They're hardly making progress. They've made an appeal, and while that's being handled the sanctions aren't in effect. Yet. If they lose the appeal, which I expect they will seeing as how they did what they were accused of, they sanctions will still be there. They might be amended... Some changed, others removed, or added. But all in all, Microsoft hasn't won anything yet.
Well, he did say "maintain" and asked to be shown where Linux took marketshare from Microsoft... On the desktop, Microsoft still rules supreme, on servers, they never did to begin with. The more things change...
Aye, if everyone only invests in "proven techonologies" we can forget about progress... Sure, we'll probably refine things, but some new ones would be nice. We can't rely on the guys in basements to do everything... Somebody has to do the hard science that at least on the surface offers little. If the NASA is the one to do it, more power -and funding- to them.

Sounds like the name of a firm of lawyers in the parenthesis, doesn't it? They can't ALL be evil.

Think about it. 60 percent, same as a year ago. In that year, how many of last year have already switched? As at least 40% WAS interested, quite a few, I'd think. Meaning people have changed their mind in the meantime and now DO want broadband.
The obvious answer: Sure it will. Assuming the ability to have them will in fact be used by the software running on the thing - which may still take a while.
Not necessarily... We only see zero-day hacks that are detectable. Going through the trouble of getting the Windows source code suggests you're after something else than just the average virus worm... Remember those are in it for the short haul. Do a lot of damage before the virus scanners catch up with you. The black-hats gaining access to the source would likely not be in it for the short haul, but looking for longer-term profit. An exploit would be worth a lot more if it wasn't discovered criminals were using it, and could be used on choice, hand-picked targets only.
True, compromising a few hundred or thousand computers isn't anywhere near as spectacular as Code Red. But the criminals aren't in it for spectacle, they're in it for money or power.
I don't mean to offend but I'm not going to consider it serious competition until it's managed a few months/years of actual use, as opposed to being merely a beta product that isn't even out for the public yet.
Are you capable of drawing any female pornstar so that she looks different enough from the others that the search engine can find her?
More important, would you actually CARE if it came up wrong?:D
Yes indeed. We're currently looking into getting the 100 meter war dash into the Olympic program. We were originally going for a war marathon but were advised that most of our target population wouldn't make it that far in a reasonable time.
Okay, so taking Bill Gates' credit card resulted in 3 million dollar in damages. Assuming that figure's actually correct, anyone want to bet those sites are still insecure?:)

Is it just me or is a scientific database every idiot can add to a bad idea?
Bet I can predict the mood of the webserver, and it isn't happy. Anyone have a mirror?

RTFA. He didn't do that. His sponsor PROMISED to pay him, and didn't deliver on that promise.
That's a translation? Into what language? :)
Show your email publicly, and we'll see what we can do for you... :)

Whatever happened to Star Trek?

Do you really want me to answer that?

That's gotta hurt. The truth has an annoying way of doing that... When you're Real.

Of course I'm leaving! The *ship* is *SINKING*!
That would work, but who wins? Aside from the lawyers, that is. Those always win.
Yes indeed. We're currently looking into getting the 100 meter war dash into the Olympic program. We were originally going for a war marathon but were advised that most of our target population wouldn't make it that far in a reasonable time.
Nope. But then, the lawyers don't want the RIAA to win. They're trying to win themselves. And succeeding marvelously, bu the looks of things.
