By that measure Bill Gates deserves to die for all the time I (and the rest) lost due to BSOD.
But wait! he's on the philanthropic bandwagon, buying his time/life back?? phew, maybe we'll call it even if I don't pay any more money to charity, Bills paying for me.
Does that mean that it is OK to download Forrest Gump off the net?
From what you're saying, by me buying the DVD they make nothing? So do they just break even or make a loss? Nahh, they'd have to break even or they wouldn't bother. Heck, I'd go as far as saying they make some profit.
So the net would have them get their message out there without the cost of production.

True, if it were open source it would be that much more wonderful, but as for closed-source programs, IMHO it's an example of a company Doing It Right.
I couldn't agree more. If Mozilla even for a second lose control of the situation then the end result for Firefox could be worse than, say, Windoze. It may even eclipse IE as the most used and unpopular browser on Earth. Maybe by then it will have been abandoned. There's a lot to be said for controlled project management. The amount of crappy suggestions for additions to software I get at work boggles the mind. Hopefully those writing the extentions for Firefox and those adopting them into their browser keep in mind that in many cases Less is More.
Hip boots LOL!!!
You need to use it until all facial indicators turn red. Failing that, increase the output until they turn blue. It often also helps to increase the output signal in short sharp bursts. If this still fails then it is likely that the receivers are non-functional.
I'm off to patent IsNt, the abbreviated form, which is not to be confused with ISnt which I'm using in the mailtool. I plan also it's synonymous offsider Aint, not to be confused with my new invention, AInt.
I suspect that the interpretation of this as "proper software reuse" is a little too naieve. If MS were interested in proper software reuse then the OS would not have such a large footprint.
No, I would put my money on the belief that they wanted it to be impossible to go without it whilst remaining useable/functional. This strategy may change with the new release, but I doubt it. For now though it remains wasted space on my drive (Opera user here), and I can't see the fact that it's impossible to remove is making my life any better.
Now, if they really wanted to do it properly they would have the browser engine as a plugin to the OS, then you could run the IE, Opera, Firefox, etc engine plugins and use whatever interface tickles your fancy.
Go and get StrokeIt for Windows - and spread mouse gestures to all your software.
I've been using OPERA long enough that I cannot do without mouse gestures in other software (such as IE and Firefox should the requirement arise). This will add that functionality to these programs and most of anything else you use. Worth a look!!
I love this game - it rocks - it still rocks!! I even own more than one copy just in case I need to give it to someone or the house burns down. I have -wasted- hours playing this networked and I am yet to find a match for it's playability.
You cant play it on late PCs, so I'm keeping the PII around just for this game.
Go N.E.W.S.T!

Yeah! I want to run Office 2000 on my Spectrum.

Does this mean the CPU will be able to erase EPROMs in the same box? :)
