That's an understatement, Apple could do with the competition. Whilst Safari is the best mobile browser at the moment it is extremely crash happy. More so on the 2.1 update.
If you haven't noticed the BBC isn't ad sponsored, it's UK license fee paid. How are they meant to cover the costs of international streaming? Youtube does streaming of their video internationally paid for by advertising with a well built back-end that can handle it.
Comparing the BBC's iPlayer license fee paid service to the ad-sponsored Youtube is like comparing Apples and Oranges.
Think about it, you have to constantly deal with user mistakes or quite often the mistakes of others and correct them. By correcting someone's mistake you are showing them their faults, not generally a good idea if you want people to be nice to you.
Therefore you end up with user aggression towards the people who provide their computer support.
And when it's the fault of faulty hardware they blame you, you can't win.
I've always found that somewhat funny, a determined person will easily find a way to get data outside of a company. Hell, open up a web browser and email it to yourself via a plethora of webmail sites.
Since most office workers aren't the brightest bunch you could disable USB in the BIOS and password it, you could also disable USB in the device manager in windows and set the users as normal (non local administrator) accounts.
I honestly don't see why legislation hasn't been put in place that fines people for frivolous calls, I mean when you phone 999 you know it's for the emergency services. There is no excuse except perhaps you're senile, in which case a medical professional should provide proof of such and you don't have to pay the fine.. and perhaps get your phone taken away because you're senile and calling 999.
The current government has been legislation happy, this is something that actually needs it.

Try netatalk, that gives you excellent Appletalk support. The down side is I think the project is dead. During the height of its 2.0 development I built a 3.4TB file server (8x 750GB SATA drives, RAID-6 on a 3ware 9650 raid card).
It's still chugging away quite happily, the only problems i've encountered is that the OS9 Macs sometimes corrupt the.AppleDB etc. (essentially you delete.AppleDB and everything goes back to normal, it's not major and frankly almost no-one uses OS9 machines now.. we're phasing out the last two OS9 machines here)
Looking at the site it appears to be pretty easy for phorm here, all they'd need do is do a simple domain lookup. If it doesn't exist they filter it out.
If it doesn't exist then it's generated by this, since all it does is randomly create addresses. It'd be better if it just loaded random websites. Of course, that'd eat up a lot more of the users bandwidth though.
I think the complaint isn't so much that they're implementing a proper standards mode, more the fact that it has taken so long for them to do this.
People kept getting peeved off expecting Microsoft to start implementing some proper standard support (something which was expected of them in IE7) and then getting annoyed when they do a half hearted attempt at it.
The other way it could go is to use semiballistic transport. You would build something like a space shuttle. The engines would burn for a couple of minutes and accelerate you to 5 km/s. You would get about 30 minutes of free fall followed by aerobraking and landing at your destination. It is perfectly feasible, just horribly expensive.
And ever so slightly uncomfortable for the passengers, doing that just isn't feasible or realistic. What about infants, children, the elderly etc? Hell, my aunt pukes up on even the littlest bumps on amusement park rides and she's in her 40's.
I expect posts like this on digg where the average age appears to be ten, but your post is infantile. As mentioned here just above your own post are a small sample of the numerous companies that the EU has fined. The only difference is Microsoft disobeyed the EU after being fined. Hence this further fine.
Frankly, the EU doles out fines to any companies who disobey European laws. Microsoft broke the law they got fined, they ignored the findings/requirements of the remedy they got fined again. There isn't any evil European persecution of an American company going on here. Just a company being fined for breaking the law.
I find it something of a curious coincidence that as soon as Opera starts asking the EU to take legal action against MS and the little web developer revolt a while ago about the distinct lack of any information coming from the IE team regarding 8 that all of a sudden we have this "we'll be passing the acid2 test".
I can't help be slightly suspicious. I'll believe it when I see it.
He can download the trial of Crossover and use that to use the exe to decompress the VPC images.
I've got a Macbook Pro here, crossover works fine for things like that.
I'd say that $100 was wasted, VMWare has the capability to convert VirtualPC images. (dunno whether it might want to reactivate because of the changed virtual machine hardware though)
You know, that always tweaked me and I never really figured out what it was until recently.
The rebels had just blown up a space station the size of a moon in orbit of a planet, wouldn't there be asteroid sized chunks of the blown up moon sized space station soon impacting on that planet? If I were an Ewok i'd be kinda pissed at those rebels that my home was quite probably about to be squished by lots of impacts from large meteorites.
Of course, it was just a film anyway. So that really didn't happen. At least that's what the rebels want you to think.
To take a slightly more serious note on piracy/copyright infringement. As soon as I heard the Futurama dvd was coming out this November I asked for it to be bought as a christmas present, however a few days ago I discovered it was coming out in November in the USA. I'm in the UK here, and it actually comes out on dvd sometime in 2008.
It doesn't take many guesses for what I did and no, it wasn't flown over my magic carpet...
We'll see if in 2008 I still have the impetus to buy it when it comes out, considering the nature of the internet and how it's stupidly easy to get this kind of stuff nowadays I wish companies would wake up and start doing their releases simultaneous or near simultaneously worldwide. (especially when they're in the same damn language with the only difference of one being NTSC format and the other PAL)
I say Reagan, there's nothing that can't be solved by a zombie.. and Zombie Reagan would be able to solve anything. Granted, most of the solving would be done by the "eat brains" method. But zombie Reagan would easily finish the war.

So by that reasoning Windows 7 has gotten diabetes and has had a foot or two chopped off?

No, it certainly isn't. But it isn't up to Intel to decide that either.
