Won't work. In order to have standing to file a suit you have to have been significantly harmed by the person/entity you're suing. Otherwise the opposition will just write a demurrer-- the legal equivalent of "so what?" because you don't have a claim worth fighting over.
Higher version number means it's a newer version, plus it also indicates the month and year of release. Thus, Dapper Drake 6.06 was released in June of 2006, Edgy Eft 6.10 is October 2006, Feisty Fawn 7.04 is April '07, etc.
Just think of the damages if they prosecuted one of those little flea-market stands with all the pirated DVDs. They could REALLY clean up if they busted one of those guys!
No it didn't. If Republican support had really turned against Bush, then we would have seen the Republicans put their money where there mouth is on things like the war, or warrantless wiretapping, or any number of other things that they've been talking tough about but not doing anything about.
The Democrats also have a very slim majority, not enough to override a Bush veto or a Republican filibuster. Unless Republican support somehow starts turning against Bush, you aren't going to see much happening.

Have you ever actually RIDDEN the SF Muni? Even with all the hills in San Francisco, riding a bike is faster than taking the MUNI, even if it takes a little craziness to ride in all that traffic.
People who reject evolutionary theory are either ignorant of that theory (in which case, they shouldn't comment on it at all) or have a serious issue with reality.
Or they publically reject it to pander to a large, vocal, and idiotic minority.
The point of web advertising isn't to get you to buy something. Because maybe one in a thousand people that sees the ad will actually buy it. The point is to make you aware that said product exists, so that in the future, if you need $WIDGET, you already know that $COMPANY makes one.
"OK, done. Subtract $20 from the listed price. That is the difference between a stock machine with Windows and one without after we have to manually open the carton and remove the CD and blank the drive. Order 50 and we will talk about saving ya some more."
The trouble is that that theory is wrong. The OEMs actually make money by installing Windows, because the cost of Windows is far exceeded by the money software manufacturers pay them to install craplets.
No it isn't that Vista is god-awful bad, nor is it XP's "popularity." Vista's definitely an improvement over XP, if you have the hardware to run it. But it isn't enough of an improvement to make me run out and buy it right this instant. Not like, say, Win 95, where people were lining up at midnight to buy it.
If the vast majority of users can't tell the difference between a 3 megabyte 128 AAC file and a 15 megabyte FLAC file, why should the music industry spend the extra money on the bandwidth to provide it?
In software engineering, a compatibility layer allows binaries for an emulated system to run on a host system. This translates system calls for the emulated system into system calls for the host system. With some libraries for the emulated system, this will often be sufficient to run binaries for the host system.
Richard Stallman took lots of things that were already free software (X11, for instance) and integrated them into GNU. Does that mean that GNU should call itself GNU/X11? That's what his logic implies.
Why didnt they drop the price uniformly across the board? With a price drop of $50 the Core version would have been priced directly against the Wii, which I think would have made sense for Microsoft at least from a psychological and marketing standpoint.
Microsoft just needs to make the Xbox competitive with the Wii in terms of price. Microsoft's console strategy at the moment isn't to knock out the Wii-- it's to take out the PS3. They seem to be doing a decent job of it, since they've outsold Sony by 2:1 so far.
Making predictions about the future is ugly. Everyone expects current trends to continue to their logical conclusions, and that's why most predictions go wrong. Look at 2001: A Space Odyssey, if you want a great example. In that movie, there are colonies on the moon and Man can send a spaceship to Jupiter, but computers are still essentially extensions of 1960s mainframe technology rather than being the ubiquitous tools they are today.

Forgive me for the n00bish comment, but what's so bad about using an x86-32 version of Flash instead of x86-64?

I knew Sony was evil ever since the rootkit fiasco, but wasn't aware they had PUBLICLY started worshipping Satan...

Mod parent up! All the "don't recalls" mean either he's dumb or he's lying, and there should be no place for dumb or mendacious officials.

While you're at it, you can fund the development of Duke Nukem Forever, too!

"Oz." Not "Lord of the Rings."

If you had $4.2 million a year to find floppy drives and Betamax players, you wouldn't have any trouble at all.
A computer is a tool to get work done, and x86 does the job for what needs to be done. It isn't the best, but who cares?

Crossover Office isn't virtualization. Crossover Office is a compatibility layer.
