outlaw this bullshit NOW damnit or we're going to drown ourselves in red tape and bull shit lawsuits as far as the eye can see. This WILL destroy the American economy
Welcome to Soviet America. We've got a few more years of this carp before it gets too much for everyone.
but they just said that people would become eligible for full retirement and would be leaving for that reason.
Is it really an exodus over the flood of silly patents - an obvious and inexerable problem - or is it just that people would rather be in Europe where they can have fun in the sun and not worry about having their business processes patented every time they think out loud? OK, that plus the hot babes...
It's Security thru Obfuscation. MSFT knows people might guess Linux or BSD or FreeBSD or Penguin, so they use a variation that is easy to remember but oh so obvious.
There is no such thing as fair use rights in Canada. The levy was designed to provide an exemption for copying of audio recordings (the ruling suggests this does not apply to Ipods).
I'm sorry, but the Berne convention says otherwise.
Treaties, especially multinational treaties involving copyright and such, tend to be far more powerful than one imagines.
And fair use has existed far longer than you've been on this earth.
Setup has been MUCH improved. Far easier to follow. Installation took about an hour and 10 minutes. (1.6GHz Pentium-M and 1GB of RAM)
How long for all the security patches and updates afterwards? That took me a day at DSL 640Mbps speeds alone when I got a new XP laptop. Plus the silly verification thing - mandatory on my PC.
Can anyone tell if IE 7 does any better than IE 6 at all? Then renderings look nearly identical to me. So much for improved standards support in IE 7, as if anyone thought that would actually happen
The main prob is that noone really cares about ACID, it's just another acronym that no browser supports.
I can see why they renamed it from Longhorn, but if this is supposed to open up Windows to new Vistas, it's going to be severely disappointing to a lot of people.
Let's see here: budget cuts, failing space program, failing economy, global criticism regarding human injustices abroad, rapid decrease of freedom and increase of governmental power...sounds alot like the SOVIET UNION doesn't it?
Now you're catching on.
Wonder if we'll have to wear fur hats soon? And watch long review parades of useless hardware?

Too late, I already did that when I trademarked All Of The Above (TM).

and hence, look at shareholder resolutions. Most people who own shares only have mutual funds that vote against their shareholders best interests.
We need transparency and accountability.
Mean old levy taught me to weep and moan, oh yeah
Mean old levy taught me to weep and moan, oh yeah
Thinkin bout my baby and our iPod at home
All last night, spat on the levy and moaned

Miths like this abound on Slashdot and are repeated time and time again, until they become truth.
Are you sure you don't mean MIPS?
Actually it's a Red Screen Of Death (RSOD)
... or Fire Engine Red Screen Of Death (FERSOD) ...
...
I know, but personally I prefer Burnt Ochre Screen Of Death (BOSOD)
why can't it just have different levels, going from say Green to Yellow to Red. It would be just as useful as that color scheme is
in fact, of the legal products and services generated in Canada, music is in the top ten, along with telecom and other useful things.
So if they don't need this tax, why do we, music importers in the US, need one?
together in most Biotech groups.
Sure, we like Open Source, but that's cause we can alter the code and improve the algorithms, but many places have both.
As long as we can get BSODs, windows basic funtionality is assured.
In Windows Vista it's a Transparent Ice Blue Screen Of Death, and it's tabbed.
You're still hosed, but it looks nicer.
instead of
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')
you have to use
javascript:void(window.g_sEnableAltOS='Linus')
24 hours?
...
My guess is they had a LAN party to play a MMUD during some of that time
so how does this stop a USB flash drive plugged into the port by a malicious coder from running as priveleged ... oh, wait, it doesn't.
it's part of the USB spec that it can't. there are no device drivers that enforce it.
depends, are you saying they're fully Acid2 compliant, including extensions?
you may have me on Safari - never heard of the other two, and I have Firefox and Opera on my home laptop and Firefox on my work PC.

seriously, IE6 with tabs and anti-phishing?
it's the 21st century, not 1999.

better name would be Windows Barely Adequate
didn't stalin use 5 year plans in soviet russia>? that or 7 year but i think it was 5 years
yup.
what you are saying, you would bid up the companies that subscribe to your beliefs or start one that does.
...
I already own tens of thousands of shares in such things.
Next
China, Japan, the EU, pretty much everyone who matters.
The Shuttles have been grounded for 2 1/2 years, what's another 2 1/2 while the next gen space race moves forward?
...
Not 2 1/2 years, they seem to love Five Year Plans in DC nowadays

I see it! I see it! See that red arrow? THAT'S what hit the shuttle!
This is why I always use blue arrows. Red arrows are dangerous.
