Many of my friends use Microsoft software...... and they're very happy with it. I've often been tempted to suggest they READ the legal twaddle at the beginning of the installation. I have, until now, always considered that this would do them no kindness. I've noticed them having to validate their software with Microsoft AFTER paying money for it, and thought to draw their attention to the fact that this procedure may not be quite.... well, normal. My consideration result in silence on this subject - unkind again. What do I do ? I pay the Microsoft tax like anybody else - too much hassle not to. I hen donate three (3) copies to our local hospital - they are still standardised on Microsoft. Be kind to those who are kind to you is my thought. And I make a little on the machine upgrades.... that's the way the world turns (at least in my book).

But...but... well, I'm quite good at being me. Of course I've had lots of experience.
Has this gentleman really tried to use the Internet on a cell-'phone ? I rather think not, but if he has I'd take a bet that he wasn't paying for the connexion.
They know now, don't they. I don't think they care too much, though. If they're not winning, they sure are causing a lot of trouble - without space. Did anyone mention this to the good General. Sometimes Generals get a little carried away on the waves of their own verbosity - which, together with their tendency to get a little divorced from reality, leaves leaves we ordinary mortals somewhat perplexed.
I agree - but exploiting it becomes an option from the moment you know of its existence. From that moment on, some time is required in order to excercise the option - if you're so inclined, that is.
I'll vote for Sammy too - why not ? I'd just like the answer to one simple question. What's he going to do while he's up there ? In fact what do any of them do ? Seems to me to be a bit like climbing Everest - "because it was there". Once they're up, they hang around for a time and then come back down again.
And I personally cannot believe that a place called Warrnambool exists. Obviously, if it existed, any normal human being would be struck by lightening just for going there and the article would therefore be pure fabrication of journalistic imagination. No, it must have happened in Sydney or Reuters would never have gotten wind of it.
Bill Gates makes bum software, but he is a super marketeer. It's like when the Americans discovered kangaroo meat in tinned beef stew imported from Australia - the question was "who put the 'roo in the stew?". The question regarding this latest IE scandal might be "who put in the flaw which sticks in my craw?". My money'd be on Sire William O'Gates, a marketing gentleman of Irish descent. If you've never tried a kangaroo steak you don't know what you're missing - stick with IE; improvements are on the way, another 2 or 3 years perhaps.
I have two double-boot machines Windows XP and Mandrake Linux. I would love to swith to the classic Windows look and feel on the XP side. Don't know how. Can you help me ?
You have a point there, chum. I will pass on the obligatory comment about you having to keep your hat on - because what you're saying is more than probably true.
But the non-arrival of an expected cold beer often leads to burials in the back-yard (or the front-yard, for that matter). Perhaps the Officer had this in mind ?
Let me be the first to encourage you, sir. Life's little mysteries are there to be explored, and exercise is good. Go phor it (sorry, couldn't resist) but carefully - with the on-set of winter many of God's creatures go into hibernation, and they tend to be in a bad temper if awakened. Suggest wearing your running shoes.
Logical, I must admit. In practice and with European sleeping-bags, I have discovered that you need to zip 2 1-person sleeping bags together just to get two average size people inside. Once inside, there isn't quite enough room to roll around. Is there enough room in an American 1-person model? If so, how do you keep warm if you're by yourself? If this works, where can I get one - I'd rather carry one than two. Cheers
You misread perhaps, but I think you have a logical approach. If this gentlemen really uses dead cats - he says not - then his output could be measured in litters per litre. And, while we're at it, how about dogs ? There is my aunt's parrot also - the damn thing bit me last Sunday. How many litres per deceased elephant ? Not enough detail here.

Aw come on - give a little (vaseline maybe). Donate it, and get paid for the machine upgrade.

As an old relic, may I just say thanks. I was tempted to say "thanks, sonny" but you'll notice that I forbore.
"Military Intelligence" is an oxymoron ; a contradiction in terms, if you will.

So, after reorganisation, how many flavours of Vista/Longhorn will there be ? 7, as before, or 3 ? Just curious.
Been there, done that. Three people in that capsule. Fsck you and all of yours.

Yep ! I'm with you. Spot on. Linux is Linux and Windows is Windows. Run what you want and be happy - but leave the other guy in peace.
No, no - the man was talking about his sex life with this rubbing clouds lark.

Thanks a lot. Have a good day.

Sorry, what did you say? I fell into a comma while reading your post. Excuse me.
Maybe reuters and the others just do it for laughs. For a moment there, I had a question regarding my mother-in-law.
