Too bad the article guys don't know how to use the onLoad event in order to preload the images which appear when you place the mouse cursor over the image area... *HINT* *HINT* *HINT*
I didn't understand your point. Do you have any valid comparison between messenger's architecture and server set and some other big messenger service which uses that ibm server?
You're thinking about akamai (content distribution network), but that's not relevant on this particular discussion since we're just talking about the MSN Messenger service, not the whole msn/microsoft site(s).
Check out this google query, that's all I know. I'd bet they are high quality x86-64 PC's...
An example of the advantages of the new windows...

According to microsoft, the MSN messenger service (which serves to around 70 million people) used to run on 250 32-bit servers, and now it runs on just 25 or something like that... (apparently one of the big reasons was the limit on the number of tcp connections).
It's quite amazing to think that a service as huge as messenger can run on just 25 servers!
Forget the link, it seems mirrordot managed to fuck the file up (or/. just fried the server before it could get all of it). Just go to the project webpage and get it there:)
The parent post is coming from a guy who has Judas Priest implied in his nickname, therefore being an appreciator of people who know the difference between strumming and a hammer on:)
The entire point of having dynamically linked libraries is to have one central source to update your libraries at, and to share that functionality with other programs. If you are going to include the dynamic library with the program, it's easier to just make a statically linked executable...
But you can't statically link LGPL licensed libraries...
A very righteous post from you. However, you seem to be assuming that that guy wasn't just some troll kid... Which isn't necessarily true, this being slashdot and all, you know?:)

They probably did it for compactness, since IE is already included in windows...

The numbers mentioned are for the MSN MESSENGER service only!

Mod parent funny then mod me down :P
And it is more evil... Not doing an offer is just inaction, what they did is really a bad action, which is (normally) quite worse, in my opinion.
You gotta remember (or ask about) the rest of the song and post it here ;)
Only on slashdot would a stupid post which seems like it's built on top of some fucking "bad post template" be modded to +5 Interesting...

I think you mean free60.org - not .com...

Yep, that's what people usually say about this, but it doesn't make much sense since Gmail has had ads since forever and it's still Beta!

That depends on the game, and for some people, it even doesn't (they'd always be annoyed by that).
If you had read the article, you wouldn't have posted that...
Well, I guess you're using the expression "grown man" in the broad sense...
Either that or the submitter doesn't know how to read...
Three cheers to the guy who modded this as informative!
Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't the only one annoyed by that... Although I was not quite sure if I was going to post it :)

No, factoring has not been proven to be NP-complete, in case that's what you are implying with your last sentence...
