So, now Microsoft are releasing third-party programs themselves for fixing their own bugs? If they're trying to make us trust their OS, I can't see the point.
"But calling it an addiction is like saying people are addicted to food"
If you're physically dependant on the web to survive, I'd say you're addicted.
Addictions aren't always physical. According to the wikipedia entry, "Addiction is a compulsion to repeat a behavior regardless of its consequences", which is exactly what we internet users are doing.
Also, this technique greatly simplifies transplanting of cells. The most common problems, such as incompatibility or contaminated body parts, disappear.
Really, no-one can. No attempts to compete against Microsoft since Microsoft gained control of the market have succeeded. Only lately have open-source products even come close, but you can't say Microsoft isn't controlling the situation.
No-one can compete against Google, they've got billions at their disposal.

The main reason for PHP being insecure is the huge amount of functions for "securing" form data before using it in an SQL query. It's just comical that both mysql_escape_string() and mysql_real_escape_string() exist. PHP should be purged from all of the unused and misused functions soon, or it will never be safe.

Would our newspapers obfuscate the truth in order to sell more? No.. not ours!
Ever wondered why both drug addicts and internet geeks are called "users"?

That's like working in a marijuana test-lab.
I don't see how Skype's "large user base" is going to help them to counter Skype lagging behind MSN. Aren't MSN's and ICQ's userb ases way larger?
Personally I hate GAIM's user interface. I prefer Trillian, with it you can use as many protocols as with GAIM.
If you put nose cells all over the body, you're stupid and have only yourself to blame. It'd be cool to sneeze with your groin, though.
Every single comment to this article seems to contain a joke.

By putting nose cells all over the body, I'd sure get a damn lot of nerve.
Yeah, then it's 10 bucks wasted. You should've thought of that before buying them.
People believed they were the good guys. What a relief that BMP is open, with it we can avoid all the legal issues with GIF.
I think they're going to keep releasing really small parts as open source, just to get people believe they're the good guys again.
Sorry, looks like I forgot to actually read the preview before I submitted it.

According to the BBC article, "international medical standards warn against using eggs from researchers who may be vulnerable to pressure".
Yeah, putting PHP stuff Slashdot's PHP topic makes no sense.
