| 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*

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

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

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

explain to me what in the world a "domain" is? I'm familiar with
IP addresses like 128.32.112.233 or domains like http://csua.berkeley.edu

Is Microsoft inventing new linguo?

ad trackers on a web site, resulting in really fast load times.
For example, a typical media site will require 10-15 trackers
