what happens then? Guess I gotta brace myself for a wave of new frustrated customers :D

The difference... The AI is a teeny bit more on point..

Stuff that matters.. I don't even have a TV, to avoid this nonsense news.. eff off Slashdot!

spidery robots crawling in your car, sucking dust into their plastic bags...

that's why i prefer "request policy" much more than noscript, i dont use noscript.

with "request policy" it blocks any external resources, and allows any script being loaded or run from the same domain you're visiting. malicious adds and scripts are always external, and you're safe. with many sites, like slashdot, you have external elements and scripts from a domain being used as CDN, you can whitelist it in 2 clicks, and keep the rest blocked. very easy, and maintains compatibility and security.

well... because software is not a physical object like cars, books and records... you can not "own" it in the sense of ownership you do to physical object... but wait... all the stupid *intellectual property* laws enforced in the last few decades... claimed IP can be owned like physical property... hmm... someone is struggling with basic logic in the capitalism and mass theft department...

compile your own firefox, without the built-in libraries

you mean they're the latest ZOMBO.COM?

they still have a large enough fan base, people who will happily buy a new-comer if it holds an MS logo. add to this an MS branded desktop/laptop as suggested in the article, good enough integration between the 2 devices, throw in an xbox to the deal, and you have a very interesting offer.

i shudder at the idea of having MS invading yet another market, but you have to admit, if they play this right, it's a very smart idea.

year of the demise of the desktop...

and the children. don't forget all these poor children who'll be saved as well...

i highly doubt any terrorist is going to be reviewing his plan in the airport, even in a hushed voice... if he does, then he's one of those too stupid to be of any danger.

is canada the FIRST country to do so? i doubt it, but what IS a FIRST is publicly admitting they're going to be recording people in the airport.
