Really, all you're interested in for E-mail or VoIP is not whether the person really is Simon Johnson, of Widnes, based in the United Kingdom who is 23 years old with a pet dog called Thornton. You're actually interested in whether this Ckwop guy I'm speaking to now is the same guy as I spoke to last-time.
What I am really interested in is whether or not the person I am talking with is real and accountable. I do not want to talk with some ficticious identity multiple times, as Zimmerman would proffer as something beneficial.
The Mac is Microsoft's antitrust insurance card. It only costs them ~5% lower market share to keep the government mostly off their backs.
That is exactly correct. Microsoft has always used the Mac as their anti-trust insurance card.
Just look at the partially-functional, partially-compatible Mac version of Microsoft Office. Just enough compatibility to read most Windows documents, not enough compatibility to be a threat to the core cash-cow Windows Microsoft Office business.
they have yet to suggest any sort of Linux platform support.
That is one of the main goals behind Silverlight, to take control of the active media web content delivery mechanisms, so that Microsoft can provide support only for "friendly" operating systems.
Do you really think that Microsoft would do anything to promote the Linux platform on the desktop?
It's all in the degree. If you make your living off of selling items in your yard sale, then I suspect your town would want a selling permit, and the IRS would want a cut.
However, the here and there, once in a while yard sale does not need to give the IRS a cut.
In this incident, a non-copyright holder demanded the videos be removed, and they were.

Hmmm... didn't Microsoft once propose small, decentralized computing clients only to come back to more centralized computing via Windows Terminal Server?
letting the bill expire would mean re-patching a lot of systems again next year. So much for saving energy."
Instead of just letting the bill expire, I propose changing to another set of dates for the spring and fall DST changes. Let's see, the spring DST change would occur on the third Tuesday after the second full moon of the year. The fall DST change would occur two weeks and three days after peak fall foliage occurs in northern Vermont.
a) The Dysons are not an order of magnitude better, as it often seems to be claimed;
That is exactly correct.
It is not a superior quality and/or performance of the Dyson vacuums, it is the snooty, feigned-upscale saturation advertising that has embedded the Dyson name into pop culture.
The Dyson vacuums work well. Other, more conventional vacuums work as well or even better. With the Dyson vacuums, however, you are paying a significant amount of money to support the broad-ranging and extensive marketing campaigns.
Personally, I'd rather give my money to a company that spends it more on engineering than marketing.
Last-minute DST Patches Create Headaches for Exchange Admins (article)
While Microsoft began releasing software patches that take account of the new, earlier shifts to Daylight Savings Time months ago, panic calls from admins everywhere suggest that businesses may be waiting until the last minute to install them.
As a result, an Info-Tech Research Group bulletin this morning describes, Microsoft's technical support personnel only just this week discovered that its various patches for Windows, Exchange Server, Outlook, and other tools should be installed in a precise order, otherwise they may not actually be patching networks.
According to an Info-Tech Advisor bulletin begun last Tuesday and updated since, in response to advice from Info-Tech and others, Microsoft updated its DST Knowledgebase bulletin to reflect a more proper order of installation for all the various patches the company has released. However, Info-Tech cautions, the older edition of Microsoft's instructions remain online, and is still being linked to by other documents. As a result, some of the consulting firm's business clients are reporting problems that may have been caused by separate divisions of their companies following two (or more) different sets of instructions.
The person who wrote the article hasn't a clue. Does he really think that Windows is easy to use or support?? If he does, then ask him about daylight savings time....

Still wondering why you need a security-challenged web browser on a server, hardened or not.

This must really be a slow news day....
With disk space becoming less and less expensive with each passing week, any of the compressors would work fine for nearly everyone's need.
Has a nice ring to it.
Does that mean my PC costs one-quarter of what he calculates?
... it means they are afraid of it.

The module in question is found here. (slow to load)
Here is a reference to a more informative report.

No advances will be allowed unless they are sanctioned by Microsoft via Internet Explorer.
It's deja vu all over again.

Why, Microsoft Windows, of course.
That is exactly correct.

No wonder Microsoft never has any real innovation.
Funny how the link in the summary just so happens to point to site that wants to sell you stuff.

HDSNL is the hard disk's serial number
Microsoft bypasses the hosts file for their own hosts.
You mean we may now actually have some musical variety on the airwaves?
