You do realise that 8 megapixels is the maximum amount of pixels?
I personally do not have any need for 8 megapixel images. I have my 5 megapixel camera set to take images at 3 megapixels. I don't need all of those extra pixels and the file sizes are much smaller.
Quite frankly, the questions of whether global warming exists, and whether is is man made are irrelevant. What we do know is that we as a race are polluting the planet, and upsetting the natural 'carbon cycle' by emitting vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Surely it is our responsibility to clean up after ourselves?
The idea about microsoft bundling a CD is a good one, however I don't think that it would be nesessary for them include applications from other providers on this CD. The whole point is that these components are not installed by default as part of the operating system. It they came on an optional extra CD it should be okay. Customers would be able to have a Windows operating system without the bloat of IE, WMP etc, yet would still be able to optionally install them off a supplied CD. This solution would allow OEMs and geeks to customise their OS without IE, WMP and the like.
Then this decrease in demand will be blamed upon priacy, probably resulting in a blanket tax on internet connections, or blank media to make up for lost revenues.
It will if they don't come out with something new & interesting soon. Even the big titles lately have just been more of the same with, maybe, some better graphics. That doesn't cut it -- at least for me.
Please explain how the situation is different with consoles.
This is probably just a con so that his program can get onto the front page of Slashdot.
Another way of putting it is:
1. Create program and release under GPL
2. Attempt to revoke license
3. Get onto front page of Slashdot
4. Slashdot users will spread program
5. ???
6. Profit!!!
What's the point in having a universe if we can't observe it?
Wouldn't we have to observe the universe to know what would happen if we didn't observe it?

$530 US is about the standard price for unlocked smartphones worldwide. It's about the same price as an unlocked iPhone.

The assigned seats are generally only for when the theater is full, and you can make a claim for your assigned seats.
Otherwise nobody sticks to the plan.

How are they going to connect to the internet for worms to eat their PC's if it costs $1100/month and they earn only ~$30?
Salt's the staple for most western diets anyway.
99% of music listeners want to listen to the song on their PC or iPod.
99% of game purchasers care that it will function on their PC for the next 6 months at a maximum.
I think you confused maximum and minimum.

I'm still waiting for XP SP3
Another country to add to my list of places not to visit...
I bet that the prices for the songs won't be lowered as a result...
Someone wake me up when XP SP3 is released...

Sumatra PDF is better IMO. Plus it's Open Source. http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/
