Microsoft Sues EU
·
· Score: 0

What about those billions of africans that are currently being "murdered" by famine.

And apparently that works.
So why should "violent content" producers be any different than "adult content" producers?
(not that I've ever used a credit card to verify my age)
After having been chronically depressed for the past years i found out that happiness is just a balance of the right drugs.
comments are still broken.. (karma be dammned, but my last comment apperently got deleted)
But netscape still doesnt cut it compared to Firefox.
even though they're basicly the same netscape still reminds me too much of IE.
They both have that nasty (l)userfriendly corporate aftertaste.
There will certainly be no "Ubuntu Vista".

Do you think Apple should start following Microsoft's model by rating vulnerabilities and patches?"

Telecom companies managed to stop MUNICIPAL wifi.

The RIAA has been sueing companies that SELL p2p apps.
What about projects like shareaza?
