Doesn't matter what spyware/crapware they put on it as long as you follow standard procedure. Wipe the bitch and install a crap free Os on it before the CPU is even warmed up.
Wait, do you mean a crap, free OS or a crap-free OS?
It is a code name - like Longhorn was for Vista. I think that whether Longhorn is more/less silly than Hardy Heron comes down to personal opinion.
If it worries you, call it ubuntu 8.04, its actual name.
Depends how the existing site was made. If it was designed against IE6/7, then yes, it will be at least a little broken, but then it already was.
If it was designed to standards (which the article calls 'IE8 content', roffle) then it seems like ie8 will "interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can."
It's that last little bit that prevents me from getting all excited just yet.
Luckily for them copy-edited text of the lost issue has been mailed to the lawyers to get legal clearance. The page layouts had to be totally redone from scratch.
We would thereby like to table the suggestion that we change the National Anthem to something more modern and appropriate and that will re-invigorate our pride.
What we specifically want to see, is that the National Anthem be changed in favour of "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.
Almost two thousand people have signed so far. This is, it should be pointed out, two hundred more than have signed the petition to make software patents clearly unenforcible.
Worst or not, ads are capable of taking money away from you
I don't know about the ads where you're from, but no ad has ever taken my money. If I'm going to trade my bookmarks for convenience I'll trust google before anyone else. About the only ads I still see online these days are google's. They're discreet and occassionally useful.
I don't know if I'm particularly strong-willed and thus invunerable to the ads' powers but I can think of only once that I've spent money as a result of a google ad, and that was for a hosting package that was ideal for my needs.
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have found that women have a remarkable ability to assess a man's testosterone levels and his interest in fathering children by looking at his facial features. Sixty-nine percent...
Like Windows 98, I expect a new release of Vista 2 - 3 years later that will work in WinFS and other modern OS technologies. This will be the OS to anticipate.
Jeez, so that's a four year wait for you... and I thought I was getting ahead of myself being excited about the edgy ubuntu, due October.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Please pardon my language-nazism, but I've been surrounded by pony-tailed marketing types all day and their constant misuse of the word factoid has made me all grumpy.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to replace the national anthem with 'Gold' by Spandau Ballet.

Democracy in action!
I got bored watching the credits, can anyone tell me who won?
Is this one of those Deja vu experiments?
A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something...

That's very interesting [record low viewership figures for US TV].
Most of the rest of the world would have had record high viewership over the last month, I would imagine.
Just an observation.
Samy is still my friend.
He's not fat, just "big-boned".

Sorry, what were you saying?
Mr. Bounder: Yes. Ooh, it's going to get people making jokes about your name all the time, eh?
Ms Lawless: No, actually, it never struck me before.
Hmmmm, cool trick. The Yahoo link displays the cache of a standard-looking page, while the original link 404's.
Reference, please.
You were lucky.
We had a similar scheme at my university about ten years ago. It had all the problems you describe.
It took a closer to five years for them to phase it out
Jeez, so that's a four year wait for you... and I thought I was getting ahead of myself being excited about the edgy ubuntu, due October.
And what, Longhorn is a more professional and, to Western ears, a less pornographic name?
I do not think that word means what you think it means.

D00d, easy on those funny looking cigarettes.
