The question is, how would M$ take on pdf when it's so hard to be available on as many platforms? Does anyone see Sun or alot of the linux distros supporting a proprietary M$ format?
Mac, with their XServ machines, is trying to break into the server market, and a Journaling Filesystem is one of those buzzwords that IT managers are going to require (even though there are many who will never know what a jfs is... see dilbert).
They should follow in HP's footsteps with a full refund. Then, maybe their customers can use the money to get a cool (and more honestly advertised) PDA like a Handspring or a Sony. Just my 2 cents.
As long as there are wires carrying signals to speakers and TVs, the signal can be recorded. Even if the TV must do some decoding, at some point a signal gets sent to a CRT or projector, so just record it there.
Keep the burglars out of your house with the new Microsoft Door. Complete with not dead-bolts, but tape, yes TAPE to keep it locked. Also, we've reached an all new level of user friendliness with the omission of door-knobs!!!
Java doesn't need templates because every class is a subclass of the "Object" class. If you need "template-like" behavior, declare you classes and methods of type Object.
Anytime some piece of software is spying... I should be informed during the install of this. I have a right to know who's watching me do what from my own home. How this would be enforced is beyond me, but I have the right to know.
You do realize that 650 000 000 bytes is only 919.888 MB and not 6 Gbytes (or 650 MB for that matter) don't you? So for 650 MB it REALLY should be 350000 * 6.815744e08 = 2.3855104e14 => 1.9084083e15 bits per day => 1735.6873 Tbits/day => 8.678% of all US traffic.
But then there's that US TRAFFIC thing. You assumed that the 350 000 downloads were only in the US and used the daily US traffice number. Now we both know that there are plenty of pirates in other parts of the world.
They broke the law, that's what. MS has a monopoly in the desktop OS market, something none of the other companies mentioned have. It is against the law to "leverage one monopoly to create another."
It's called competition. MS comingled IE into windows, effectively leveraging their OS mononpoly to create one in the browser arena (which is illegal, PERIOD). Taking out similar middleware would allow third parties to create software applications to do the job, and undoubtedly, some of the software would be better than what MS has provided. Some of it would most probably be free and open-source, costing the conusmer NOTHING, yet giving them the benefits provided by competition. This is supposed to be capitalism, yet MS continues to eliminate competition by taking an app, putting it in the windows code, and claiming that it's part of the OS.

Chalk this one up to survival of the fittest.

That doesn't work on all DVD's. Some movies disable the next button during the FBI warning, which is the point of his question.

I'll Trade you $25,000 for $95,000,000!! What a DEAL!!!
How many of the suits do you think actually come to sites like this and find out about all the odd places that linux is installed. They have no idea.
It's the "Mark of the beast" ... and another way for the "authorities" to invade our privacy.

try the "Integer" class, and the "Float" class. Learn some more about the language before you bad-mouth it.

Quick, Split them UP!!!!!
