  1. Re:Shareware? on Microsoft Patents the Crippling of Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    I have original copies of the Windows(r) 3.0 and prior "Microsoft(tm)" programs, mislabeled as "Operating System". So they don't know the difference between OS and programs, thus that software patent gets invalidated by the existence of shareware.

  2. Re:Heh heh. on ICANN Plans to Charge Fees to .net Domain Owners · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, as Gates said: "The internet is a pasing fad". He also promised that MSN was going to be bigger than internet, that is, internet will only be a small part into MSN, and not viceversa.

  3. Vaporware on Gates Explains Longhorn Delay, Diet · · Score: 1

    The fud I'm seeing nowadays about this piece of shit that just doesn't exist, took to my head another highly-announced-never-released filesystem, the OOFS that the newsgroups were fillled about, being the next-great-thing after Windows95, that would be included in Windows NT 5 (Cairo?). Maybe we'll see that OOFS anytime soon, in NT 5.3 (I don't know the codename of the next version to de next version of Shorthorn). It's also possible that Microsoft will release it ten years after talking much-and-great about it everywhere (that would imply that WinFS would be released in 2018)

  4. Re:so that would explain on HP Memo Predicts MS Patent Attacks on Open Source · · Score: 1

    I've got the original disk (5'1/4") diskette of Microsoft Windows 3.1 "Operative System" in front of me. (WTFH)

  5. Is MSIE a "browser". No! on PC Magazine Reviews Firefox, Opera · · Score: 2, Informative

    Let me explain: We'll take the browser word as all of we are thinking, ie. a program that displays/navigates webpages. Web pages are HTML, transferred to the browser using HTTP. HTTP is a "defined" standard, and it marks as REQUIRED the compliance with some other RFC docs, one of them being the URI definition doc, in which is allowed the proto://user:pass@site/path that MSIE disabled in one of the latest 500 patches. Let's do some 1-1=0 MSIE doesn't support http, and then it shouldn't be called browser.
