            \_ m$ fixed it, but here's a screenshot

               \_ They "fixed" it by simply removing the entries from the page?

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*

4/2     I'm running Windows.  How do i get cool virtual desktops
        like on a mac or 100 million other Unix window managers?
        \_ 2 minutes of googling should get you some answers.
           MS has a "powertoy" for this.
        \_ VMware Workstation?

10/1    Where's the short Google at 100 guy?
        \_ Me thinks it's a great time to short now.
           \_ Yeah, definitely short it now!  Funny thing about stock
              valuation:  it can sometimes be rational and sometimes
              be irrational.  If everyone hates a stock, and everyone
              shorts it except for a few, and no one who actually owns

7/10    My girlfriend downloaded music from iTunes onto another computer,
        which we do not have access to anymore. Apple has record of the
        purchases through the "Purchase History" option, but their policy
        is that you can only download once. I never realized that. WTF?!
        Why would they have such a policy when they clearly know what she
        bought? Has anyone sued them over this? We have so many songs in

5/25    Happy towel day.  Question:  does anyone know of a Windows screen
        saver that displays the user desktop as it is, including showing
        updates (such as from logfile scrolling by in an application, etc.)
        but works with the normal MS screen lock function?  -John
        \_ If the screen saver displays the desktop as it is, how does it save
           the screen?

5/13    Someone please give us a 411 on Windows Vista? Is activation
        tougher than WinXP sp2? Is it impossible to get around now forcing
        you to pay for upgrades? Let me just say that I don't like Windows
        OS.  I don't mind using Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint,
        and they actually make decent games. However, for over a decade
        I've been sucked into using Windows3.0/95/98/2K/XP because

4/13    I use IE7 to browse a web site, and the server says the UserAgent
        string is
        "UserAgent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET
        CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)"
        Is MS bowing to the Mozilla community?
        \_ What are you talking about?  IE has always reported its UserAgent

11/3    In my WinSock.h for v1.1 (dated 6/4/02), there is this line:
                #define AF_FIREFOX      19              /* FireFox */
        What is that???  FireFox socket address family?
        \_ It is a hack MS put into the windows network stack back in '02 to
           slow down FireFox network connections.

10/31   A friend of mine said he's loving Microsoft again because Bill G
        is starting to donate all of his money to charity. He's boycotting
        Google, Yahoo, and other mega companies because they're too big and
        too power and thinks they're all becoming the old Microsoft, whereas
        Microsoft has recently done a lot of good things like investing in
        education and charity. He just paid for a copy of Microsoft Windows
