Hello RTF documents. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but nobody likes, uses, or cares about you anymore. I suggest throwing your collective selves into the document shredder as soon as possible as an alternative to the bitrot you will surely succumb to in the coming decades. Do us all a favor and just end it quickly
Your pal,

PS: why the hell are you still saving documents in RTF format? If you aren't, remind me again why you need the *latest RTF standard* for old documents that were saved in something everyone is compatible with?
...that works to our advantage. We have a LOT of open space, which makes it damn easy to run fiber. When the line needs to go through someone's house, it tends to cost more money...
actually... they would. I purchased a 120GB WD drive at one point *on sale*. My credit card was overcharged, but I never noticed because it was yet another purchase in a group when building an entire new system. Dell sent me a check for 100$ a month later, and I had no clue what it was for till I went back through my records... It turns out they have accounting practices, and whether over or under where they should be, they fix it, just like any other business.
A website makes a pricing mistake, all the trolls hop on, then they cry when the deal they KNEW couldn't be true, wasn't true. Well heck, let's just SUE THEM! Thank you for reminding me just how pathetic this society has become.
To further this, at my old job we had a central dump folder that all old cases were saved in. *this is where the linux zealots typically tell me how stupid it is to do that etc. etc.*. Anyways, the folder typically held 60,000+ emails. Needless to say, my one foray into linux@work was quickly ended when evolution wouldn't load period. It would just hang indefinitely trying to get all the info from that folder. Glad to hear something is finally being done about it.
Funny I hear all these comments about how the author is an MS whore the way they're spinning it etc. etc. How about this:
XP was the first truly stable home release of their OS, and people finally don't HAVE to upgrade. 95, 98, ME? People were upgrading in hopes of finally hitting something stable. I view this more as a testament to how great XP really has been than Vista being a failure. In the next year or so as more games take advantage of DX10, and some of the other new additions to vista, adoption will obviously pick up.
February 8, 2006: The U.S. Air Force has bought another five MQ-9 Predator B UAVs, for $8.3 million each.
At $8.3 million a piece for the current ones, I would bet the new ones are pushing $20 million. Vs. the loss of one *insurgent* life? I hate to break it to you, but the US will go bankrupt long before the predators kill off all the *insurgents*.
Note, I use the word insurgent loosely, that is a US government made term. I do recall we used to call our *insurgents* patriots when the brits were trying to *liberate* our country not so long ago.
You know... a threat like that sounds startlingly like something one might hear from a monopoly. To me they're just screaming "break us up, break us up NOW!!!" I'm pretty sure if there were NOT a monopoly, a threat like this could not be made...
ahh, didn't see the ARM, I thought it was powerPC based. There are rumblings of an ARM port in the future, but you are correct in that it has not been done yet.

so it's dd with a GUI and you're paying for it...?

ya... they sure seem to be struggling with that whole open source thing and making money...
Nobody actually uses RTF or cares about it...

Uhh, no. Try Urban Minnesota and the average speed is 4mbit down 384Kbit up...
Ummm, it's "officially" supported on ultimate or enterprise. Lord knows there's no way around it. Go back to digg.
Right, because you can't change the default language of any MS operating systems... OH WAIT

So uhh... what's preventing the Chinese online vendors from selling this back to the US?

Really? Google doesn't have the ENORMOUS resources of AT&T/Cingular? Because last I checked goog's income and market cap dwarfs ATT by a LONG shot.

Look at the big bad anonymous coward. Perhaps you should take your own advice.
I'm pretty sure *tripping on acid* has created a lack of fear in drug addicts for years now.
and now you understand the big picture like google does :)

Opensolaris? No... seriously, does it?
That's gotta be a kick in the balls; knowing the devil was cleaning out his junk drawer and thought:
"Well this isn't worth anything, might as well see what I can get for it on ebay."
rigamarole? It's called head to ebay and buy one that's already unlocked.
please name me one remotely desirable phone that AT&T has ever had that was not unlocked? It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
