Those transactions, which were made 15 percent above or below the previous day's closing price, will be "broken" -- the buyer will get his or her money back, and the stock will revert to the seller.

There is a critical flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser (the thing you visit web sites, or browse, with). There is no patch for it yet, and major commercial web sites are being cracked by bad guys to put code on them that takes advantage of this flaw, without the visitor's knowledge.
Until there is a patch for this problem, WTC team members MUST do one of the following:
Disable Internet Explorer's JavaScript (or "Active Scripting," as they call it). (Instructions below.) Or...
Use either Mozilla or FireFox, if you have it installed (See below) or...
DO NOT USE your web browser
WARNING: Our firewalls CANNOT protect the desktop PCs from this threat. Team Members *MUST* take one of the above listed actions
The memo goes on to explain how to disable the active scripting, and also explains downloading FireFox.
It's good news that IBM followed suit, of course. But, I can only wonder what took them so long.:)
On top of this, the more people that make use of Alternatives gives an incentive for the Competition to attempt to improve their product.
In this case, Firefox is gaining ground on Internet Explorer because of the various features it has over the stale browser. If Firefox hadn't of come out so strongly, Microsoft probably have not had any real reason or desire to launch a better browser, and thus there wouldn't be as much "hype" about IE7.
I'm not holding my breath, or anything, of course.

One thing to keep in mind is that many, if not all, Open Source projects are started by individuals within the community. From the start, the focus is not on making a profit, but instead creating a tool that someone else may find useful. With a bit of luck, the tool can become popular and well used. Even in this case, earning a financially sufficient income is extremely rare (not that it isn't impossible).
The 'real' money lies in the various sorts of companies and governments that come to support the OSS movement. Instead of spending money on software, they can hire more software developers who can then in turn, contribute back to the community. Supporters of OSS such as IBM, Plextor, NVidia (although they can't release some code due to IP restrictions), and Sun, all have major branches into hardware. Hardware is the real cash-cow, software just makes it go 'moo'.
I've found the original BitTorrent client to be the most enjoyable of the many hundreds that seem to exist.
Specifically, the ability to ssh into my remote machine and load up a torrent on a separate screen is absolutely fantastic.

We do?
So, Vim is space-capable now?

Can we start with #1?
Absolutely nothing? That's far from the truth.

Prior to the mid-19th century, inventing was known as "helping human-kind" instead of the a path to fame and fortune.

Microsoft as a company can't stand it if someone else has a feature they don't have.
Tell that to the W3C...

Obviously this test was not sponsored by Microsoft.

In other news, IBM announces it's adoption of the color Purple...
Well now that depends on your preferences...
All I see available is a Fedora RPM...
However, XP's growth is at the expense of Windows 2000, Windows 98, etc., but not Linux or Mac.
Overall, the percentage owned by Windows is (slowy) being widdled away by Linux and Mac.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
Look out Redmond!
