Microsoft says Firefox not a threat to IE Vamos, who admitted he has never used Firefox, said there is a lot of hype surrounding the open-source movement and that if Microsoft's customers wanted new features, they would have told the company about it.
IEBlog - IE7 Why? Because we listened to customers, analysts, and business partners. We heard a clear message: "Yes, XP SP2 makes the situation better. We want more, sooner. We want security on top of the compatibility and extensibility IE gives us, and we want it on XP. Microsoft, show us your commitment."
I love how Microsoft contradicts itself and BS's their 'customer responses'.
Microsoft disgusts me, I thought it was common knowledge that Unix was written for networking, while Windows and Dos were originally standalone operating systems. Windows even contains some BSD code for their networking protocols. I hope no one is foolish enough to get the license. Knowledge should be free.
Why not just query the Microsoft Registration Database? Everyone uses it and it won't cost the senate a thing! Well except for the minor license fees they place on every profile...
Last time I checked, it wasn't difficult to create sites that are compatible with all browsers. I have both Windows and Linux on my machine, so when I develop a site I check it with IE, FireFox, Konqueror, and Opera. That makes sure it is viewable with all major HTTP engines. There are usually only subtle differences that need changing as long as you use standard tools like Dreamweaver, Bluefish, or (insert text editor here). Of course flash, gif, jpeg, and png are supported in basically every graphical browser. Don't settle for making your site geared towards one browser. Your largest potential customer could be the weird guy running (insert hated browser here).
Well as you all know, Microsoft is more secure than Linux and has a lower Total Cost of Ownership. *snickers* That's why they're getting sued for predatory pricing. Personally I'd like to sue them for lying.
Next they'll probably buy ownership of the license for dosemu which means they practically own MS-DOS which means they own the IP for Windows 9x which has a similar GUI as Windows NT based versions.... so technically they own Windows. Maybe they'll sue Microsoft and win this time.
Some Linux fanatics might fear the release of Longhorn from all the supposed improvements... but now I think this is a joke. (no offense to anyone who defends Windows, I'm not trying to start a flame war) But why would you want to build a PC that powerful just to run an OS that sucks up 80% of the resources? That would be like grabbing a refurbished computer now with 800mhz and 128mb of ram and running XP. You could run Linux though (probably BSD too, never tried it long enough) with pretty good usability, applications that on average do as good as their proprietary counterparts, better security (again, not trying to start a flame war here), and uses a relatively tiny amount of the computer's power.. so that you can focus the CPU and RAM on where ever you really want it (games, massive databases, major multitasking, deticated server, mission critical tasks, etc)
This isn't funny... April Fools is already over. They port MS Powerpoint to Linux using someone else's work (Crossover Office maybe), then bash the original project, hack their own logos in, and redistribute it as their own original program only for a few hundred dollars... Maybe I should start work on 'Phase 3' of a program that will constantly upgrade your hardware....
The only thing it's missing now (IMO) is spellcheck and an online translator, which I'm sure they're already planning. I'm also looking forward to Gmail being open to the public. After they conquer these 3 thing, whats next.. Google ISP? Google National Army?
Is there a single serious article today? I shouldn't have waited until last minute to write my "Technology Today" report.. that does mean 'today' doesn't it?
What is this 'Apache' and 'PHP' that you speak of? What is wrong with Telnet, IRC, and Shell? It is much more dynamic than using all these new technologies, and it runs well on my Tandy computer.
Maybe I can swallow that motherboard and some other computer components with a cord coming out of my ass for periphials... the next generation wearable computer!

Wow, so Microsoft has discovered how to allow long passwords... something Unix/Linux has done for years. Welcome to the world.

I bet the homeless people will be happy.
Thank you, atleast someone gets it. I'm a native Perl programmer and rarely use C, so sorry about the elsif mistake to anyone who cares :)
Although, I misspelled candidate because I was too lazy to type it in Google.
try to make a point and the only thing people notice is the syntax errors... only on slashdot
here's the code the used during the last election:
if (strcmp(canidate,"Bush"))
bushvotes += 10;
elsif (strcmp(canidate, "Nater"))
bushvotes += 1;
elsif (strcmp(canidate, "Gore"))
gorevotes = 1;

If they paint it blue, that would just remind me of IBM (Big Blue). I'd have alot more respect for an IBM building than a Microsoft one.

what about SourceMage? I use Gentoo, but I was considering SourceMage along the way, and it looks like a valid competitor.

...Just my 2 cents I guess, for what it's worth.

I guess all that's left now is the ISP and National Army

What is bluetooth? Some sort of disease? You might want to have the dentist take a look. Doesn't sound too healthy.
