This is stupid. Why would you not go after Apple? Why is there no organizations demanding the separation of their hardware and software? It's just an anti-Windows front.
This is very creepy. I wonder if you could use something like Project Natal to do it as well. We've gotta be a bit wary about internet-hooked up cameras in our homes.
Someone can go cry about brain scans all day, all it does is provide mental justification for sitting on their fat ass eating cheetos and playing world of warcraft. I've got zero pity and I'm going to laugh at them for what they are, fatasses eating cheetos playing world of warcraft.
As far as I can tell this guy isn't a kid. He's a 40 year old pretending to be mentally ill using the same defense that furries use to justify why they spend their days sexually suggestive anthropomorphic foxes with five nipples and then complain they can't get women.
Whoever modded him troll probably has aspbergers and looks like a troll themselves. First post is right for once; aspbergers is a made-up excuse for man children behaving like social retards
Right, I don't think the developers would log traffic or identifiable information. These are people who started a whole political party based around anonymity. Take the tin hat off. (And as the other poster said, you are confusing developers with the new owners of the domain.)
We have no _CURRENT_ plans to deploy Windows 7. You're completely missing the point here. They may not be planning it RIGHT NOW but they're going to see how things turn out. That's not "skip completely."
The issue here is less whether competition or good or bad (competition is good) but whether a downward spiral of free crap (see Office being given away online) will reduce in loss-leaders that kill both business models leaving everyone bust.
From TFA: "Web apps tuned to Internet Explorer 6, which Microsoft has essentially orphaned. Windows 7 will ship with IE8, which has a compatibility mode for IE7, but not for IE6. And if IT retains IE7 in Windows 7, Silver notes that IE7 lacks an IE6 compatibility mode. So IT must rework its IE6-dependent Web apps or use XP mode to run IE6. Both are hassles."
When Apple releases a new OS and says it's not compatible with the old, there's a huge line to suck Steve Jobs' dick. "Support of legacy software has made Windows a bloated piece of shit. Apple's so smart."
When Microsoft makes a similar change people whine about all the hassles they'll have to go through.
Just because Microsoft's a big company doesn't mean you get to spit on it. Companies are made of people, people make products. The size, scale, and inclination toward profit are not bad things. You sound ridiculous.
As is the EU's lawsuits to begin with. Its their OS, they should get to bundle their software with it. As long as I can chose to install Firefox, which I do, I couldn't give less of a shit whether IE is on there. Don't want it there, don't install Windows. People have choices.
Rich kids need money less, that's pretty obvious. These kids need help getting out of their poverty situations. Just giving them money doesn't help; giving them money AND education to help them get a step ahead in life, that's genius.
Good education = higher pay is a pretty important lifelong lesson.
I'd say this is a great thing reinforces everything that our society about.
Some people may like learning for learning's sake but they become academics and sit around arguing with themselves. The "intrinsic" motivations are largely bs.
Pre: "Knock knock"
Windows: "Whoâ(TM)s there?"
Pre: "iPod."
Windows: "Cool, come in. Hey iTunes, Iâ(TM)ve got an iPod for you."
iTunes: "You donâ(TM)t look like an iPod but if Windows says you are, thatâ(TM)s good enough for me. Smoke some of this music."
Pre: "Kickass."

Congratulations on trying to justify your life to a stranger on the internet who doesn't care. You win nothing!

If she'd said something about Bush no one would have said a word. It's very hypocritical.
This is very interesting. Have they responded to that? If so, it goes against the entire purpose of the program.

I don't understand your point. It doesn't need to store personal details, it only needs to confirm that your login and id are valid.
After that, as long as it doesn't record the IP addresses you're visiting, it's effectively anonymous and thus valid.
Yes, Pirate Bay could secretly store that information, but I somehow doubt they would.

Hence nuclear software wasteland.

Hmm Wolfram doesn't understand either.
Every day I ask myself: was I just born gay for linux? Or did I choose to be that way?
Remember, Gates hates Fags.

Or I worked for a startup that had advertising clients.

You'd think so but half the people in this thread are whining that some mystical, imagined "love of learning" is being lost.
Someone mod this man up.

Their trick, in other words...

Windows: "Whoâ(TM)s there?"
Pre: "iPod."

You have to start somewhere.
That ex happens to be 7 of 9 btw.
Worked really well for Media Defender.
