Why aren't computer clocks as accurate as cheap quartz watches?

Fifteen years after the events under discussion, you mean?

If that is the real reason, then it cannot be a result of anything that Microsoft has done. You've contradicted yourself.

The operating system maker cannot kill off anyone, or would it want to. The greater the number of applications that run under its OS, the better.

Do you always speak loudly as possible? That makes about as much sense.

Mental capacity has something to do with your ability/inability to adapt.

You were, like in this message. Message-ID: You suggested Gary H has a limited vocabulary.

I wasn't referring to USENET as a novel. The same practice applies to all different forums.

If they are skilled or going by their instincts, they do so automatically. At leastr people where I come from do.

Have you ever had kids?

Not quite. Maybe you need to scroll up and reread your questions.

I didn't say by you nor is it even implied.

In fact, I refuse to discuss it with you and declining to discuss is not a defense of anyone, as I have told you a thousand times before, but you are apparently to stupid to understand simple english.

Don't tell anyone but I have a special secret: I know how to look things up and read =:O)

Why don't you go find another word and expand your vocabulary?

Understanding English and understanding your writing are two different things.

You've been defending Microsoft throughout this long thread.

Whether or not I can understand English, I sure can speak it and I don't miss typing one little bit. Amen brother.

I have no need to join your little club, thank you. As far as "Hardware", which group are you posting from? Its cross posted to: sci.electronics.basics, sci.electronics.repair, alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt. Some of us have worked on PCs for over

As far as STFU: You should practice what you preach.

YAWN. You barely get a .0001 on the "troll-o-meter". POAD

I can only speak about those that I have met. I'm sure that there are others, but I have never met any of them.

It's the one represented by the blindfolded lady of justice standing in front of the court: that the case shall be judged on the merits and not who one hates the most. And that was precisely the context of my comment.

Netscape was a complainant and in a civil case both sides are equal and equally under scrutiny. Neither is presumed innocent or guilty.

As for the government's case, it is a fundamental legal principle that one cannot use the law to 'enforce' an illegality (for example, an illegal drug supplier cannot sue his 'customer' for non payment and collect) so if Netscape were behaving in an illegal manner the court should not 'enforce' that illegality. So, yes, Netscape would also be 'on trial' in that context.

I presented it (below) as an "interesting" conundrum.

And brother you should know.

It's 100% true and nothing you present here contradicts it.

That was certainly Netscape's 'argument'. Whether there were actually any OEMS crying over wanting Netscape *exclusively* is debatable.

They were expected to not cut and hack Microsoft's product up, yes. And no one likes having their product mangled by OEMs.

The argument that the user would be befuddled by two browsers was certainly made but, frankly, as easy as it is to befuddle the average user I've never noticed that being a problem no matter how many browsers they had. Seems a lot of them can read, like "Internet Explorer" vs "Netscape" vs "Opera" vs "Firefox," etc.

Really? "we all know?" You must have been a busy beaver surveying the population of the entire planet for that absolute, all inclusive, declaration.

All I know is I certainly wouldn't buy one without a browser, not that I know of any that don't come with one, and, in that context at the very least, it's a 'necessary part' so if I were making a desktop O.S. it would be in the design specifications. In my opinion.

And I've used Netscape. And you, Mr. Post Headers Freak, should certainly know I'm using it right now. Funny how I was never 'prevented' from doing so by anyone, even without a law suit. Always had more than one media player too.

There's no maybe to it. And they acted in what textbooks describe, to show why they're 'bad', the classic monopoly manner: first offering the product at a low price, in their case free, and then, once a commanding market share is established, increasing the price.

I've told you a thousand times that I am not going to discuss the case with you and my simply describing the state of affairs at that time isn't a 'defense' of anyone either.
