Rudy Giuliani speaks the truth
Slander him all you want AO, but I have new found respect for the man after watching this:

Nice try AC, but Linux offers the code for free, not the compiled end product. If Linus suddenly decides to charge everyone, you are free to fork the code and compile your own version, for free.
So unless Microsoft have published the source code for Hyper-V server under a GPL license (goosebumps), your argument doesn't hold water.
I just finished reading a book on HTML5, CCS3 and ES 6. Boy have we come a long way from the dark ages of IE 6. Some of the new APIs like WebRTC (https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/), Web Audio (http://webaudioplayground.appspot.com/), Canvas(http://paperjs.org/showcase/) and WebGL (http://threejs.org/) look poised to make the web the dominant platform in the coming years, while thick clients get pushed into irrelevancy.
Open, decentralized, and truly, write once, run anywhere. No wonder Microsoft is giving Windows 10 away, Google is pushing Chromebooks and Firefox is betting the farm on FirefoxOS.
Yet somehow I couldn't help but feel HTML5 could have been standardized by now, and we would probably be several versions along, hadn't it been for Microsoft's crippling of the web through their default browser to extend their chokehold on the desktop market for a few more years.
The future looks bright, and Windows is nowhere in sight. Good bye and good riddance, you won't be missed.
is really catching up with their cronies down south in terms of stupidity.
I knew most of them were technically illiterate, but had no idea they would be stupid enough to think passing some law would automatically stop spam.
All this does is hurt the local small businesses, the guys who are legitimately providing a useful service, but don't have the big bucks to take out an ad on TV and play like the big boys. Email provided a cheap and efficient way for them to advertise without losing their shirt. Somehow, I don't think the prince of Nigeria would give a crap about our laws when he has 50 million waiting to be transferred to my account pending the click of a button and a cheque for $2000 for 'administrative' charges.
On the other hand, this is probably yet again an ingenious ploy by the lawyers to keep themselves busy till the end of time. So it is a win for the lawyers and a win for the mega corporations at the expense of small businesses and mom and pop shops. New world order, here we come!

Just went to check on mine and I get this message:
"Your profile has been deleted.
Your profile violated our Terms of Use. We have deleted your profile and we encourage you to read our policies and usage guidelines before you create a new profile."
Not logging in for about 10 years must violate their TOS. Who knew?
The best things about Orkut were the "who's viewed your profile" feature, which helps spot stalkers, and the fact that it kept formatting of ascii art in profile, which let me do things like this:

Which would end up looking like the 7th pic here (http://ascii.co.uk/art/eagle), instead of the abomination above. Beat that, Reg!
It would be more like a pimp giving you information on where to find a prostitue, and taking a cut for it. The app makers are in the right here, neither them, nor the users are in the business of selling parking spaces. They are merely providing a service which helps locate them.
Another day, another feminist ruining the world for everyone else. Someone should remind her she was hired to code, not making the workplace a "better" place for women (when what she really wants is a hostile environment for men, and more privileges for women).
Sick and tired of these feminist types, they are the ones who constantly try and change everything for everyone else (when they are the ones who should be adapting), then bitch and moan when they don't get their way.
Feminism has lost its purpose and is now getting to be ridiculous.
The link was to show that their site wasn't accessible from other web locations as well. I simply type plain "http://vikaspedia.in" into my browser and still get the same error. And I don't run a TOR or proxy site on my network either. Sure its a static IP, but that's about it.
I'm in North America by the way. Not sure if others around here have a similar problem.
