moral of the story, use raw text based emails. hehe. really though, run yourself a good virus scanner and sit back comfortably and know you arn't the one doing it. it would be comming from anywhere..

no way in hell the new flagship OS from microsoft would need that kind of hardware. remember that windows spans the market because of its ability to work on a variety of different hardwares, and on equiptment that is relatively low in cost. putting the bar so high would never get them anywhere. if this were true, we would have heard by now that longhorne is not an end-user system, but more a system for developers and 3d film makers. maybe in its initial state it requires that, but reme

the words 'smaller' and 'less power consumption' would tell me that even if the performance was the same, ati's would be better built. i've always found ati to be more stable. i'm not even close to considering getting one of these two cards but i remember a thread a bit back about the new ultra so i thought this article would be useful.

wouldn't be as cheap methinks, after it goes to retail stores. customer service would have to be expanded, you would need to expand distribution, and in the united states you would need to open at least one satallite office somewhere on the continental. i've that about that myself, about how much more area they could hit by teaming up with something like Staples or Best Buy, but stardock would have to really go out on a limb.

you can set a windowblind's font usin the windowblinds option window, through the display properties. open the WB options from the 'appearances' tab. i was pleasently suprised to find i could use PostScript fonts in my 'blinds.. (helvetica extended, oo yeah!).. as it was explained to me, you'll be able to use any font installed on your system because windows still manages the fonts even for windowblinds.

what everyone who is concerned about ''spyware in stardock products'' has to remember is, this is a seperate program.. i think its being approached in a good way. you can get away with saying object desktop software will not be bundled with spyware because this could be a seperate program, and if it is turned off by default and letting users specify what informatin they want to send, would be seen purely as a survey tool and wouldn''t be intrusive. however, you''d want to be clear about

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - ATI Technologies Inc. (ATY.TO: Quote, Profile, Research) on Tuesday unveiled its new high-end graphics chip, and according to some of the Internet's leading Web sites for hardware reviews, the difference between it and top competitor Nvidia Corp. (NVDA.O: Quote, Profile, Research) may be too close to call. The new Radeon X800 will ship initially in two versions, the XT and the slightly less powerful Pro, and promises roughly double the performance of the last top-fli
