--It's amazing how many day-to-day operations require the inadvertent use of Windows in our daily lives."
I know for a fact. I cannot live without that dose of BSOD.
Recently a Senator (Rick Santorum, R-PA )introduced a bill prohibiting federal meteorologists from competing with companies such as AccuWeather and The Weather Channel.
Now we can get this information for free. When this kind of bill gets passed we need to pay to get weather information.
Recently we had an article on/. about circumventing xbox security. This looks the same to me on apple. I think they need to fix the problem rather than suing don't you all think?

Looking at the list, I was thinking, education is first step. Not many managers know about linux (even if they knew, they may be sacred of using some unknown OS). These kind of seminars should help them. Instead of charging money for these, why not linux vendors(like RedHat, Novell and others) offer these things for free.
If it is a job description of librarian to monitor what is being accessed using library computers and he did not do his job then firing him makes sense.
My take on this is, if it a policy why not block these websites rather than having somebody monitor. We all know this cannot be a librarian fault. I think somebody wanted a scapegoat and they got one in the name of librarian.
This is good. This should have been done by MS a long time ago and this should be an ongoing process. Everyone knows no OS is bullet proof on security terms. Better late than never.
Lots of comments here are MS is shooting themselves in the foot and other things like that.
This kind of requirement will often be made by existing peripherals manufacturers as this will help them be the only/or a small set of competition for that console.
To be that privileged manufacturers they are ready to shell out some money to MS. The only time it gets backfired is when MS becomes greedy and signs up so many that each of these peripherals will have a lot of competition

Server based slut machines.. My fault

Easy. Just put one bug in every 170.666666666666667 bytes and you will be done.

This will be a poster news for Microsoft, they go about everywhere touting this news and telling people open source/Free software are useless.
I run my web server from my pocket.
okay you guys released the first version 3 months before google. Why isn't the portal not ready for prime time yet?
Why would anybody wants to use this when there are so many open source alternatives
