Congratulations.... Windows just got a half baked copy of yet something else that has been on MacOS for a long time. Now make it work in browser bars, open websites, do math, work in any dialog box in the system etc.. and you can call it equal to what MacOS has had for years.
Ya know....it might actually make USENET even more useful if it becomes pay-to-use.
It if cuts down on the spammers by forcing them to pay to use it, and make it easy to cut them off if they violate their providers subscription, then there is a theoretical improvement to USENET quality.

"Palin eventually reversed her decision and let the librarian keep her job.
It doesnâ(TM)t appear, however, that any books were actually banned, says Pinnell-Stephens, who documents book challenges in the state but couldnâ(TM)t find any evidence in her files and doesnâ(TM)t remember any conversations with Baker about the subject. "
Man. DO you really believe these lies? How gullible are you to this far left trash propoganda?
This was on DIGG last week to show you how true(haha) it must be.
So according to this myth Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension.
Look at the list that was circulated to support this myth and youâ(TM)ll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban...that hadnâ(TM)t even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasnâ(TM)t published until 1998.
The left wing smear merchants who continue to circulate the list also failed to do a simple Google search, which would have showed them that the bogus Sarah Palin Banned Book List is almost an exact copy-and-paste reproduction of a generic list of âoeBooks Banned at One Time or Another in the United Statesâ that has been floating around the Internet for years.
What is worse is that the official Obama campaign website is also perpetuating the fraud. And itâ(TM)s spread to craigslist, where some unhinged user is posting images likening Palin to Hitler. And now here it is again on Slashdot.
The person who first spread the Palin smear is identified as âoeAndrew Aucoin,â a commenter on the blog of librarian Jessamyn West. West has done the right thing in keeping the bogus comment up and pointing out in her main post that âoethere appears to be no truth to the claim made by the commenter, and no further documentation or support for this has turned up.â
It is a fake. Not true. Total B.S. A lie.
But that won't stop the people on the left who in the tradition of Al Gore believe a good lie is ok as long as it serves the cause.
If it gets sent to you by a moonbat friend or family member, set âem all straight. Fight the smears. Theyâ(TM)ve only just begun.
I blame the mainstream media. They let the far left get away with making lies up because they are so lazy they will mention them on national TV as 'I read this on some site'. First it started with half-truth's now we are up to totally making shit up out of thin air.
Good luck with your country America, your press has become worthy of Joseph Goebbels, its only fitting that it is made that way by all the people that accuse Bush of being Hitler.
According to friends in Europe, who watched the ceremonies live NBC totally used FAKE CROWD noise.
Apparently Vladimir Putin from Russia got the biggest crowd applause all night when they showed him on the big screen, and the Iraq athletes were given loud BOO's.
And all we heard all night long were the exact same levels of 'monotone cheering' on the NBC broadcast.
Don't believe ANYTHING you see on TV, especially if they had 12 hours to make changes,edits,lies.
I noticed the IOC threw an absolute fit over the use of Army Rangers for some portions of the opening ceremonies in Atlanta in 1996. (They pleaded for the Rangers to not perform their contribution in uniform. They didn't.)
But I don't think the guys who raised the Olympic flag while GOOSE-STEPPING in China were members of the local Beijing Boy Scout troop.
For god sake, screw the pie in the sky stuff... just build some high speed rails between all the major cities like Chicago, Atlanta, KC, St Louis, Cleveland, etc..
Use the Interstate medians for all I care, just do it.
Flying sucks so much now, people will use it.
And when the oil runs out we can run the trains on cheap nuclear electricity and they will provide fast transportation that will be 1000x cheaper than flying using fossil fuels.
HAHA...This story is all hype and ZERO substance...Microsoft does not have a clue and its executives are out spouting off shit to the press when they have NO idea what they are talking about...What a way to run a company.
Eweek: Author of Linux Patent Study Says Ballmer Got It Wrong
Linux violates more than 200 software patents, Microsoft followed up by saying Ballmer was only citing findings from a controversial study done this summer by OSRM (Open Source Risk Management), a risk-mitigation consultancy.
The study claimed that Linux has been found to potentially violate 283 software patents. The author of that report, however, doesn't see things the way Ballmer `does at all.
"Microsoft is up to its usual FUD [fear, uncertainty and doubt]," said Dan Ravicher, author of the study Microsoft cites, who is an attorney and executive director of PUBPAT (the Public Patent Foundation).
Speaking Thursday at the Microsoft-sponsored Asian Government Leaders summit in Singapore, Ballmer said, "There was a report out this summer by an open-source group that highlighted that Linux violates over 228 patents. Someday, for all countries that are entering WTO [the World Trade Organization], somebody will come and look for money to pay for the patent rights for that intellectual property. So, the licensing costs are less clear than people think today."
In fact, the study said Linux potentially violates 283 software patents, not "over 228" as Ballmer said in his speech.
But Ravicher said Ballmer misinterpreted his study's findings. "He misconstrues the point of the OSRM study, which found that Linux potentially, not definitely, infringes 283 untested patents, while not infringing a single court-validated patent."
"The point of the study was actually to eliminate the FUD about Linux's alleged legal problems by attaching a quantifiable measure versus the speculation," he said. "And the number we found, to anyone familiar with this issue, is so average as to be boring; almost any piece of software potentially infringes at least that many patents."
The study shows that when it comes to software, open-source varieties face fewer patent threats than proprietary ones, Ravicher said. "If one believes the proof is in the pudding, open-source software has much less to worry about from patents than proprietary software."
"Consider this--not a single open-source software program has ever been sued for patent infringement, much less been found to infringe. On the contrary, proprietary software, like Windows, is sued and found guilty of patent infringement quite frequently."
NOTICE: The report DOES NOT say X-number of MICROSOFT PATENTS... it says X-number of patents. I bet a huge portion of those that the guys in this study looked at ALSO APPLY to Microsoft Windows if the real owners of those patents wanted to use them against Microsoft.
Scientists have LONG SUSPECTED that Birds and Dinosaurs were the closest relatives....if you just look at the skeletal structures modern birds are the closest living thing to the fossil records we have and birds are the only place that scientists find several unique characteristics of the dinosaur bone structures.
This just provides a little DNA evidence to back up the fairly obvious visual/structural similarities between birds and dinos.
As a parent, frankly I don't care what is shown during prime-time hours...hell I would like some boobies on Scrubs or something myself once in a while....
BUT, the fact that they show CLIPS OF PRIMETIME stuff in their commercials during the DAY is driving me freaking nuts...I can't even sit down to watch a basketball game with my young son without the network putting clips full of sex, violence, guns etc in their commericals during the program.
ITS A JOKE.... The fact that a program can be rated as TV-G but hey can cut to a commercial rated TV-MA because they are totally unregulated is the single biggest thing that makes the rating system a waste. My TIVO still displays TV-G and on the screen is people shooting each other and naked people rolling around on a couch.
They need to make the COMMERCIALS have to also comply with the rating for that time period. If you can make THAT HAPPEN, then I say we can have a free-for-all after 9pm as far as I care.
In other news.... "Web developers worldwide were disaapointed that the new IE 12 apparnetly STILL does not support transparency for the HDPhoto graphics file format."
Well, there is the potential for Apple to take over the home market.
According to Intel and IDC, the HOME pc market is only 10% of the total PC market... if apple has 3-4% marketshare and we know they dont sell much to the business market.... they might have at least a 1/3 or more right now of the home market.
If they get to the 5% range, then they could start to approach even being the #1 home computer.
Actually, you CAN use ZFS for everything except boot...so all you need is a tiny little grub boot partition and your golden. This is a tried and true method of booting NIXen with other filesystem formats.
The problem is its "HD".... I am NOT GOING TO BUY a damn thing until its NO LONGER HD, but is the new standard-definition.
As long as they can keep using the two magic letters "HD", they will keep charging stupid idiots more just for those 2 letters.
When the ONLY TV's available are all HD, then I will replace my old 27"incher.

At the RedHat summit in Nash last month, the RHEL Roadmap shows a copy of FC6 being split-off later this year and becoming RHEL5 by the end of the year.
(note RHEL4 is a direct decended of FC3, RHEL3 is of FC1 etc).
Not quite... 500 Ghz (500 x 10^9) is a LONG WAY away from even the beginning of Infrared 3 TerraHz (3x10^12), and visible light does not start until about 430 TerraHz (4.3x10^14).
