{the religious right needs to recognize that the tend to assume no time gap between Genesis 2 and 3.}
Therein lies the problem. A scientist wouldn't need to tie in the bible, but the other way around - he would try to age the bible and it's authentication.
A religious scientist, on the other hand, needs to prove the bible is the holy grail to authenticate his belief (or faith, or whatever).
The biggest problem is that religious people have a 'belief' without no scientific evidence, and seem to ignore that (or use psuedo-science to prove it) - they just 'believe'. Sure, religious people can be scientists as they then use scientific measures, but it rarely works the other way around - I mean, how many religious scientists use methods to determine their belief? None.
Religion should not ever be associated with science, as it makes a mockery of proper science.
... reading the posts here is that Microsoft went out of their way to make sure IE in any form was integral to the operation of Windows.
So MS _deliberately_ made sure that other browser run worse than IE on a Windows system.
Then, after the original court order, they couldn't really backtrack to what they insisted that 'IE cannot be removed' and offer a choice of browsers to use.

To be honest, for the average home/small company user there is to much crap going on. Why not just produce a bog standard word processor and spreadsheet application without all the 1000's of bells and whistles? I doubt 99.9999999% of people use 99.99% of the crap included in some of the stuff.
Back port to a simple, fast thing that just gets the job done in a few seconds.
I guessMS somewhere in their licensing of this stuff have a clause that states they are not liable. Basically, 'bollocks to the Customers' when we fuck up [again].
So I cannot understand why people use them at all (once bitten, twice shy, twice bitten.. etc.).
Microsoft must demand that, and also the options to disallow users to turn it off - and the OEM's somehow follow like sheep.
Surely if you put a pre-installed MS OS on the thing, turn it ON. But at least let the tech-savvy be allowed to turn it off to allow installation of anything else they wish to do.
I mean, the USER actually owns the machine, not Microsoft.
Grammar checking is always fuzzy in a computer algorithm. And because people do not understand grammar (especially in pure English) they rely on word processor nonsense.
That is why it is always crap, and perhaps also explains why (especially young) people cannot do correct grammar (i,e, correct grammar is a bit hard to learn, like it takes work - but letting the computer do it [wrongly] is easy).

This is how the roomba vacuum cleaners navigate, isn't it? What's new?

99.9% is stated there a lot of times. Is that over a 1000 years?
If not, that is about 1 day a year outage (when Customers go tits-up).
They are keeping their promise, it seems.

That would cost me a bomb being in England - cheaper to give my bandwidth away...
Seeing as you need to use a Microsoft system to run any form of IE, then you have no competition with any other browser on other systems.
... you have 'licensed it' from MS. There is a big difference.
RMS coded GCC by himself - it was only later others got on board:
GCC history
And. of course, if it wasn't for RMS and GCC. Linus would not have been able to get a 'free' compiler for his project.
RMS is the seed of all of this. Don't knock him or his values. It is why we have a great 'free' OS (in all it's varieties) today.

This is weird, or is that wired?
But turn the bloody thing on anyway?

MS don't own Dell yet. But that is irrelevant - they can change the rules any time they want too {embrace period}
All the time Microsoft have control, they will always have control.
Why don't people LEARN from history from how they operate?
This will all go horribly wrong, mark my words.
And I still do not understand how Microsoft get to control this.
I guess this means 'friendly fire'.

Yes, I guess he's new here - I was joking of course
I just pre-paid £140.00 for MS Office on Gnu/Linux! :(
Why do submariners need to watch this? I thought they would all be having sex or something when it's quite.
What I do not understand is WHY people need to 'share' and 'edit' word processor documents or spreadsheets 'on line' anyway. Why?
Why do you yanks have to analyse everything? Just get on and play the bloody game.
1+1=2 they all had. Obviously cheats.
