This is a great way to script installation of windows machines. You can put any applications you want into the system and use it to push machine upgrades.
if it was a browser - and provided by a certain company - it would popup a window in front of your windshield informing you "Software upgrade available now! Click OK to continue driving!" and obscure your vision and lock steering until you clicked on it.
1. Shareholders like me - who own RHAT shares - would have to actually sell them to MSFT. So it would be a matter of large holders of shares selling out. Since I already own MSFT shares too, I'm not going to sell my RHAT shares to them.
2. This would open them up to severe penalties from the EU, that would make their former problems look like child's play.
3. They would have to become snappy dressers and wear Fedoras - red ones - and we all know that will never happen.
MSFT's integration of their web browser into everything has backfired. You can no longer just *issue* a fix because you'd affect thousands of production level computers.
So, does this mean that the fix for this flaw is to totally replace Win every time there is an IE flaw?
...or "Coke" if you're from a red state. Because carbonated beverages contain as much as 14 teaspoons of sugar per every eight ounces, they get VERY sticky when they dry. This usually gums up a KB for good.
My son lost two iMac keyboards that way. I made him pay for the replacements out of his own pocket. Now he won't let anyone near his keyboard with a drink - or any variant of pop.
The bonus is now he tends to drink less pop, even if I do buy generics, and prefers water or iced tea.
Nah, I was originally going to use Opera and have it pretend to be IE like on my Win box, but since it's my son's and he likes to play lots of Flash I know that Firefox will be supported.
It's not for me, even if I do set the parental controls and then he hacks them. You should see what he did to Wikipedia...
This might have worked back in the 80s, before the Net encompassed all the info that it does, but by this point it's just a big waste of money just so we can live in Fear.
Sigh.
Every day in every way the choices made are oh so clueless...
But then, I never was good at Calculus, and it looks like Cringely isn't either.
xBox360 - boring, waiting for PS3 or GameCube2.
Google cache - no real effect if you live on Gigabit Internet like all the colleges and universities do. IN fact, it's SLOWER.
We'll look back on today and ask "Wow, who would have ever thought the EU nominee for the WTO would have done that!", not "Google and Gates and Gumdrops, oh my!".

instead of living off of others?
I do. Those were good days, back before the Emperor.
not to mention the CEO's SSN and criminal records ...

Is that why they need free software?
Just ask Kirk to write a check from his royalties for that travel firm - I'm sure he can afford it.
Pascal was my fourth programming language ... not counting all the machine code and assembler languages.

At least Fortran is available

After all, the color PURPLE is a trademark of 3M.

Oh, my, so I guess Julius Caesar's prior art wasn't considered, or that of thousands of years of usage
OK, it's official, the USPTO is insane.
it's the only way to go.
in fact, you can't buy any in Fremont (in Seattle) if it isn't, and then you can open your office doors knowing you have good java.
Careful, that's a registered trademark of MSFT ...

Ooh, i can smell the upgrade fees
Which is what 90 percent of the American public cares about the space shuttle anyways ...
So long as that is done, all else will be forgiven.
Sigh: remember when NASA actually had realistic priorities?
Maybe that will attract the roving bands of Tuskan Raiders and they'll move it.
until they fix the bug. ...
... isn't that a reasonable response?

What, it's what MSFT was saying about Firefox
Good thing I use Opera and Firefox

"These are Voyages" was so boring I gave up part way and did the dishes.
But the season finale for ST was fantastic!
Sigh. Back to Battlstar Galactica, Lost and Grey's Anatomy for me.
No way, man! Use Apple's own browser, Safari!

An easier method involves your tray table. And it's fairly simple.
The reality is that 98 percent of the measures used are totally ineffective if you know what you're doing. Which they do.
Geesh, they're about 20 years behind the times.

Well, MSFT's CEO did announce he's retiring in 2012 today.
Guess that's when it will go under.
I vote for Week of Fluff.

Well, that's also why there's a 3 day grace period from the order to the close.
It's not just there to allow for slow paper to move, but there to allow rollbacks.
