Ok I admit it is a bit sad making a living from playing games, but if you could do it im sure you would, i know i would! it must beat working in IT support...
This 90 day clause is the only part any one is interested in! I too thought 90 days was a bit much until I heard that EVERY 7 days the suspect is brought before a magistrate and the case for detention is reviewed
They are displaying bully-boy tactics towards a UK firm who have actually just recently successfully prevented Google from using gmail as an email address as it is Gmail's registered name.
I wonder if Google are recruiting? I believe Google is a popular destination for ex-m$ One of them can help deliver their google web hosted solutions and the other can help with their search facility.
Perhaps some planning needs to go into the building and location of these centres. Use the heat dissipation in a secondary system, place the actual building in a cooler climate or in a north facing direction etc, etc. These may be small things but when running huge systems it all adds up. The place i work has its servers and coms equipment located in a porta-cabin! Boy does it get hot.
ADverts are irrelevant. The adverts on Google are not invasive in any way, infact I hardly even notice they are there and when I do they somethimes give me what I am looking for
Google = good, M$ = bad, M$ search will never outrank Google, and even if it did I and probably many others would never use it even if it were better!
As long as a simple white box comes up with a topical picture over it when i hit the home button, Im happy
If you assume that this happens with all software, then you just have to assume total downloads is an arbitary figure and use it to compare with other downloads?
Its good to know I am not the only stupid one here!
It is difficult to break away from M$. I have known winslows all my computing life. About 5 years ago when I picked up my first distro I have tried my hardest to ditch winblows and move to Linux, but I cant, there is always one niggling little thing that turns me away. If it isn't the mouse wheel that I cant get to work its something else, and its frustrating.
Everyone is supposed to be nice in the open source community and on IRC etc, but when you present a problem the replies are far from helpful. What some people don't seem to realise is that someone with less knowledge may find it difficult (especially when they are normally able to do almost anything on a windows pc). And Yes I have RTFM.
Its only a matter of time before these things get ironed out (and I get more competent) and then I will be able to make my switch, but until them I am stuck with this
goto http://www.oldversion.com/ and get adobe reader 4 (i use 5) it is a lot lighter and it never asks for downloads or searches for newer versions etc etc
I would like to see one built into the microwave door so when your cooking something out of a packet you could have a screensaver display something real nice!
IE6 is around 60MB will IE7 be 70MB or 700MB? FF is around 5MB, even though FF is smaller it still outweighs IE in features. I certainly dont want to clutter my pc up with 55MB wasted programing!

It seems that this fine point has been ignored??
I agree, but most torture portrayed on TV is carried out on people who do have info to loose!

Perhaps one of them actually invented the first forms of bayesian filtering but the article forgot to mention it?
What about confidentiality, and security? would you trust MS to host your OS/office functions?
It would be great when my desktop pc is powered by a fuel cell which produces the water that acts as a cpu coolant
This may sound dumb but....

In this day and age you are more likely to be arrested for looking like a suicide bomber.
