What I think is more interesting is that it detected RealVNC as a spyware program, I find it to be a really nice administration tool so I don't have to run all over the place all the time. I thought Microsoft was trying to make our lives easier not harder;)
Definitely the best of both worlds, this might actually get me to upgrade from my archaic IIIc when/if it comes out. If I were able to easily write programs for my Palm using my native/favorite environment that would make it significantly more useful to me.
Anyone else notice that Linux Today is sponsored by Microsoft?
It is ironic isn't it?
They want us to "see the light", the great Microsoft god must give all non-believers a chance at redemption so it can feel good when it casts us all into hell.
...but instead producing toxic and radioactive waste for which we still have no long term storage solution.
The radioactive material we put in reactors is toxic and radioactive BEFORE we put it in the reactor, it's just in your backyard instead of a holding tank or mountain.
Restricting knowledge only serves to retard growth, and keep the 'special ones' in power.
Giving people the knowledge that the "special ones" have power over them won't change that fact, it will just frighten them and laws will be passed to restrict research. As long as material is free to move throughout the community that understands its implications you won't be retarding growth. If you want to get access to this kind of material you should hope you have an educational system that allows people to enter into the community and participate. Free informational access is not always a good thing - unequal education makes information dangerous in the wrong hands.
Not to mention the possible side effects of having a radio transmitting from inside a human body for long periods of time.
RFID chips don't use wavelengths capable of causing damage (radio waves don't have enough energy to punch pieces of your DNA out). Your privacy concerns are probably valid but from a health standpoint you have more to worry about the radiation from sleeping with your SO then you do from radio waves.
Sorry, I can't seem to find my funny bone. Yes, the point is that the mistake is a common real world blunder that causes serious problems and it's not confined to those learning the trade.
As for warning messages, ignoring them makes you feel like a professional programmer who's not scared of computers. What better way of showing one's experience as a programmer than delivering a program that generates dozens, no, hundreds of warning messages when it compiles without its author feeling the slightest bit concerned? Everyone can see that you're an experienced, laid-back programmer who is too busy to waste time on drivel.
A lot of compiler warning messages are there for a reason, at least in gcc, and they should not be ignored. This arrogance is what causes many of the bugs we see in software today, there are some messages that can be ignored but you will eventually learn what they are and find out there was probably a better way to try and do whatever is was you were doing and that way won't involve a warning.
So maybe, just maybe, it's a good idea to actually get some excercise on your bike? You're probably going to work to sit at a desk all day, so you could burn a few calories on the way there and back to make up for your big mac at lunch.
Hey (*dink* *dink*), it looks like you're trying to write a letter.......
Does anyone have an english version of the clippy commercials saved? I found a taiwan copy (http://www.microsoft.com/taiwan/office/clippy/) but I miss the good old english one that microsoft mysteriously removed.
Nope - no windows partition, UT2004 native and Doom 3 under WINE.

Personally I'm a fan of the AMD FX-53 with a 10,000 RPM SATA-150 drive GeForce 6800 and 2GB of DDR400* running a 2.6.8 Linux kernel and utilitizing 6+ desktops with at least 1 memory-hog running on each one. But that's me, I just like to leave all my programs running and switch to the desktop that has the one I need.
That's not true, it may have taken me a long time to find it but I found a copy of Nasty Magnus (a count basie tune that almost no-one has) when the song is impossible to find anywhere else.
It'd be interesting if MS started including Firefox instead of IE, I bet they waste a ton of cash on IE development when they could just include someone else's browser and add an extension for things like Windows Update.
The fact that no one else seems to have seen this is evidence that WinXP is indeed more stable than Win9x.
I have seen the BSOD on XP several times, and yes - it does reboot almost instantly. I've even run into the problem on boot, so I couldn't even change the option if I wanted to because I couldn't read the error code to look it up and fix the machine. Ended up having to run the repair tool on the CD and it fixed whatever it was that was wrong (not preferred way of fixing things).

IBM, HP, Sun, and others have ALL either stood behind or promised to stand behind their Linux patent interests. Ballmer's statement is a blatant lie and he knows it.

I'd say let's start the clock and see how long this takes to get fixed but...
If you start the clock now then it's about -7 days.

I think GNU actually has the prior art:
GNU isNot Unix
How about Fallout? I can't imagine how the original poster could forget about that one. BTW - you can't go to their website, it's been gone for ages.
I work in Lafayette, does anyone know his address?
And on a Linux PC it presents itself as a broken CD.
:)
Maybe they could make it appear as an ext3 file system with a bunch of MP3 files so we don't even have to go to any trouble to rip the files off

We're supposed to be rooting for the underdog (we've kind of got that theme here).
They need to give IT people the ability to block IE, it's more dangerous than any removable storage device.
