  1. The name is very similar to "azufre" in spanish on Microsoft Announces Windows Azure, Cloud-Based OS · · Score: 1

    The name is very similar to "azufre" (sulfur) in spanish.
    It's the smell of the devil!!!!! X-D
    Do you remember Chavez in the UN saying "I smell sulfur" after Bush speech?

  2. We'll hate MOZILLA too!!!!! on Someday You'll Hate Apple (And Google Too) · · Score: 1

    It's just a question of time before we hate Mozilla too. If Safari or Opera get close in the browser war they will use the same tactics as Microsoft or any other evil corporation.

  3. This is what happens when Vista fails... on Yahoo Bid shows Microsoft on the Ropes · · Score: 1

    Only new users keep live.com as the default search engine in Vista (IE7)... until they discover everyone else is using google because it's a much better search engine. Exeprienced users change it to google as soon as possible or they just remove Vista and install any other OS. In this situation any big corporation will buy another big company in that field and hope it's enough to beat the google juggernaut.

  4. WAR!!!! on Cybercrime Now Worth $105 Billion, Bypasses Drug Trade · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I see it coming... We had a war on drugs, a war on terror and soon we'll have a war on cybercrime. What country must be invaded this time?

  5. Re:goddamit! on First Peek at Netscape Navigator 9 · · Score: 1

    Yeah! let's criticize the competition! Forget about the real problem with the vagueness of web standards. You should also forget that Netscape has the same engine than firefox and be as hard as you can with the competition so you can write html faster.

  6. Are we still in the middle ages? on Avoiding the Word "Evolution" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Are we still in the middle ages? Can I say something about the Sun being on the center of the solar system without being totured till I accept that the Earth is the center of the whole universe? This is so sad...

  7. This is all a PR strategy on Mr. Ballmer, Show Us the Code · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is all a PR strategy. They have to pay a LARGE amount of money to Alcatel-Lucent because of patent infrigments and they had to do something to balance the situation on the media. Bad politicians do exactly the same. If they are responsible of something regretable, they will accuse their oponent of the same thing.

  8. One step closer to a dictatorship. on US Citizens To Require ''Clearance'' To Leave? · · Score: 1

    ...just another step closer to a dictatorship. This is the real victory of the terrorists.

  9. Re:Well, perhaps its not that bad on Early Testers Say Vista RC1 Not Ready · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree with you. All that new code will have (has) loads of bugs and everyone will think twice before upgrading to a new OS just because Microsoft says so. For what I saw in Windows XP SP2 and all its bugs I wouldn't wait to Windows Vista SP2 to upgrade... maybe Vista SP4 would be more cautious given the amount of new code on this OS. But remember what happened to Windows XP. Most of the people kept Windows 98 or 2000 but at some point most of us upgraded to Windows XP. In my case, most of my clients have this OS and I need to make tests on this OS constantly. As always this will not be a question of what OS is better, but a question of how many brands ship their computers with Windows Vista preinstalled to new customers and how many have Linux preinstalled.
