All you have to do is compare "Windows Defender" (aka Microsoft Anti-Spyware) to Sunbelt Software's Counterspy and you'll see that Microsoft doesnt consider alot of things a risk that the end-user does. This is more than likely because Microsoft isn't about to put their customers out of business and please tell me you dont believe that the majority of spyware companies run everything on Linux. Both of the above products are built on the Giant Anti-Spyware engine. They are identical, however, Microsoft declares certain products as no-threat or low-threat that Counterspy shows them for what they are.
There will always be a need for anti-spyware software because most won't agree with what Microsoft declares as spyware.
All these features as well as ease of use already exsist at Blogger (a Google company). So should the article read "Typepad and LiveJournal, in the future, will embrace technology like Blogger.com"?
One would think after the 640k thing you'd realize things grow pretty quickly, however, this isnt the case with Microsoft. We have seen the 80GB limit in Win98 and recently we see the 2TB limit in Windows 2003 (i386) as well as all the limits in between. I figure Vista will have a max of something like 6TB. To answer your question, it wont take long since Windows will only be using less than 1/4 of the drive.
"He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six."
The first requirement is to have understanding. We cant say at this point that we have FULL understanding of what is in that chip. Every UPC code on products today contain three sixes. Looking at a bar code, there is a set of longer bars at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end which are not represented by the numbers marked. It is the same pattern on all UPC codes and, the binary representation of this number is "6"... No one really knows why the number 6 was chosen to represent the beginning and ends of number sets, but it was and does put us close the mark of the beast.
Is this RFID or the UPC codes the mark... I doubt it... but someone will have to look at all possible ways of having some type of a code in the RFID, which we dont yet know. Anyway you look at it, it's bringing us alot close to the mark.
My dad told me of a story of back in the 60's and 70's when he used to work for Howard Johnsons. When you were hired you were specifically told that you would not be paid overtime as the law states. Yes, this was illegal, and yes, they got fined.... but the reality of the situation was that it was cheaper for them to pay their fine every month than to pay overtime to all of their employees.
The only way to show them that you dont agree is to quit.... The same rule applies here.
What about the fact that the industry is filing lawsuits against their customers? If I remember right, the bully in elementary school didnt get much attention from the "low-lifes"... I wonder if the RIAA will ever realize they are killing their sales by bullying their customers?
Make it easy on yourself.... just list the companies Microsoft has not screwed over:
1. Apple..... erm... wait
2. SCO.... erm....
(looks around his room)
3. Frito-Lay!!!! They didnt screw the over... did they?
I actually had R.O.B..... He was called that because it stood for "Robotic Operated Buddy"... and IMHO, I think it was a very creative idea and I actually enjoyed playing with the robot but the issue was that if you were at the age that the robot was really cool, then you weren't old enough to be able to completely understand how the game was supposed to work.... if you were old enough to play the game, R.O.B. was stupid and, well.... we see the dillema.

Paper folding..... Microsoft is planning on folding up the world so they can take it with them.

I mean, when we use FCKGW to start entering the serial number, I'm sure it wont be the home edition we're using.

If Microsoft can make an OS that doesnt fail, why can't hardware guys make a hard drive that cant fail?

Actually, the MythBusters tested this and found that the toilet seat was the most sterile place in the house with regards to bacteria, etc.
