2) Patenting a method of converting DNA into music does not mean they have patented 'every note combination possible', just this one method of turning one type of data input into music. People who make music the normal way will still be able to and won't have to pay royalties.
Other than that, your post was 100% correct, in the sense that I assume your username is right.
In general, FUD actually requires Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, whereas saying "My product does x and x" doesn't really inspire fear in anybody, even if it's a lie.
Unless you're scared of features, in which case you have problems that even 'Microsoft-Watch' just can't cure.
No, it's because you have to have the drivers installed to charge. I've just tested my own Creative Zen (Vision:M, so YMMV) and it charges fine on my home computer with a different cable.
Um, Dell selling more Linux PCs is not the same as Dell saying Vista has failed. On the contrary, they've said nothing of the sort.
If you're under the delusion that they're selling more Linux PCs for any reason other than that they get money when they sell more PCs, then you're a misguided fool.
I don't mind the artist getting paid every time someone enjoys the song, but they're hardly going to benefit after they've bitten the big one, so I don't understand why they don't incorporate such a limit.
Why not make it 25 years or the death of the artist, whichever comes later? So if said artist is still alive after that length of time they still have rights to their work until they die, but if they die the record companies can't keep earning money in perpetuity for work someone else did, forcing them to continue innovating and finding new talent.
Blatant insults aside, you were both wrong anyway. NetCaptor beat both Opera and Mozilla by about 4 years. Mozilla was actually the fourth browser to implement tabs.
I would link to my comment on your journal, but I'm not that kind of guy, so I'm going to go all out here and write an original reply. You should try this instead of recycling the same garbage over and over again.
Microsoft had seven years to remake itself but failed and produced the Vista media lockdown nightmare instead. The media lockdown nightmare that only locks down HD-DVD and Blu-ray, in a move forced on them by the main distributors if they wanted to keep Media Player relevant? Ohnoes!
Poor quality has finally lead to poor sales. The vendor backlash is here. We're talking about sales worse than ME. Except that's just a lie, unless you want to quote some figures and prove me wrong.
The only real option for them is to retool a GNU/Linux distribution. There is no way they are going to fix Vista in time to save themselves from disaster. It might be too late even for that drastic solution. As the market floods with $200 GNU/Linux laptops, they will be entirely squeezed out. The laptop you quote is yet another OLPC-style project. Regardless of this, cheap laptop PCs with limited functionality will never squeeze out fully functional desktops.
Good Riddance, M$. They don't have three years left, but it will take years to undo the technical and legislative damage they did. Wrooooooooooooooooooooooooong. 'Despite Vista', they are still making more profit than ever. I bet that sticks in your craw so badly you can't even conceive it.
Do I expect a well-thought out response? Nah. You tend to keep mewaiting when you're asked to actually prove the things you say.
Is that any better or worse than Mozilla pretending they invented tabs, despite the fact that according to the developer, NetCaptor beat them by about 4 years?
Even if it boils down to whether Opera or Mozilla got there first, the 'Tabbed Browsing' article at Wikipedia suggests that Opera were first. In fact, Mozilla weren't even in the first three browsers to be tabbed.
I've found in my experience that the current version of Firefox (and it is the current version, 2.0.0.5) is comparable in terms of CPU usage but hefty on the RAM.
When you run a base install of both Firefox and Opera (you can't get a good reading with IE7 for many reasons), Firefox is actually lighter, until you start doing things. After that, Firefox just keeps using more and more memory until I have to close it.
Even better than that, if he'd linked to his own post like he normally does, we'd all have seen that I posted a link to the comment list where the employee in question admitted he was in the wrong:
Employers can terminate employees without cause.

Slashdot Mirror
What do you mean? Nobody complains about Linux, how dare you suggest otherwise? And OS X is flawless!
I can only conclude that you are employed by Microsoft and/or eat kittens for funsies.
I can only echo our friendly AC here when I ask you to define 'did not do well'.
1) DNA isn't even fairly random.

If you don't know about the very simple GUI for boot.ini then you really shouldn't be pretending you can help Windows users do anything.
No, it's because you have to have the drivers installed to charge. I've just tested my own Creative Zen (Vision:M, so YMMV) and it charges fine on my home computer with a different cable.
I was going to deconstruct your post as I normally do, but really it's all just one massive lie formed, like a gestalt, of many tiny untruths.
Again, Acer haven't said they're switching away from Vista (because they aren't). I don't know what the CEO's game is, and neither do you.

How can it show a "pattern of behaviour" when it's not true?
Sorry, if he died, under my terms you still wouldn't be able to make that mistake for another 25 years!

Sorry, wrong series...
So, let me summarise what you said:
"I'm not claiming anything, it's the article, so don't blame me. However, I claim casinos are horrible, disgusting, evil sinholes."
Do you ever preview before you submit?
If you're going to link to your own posts as evidence, can you at least choose one that isn't quite so thoroughly debunked?
There's at least 4000 of them.

This is why I don't use Firefox. Of course YMMV.
Both your links were adware, not spyware, and both are just patents and not existing programs.
You bore me.
Or with cause, which is what happened in my case.
This is the most rational and ontopic comment yet.
I am, of course, lying.

Okay, I looked around and found nothing to prove what you said.
Now you try!
