"With 3.5.4.0 being the last version, it makes sense for everyone to disable the "check for new versions" feature, as obviously there won"t be any."
I wonder if the new owners of the domain & software will provide an "update" which stops the software from working...
Hey wouldnt it be really cool if the MSN search allowed you to integrate your hotmail, MSN local maps, driving directions, local news and weather and even perhaps a slashdot feed, right on the homepage?
Personally, I find all adverts intrusive - from billboards to ads in RSS feeds, albeit on a different scale.
I dont watch TV, and I dont listen to the radio. Part of the reason is because there'l very little worth watching and less worth listening to, but the main reason is because watching or listening to 5 minutes of a program then being bombarded with 5 or more minutes of adverts is extremely fucking annoying.
The same applies to adverts online, whether it be on a webpage or in an RSS feed. They're an absolute intrusion, an invasion of personal space and are patronising.
If I want to find information on the latest gizmos, health supplements, finance deals or whatever the fuck they're trying to sell me, I'll go looking for that specifically. I dont need it shoved in my face when Im reading my email or checking the latest tech stories online.
Remember the whole point of ads.. they're trying to make you part with your cash. Dont be fooled into thinking they're trying to help you.... "oh hey you are reading a page with the word music on it, here why not buy one of these fucking gizmos"
So, I wont ever feel guilty about using any and all means necessary to remove them from existance.
HP have a spare 15,000 or so...
Oh, and didnt IBM recently ditch about 13,000 too?
With 28,000 experienced professionals back on the market, the university's could take a year off!
Man you must have some pretty fucked up extension or something installed.
Granted, FF takes a while to load compared to IE (but it cheats) or perhaps even Opera (I've never used Opera) but once its up, I find it performs well. I generally have 3 or 4 FF windows open, with numerous tabs in each one and it normally sits around 40MB of memory use.
Now how about one that lets me apply my own stylesheet to slashdot or something, and get rid of fucking times new roman and that horrible shade of green forever?

They've a fair bit to go on this yet, there is no real map data outside of Belfast and it can't even give me directions from Belfast to Dublin at the minute.
Certainly doesnt compare to the AA's Route Planner but has a lot of potential. Would be nice to get some good hi-res sat images of Ireland too.

I've been thinking of patenting the idea of patenting crazy ideas...
Rich people could purchase their very own Mr Miyagi Fly Trap (TM)
I dropped a bunch of controls onto a WinForm, gave them some properties and VisualStudio wrote me a 4000 line method in microseconds...
Thats exactly his point

One small step away from evil.google.com
"Bollywood movies are churned out by the bucketful, but they are not exactly high-art, nor are they meant to be. "
Hollywood movies are also churned out by the bucketful, but they are not exactly high-art, nor are they meant to be.
Lets exclude them too, and re-title the article Time's Top 100 French Arty Films That No One's Ever Heard Of
By the time MS do that, google will probably have already launched moonmaps.google.com and marsmaps.google.com and oceanfloor.google.com and....
"or can i get 300ft overhead African serengetti shots ? maybe see Everest ? or 300ft overhead shot in Peru ?"
Only if there's already a ClipArt of them in Office....

Congratulations. PS: It works in Firefox too.
