| 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'

like on a mac or 100 million other Unix window managers?

\_ 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

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.)

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

| 2007/5/4-7 [Computer/Companies/Yahoo] UID:46528 Activity:high | 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!
\_ God I hope not. -tom

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.
