I will be surprised if this happens. I cannot see the US Government relinquishing control of a potential tool against terrorism, in other words, a way to gather info of people.
And it is only logging flaws in the OS itself, whereas Linux logs bugs in every single piece of software installed on the distro. I'd like to see how they compiled their "Data".
Also, with the hype surrounding "Windows 7", I wonder - if Vista is so good, why is MS pushing so hard to get Wetnose 7 out in mid 2k9.
Also, I note that if Wetnose 7 seven ships on time (for a change) there would have been at least 5 Ubuntu releases in that time.
Why do I call it Wetnose? Because it's a dog of an OS!
If they have stats as to operating systems used for gameplay... Would be interesting to see how many of those 10mil actually use Vista, XP, MacOS and Linux etc...
Yeah, if they have hard evidence, you're basically screwed. BUT if you are a victim of one of those blanket witch hunt type suites you might be able to wriggle out of it on this basis... IANALE (Either hehe)
Maybe clutching at some copyrighted straws here, but could it mean that if you are sued you can fight them on the basis that their information is unreliable?
Okay, probably not a good thing to post so frequently BUT...
From TFA:
Co-author Professor David Vaughan (BAS) says,"This eruption occurred close to Pine Island Glacier on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The flow of this glacier towards the coast has speeded up in recent decades and it may be possible that heat from the volcano has caused some of that acceleration. However, it cannot explain the more widespread thinning of West Antarctic glaciers that together are contributing nearly 0.2mm per year to sea-level rise. This wider change most probably has its origin in warming ocean waters."
What warms the oceans? Global warming is a big buzzword today, and not without merit. I just find it interesting that there may be more possibilities out there than just "OMG we are killing the urf!"
Nature has a role to play in this too, humans weren't around during the ice-age, if we were we would have been blamed for Global Cooling I bet...

True but Gates headed MS for very long, and I think this is the pot calling the kettle a money shark...
My tinfoil hat is fine thankyou very mu... heeeaaayyy waidaminute... how did you know?

this article with a few graphs and stuff that sheds interesting light on the whole "How many vista installs..." question.
They compare Vista and MacOS, and no Linux numbers, but still, interesting read...
Here it is...
Seems they settled or something...
IBM's way of handling this just sucks for those employees...

...I no believe...
MS is going to try and force the issue with money, and sheer weight of numbers.
All together now: "MICROSOFT - BECAUSE IT'S THERE."
Maybe vsita will run faster using KDE instead!
That said more about the state of vista than any review ever could...
Yeah kinda.
Like with Gnome and KDE, Enlightenment have desktops next to each other, like sheets of paper laid onto a desk next to each other.
But, imagine you have the page layout stacked two, three, or more high on top of each other, much like your beer can analogy.
I get what you try to illustrate with the mirror analogy. I just find it hard to bend my mind around how it would work on a user interface...
Also, am I the only one who doesn't find it strange that two dudes discussing a computing tech use beer cans to illustrate a point?
Heard the word "Microsoft" way too often, how long before they own the rights?
What, like Enlightenment?

I've got marfan syndrome. I am really eager to have my genome sampled so that this condition is better understood.

Yeah I also re-read the discussion after I posted and thought "well genius, you just set yourself up..."
I still think that The God that Wasn't There is not a good critique of Christianity. Did you follow the other link I provided in the thread?
Wait, here it is:

I will follow your link after posting and see what they say.
That's so funny! I thought the same thing.
Question. And here I run the gamut of looking really dumb, but with a thing so light, will it get warm enough to actually burn up?
I am not at all read up in the re-entry-into-the-atmosphere field, so hence the question...
I know, bad form and all...
I checked and it was that movie, and just for interest sake here is the link to the full thread where we discussed the movie:

sorry, too lazy to html...
Is that the one called "The God that wasn't there?"
If so, I can rest easy... its way full of holes. We actually discussed that one on http://godgab.org/
Good chat, that.
Justice!
Sorry, someone had to ask...
If apple gets NBC on board, how will they feel about DRM in the long run?
But if I don't rtfa everybody calls me proby and I have to clean out the trash!

everyone was blaming global warming for the melting of the icecaps...
