There are already a bajillion (non-technical term) of other platforms that can provide dynamic content without needing to get compiled languages like VisualWhatever.NET involved. AJAX is extremely powerful, one among plenty more great cross-code web design patterns, and is more secure than bringing the herpes in the intertubes that much closer to your kernal.
Why in the heck would they wan't to put WPF (more like WTF) in Firefox, besides sabotage any feelings of safety one used to have. Integrating.NET that closely to the Internet is shady at best. It becomes no better a situation than getting an ActiveX driveby from unpatched IE (or IED if you will).
IMHO, I don't see the need to shove.NET down web users throats, making them vulnerable to more 'root'-owned style attacks by placing the internet one step closer to your local Just In Time (to pwn you) compilers.
When will companies realize that kicking and screaming about an issue they can't legitimatize will kick them in the testicles? Will T.I. really lose oodles of greenbacks because Joe geek likes to mod his calculator to play Mario or run Linux or watch porn (last item questionable). I highly doubt people hacking their calculators will cut into revenue, if anything it will increase it by bolstering interest in the extended possibilities of their products. Technophiles do not like to buy equipment they are legally castrated for modding or learning about the inner-workings.
When profit is valued more than satisfaction of customers...oh wait..*status quo* *status quo*.
The answer to the original question lies our government and legal system's ability to cease giving them the fucking pacifier every time they cry wolf.
"I wasn't actually aware that " Dr. Tim White of UC Berkeley had been 'sh*ting' on A. ramidus but apparently he has (I remember the original furry of interest back in the '90s when it was announced)".
This seems like another Microsoft initiative that just generates even more Microsoft anti-sentiment. Yes, these pirates are running illegal copies of their operating system, but holding features based on the legality of the license is not a very intelligent idea IMHO. Developing features that are dependent on the legality of the instance of the operating system install seems like wasted resources. If anything, they are fighting the problem, not the cause. This is just a message to pirates saying "Hey, we know the software your running isn't legitimately licensed, so we are going to disable some stuff on it so you don't get to use it to it's full potential." That will sure make the pirates want to buy MS software, but...oh. But maybe I am shooting myself in the foot. "Security Essentials"? Last time I checked MS stuff (OneCare anyone?) doesn't quite live up to anti-mal-spy-virus standards. So from what I see they are debilitating worthless software for machines that are used illegally anyways because the folks running unlicensed copies generally believe their OS is worthless (at least in terms of MSRB).
True. But if you could just convince all those people in the 1 open lane to wear balaclavas and go speeding through the other 49 lanes, then maybe the man would realize, "Oh wait-maybe we're doing something wrong". And then they would realize they could open all the lanes, and charge a lower price! And then traffic would flow better and people would be happy with the man and the system.
Or they would just build 50 more lanes, have 2 out of 100 open, and fine the balaclava wearers!
1. Create system with potential.
2. Cripple it with bureaucracy, idiocy, & greed.

Q: " "Why didn't better content cost more?"
A: This is the media, if their content was better, they wouldn't need to force charge people for the vast sums of shitty content they spew in much higher proportions than the actual good content.
I am assuming somebody founding their company with the name E=MC^2 would at least be aware of navier-stokes, but you know what happens when you assume, well, i'm not going to tell you...
Not necessarily brave. We 'all'? A lot of people experience decline, and instead of just blowing their brains out, they either a) get better, b) don't (in this case giving up isn't brave). Understandable, he is a bit over-the-hill, but suicide is devastating to those who still care about him, and wasteful act of selfishness.
...on the first day? The one that says something like "All code I write for the company and all derivative works are property of the company..." Looks like they were serious. Even though he may have been accessing freely available open-source files, if that code was on company servers, you can be damn sure they are going to scrutinize the heck out of him regardless of intent.
Why not just go home and get it off the internet? Why even risk it when you know how touchy companies can be about IP?
I just went to http://www.kfc.com/ and jesus lmaonaise rotfsauce, I have never seen people dance so enthusiastically over chicken. Holy damn check out the marketing shenanigans these tools were payed dto sock-puppet. Sorry for the tangent, but its worth a good lawl.
You realize that companies can and do buy fruit and resell it to a third party for a profit right? The farmers don't then get a second slice of the profits.
In that case the product isn't consumed before it is resold. That is the heart of the issue, it's not the resale, but the consumption of reusable goods that prevents further revenue streams for the same products. I don't endorse the publisher's complaints, I was just stabbing holes in the comparison.
"just like stealing an apple, or stealing a car. There is no difference...
You must be a fan of 2-Girls-1-Cup! The resell market for Apples? Last I checked the process of buying a new game and selling it back metaphorically fails to the gestation of an apple.
In my high school AP Physics B/C class, we built a 'railgun' per se to accelerate a metal object down two rails of alternating flow of current (DC current just in opposite directions on each rail). Using the right hand rule or some other memory trick will reveal the forces acting on the projectile, or just look on wikipedia.
Good project to study electricity, magnetic field strength, velocity and acceleration in a 3D plane over a period of time, wind resistance, and most of all shocking the living shit out of yourself with a homemade 3F - 259KV Max Capacitor made of materials used for cooking.
MIT still won't give him an honorary doctorate in intelligent design; his theology lab classes don't meet requirements for transfer credit. Looks like he will have to jump on the m-train.

Mod parent informative, lmgtfy is hilariously useful.
Pants aside [literally], don't we get enough Viagra advertisements as it is?
Wrong. Google is searching for the hidden Gundams, and the Japanese will litigate the hell out of this until Street View is gone.
Nope. Not until the worm's heuristics can penetrate my blag.

maybe now he can ask god for a full explanation of the navier-stokes equations. Can you twitt us the answer, Rich?
