Switching your email client to Eudora would help, and Eudora is far superior to Microsoft's offering anyway.
However, be careful with Eudora, because if you don't manually change it, Eudora uses the 'Microsoft HTML viewer' code to view mail with HTML content in it. Turning that off in configuration makes all that web page garbage people send you by clicking 'Mail' on the toolbar of IE look like crap, but it protects you from some problems you're otherwise exposed to.
The Eudora folks have been providing a good Email client for Mac and Windows systems since long before Microsoft realized there was an Internet out there.
I recently switched to Sylpheed on Linux, from Eudora on Windows. Am I still vulnerable?
Why would anybody consider 'Outlook' to be anything but an icon that needs to occasionally be deleted from the icon tray on the toolbar? (Microsoft frickin' reinstalls it periodically with service packs, etc.)
You mean the Spanish 8 Real coin, don't you? Where did this Mexico bit come in? The phrase 'two bits' refers to the fact that people made 'change' by slicing Spanish 8 Real coins up into quarters, to make a Quarter Dollar, and the American Silver dollar was based on the Spanish 8 Reals coin or the 'Piece of 8.'
I have some Spanish 8 Real coins. They're also referred to as 'Spanish Milled Dollars' and yes, they were the main currency in the US for a time. Dunno why anybody would imagine that colonial Spanish coins that happened to be minted in Mexico would be 'Mexican.' And nobody at all referred to it as a Peso. It was 'Spanish Milled dollar.'
There is significant artwork extant showing that the U imposed on an S is the basis of the 'dollar sign.' Mexican nationalism and pride all aside.
I've responded to the OO nagscreen twice by going to the website it brings up and registering. I've responded many multiple times by clicking 'I registered'. There's no 'Bug Off' button to click. This isn't the place to complain about a particular app, though, so I'll 'bug off.'
Your musty old 'class warfare' terminology needs a little airing out, dood.
Ditch the timeworn 'French Enlightement' terminology for your contrived 'social classes.' It makes you look like a damned fool. Or a fucking Trotskyite. As if there's a difference.
The historical meaning of $ is a U superimposed on an S.
In Mexico and many other places, the $ symbol essentially can be translated 'We're using this symbol, but really the US came up with the idea first. We're kinda 0wned in that regard.'
Nope. Bill Gates donates cash. Not 'software, CDs of Office and XP.'
There's nothing wrong, I suppose, with having an anti-Microsoft sentiment overall. I'm personally in the process right now of moving all my home and home-business operations off Microsoft**. I'm not that fond of Microsoft. But even I know that the Gates Foundation giving is seperate from Microsoft and that it's cold cash they're distributing.
(** why the hell does OpenOffice pop up that damned 'Register Now' dialogue EVERY TIME I open it, even though I've registered it? And why is it such a fucking resource pig, even on this Pentium III 500 machine with 768 megs of RAM? I can run the important bits of Office 2000 reasonably well on my 486DX-2 75MHz laptop. Well, xfig and LyX do most of what I need anyway.)
It depends a lot on the kind of stuff you buy on eBay.
I have noticed that my wife, who buys what I would call 'cheap trashy things' on eBay, like 'collectable christmas ornaments,' runs with a less reputable crowd. Likewise, buying or selling 'new laptops' on eBay is a crapshoot.
But there are different crowds buying and selling different things. I mostly buy and sell in pure 'geek' categories (things you're almost entirely unable to buy any other way, like used Sun hardware) and I find it an ethical 'geek' community I deal with.
No company could do such, and survive in the rarified 'environment' that it exists as a part of. Microsoft/IBM/Shell/Haliburton/etc. are all corporations, which would be litigated out of existence if they did such a thing. They're entities created out of a social structure that would 'vaporize' them for doing such a thing. I mean, it would make the hysterial surrounding 'Enron' look like the political media show that it largely is.
He doesn't necessarily have it installed, though. I installed it for Mozilla on my Slack box last week and since all it seems to give me thus far is animated advertising that I can't 'block from this server' like graphics, it might be uninstalled real soon.
The 5-1/4" diskettes are actually much more reliable. When in a tyvek or paper sleeve, they are sealed against dust and will last a long time stored.
3-1/2" diskettes are completely open to the elements, plus more 'durable' so they give people the illusion that they can be tossed around. They actually should be stored in sleeves just like the 5-1/4" diskettes if you want to keep them around. It's completely out of the queston to carry them lose in a shirt pocket. The opening in the back for the spindle is wide open.
Any GEM or Geoworks fan can tell you that Windows 1.03 sucks.
I mean, I have actual 'killer apps' for GEM, like Ventura Publisher. I have one app for Windows 1.03 that actually makes it worth running (In*A*Vision) but that's about it.
I installed them on a Compaq Portable III just last month. They worked great. I didn't do the install off the originals, they are far too rare and valuable to use for the 'regular grind.' I made copies of them using the PC-DOS 3.3 'diskcopy' command to brand new 5-1/4" floppies and worked from the copies.
I don't have a 5-1/4" drive installed on any 'modern' hardware at present. It would be good to image them using WinImage or the 'dd' command. I think I probably did that eight or more years ago, though, when I got my first CD writer and was imaging all my floppies and stuff.
The sequence is 'Alt, f, x, y' because it prompts you to save. You learn shortcuts like that if you're sentenced to DOS edit for any period of time.
I've been in a twitchlike state for the last several days because I've been heavily editing ~/.fvwm2rc in emacs and I'm so used to vi keystrokes. Really, if they were being nice, emacs would somehow code in friendly protection against the weird mess you find yourself in issuing rapidfire vi keystrokes in it.
Yes, I know there is almost certainly a 'vi emulation mode' written in Lisp.
I have Windows 1.03 on original Installation floppy diskettes.
If Windows 1.03 had come on CD and I had burned a CDR copy of it back then, the CD likely wouldn't be readable, i.e. it'd be old enough that it would have decayed.
Anyhow. Let's keep on being all snotty and zealous about how many months it's been since we used a floppy disk. Or whatever.
But there are hundreds of different motherboards. Apple supports OSX on how many?
Also, your limited perspective on plug-in cards for x86 clone hardware shows that you're not aware of the huge amount of stuff PC users plug into their 'boxes.' You forgot tons and tons of stuff (lots of it crap) that people drag along with them when they get a new system. Don't pretend everbody uses either a Nvidia or an ATI graphics card. That would promote the illusion that there aren't tons of people out there with cheap x86 boards with SiS graphics chips, etc. If you're gonna start limiting, from the onset, which machines people can install OSX on, the whole subject changes to 'Apple sanctioned small subset of the x86 hardware out there' not the real world.
OSX on x86 clone hardware would resemble Solaris on x86 clone hardware. Nobody pretends that Solaris/X86 is anything close to the reliability and robustness of Solaris on real Sun hardware (Sparc).
Apple is happy with there being limited driver support on macs. They want people buying Apple hardware. It's really not a complicated thing.

Here is a Spanish Milled Dollar reference. And here's the official info about it from the US Mint.
'Mexican Peso' indeed. Harumph.

It's amusing how people like you have it all figured out, except, of course, how to earn the money you're so enthusiastic about distributing.
A nickel and a modern liberal arts degree in economics should get you a coffee when it's on special. But you doubtless don't even have the degree.
Actually, Linux is more of a precipitate than a solution.
Mind you, I like hanging around here in the bottom of the beaker more than I would swirling around up in the middle and top regions.

The whole of government as we know it.
Why are you calling this 'democracy'?
No company could do such, and survive in the rarified 'environment' that it exists as a part of.

Money doesn't appear out of nowhere.
Farms in Kentucky are not given away for free.
Your attempt to blur the issue is fairly typical.
Why would you assume the granparent was talking about exterminating 'terrorism?'
He was talking about exterminating Al Queda.
And if you don't believe the US response to the 9/11 Attack has been a deterrent, you're living in a dream world.
He doesn't necessarily have it installed, though. I installed it for Mozilla on my Slack box last week and since all it seems to give me thus far is animated advertising that I can't 'block from this server' like graphics, it might be uninstalled real soon.
