They aren't 'donating' per se -- yes, they're giving it away at no cost, but it's VERY good publicity for them.
Just think how good it sounds to have two tech companies donating tech to relief efforts. NOw, if only FEMA would get with the times and realize that not everyone uses windows/IE...
What kind of idiot thinks that IE is the best thing out there?
Is there some feature on the site that REQUIRES IE (such as ActiveX)? If there's not, what the hell were they thinking? This is blatant discrimination against those who use alternatives to Windows/IE.
There's always going to be the people NOT playing WoW, and those people are always going to number in the tens of millions. So, no, it's not really going to hurt the industry, unless they become like Hollywood and put out crap.
Please, don't give them any ideas; there are probably (computer-illiterate) legislators who only hear about pr0n and sex and this and that bad thing, and think the internet is the tool of the devil himself!
This sounds more like an advertisement than anything actually useful... generally, if it includes the words 'powerful' 'fun-to-use' and 'easy' it's an advertisement. Might also be in an ad for a hooker >.>
I meant more the people who they are showing on cnn and such as 'so despairing' and it's like, ok, you had warning. In that amount of time, you should be able to get SOMEWHERE.
Chances are, they rushed it out the door and it's going to be absolutely terrible. In other news, Microsoft released something ahead of schedule! Unlike 'Vista' (I'll always call it longhorn)
It's that way in high school, too. Rather than focusing on teaching us how to 'click here' or 'type this in' or whatever, the should focus on giving us the proper skills to find the answers to questions we don't know the answers to.
Indeed. I have a girl like that. She just recently became interested in computers, but damn, she's hot when she's working... not sure if it's the hard drives, the cables, or what. But damn, you're right.

get a fucking CLUE
This is a site about TECHNOLOGY, not what's happening in the world around us.
Hey -- nothing wrong with self-interest. Besides, that was over a week ago now -- FAR from 'just happening'.
Sadly, running Linux on machines that already have windows on them will save NO money -- until it's time to upgrade.
I don't think you can put one of these in a mac.
Looking through here, it seems like these aren't CA's lame ducks either...
The actual list of patents can be found at CA's website

Yeah; almost everthing tied to computers nowadays is tied to making money -- even the viruses now.
So, now, in addition to bill gates' pockets getting full because of the insecurities, he's letting criminals get rich, too.

The price of gas really DOES affect everything; I'm SO glad I don't have to fill the tank.
The government, as always, will not tell us squat. Plain and simple
Oh, yes, my company puts that in their documents all the time! We allow full access to our VoIP traffic through macro viruses!
Unfortunately, the poster got the DEATH star confused with the DEAD star -- the DEATH star collects the souls of other stars.

Simple. The end-user doesn't have to go get the stuff themselves; it's for lazy people./
Hey, now, unless we take precautions, we can get viruses from just sitting here...

Won't somebody make a contribution to the stupidity relief fund?

How did this get modded INFORMATIVE?!
It's really about time that somebody said 'we really shouldn't blame the people. I mean, there are much better ways of getting them their content.'
Big flashing lights. Especially if the people have ADD... then it'll be 'ooh! pretty light!!'
