How would you even GET to the Firefox website to install it if you didn't have IE included with a fresh Windows install (this isn't 1996--most people don't keep install discs for their browsers anymore).
FTP!?
Secondly, what exactly is MS supposed to do if NOT bundling their browser isn't even enough for the EC?
Did you even bother to read the summary?
(...) noting that stripping out IE from Windows 'may potentially be positive,' but 'rather than more choice, Microsoft seems to have chosen to provide less.'
As I see it, if you're given a choice you decide which browser you want to use. If you're not, which is the case here, you might not bother. Many IE users I have talked to said that the reason they used IE was simply because it was there and they didn't want to bother installing other browsers. Or they simply didn't know they had a choice.
Yeah, and it shouldn't be illegal to try to rob a bank. If they don't want it, it's their problem to stop it. It's a much faster way of winning money than just working your ass off.
And that's what they did, making it illegal to try to rob the bank. You need to come up with a better example than that.
Using scripts like these could be considered unethical, but I can hardly see it as a scam.
Consider a data set of just one number, about 1 petabyte in size, then it shouldn't really take much time to sort it, since we already know the data is sorted. Perfect excuse for using 4000 computers to beta-test Duke Nukem Forever.
You don't need any extensions. Just go to Tools -> Options (or Edit -> Preferences) -> Content, Fonts & Colors -> Advanced and uncheck 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above'.
In my opinion it would depend on the outcome of the US elections. If Obama wins US might sell or strike another deal with Russia. If McCain wins then I don't think either would be possible, simply because McCain hates Russia and Russia hates McCain.
So lets give 90% of iraqies/afghanis and iranis US citizenship and passports and then it wont be an invasion nor a future invasion when US attacks iran or whatever country is on their hitlist?
Your logic fails mainly because you assume those 90% of Iraqis/Afghans or Iranians would accept US citizenship and passports.
Desktops matter less than less these days. Notebooks are more and more important.
You are obviously not gamer. Gamers are really important group for hardware manufacturers, because they're continuously upgrading their systems and are more willing to buy expensive hardware than anyone else.

It really depends... I'm sometimes struggling with Windows.
Install Linux
Second this, but unfortunately it doesn't keep IE8 off your machine, because it runs under Wine.
look at the date the article was published.
Or making smoke without the fire. Oh... wait... that was a bad analogy.
Well, I don't know about EU, but USA can perform a "liberation war" on them
Thank God for our NATO membership!
Then, after all is done and nicely set up, they can replace the president and blame everything on the previous one
You probably mean prime minister. The only president we have is the president of our parliament.

LOL *hurt. I guess MS is not the only one who suck at the implementation ;) But my point still stands.
Because they suck at implementation, not the research. So reading it wouldn't heart anyone.
Absolutely love this game :)
Are you referring to Wing Commander Saga or the one from 1996?
Oolite - Elite clone. Aaaaa... the memories :)

well, I don't know... He did talk about destroying humanity...
Our federal government hands out money hand over fist for welfare, health benefit and education to people that have no legal right to be here.
And what's wrong with that? No, seriously...
Seriously though, 25% of the people were fooled by Elbot?
I guessing that those 25% were convinced that Elbot was a human pretending to be a robot.

You sound surprised. Slashdot doesn't support UTF-8... yet... and ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin-1) is not the same as ISO-8859-5.

Linux hasn't had any major changes in the past three years, why would you think it'll have any in the next three?
Because it hasn't had any major changes in the past three years?

Yes, they work for Sergey Brin ;)
