2012/3/15-6/1 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:54340 Activity:nil | 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*

\_ 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

2007/7/10-16 [Computer/Companies/Apple] UID:47242 Activity:high | 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

saver that displays the user desktop as it is, including showing
updates (such as from logfile scrolling by in an application, etc.)

2007/5/13-14 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:46613 Activity:nil | 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

2007/4/13-16 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:46291 Activity:nil | 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

#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.

2006/10/31-11/2 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:45057 Activity:moderate | 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
