS on the moon.
So then Microsoft comes along, buys 51% of AOL, pays off Google and tells them to go away.
It'll only cost $10.2 billion dollars to make Google dissapear. Thats less than 25% of the cash sitting in the MS Bank Vault.
You don't have to install ALL the plugins. You can pick one or two!
Not really... There is only one person in the world who can support himself.
So, for one person in the world, its a pro-sport, for everyone else, they got day jobs at 7-11.
Personally I don't call it a sport until there is some critical mass... Whats the number of people? Don't know, but its not ONE.
And the number 1 has 1 digit, which is prime too! Oh man, I can't take it anymore, someone make it stop!
Even MORE fun! The number 7 has 1 digit, which is prime too! I think I wet myself.

Put a optical sensor under your keyboard and slide your keyboard around...
Now you're playing with "Mouse Only", only your mouse has 104 buttons.
Funny, I was thinking ObjC is nice and C++ "is an antiquated and bastardized attempt at object orientated programming".
Their search results are damn good too now. ask.com
Try searching for the space shuttle: "Shuttle" on google.com and ask.com... see the differences.
ATI has 60 developers on the driver devleopment team. No idea how many Nvidia has, but I bet its even more.
My brother was a marine, he disagreed with the war, so what did he do? He left.
So why not force ppl to buy a refridgerator with their Xbox 360? they could do it, and get away with it, people would pay.
I picked my parents and I'm no NFL football player.
"Growing up Mormon", is that a new TV show kinda like "Growing up Gotti"?
I'll check it out if so.

No, not every system with a GUI has Windows. Every system with a GUI has windows.
See the difference?
AOL is a verb, oh wait, was a verb.
I remember hearing "You've got mail" in tons of movies, including James Bond flicks.

Then you stay in people's friends list, and people who send you whisper/tells, it still works...
