In my opinion EU should force Microsoft and hardware companies to:
- make public the windows OEM prices for the consumers and all computer makers and integrators, even if MS set prices varying with the units sold.
- refund any windows OEM sold with computers if the client desn't want to pay it using in a simple procedure. You as consumer should not be obliged to pay for a computer "accessory" if you not want. For me the story that a computer cannot be sold without an operating system is a bullshit. Put a FreeDOS installation or give for free a linux livecd if it was true.
- include at least 2 IE competitors included in every computer with windows OEM sold and installed.
- remove thw windows update dependency of IE. MS should make independent applications to do it.
- MS should be forced to make free viewers for every proprietary file format created by the company and for at least 3 or 4 of the main non-MS operating systems, like MacOSX, linux. etc.
- make public the windows OEM prices for the consumers and all computer makers and integrators, even if MS set prices varying with the units sold.
Why? What would it accomplish? Should the OEM contract pricing for intel processors, nvidia chipsets, Seagate hard drives, and every other manufacturer component possible, be made public as well?
Let's take it a step farther, and have the government regulate the price that OEMs should charge for systems, and see how well that works for the economy. Maybe they should control the software that users can use, as well.
There is certainly much to criticize about Microsoft's business practices, but targeting them for unreasonable government intervention simply opens the door for further unreasonable government intervention right across the board. No matter how much you dislike Microsoft, this isn't a road that you, as a consumer, wants to go down.
You can't demand a refund from Ford because they bundled an engine with your car when you'd prefer to install your own.
There is an argument to be made about Microsoft enforcing acceptance of an EULA, but that is completely separate from what you're discussing.
If a vendor won't sell a system without Windows pre-installed, then find another vendor. They are out there. It just means you, as the consumer, need to make a little more effort in your purchasing and be prepared to sacrifice some of the benefits that the "Windows" hardware manufacturers offer.
This isn't a Microsoft issue. It's a vendor issue. Again, this isn't something the gov't should be interfering in.
Forcing you to accept an EULA is different, and if MS wants to hide behind these then they need to accept the consequences that certain jurisdictions hold with regards to refunding etc., but it shouldn't be an enforced requirement on manufacturers.
- include at least 2 IE competitors included in every computer with windows OEM sold and installed.
Who decides which 2 competitors are included? What if HP chooses Safari and Firefox, will Opera then turn around an claim unfair business practice?
And who at HP, or any other manufacturer, is going to deal with the potential for increased customer support, from bundling additional software?
Remember that the reason people pay for name-brand software is the (sometimes unreasonable) expectation that the manufacturer will stand behind the system. Is Mozilla, Apple or Opera willing to invest in additional resources to help support customers that are "paying" for a browser since it is included with the system they purchased?
Of course, hardware manufacturers already bundle software, but those vendors generally pay a fee. Forcing hardware manufacturers to install software by mandate will simply result in incurred costs that will be happily passed on to consumers.
They already have.
Why? I understand the point you're trying to make, but you're not even addressing the core problem, simply encouraging wider spread adoption of proprietary standards.
If the gov't is going to intervene in this area, then they should ditch proprietary standards and utilize open ones. And refuse to utilize software that doesn't comply. That will do far more to impact Microsoft's behavior than any nuisance-type remedies will.
There is a reasonable suspicion in the netbook market that Microsoft is subsidising OEMs for the installation of XP in order to drive out Linux from the market. (I would be interested to hear of any netbook where one can get the exact same model hardware-wise with either Linux or XP installed as an option, and what the price difference is).
If true, that would amount to dumping or price collusion (depending on what exactly was done). These are illegal anti-competitive practices in most countries, for any company, let alone a monopoly.

Perhaps you could demand a refund from Ford if the engine they bundled with your car is broken by design.
This would be the rough equivalent of Ford engines not working with standard petrol (by design), and hence forcing all service stations to stock Ford gasoline as well as standard gasoline.
Of course, if you tried to put Ford gasoline in the tank of any other car ... it would break that cars engine.
Why not ?
Your not , your making ridicule of your own argument.
They make themself the target , by breaking the law.
You failed to proove , you know in court , that the demand where unreasonnable.
Actually you can.
1. The motor come with blueprints.
2. You can swap in any motor you want.
3. There is a big customization market and really big after market for it.
No , the argument as been made that they are all illegal , because most people don't have any clue what it say , that they did not enter into it with same bargainning power.
Then they are doing something illegal ...
Actually all vendor have testified to being pressused and menaced by Microsoft under oath ...
The end user.
The same people that already do for all their included software ...
They already do the support.
It's a punishment for Microsoft , that your falsely arguing is actually a hardware maker problem ...
If Microsoft can't follow the law and include what is demanded of them then the law will punish them and the hardware maker will drop them as not to be accomplice in Microsoft criminal activities.
Forgive me if I don't respect or believe your words ...
Proprietary standards are not illegal ... Yet ;-)
They already do require open source solution , the problem with Microsoft ( and Open Source in general ) is they support the standard but they modify and break the support of other of it by adding addition on top of it that they don't share with others. Everything that exist is based on Open Source standards.
Free Software is the only real viable solution.
They can do both , and that's what they are doing ...
The problem with your argmunet and why it's flaud is that Microsoft is not a respectfull corporation that follow all laws and respect the courts and market it's in or even the punishment it's suppose to follow.
They abuse there market privilege to kill competition in other markets.

Only because in the USA it is a common pratice to sell bundles of products without choice, unbundling rights or refuse to refund some non desired part it does not mean that is completely fair or legal.
See the Michael Moore's Sicko film
to see how big companies drive the laws and politics to distort the free market, non-wild capitalism and consummer rights in america.

Getting Ahead
It is often said that women who are employed lack ambition and the drive to succeed in business or the professions which men have. Comparisons of relative earnings and of occupational status of men and women show a superior achievement for men, as might be expected. Feminists of an earlier era were wont to make much of this fact, but few women seem concerned about it today. Most of them appear to believe that they have as much occupational outlet as they need. They are concerned, however, about certain aspects of the employment situation which affect them directly and for which the remedy is obvious, such as working conditions and hours, equal pay for equal work and other practical matters. Many of these issues are common to all employed persons, however, and must obviously be met by concerted action and by legislation. Legislation is apparently more necessary for women than for other employed groups because of the difficulty of inducing women to join organizations or to participate in group action. In many cases they regard their work as temporary in nature and in other cases they have heavy responsibilities at home which leave them neither the time nor the inclination for organizational work. But as our social consciousness grows and with it the sense of social responsibility, it may be possible that women, as well as men, will be able to define success more in terms of the groups of which they are a part and less in strictly personal terms. At any rate there appears to be an in-creasing number of women with a consciousness of the general welfare and a willingness to subordinate their personal aims to its promotion.
It is evident that the long period of waiting for marriage which in other eras inhibited so many women in their efforts to find suitable work or to prepare themselves for business and the professions is less common today. The average girl expects to work after leaving school and this occupational experience usually stands in her in good stead if she marries or if she remains single. The American girl can interrupt her working career to get married with satisfaction at achieving her matrimonial goal or she can continue to work with satisfaction in achieving her occupational goal. This acceptance of a working experience as a normal aspect of life has eliminated from view that embarrassing spectacle of our social life, the middle class girl with "hope too long delayed," who waited wistfully but conspicuously, with her hope chest full to overflowing with household linens and other paraphernalia of a genteel existence, for a husband to come and provide her a home and a living.
While conspicuous waiting has gone, there remains still a form of occupational slacking which is its more subtle equivalent and which hinders the success and happiness of some single women. For a small minority of young single women refuse to enter zestfully and happily into their work experience because they fear to Iessen their chances of marriage by appearing too interested in their work or their future prospects. They prefer to treat their working experience, how-ever necessary it may be to their livelihood, as an incident of minor importance in daily life. Clever girls are quite capable of making the most of their work experience and of keeping their occupational horizons bright while at the same time cultivating the social field with the desired success. But some girls lack either the insight or the ability to do this and they "mark time" by entering as little as they can into their work in the belief that they will in this way promote their social prospects. In what proportion they succeed we have no means of knowing but among the older single women whom we saw there was an appreciable minority who were still following this policy of marking time at their jobs, and who were for the most part unhappy, discontented women. Such situations give rise to the question as to whether the grudging, unwilling attitude developed toward work does not carry over into other areas and affect personal and social adjustment unfavorably too.

November 26, 19-45 BST
The Emirates Stadium, London
On Wednesday night, two teams whose respective league campaigns have been shambolic will look towards the respite of the Champions League and the respite it offers. Both Arsenal and Dortmund have had nightmare league starts, and after only 12 games, both teams seem to be out of title contention in their countries. That presents the Champions League as their go to tournament for winning some silverware.
For both teams and managers, the Champions League is a sort of Holy Grail, with coming close to winning it but only having to end up being satisfied as the runners up. Whether that happens, and if either team will do a Chelsea, remains to be seen.
Team News and Tactics
After the horror story that has been their league campaign this season so far, with their worst points' accumulation after 12 games in over 30 years, Arsenal would be glad to get back to playing in the Champions League again, even if it is against Borussia Dortmund. Despite doing their damndest to throw away the game against Anderlecht, they did come away with a point, giving them the comfort of knowing that Arsenal just need one point in their 2 remaining games to qualify for the knockout rounds for a 15th consecutive time.
Therefore, Arsene Wenger could very well go with a defensive minded setup, intent on getting a point and arresting the team's slide rather than trying to go toe to toe with Klopp's team. For once, Wenger might take the lessons of March 2013 and decide a safety first approach is what his team needs.
News has been filtering in that Jack Wilshere could be out for atleast 2 months, meaning he would not be available for this game. Wojciech Szczesny is also not fit for the game so it will be another outing for Damien Martinez between the goal posts. While Olivier Giroud is certainly fit, he would not be eligible to play because Arsenal did not include him in the squad for the group stages because he wasn't scheduled to return until after the group stages. With defending in mind, it is likely that Arsenal will go with a midfield of Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini, with the rest picking themselves automatically.
Predicted Line Up: Martinez; Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs; Ramsey, Arteta; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez, Cazorla; Welbeck
Borussia Dortmund
For Dortmund to be languishing in the relegation zone is unthinkable, at least if the form of the last few years is anything to go by. Klopp has certainly raised the profile of the team, with the expectations set at a new high. But it is the unpredictability of the German league that is what makes it so fascinating. Barring Bayern Munich, one can't really say that there are two or three teams that will always dominate. It wasn't too long ago that Wolfsburg had won the title. Then they dropped down the table for a few years and now are back again in the top 4. It shows how you can't take things for granted in this league.
Even then, for a team that was in the finals of the Champions League just a couple of seasons ago, it is certainly weird to see them in a relegation battle, even if it is a little too early in the season. However, it is almost sure that Dortmund won't be able to get back into the top 4 positions, unless they go on a run of form where they are unbeatable. However, if last weekend's game is anything to go by, it doesn't seem like it will happen. Therefore, winning the Champions League is their best shot at staying in Europe, however outlandish it may sound.
The weekend's game gave another shock to Klopp, with Marco Reus being stretchered off, and he won't be available for 2 months. He joins a line of important players for the club that are out due to injury, including Hummels, Bender and Sahin.
Predicted Line Up: Weidenfeller; Piszczek, Subotic, Ginter, Durm; Gundogan, Kehl; Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Jojic; Aubameyang
Key Facts
Arsenal have qualified for the knockout rounds for 14 consecutive years, and if they can get one more point, they will make it 15 in a row.
Of the last 6 away games in the Champions League, Dortmund have won 5 and lost only one.
Both teams have faced each other regularly in the group stages in the last 4 years, and the last 3 games at the Emirates between the two teams have ended in a 2-1 scoreline.
With both teams knowing that their positions are more or less confirmed in the group, they might not go at it with the same intensity, and would be more interested in keeping a clean sheet. But the way things are going, it might well end up as a 1-1 draw, with neither defence holding out.
Predicted Score: Arsenal 1-1 Borussia Dortmund

Last year we performed Satsangha at my home on June 19th. You can see the invitation I shared and the detailed pictures at the below links.
We have been performing Satsangha every month at many devotees houses. May also was planned at one of their houses and due to unavoidable circumstances, they couldn't perform. Since we didn't want to miss May, I decided to host the same.
I have been traveling almost every single week this month. This week I was at San Francisco, going back tomorrow again to San Francisco and coming on Thursday night. And next week to Minneapolis. May and June each and every week is completely booked with travel.
I was planning on hosting only in September, but like we all know Rayaru has his own ideas for his devotees. My husband said he will help me to host this, and so May 21st Sunday morning we decided was the date.
So, hereby I am inviting all of you residing in the Maryland, Virginia and DC area to come join us. We will start promptly at 10.00 AM. After the pooje, we will have lunch prepared by yours truly. 🙂
Please consider this as a personal invitation and join me and Raghu at our house. If you leave a comment, I will share my home address and phone number. Hoping to See you all.
I will post pictures and hopefully video this time of the pooje.

The highlight of today's news item is that there's a new essay titled "Why Closed Books are So 19th Century?":
And despite all that, we can often see that books are getting published on paper, and either completely not available online, or their free re-distribution is restricted. They are often available on Peer-to-Peer networks or illegally, but their use is still restricted, and complicates things.
In this article, I'd like to note why non-open books (or at least books that are not available online) are as pointless as non-open-source software.
The other changes are more minor:
- Improvements to the Recommended music page.
- Added my Vim configuration files to the site.
- There's a new fortune cookie.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
What model of Caffee Corso do you have the problem with?
Water filters and water softeners only remove a percentage of minerals from the water, lime scale is the main cause of scale, however there are many other minerals which can build up on the element.
Have you tried descaling the unit? Alot of the machines perform a self check as you turn them on, and if they detect a high degree of scale, they will not start the element to prevent it from failing.
The issue is scale, caused by your filtered water, if the unit is locked up and unresponsive this is probably due to faulty element. You will need to take the unit into a service centre.
Hi,I am Carl and I will try and help with your question. Do the lights flash any fault codes. The descale light is likely to come on at set intervals maybe after 100 cups of coffee or so.

Milwaukee Brewers Fans: Think You're Better Than Ned Yost or Dale Sveum?December 22, 2008
So, to go along with my lineup analysis post, I've calculated the run value for every Brewer player with over 100 ABs for every lineup slot, as well as some platoon values for selected players. So now I can find the optimal lineup for the Brewers 2008 season.
But now I ask you: Can you?
We're assuming that every player listed below can finish a full season (or in the case of Branyan, a full season as the lefty half of a platoon). I want to see how well you guys can make a lineup. You might be surprised at what the optimal lineup actually is.
1. You must fill each position.
2. You will have some platoon options. If you use a platoon, you must post two SEPARATE lineups for vs. RHP and vs. LHP.
3. Platoons will be counted as vs. RHP two-thirds of the time, vs. LHP one-third. This is crude but it tends to work well for platoons.
4. Each lineup must include a pitcher. The pitcher's spot is counted at 65 percent pitcher batting, 35 percent league average pinch hitter batting.
C: Kendall
1B: Fielder, Fielder/Branyan Platoon
2B: Durham, Hall, Weeks, Counsell, any platoon of those.
SS: Hardy, Counsell, Hall, any platoon.
3B: Hall, Counsell, Hall/Branyan, Hall/Counsell, Counsell/Branyan.
OF: Kapler, Hart, Cameron, Braun, any platoon.
Whoever makes the best lineup wins some pride. Sorry, I don't have anything to offer!

European CLOs Riskier Without More Loan Issuance, Moody's Says
Collateralized loan obligations in Europe will become riskier if their growth is not met with an increase in leveraged-loan issuance, according to Moody's Investors Service.
"A race to ramp up portfolios would likely lead to a decline in underwriting standards or the inclusion of riskier or lower-credit-quality assets, such as non-euro-denominated assets or assets domiciled in Europe's peripheral countries which would in turn increase credit risk and hedging costs," Moody's analysts led by London-based Dimitri Kaltsas, wrote in a report yesterday.
Origination of new leveraged loans is unlikely to be strong this year before picking up gradually after 2013, according to Moody's.
Almost 1 billion euros ($1.31 billion) of European CLOs have been sold this year, while at least 1.1 billion euros more from Blackstone Group LP's GSO Capital Partners LP, Carlye Group LP and Alcentra Ltd. are being marketed to investors, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
As the reinvestment period of 84 percent of the European CLOs will end this year, loans that would have been bought by them will become available to new funds, according to the report. New CLOs will also be able to find assets from existing deals going through deleveraging.
CLOs exiting reinvestmnent periods need to start using interest payments received on loans they hold to pay off investors rather than buy debt.
CLOs are a type of collateralized debt obligation that pool high-yield, high-risk loans and slice them into securities of varying risk and return.

Bright, Edible Flowers
DK - How to Grow Practically Everything, 2010 Dorling Kindersley Limited
Viola tricolor , or Johnny Jump-Up, is essentially a cold-weather flower and quite hardy. Its pretty little flowers are usually three-toned, with yellow, white and purple blossoms. They grow almost anywhere, in full sun to full shade and in cool soil.
An herb garden at its peak is alive with bees and butterflies busy harvesting pollen from the flowers. Many of these are full of flavor, such as the bright nasturtiums (Tropaeolum) that can add a vibrant peppery taste to a salad. They might not look it, but both anchusa and borage belong to the same family and both look good as a garnish for soups and salads or scattered in a fruit cup. For the greatest impact and flavor, pick early in the day and, whenever possible, only select perfect blooms. There are many more edible flower types than shown here, but research carefully before experimenting, as many plants are, of course, poisonous.
Materials Needed:
- 1 x packet seed Tropaeolum majus Alaska Series
- 1 x packet seed Anchusa azurea
- 1 x packet seed Borago officinalis
- 1 x packet seed Viola tricolor
Border Basics:
Size: 3x3 feet or larger
Suits: Any style of garden
Soil: Fertile and moist but well-drained
Site: Full sun or light shade
Planting and Aftercare
All these herbs are easy to grow and can be module sown under cover in late spring and planted out at 4–8-inch spacings into a weed-free bed once the risk of frosts has passed. Alternatively, sow seed directly into the soil in early summer and thin out once they have grown their first set of true leaves. Regular deadheading and harvesting promote further productive flowering, but reduce the amount of seed produced. Nasturtium seeds are edible when pickled, and can be collected and sown the following year, while borage may freely set seed and regularly re-emerge.
Tropaeolum majus Alaska Series: Plants that need protection from frost over winter, Well-drained soil, Moist soil, Full sun, Award-winning plant
Anchusa azurea: Fully hardy plants, Moist soil, Well-drained soil, Full sun, Award-winning plant
Borago officinalis: Fully hardy plants, Well-drained soil, Full sun, Partial or dappled shade
Viola tricolor: Fully hardy plants, Moist soil, Well-drained soil, Full sun, Partial or dappled shade
