It's due to a dripping wet sack of corporate ignorance. Nothing else.
Someone will get yelled at and nothing will come of this, unfortunately. Greasy corporate goons will continue to tailgate people on the highways in their wasteful SUVs. Poor hackers will take the subway.
Personally, I don't believe anyone has the right to bash Theo, especially when they haven't met him; and I believe that this kind of personal slander has no place in the 'open' world, and is simply immature.
And that's exactly how a trainer will tell you how to become a better sprinter.
How else would you become a better sprinter? Eating more protein?
Teach yourself to run faster, you will become a faster runner.
Teach yourself not to code stupid mistakes, you will become a better programmer.

Yes, these football robots are all good and fine, but what I want to see are some ice hockey robots able to duke it out like the goons they should be. Besides, a robot able to skate would be quite a challenge to engineer, methinks...
I really don't think MS Marketing exaggerated that much; if anything they probably underestimated by a huge amount.
The reasons? I can only speculate that by doing this Microsoft continues their vague and ambiguous (albeit futile) attempt to rule the world by producing 'crazy old man stories' to confuse the people that read Slashdot. But seriously, 70,000 applications in the entire history of computing? Yeah, this is a little too typical of big brother.
Self-sufficiency tends to fall apart with extended periods of megalomania...

Everyone the RIAA wants to exploit runs Windows.
It wouldn't suprise me if MICROS~1 will leave the key in the door for the RIAA, so to speak.
I guess I don't have anything to worry about; unless the RIAA sends some mad irc juariors that can root my OpenBSD 'wall.
Hey Microsoft Coward: could v : expresses possibility.

How else would you become a better sprinter? By running slower?
How else would you produce better code? By never coding?
Practice.
