I would say this would be the first thing I would fix. A Link to the Past had amazing potential for expanding upon the story line, but rather than doing that they just made a new game from scratch. How about a Zelda trilogy that actually has a cohesive storyline rather than "oh look this guy's Link too!" I would love to see a series of Zelda games covering the Link to the Past story including a prequel which includes the corruption of the dark world, a game leading up to Ganon's rise in the light world and the breaking of the seal, a game leading up to Link defeating Ganon and then...
HYRULEONLINEMMORPG GO!
Yeah... the X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter would probably be a better idea.
From the wiki article you linked:
"Typical exemptions include purchases by charitable non-profit organizations or governmental agencies, purchases for resale in commerce, and purchases via "casual sales" by individuals not in the ordinary course of business."
Does this mean for personal purchases the use tax does not apply, or am I misinterpreting this?
If you sign a contract waiving your rights it absolutely can be upheld in court, and your naivety will not save you. Automatic waiver by your actions is a different story.
The common assumptions seem to include:
1. This system will be aimed at personal users.
2. The system will run on a major mobile network hosted by the service provider or MS.
3. A subscription model will be used.
The article does point us this way, but I think since the article all but admits it's extremely speculative, we could assume the following could just as easily be the case (and would be much more practical):
1. The system will be aimed at corporate use on a private network, but with VPN access.
2. A particular instance of the system will be hosted on a private server.
3. The system will be sold as an IT managed server OS with client licensing for individual devices.
Essentially, a move by MS to a redefined and re-purposed mainframe/terminal model.
Aren't these the guys who talked about how a 3.0 would be more trouble than improvement an was unnecessary (versus just continuing to work with the well established and stable 2.x). Their points were proven by KDE4's release, but now... here they go!
Leave it to the bandwagon.
If you fix it, they'll find a new way to hack it.
That's the way it always has been, and is the way it always will be.
I long for the slashdot that stops wasting our time telling us about every little thing that someone finds wrong with an MS product.
Even if only $1,064 people ordered this CD Box Set from Amazon, Amazon is still losing out of $500,000 by selling 1,064 copies at a $470 discount. This is a no brainer. Keeping the orders wouldn't be good business no matter how you look at it.
It may not be a great place for your sensitive data, or for a single copy of data - but it might be a great place for every undergraduate college student in the world to back up their homework. That way, when limewire unleashes its viruses they don't have to beg for mercy from their die hard instructors.
Why should more people be worried about "big brother" watching them? For business purposes I can see how OTR could be very useful, but for personal use - no thanks. Please don't use it. I want the government watching you just in case you're one of the bad guys. I'll gladly give up a bit of my own privacy to make sure they don't have any.

And how many more lives must this Extension claim before we stop ignoring the "a new add-on was installed" message when we start our Firefoxen?
Forget civic-minded, innovative, and useful. This sounds like a great opportunity for a new Sim City, now with multiplayer!
If you're deeply concerned over $60.00 and you have time to finish a game in 2-3 days, I'd recommend getting a job.

Now with all of the features of Firefox, without the bother of all the security.

Apparently not SEGA.

Tabbed browsing came from iBrowse, which is not open source. Mosaic was not open source. The IP stack was definitely not open source.

How stuck up you all are. QQ some more. Thank you for approving this. It made my day.

I see this as a way to cover up my corporate scandal while I get out of the country.
So does this mean from now I'll be seeing Obama stickers on trash cans, dumpsters, and bathroom stalls?

Of course, because they weren't already having trouble figuring out what to do when IE7 announced there was a security certificate error!

These %s sound made up to me.
