Hell, technically charter is too. You can use dial-up or DSL isntead. Or satellite.
The point is that both dns servers do pretty much the same thing, so it's kind of ironic to recommend using opendns if you don't like charter returning their own page when it can't resolve a domain.
You used the example of manually shutting off the computer to backup your claim that the statement saying that the antipiracy technologies can not turn off your computer is barely true.
Since when is manually shutting off your system an antipiracy technology?
Also, not activating will not turn off your computer.
The statement was not lying and even further was not at all deceitful. The concern was that WGA would automatically take turn off or disable the system, and the PR person said that is not true, nothing more.
However, look at browsers which make a true effort to support full W3C standards: KHTML browsers, Opera and Gecko browsers. Even compability between those browsers is sketchy in certain areas.
Why? Because the standards supported by browsers are far far more complex than any image format. Same goes for document formats.
Yes, because software a user explicitily installs doesn't come bundled with spyware they dont want and dont know is there. Users also never run attachments they receive without knowing what it is. And they never download and open BritneySpearsNude.jpg.exe from p2p and run it.
I'm pretty sure 85% is not considered a monopoly, and therefore you can not apply the special monopoly rules in this case. They have as much a right as Firefox and Opera to include what they want in IE.
Except history does not side with VMware. The most recent ruling on "extendending their monopoly into the browser market" is that they are not guilty of it. So why would it change with VMware, which is not an almost essential product like a browser is?

Um.. Opera9 is in beta right now. Those are rendering bugs.
I was replying to the guys comment about Javascript and CSS support lacking, which is not true.
I presume Mozilla's is as well.
I wrote a script for work that does a search (on an array created with js) and generates DOM objects (the search results). In Opera, it displays the "searching" animation as it should and lets me do other stuff, and only takes a few seconds.
In FF, the search animation is NOT displayed and the browser is locked up for at least twice as long as Opera takes to do the search.
The code is 100% compliant in regards to XHTML, CSS and JavaScript.

So all this talk about training to kill...
What about a game such as... oh... let's say... Super Mario Brothers?
You kill in that game. Is that training for our kids? What about duckhunt? The whole point of that game is to kill animals! Where is PETA in all this?
I call for a ban of Mario and other related games.

What part of "No, Microsoft antipiracy technologies cannot and will not turn off your computer," did you not understand?
Apparently all of it.
And I'm sure none of the millions of people that hate Microsoft would have noticed that by now.
You're partly right.
However, look at browsers which make a true effort to support full W3C standards: KHTML browsers, Opera and Gecko browsers. Even compability between those browsers is sketchy in certain areas.

You are arguing from a purely theoretical point of view.
then
In a truly free market when a solution is needed someone will provide it.
Nice job hypocrite.
Yeah, and OpenOffice still is worse.
Any since very few people buy the retail version, they would lose a ton of money. Yep, brilliant.
Yes, because software a user explicitily installs doesn't come bundled with spyware they dont want and dont know is there. Users also never run attachments they receive without knowing what it is. And they never download and open BritneySpearsNude.jpg.exe from p2p and run it.
Idiot.
Proof or shut up. There is a utility for Office that loads in startup called "Fast office startup" or something. But that's it.

He's talking about in Vista, because that is what the article is about. Pay attention.
What the hell does Office "lock-in" have to do with the desktop?
Yeah..that makes sense. Give away $28billion so you can save probably less than a billion on taxes.
Makes a ton of tense...

It's too bad people like you are not the majority, so your argument is moot. Most people DO use Windows, and most people won't mind.
Heheh.. such a naive and oblivious fool.
Except java applets are crap with much more overhead and confined to a window within the browser view.

Also, just search google for it man.

Who knows and who cares? Opera does display it how it is supposed to.
Had... yes.. back before 7.x.
Now it's javascript and CSS support are superb. Opera and FF are about equal in those departments.
30-40%? Hahahaha, yeah ok buddy.
