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.

           I'm not the "short GOOG" guy, just someone who envies Google
           employees.

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

5/3     so you think microsoft will buy yahoo?
        \_ If yahoo is owned by MS, perhaps they will no longer have scientology
           moles within their organization farming for the email addresses of
           people who are trying to avoid the COS.  Fuck Yahoo, and fuck their
           evil scientology moles!

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
