Timmy:
It's obvious to me with the below that you're simply here to cause trouble. This
isn't an intelligent debate to you, it's troll-food.
You've obviously paid no attention to the intelligent arguments posted here, or if
you have, you couldn't gainsay them with actual technical knowledge or keen
insights. Instead you have started the wholesale gainsaying of anything anyone
posts here.
I wish you luck in your Windows realm, and I'll be ignoring this thread from here
on out.

They went out of business by losing so much stock value that they got

Actually at the time Microsoft started to shoehorn IE into Windows, IE
was still known as a lesser browser, and couldn't compete with Netscape
on merit alone.
And at the time MS started giving away IE, they were fighting a losing
battle in trying to get people to use IE at all, and were losing what
little marketshare they had at the time.
The gains in quality that IE showed *after* Windows 98 came out have had
little to do with Netscape.

Join the Tax Patriots. In the US, the Income Tax, in order to be
constitutional, had to be made a voluntary tax system. Do the proper
paperwork, and you don't gotta pay taxes. The only people legally
required to pay income taxes are: government employees, government
beneficiaries, and officers of corporations.

I know an author, Thomas Monteleone (Blood of the Lamb, etc), who has
not paid income taxes in 20 years.

Here's today's Malloy digest. Once again he ignores all the unresolved
issues, such as his alleged reciprocation, his illogic regarding his
frequenting of "these precincts", how he tried to speak for everyone
else, his parroting, the nonexistent chat with the "TPTB", his use of
the word "necessarily" inappropriately, and so on. It must be a cold
day in Hades because the fact is that there was no "chat with TPTB".
There is no "TPTB" at UofH to have a chat with, Malloy's pontification
to the contrary notwithstanding. Notice how he never produces any
evidence.

Where did McCoy demonstrate that he's learned from his error, Malloy? He
just made another similar one.

Gee, if changing your mind is somethng you can anticipate, then perhaps
you shouldn't make a big deal out of stating what you're going to do.

Too bad that Mark claims that there is a reason. And perhaps he's changed

Unlike Stuyck, I did not ask you or anyone to address me with any title,
Malloy. Of course, it takes decent reading comprehension skills to
realize that difference.

And what does the waiter/waitress say after the food's been brought to
you, and you say that you've changed your mind and want a completely
different entree? I don't expect Malloy to answer this one, readers.

And Malloy once again demonstrates his reading comprehension problem,

QDOS became MSDOS the moment it was bought. But yes, the author

I think why Sun is being friendly to Linux is that Linux helps build
user's UNIX familiarity. Linux programmers can become Sun programmers
with little training. Linux users can become Sun users with little
training. Having a cheap, widespread UNIX available to people at
home lets big UNIX companies like Sun enjoy some of the benefits of
OS familiarity that Microsoft currently enjoys. Often people pick
Microsoft solutions simply because of previous familiarity. Sun wants
to take a little slice of that mindshare for themselves, I think.

Depends on secretary. Many don't. Some do.
Still, no secretary refuses to do something just because it takes a
little typing. It's been this way since the typewriters went in broad
