  1. Re:Gasp! Shock! Horror! on Microsoft Accuses European Union of Collusion · · Score: 1

    I think it is safe to say that the communication between EU and Microsoft has the same privacy involved.

  2. Re:Haven't we heard this before? on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    One there is also the considering that there are some, like myself, who would only use MSN Search if it was on a larger order of magnitude better than Google, simply because I have a byast against Microsoft products.

  3. Re:Its about time. on Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon · · Score: 1

    I see msnbot more often on my site too. However, you seem more confident than I that that translates into better search engine side listings. Considering that I am unaware of their algorithms, it could just be eating up my bandwidth.

  4. Re:sigh on China Prepares to Launch Alternate Internet · · Score: 1

    Sorry, wasn't refering to the DNS specifically, just to censorship.

    And in defense of the Chinese regime, I am sure the leaders will do what what they think will eventually bring the most wealth to them.

    My sentiments exactly. Surely there are other ways of producing DRM media, if that is infact what their business model dictates. I get all my music from allofmp3.com anyways.

    Btw, I see you have a friend who just learnt the f-word.

  7. Re:Who are you guys paying $400? on Analyst Sees 12 Million 360s by Year End · · Score: 1

    I am willing to accept job offers, currently a student at university however. And I don't advise said Ipods for the non rich either.

    No no no. Of course not, but I think with some good use of eBay and maybe an additional $100, you should be able to get yourself a pretty good CPU and VGA. Of course I could be wrong.

  9. Re:sigh on China Prepares to Launch Alternate Internet · · Score: 1

    I understand your point. However, I am not sure that the US is very much different. More covert I am sure.

  10. Who are you guys paying $400? on Analyst Sees 12 Million 360s by Year End · · Score: 1

    Who are these guys dropping $400 on what is essentially a single purpose computer? Might as well get a high performace CPU and VGA, and some USB controllers and play on a PC. And I am saying this as someone who doesn't often play games on PC. Are these guys people with full time jobs, and few bills to pay or what? I sure could use some of that money they have to spare.

    Wasn't aware that another company was supplying them with over 90% of their operating systems.

    Frankly, I wish Goodle would move their office to my country. I'm sure we could organize for less legal problems and taxes for them.

    Hence why Nintendo didn't include HD. The know that of the few of the population that has HD, people like you make up most of it. I, on the other hand, have been gaming with SNES, N64 and Gamecube, but have no HD and intend to get the Revolution.

    Aren't you assuming here that people are tring to persuade Windows users to join the Linux camp? I have long since stopped this personally. I consider Linux to be a party where everyone brings something to eat/drink. As such, I see no need to persuade anyone to come. Do you? and if so, why?
