3/21    Browser Plug-In you must get: Ghostery. It gets rid of a bunch of
        ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
        For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
        (you know, those URLs that track your activities so they can
        target you better). Ghostery kills them.
        \_ This has been working well for me, and breaks fewer things

        old? I am investigating making a big SSD order. -ausman
        \_ how much performance gain are you expecting from using SSD?
           Let's say your 7200RPM yields 70 MB/sec (sustained) read and
           your new SSD yields 160 MB/sec read, and that your application

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?

3/15    Why does MS put double-quotes around the '8' in Windows Server 8, like
        the following?
        - Windows 8
        - Windows Server "8"
        \_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
           and went over?  Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

        when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
        use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it
        because the bottom-right corner is not accessible).
        \_ Which OS?  Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
           the height to be smaller?

        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in San Jose, California, claims that Microsoft has forced PC manufacturers to include Microsofts media player while at the same time placing restrictions on how competing players may be installed, RealNetworks said in a statement released on Thursday. Were accusing Microsoft of engaging in a broad range of predatory practices to protect their operating system monopoly and to try to create a new monopoly in the digital media space, said David Stewart, deputy general counsel for RealNetworks, in an interview. The lawsuit seeks to recover damages lost because of Microsofts illegal conduct, according to a quote in the statement attributed to Rob Glaser, RealNetworks chairman and chief executive officer. Were trying to stop Microsofts conduct in the digital media space and were seeking good compensation for the harm Microsoft has caused us, Stewart said. The settlement Microsoft reached in November 2001 in the antitrust case brought against it by the United States Department of Justice DOJ and several United States states is flawed, Stewart said. The settlement orders Microsoft not to retaliate against PC makers who offer competing software products, such as RealNetworks media player, with the PCs they sell. We cooperated extensively with the DOJ in the antitrust case, but it has become clear that government action wasnt enough, Stewart said. The settlement is full of loopholes and Microsoft is using them all. Microsoft is still restricting how PC makers install media players on PCs and forcing PC makers to install Windows Media Player. Furthermore, Microsoft is preventing consumers from removing Windows Media Player, Stewart said. The settlement the DOJ entered into just isnt stopping Microsofts predatory conduct, and were also alleging a broader course of predatory conduct, Stewart said.
