Oh, puhleeze, and people here complain about Microsoft spreading FUD.
There is no "Windows' garbage collection", there is no BSOD on X-box, and most of the hiccups that I have seen in games have been on braindead ports from old PS2 games.
If you look here you can see a whole bunch of "special" Google URL that automatically limit searches to certain domains. Most of these are actually universities.
Yep, and if someone doesn't want to serve homosexual people or black people or people that are afraid of iguanas at their restaraunt, it's their choice too. Right?
FWIW the DVD remote for the X-box is exactly the same as for the RCA5215 DVD player. The only difference is colors of the button and the fact that the power button on the RCA = the "Display" button on X-box.
Of course, you still need the little receiver to plug into one of the controller ports on the X-boxy, but this could be useful to know if you want to use a universal remote on the X-box for some reason.
Why can't they just sell some more of the friggin "broadband adapter" ethernet cards. Does anyone know of a way to hack together one without blowing the money on an overpriced ebay auction?
Yeah, at $150 for the broadband adapter (or whatever they're going for on EBAY these days), you can spend $230 and have the technology of 1999 in your home today. What a bargain. That's almost 25% off the price Xbox for a two-year old toy.
If all areas of the registry are completely "locked down", I don't even think a lot of *existing* application would run, let alone installing new ones.
If you think Microsoft values Windows so little that it "would happily sell it for a loss" to help the other parts of the company, you're nuts.
According to the MSFT 2001 annual report (look here), desktop platform revenue was $8 billion. This does not even in include Client Access Licenses for things like access NT file shares.
For some reason a lot of people think the OS is some sort of loss leader to sell the applications. Nothing could be further from the truth. The OS is the absolute core of the business. Why do you think they will go to such desperate measures to protect it?

Actually, the First Amendment outlaws the the suppression of speech by the government (at least a specific part of it).

Anybody here ever see a movie, play, or TV show called "The Odd Couple".
It's just funny to have two different types of people as roomates, and Bert and Ernie are just a derivative of Oscar and Felix.
Uh, gzip is all fine and good, except in this case it probably would have made the problem *worse*.
I don't recall them saying that bandwidth was ever a bottleneck. Causing the slash servers to do even *more* processing (ie compression) doesn't seem like it would have helped much.
Do you do your admin work from "every system"? No, I didn't think so.
So, I guess as long as there are remote admin clients for the systems you use to do remote administration, it's just as good as having one on "every system".
There isn't much that can't be done with a combination of telnet/ssh and the Terminal Services client.
The actual development of new drugs is highly government funded. So these patents are a very insidiuos form of corporate welfare
Please cite one example where the government has funded the development of a drug. I'm not talking about some basic research that eventually, years later, leads to a developed drug, but the actual development (i.e. clinical trial process) of the drug itself.

I "especialy" hate it when people misspell words while complaining about how bad spell checkers are. :)

According to the article, 200 million people use the passport service? Where can they possibly be getting figures that justify a statement like that?
Do 200 million people even use the web?
I hope your "legal" method of picking those up wasn't off an auction site or classified ads.
Nobody can sell those products at that price and even break even, let alone turn a profit.

Get over it.
"$1000 for a new low-end computer"????
Where do you buy your low-end PCs? The airport gift shop? You can buy a pretty darn powerful computer for $600-750 even at retailers like Best Buy.
Evidence please?
Actually it is exactly the same.
Both violate copyright in exactly the same way. You just happen to "like" one way better than another.

Yeah, you're right we should sit around in paranoid fear and mourning for weeks just like those sickos would want.
Microsoft killed all other word processor/spreadsheet vendors by having a more integrated package.
What makes anyone think people don't want bundled software?
Plus what he's talking about has already been done. Office is basically a consistently skinned collection of COM controls.
I don't believe for a damn second that the plane crashes caused those building to collapse.
If you watch the video of the second tower falling, it looks just about like when they do a planned demolition of a large building.
I have to believe there was some other type of explosive "assisting" there.
Note that you don't see near the level of damage at the Pentagon, where presumably it would be much harder to plant explosives and the like.
Uh, *50,000* people work in the WTC.
It's definitely not Pearl Harbor. It's worse. This is not a military installation they attacked
Boy, if our CEO read your message I'm sure he would be scrambling to find out where he picks up his paycheck for the same amount we spend on R&D.
Since about 25% of our revenue goes back to R&D, he'd be making a cool $750 mil a year. Not too bad, even for a CEO salary.
