Whadyamean? MS Office was first developed for Apple. When Apple was in financial trouble, MS invested in them. They have been working together for decades.
Novell got Fourty Million Dollars out of it. MS is the loser. Novell is an incredibly shrewd company. Over the years they have screwed MS out of almost a billion dollars in the form of out of court settlements. MS must have seen another one coming and did a pre-emptive submissive roll over...
Yup, pretty much everything is excluded, making it a nonsence agreement. However, considering that MS paid Novel M$40 for the agreement, it makes sense from Novell's point of view...
Well, trying to crook(es) Michael Geist doesn't sound like a wise move to me. Here in Canada the Mounties always get the crook(es) and they end up in the slammer.
Yes, but only in Europe and especially in Sweden and the UK. I would advise the Technion against doing trials in those two countries. The rest of the world should be fine. It must be due to something with the local water supply - perhaps they don't have enough mercury in their water.
You need a proxy server with a proper filter such as Dan's Guardian or Squidguard with Willowbark or Viralator.
Never hook a naked Windoze PC to the internet - Windoze needs to hide behind a penguin.
The main problem with internet news, is that you cannot wrap fish in old news, so stuff tends to hang around until someone eventually forgets to renew his domain name.
I agree with you that lots of crap have been written about aspartame. However, a small number of people are indeed very sensitive to it. It causes increased muscle tension which in my case simply make me feel 100 years old. In some countries (Europe), products containing aspartame have warning labels.
Note that if you add up the money transfer, then MS actually paid Novell M$40. I think that the 'covenant' protects MS against being sued by Novell, not the other way around.
God, why would 3 set-top boxes be an improvement? By that reasoning it would be even better if each box had its own separate wall wart and remote control too - hmm, I guess they do...
You can't say the US doen't care about the environment. North America has taken huge strides in improving environmental factors over many decades. Air and water quality has improved a lot, despite a fast growing population. The USA plants more trees each year than the rest of the world together:
"In 1999, the forestry community planted some 1.7 billion trees in the United States. That's an average of more than 4 million new trees planted every day - more than 5 new trees a year for every man, woman and child in America." http://www.sharplogger.vt.edu/virginiasfi/faq.html
"Q: Are America's forests in danger? A: Not at all. Because the United States practices reforestation, its forests have actually grown in size over the past century. About one-third of the United States -- 749 million acres -- is covered with trees. In fact, we have more trees today than we had 70 years ago. On the nation's commercial forests, net annual growth exceeds harvests and losses to insects and disease by an impressive 50 percent each year." http://www.afandpa.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Fore stry/FAQs2/FAQs.htm
I don't see why North America has to suffer due to bad management in the rest of the world that now needs drastic measures to reverse. We have been doing our part for a long time and we'll continue to do so regardless of the European scare mongering.
Also, the USA, Canada and Mexico are Federations. People are directly affected by their state governments and only indirectly by the Federal government. Most people in North America don't give a hoot about the Federal government. This is especially true in Canada, where the Federal goverment is very weak. States commonly tell the Feds 'that new law of yours is very nice, but we won't enforce it' - a nice way to say 'fuck off'.
The power of the USA federal government increased a lot during and after the USA civil war, while in Canada the federal power has declined to the point where the only people interested in the federal government are the almost one million souls living in Ottawa - the other 30 million living elsewhere don't give a damn, since their state governments are more important.
France built up their nuclear capability long ago. They are also far removed from Chernobel. The countries surrounding Ukraine had a serious scare and many nuke projects were scrapped. In some cases nuke stations were converted to coal fire. Anyhoo,just take a look at Uranium prices and shares and you'll understand. - When in doubt, follow the money.
Of course you are correct, but it is so much cooler to do it from a moon base and there is so much more room to make loads of money off Joe Taxpayer...
The whole purpose of the global warming hullabaloo is to convince Joe Sixpack that a nuculear power station in his backyard is actually a good idea. This is more of a problem in Europe, since those countries have few nuclear power stations and because the Chernobel nuclear mess happened there. The US doesn't need so much scare mongering, mainly because the US backyard is so much bigger than anywhere else, but also because the US already has a large number of nuculear power stations. If you want in on the scam, buy shares in uranium/gold mines (uranium and gold are usually mined together).
Well, honestly, timber is a renewable resource. What is needed is some basic edumacation (no idiot left behind?) of these tropical meat heads so that will start planting replacement trees. North Americans plant billions of trees each year. There is no reason why the rest of the world can't do the same.
Yup, I go a step further and log in via SSH since it is even easier to just do it myself. BTW, I do the same with the Windoze machines I maintain. They all have Windoze Remote Desktop *and* Cygwin with OpenSSH installed. It saves me countless hours.

Well no, I would not be so harsh. The Microsoft security flaws are all their own innovation.

The general.config.obscure_value seems to be one of those.
What does it do? It doesn't seem to be the answer to anything.

Hmm, that can be done with Qemu or VmWare and is known as a Kiosk. The trouble is that the machine can still do a lot of damage in between reboots.
Finally a good Free Masons joke!

Not to mention that orange juice in particular creates benzene, a known carcinogen, when exposed to light...
