Five years? That's insanely optimistic.

Five months, if they're lucky.

Is that all?
Dude, they're so inept they are lacking competent janitors!

Oh, crud, you're right. Memory's going in my old age.
It was Watcom 6.0, so numbered because it was greater than Microsoft C 5.0 at the time.

Watcom was even better. The first release of their C/C++ compiler was Watcom C 10.0. They picked 10 because it was bigger than any competitor's version number at the time.

He became one of the world's richest men by sheer blind luck, according to that Wikipedia article. Broadcast.com was just another over-valued dotcom company until Yahoo came along and paid $5.9 billion for it. Cuban was just smart enough to take the money and run.

I think the crackdown should be on Visa and Mastercard. Think about it; it's illegal to receive stolen goods, or sell stolen property, but the credit card companies are acting as intermediaries for these crooks.

If Harper and his cronies get their way there will recording and monitoring devices installed in every ISP in the country. There goes your privacy.

Ah, thanks! That's the one I was thinking of, especially the huge flock of them at the end.

Leopard is $118 from Amazon. And you can go cheaper if you buy 'used'.
Or find a friend who has a spare license left in a family pack.

Methinks thou doest protest too much.

Ha! The joke's on him. The Zune web site is crawling with references to 'podcasting'.

Guess what the 'pod' part of 'podcasting' refers to?

A little citric acid-based solvent will clean that right up for you, and it won't hurt the case.
