Bit tricky outside of the US, still, wanted to use the Queens's postcodefor a while, until I kept getting adverts for Nazi memorabilia 1st mention of Godwin gets 3 whooshes on either side of face. Hard

Wondered how long it would take for someone to try to implicate MS, well done.

Not sure how, maybe cleaner in hotel room, but having my account cleaned out, address changed by my incompetent bank over the phone(!) without querying via snail mail or phoning me, it wasn't funny.

Wouldn't a large dollop of raspberry (c)ripple icecream solve the short term heat problems. OK it might be cream crackered later.

No, not linux, get them to work with Gnome KDE Unity or god knows how many desktops, therein is the problem. Can you assure me that your app, audio and video will work with my choice of desktop?

See how well the windows 7 sins campaign worked?

Well if the users asked are the marketing department at google otherwise....

If only mate, there's probably more of us than they've made yet. Wouldn't mind one though...

So something no-one wants, universally reviled, will never see production, pure vaporware. Sorry I must have missed the news that Canonical had been bought by Microsoft.

If you have any technical nous at all, read tech sites or news paper reports, you can't be a juror on a case that requires the jury to understand tech stuff, really for this sort of case the law needs changing as it does for fraud cases which last years and the jury really don't have a clue. These tech lawsuits are getting out of hand, I believe judges can declare platiffs to be in contempt of court and bar them from further prosections.

Really?? Well I lived in Reading 15 miles or so from Heathrow on its flightpath and Condorde pilots turned on the afterburners at Woodley about 4 miles before it got to us. It was incredibly loud - at 10:50 and 19:25 each day you just had to stop what you were doing for 3 minutes, buildings shook, car alarms went of - conversations were impossible. This never happened with other commercial jets. This wasn't just Boeing sh*t stirring. (Although they were a bit) Fortunately it didn't cause sonic booms for us. I was flying on my honeymoon when the Paris Corcorde crash happened, bit of a shock when I saw the news.

I know this is slashdot but to quote that site as representative? why not the FSF's to get a bit of balance? Or the Firefox developers'? Actually I'm shocked that 15% of their visitors do use IE given the antipathy to Microsoft. When Google's stats show something similar then that will be another matter.

Umm less standard? OK I'm English from England, we would never, ever say I've been burglarized, I've never even heard the word in 50 years on this planet before but Chambers says it's OK well actually not with the final D. Still I guess the verbification of a nounifiction etc is Ok on the intertubes.

For heaven's sake what's wrong with burgled?
