Hands-On With Windows 7's New Features 662

Posted by timothy on Tuesday October 28, 2008 @12:17PM from the less-sucking-is-good-in-this-context dept.

Barence writes "Microsoft has released the first pre-beta code of Windows 7, and PC Pro has a series of in-depth, hands-on examinations of all the new features. The revamped user interface has clearly gleaned more than a little inspiration from the Mac OS X Dock, but it goes further than the Apple concept with 'jumplists,' new gadgets and an updated system tray.

And yet they have this inconsistent policy of article removal, controlled by an elite who are the only ones who can touch it. It's just weird.

Journal Journal: Dealing With Domain Squatters 2

Journal by Rhoads47 on Tuesday August 21, 2007 @10:44PM

I'm developing a website and the domain that I want, like all other usable domain names, is currently registered by a domain squatter. The registrant has a multiple-year registration on this name and it expires in 10 months. I am afraid that if I convey my interest in the domain to the domain squatter that they will renew the domain indefinitely and only offer it to me for a price that is obscene. On the other hand, waiting 10 months to try to snatch the domain when it expires is also unat
