  1. Software giant Microsoft has been ordered by a judge to pay more than 290 million dollars in a patent case.

    The court ruled that Microsoft knowingly infringed on a patent belonging to Toronto-based i4i, a software manufacturing company.

    The alleged infringement occured during the making of MSWord and Microsoft’s Vista Operating System.

    “i4i will do its utmost to support custom XML users, which is particularly important to implement the ISO 29500 OOXML standard,” Michel Vulpe, i4i’s founder said in a statement.

    Microsoft is subsequently banned from selling any type of Word product that can open XML files (.xml, .docx and .docm).

    Will this result in the end of Microsoft Office? Only time will tell.

    lawl.

  2. I finally got to installing CoD 4 again and actually finishing the campaign this time. Can't wait for MW2 now ^^

    Began on hardened, last few levels cleared on veteran.

    bold=lol.

    The campaign is easy, after you tried it on hardened(i got that chosen difficulty at the training)everything's easy.

  3. ^only the kernel is.

    Actually, i find Linux faster than Windows.(except 7, 7 is the only OS made by MS that is capable of competing with Linux.)

    Still, benchmarks prove it's about as fast as Vista.. It starts up programs a little faster, but the programs aren't being run any faster. Games may just gain 2 fps, no big deal. Really, I don't know why people love 7 so much, but hate Vista..

    Because out of personal use, Vista has given me nothing but trouble. Windows 7, however, has only posed one problem and it was Linksys with the problem, not 7. The only problem I had on 7 was that I couldn't connect to the internet because of my out-dated wireless cards.

    Oh, and about gaming, my machine is hardly good enough to run Portal with XP((I have to lower just about every graphical setting)). When I started it up on 7, it ran beautifully, with high settings((automatically set by the game)), and didn't lag in the least((it's unplayable with those settings with my XP setup)). I don't even want to attempt to run Vista on this machine, because I doubt I'd do much more than rip my hair out from frustration. I highly doubt it would run faster than XP, even.

    exactly what i was gonna say. vista has given me and my friends so much shit (im always being asked to fix shit argh lol) that i have totally thrown it away in consideration for an OS, even before 7 was coming out. i wouldve just put XP, probably will and dualboot with 7 or something because vista is just terrible. first thing, UAC, as if that doesnt drive you insane. "are you sure you wanna right click on this object?" "yes" "you need administrative permission to continue...allow?" :bashhead: so you can turn it off sure, but, why include such a dumb thing that just gives everyone the shits. and so many issues in vista , printers n stuff not working, games not working (eg san andreas WONT find a save file and its in the right place).

    Mac ≠ Gaming. That's all I have to say on that. You CAN play games on a Mac but, if you wanna game on a computer, don't get Mac.

    Agreed.Vista was fail and overpriced, 7 is way better, Vista cannot compete with 7 in ANY possible way.

    UAC turned on on everything i turned on, but i disabled it, yet it is annoying to leave the setting like that.

  4. http://www.browserforthebetter.com/downloa...ie8:4u2qH3souh6

    Here is the deal – For every Internet Explorer 8 download through the Browser for the Better website, they will donate the financial equivalent of 8 meals to Feeding America's network of 206 local food banks. These food banks supply food to more than 25 million Americans each year!

    Im gonna DL just for the sake of it, not because i want IE or anything.

    Read moar.

  5. Linux,ahem Ubuntu, can work on pc's with at least 384 MB RAM, which is pretty fast if you have 1 GB RAM or more.

    I run it on a 6200 with 512 MB RAM,and ubuntu works great.

    So point:

    Don't install Mac=fail

    linux and windows=win.

  6. Lol, what a win topic >.<

    Funnily enough one of my ex's (while we were dating) asked me to mesaure my penis, I think it was just below 6" can't remember though and I can't be fucked to do it now for you guys.

    LOLWUT!

    Just tell her, 8 inches, when erected double.profit :P
