Didn't Microsoft pay someone (godaddy?) to get a very significant number of parked domains moved to Microsoft's web server software in the past year or so?

And there you go with the problem with it. OpenBSD has no holes in the install...
Regardless of how you use an operating system, if the OS foundation is not secure, then anything you put on top of it cannot be secure.
At least OpenBSD provides the secure foundation upon which you can build what you'd like. The security of what you build on top of OpenBSD is your responsibility.
The Freedom of the Press is not an absolute right. If it were absolute, then a reporter could break into my house anytime he wanted in order to get a news story.

Only when this case makes it to the Supreme Court will we know whether drone usage in these types of cases are legal. Until then, there will be lots of discussion.

... I hate UI designers. They break everything they touch.
UI designers are constantly trying to stay relevant. That is why they are continually changing the UI. They say the new version is better. They *always* say the new version is better. But a UI designer does not understand the very real difference between "different" and "better". To a UI designer, "different" is better, by definition. That is why they are always changing UIs, usually for the worse.
After a 5-year long campaign by European and U.S. digital rights NGOs, today the European Parliament turned a dubious Commission proposal on its head to safeguard the principle of net neutrality. It’s a historic win, and all over the news. It also shows how digital rights advocacy is maturing.

Operations people work in a timeframe of minutes to days
Developers work in a timeframe of weeks to months
Researchers work in a timeframe of years to decades
When you take a developer, who thinks in terms of months, and task that person to think in terms of minutes and hours, you are wasting a resource.
When you make someone respond to an overly wide range of timeframe-based events, the short term events always crowd out the longer term events.
Have you ever noticed that companies locate their research divisions away from the day-to-day operations divisions? It is to keep the timeframes separate.
If I want a reliable connection in my house, I hard-wire. It is the only way I can control the physical layer of the network. Once I go wireless, I cede control of the physical layer to forces unknown.
In a bit of a clever public relations dance, Cogent has issued a press release stating that while the company refuses to pay companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast new peering tolls, they will pay the costs incurred by those companies to ensure there's adequate capacity at interconnection points. Cogent has been at the heart of more than a few debates over settlement-free peering, usually when the levels of traffic exchanged aren't equal....
If the car commercials I have to suffer through on my TV were half as good as this "amateur" commercial, would I fast-forward my TiVo to skip the commercials?
.
My answer: no.
This is an enjoyable commercial.
Question: why cannot the "professional" commercial makers do this sort of thing? Why are current car commercials always screaming at me?
It can be stored on OneDrive and doing so allows you to access your information from almost anyhwere using almost any device.
That also allows Microsoft to access my data.
Since others have said the free version requires the use of storage on Microsoft's computers, I suspect Microsoft will be scanning the OneNote data for monetizing purposes. Why else would they prevent the free OneNote users from storing data on non-Microsoft servers?
... as Microsoft has made Windows a dead end with the Windows 8 fiasco.

If all she really needs is email and a browser, look for the simplest, cleanest UI you can find that provides that very basic functionality. Then configure the UI to looks like what she is used to - Windows XP.
Don't over complicate the transition with things you might think are cool, just keep it complicated enough to meet her needs, no more.

Is Microsoft Paying Few Companies to Move Parked Domains to Windows, Thereby Gaming Netcraft Numbers?

... I am not surprised that Comcast has won its second Poo award from The Consumerist.
Early last week I uninstalled Agnitum's Outpost software from my PC's. Not sure I want to rely on Russian software for security applications nowadays.
So far 13 posts, and most of them are unhelpful drivel. Way to prove Linux is superior.
This thread shows a lot of what is wrong in the Linux community.

A significant bug appears, and little is posted besides drivel.
Way to go Linux Community.
Just fix the damn bug.

Yes, the "saturation" aspect of commercial buys is also an issue.
A local radio station, 107.1 The Peak suffers from this very malady.
For some reason, they think it is good to play the same commercial once an hour, every hour, 24/7, for weeks at a time.
It numbs the mind.
Yes, you raise a valid point. Thanks.

My answer: no.
