Actually, anyone who wants to can write a free implementation of MurdererFS for Windows, if they want do. The Windows FS plugin API is well-documented, and the resulting file systems can be quite fast.
Alternatively, his friends could have gone to work for Google in the truly civilized parts of the world: in either Kirkland or Seattle, or in Pittsburgh, or in Boulder, or in any of thirty or so cities around the world.
None of which would stand up for a second in a court of law.
For istance, the fact that minor children cannot enter into contracts merely means that you, as their guardian, can be held liable for their failure to perform, or that they are guilty of fraud. In the case at hand, you'd be guilty of constructive misrepresentation as well, and probably conspiracy to defraud -- and, guess what, you'd still be bound by the agreement. So you'd get the super whammy -- copyright infringement, any special damages defined by the license, and jail time to boot.
Well, no. But that won't be because the ABI is so crufty and uselessly general -- oh, no -- but rather because the evil software companies have made the software drivers for the unique (and essential) laser retargetters closed source, and the Foolish Stallman Fans will still be busy reverse engineering the retargetters for the pre-prototype versions that were released five years earlier.
When connected to Exchange (which does support multiple calendars as per the NLS standard), Outlook supports multiple calendars. I don't know enough about Notes to speak to it, but I'd be stunned if it didn't.
Do the Japanese use other calenders for businesses purposes?
Yes, of course. Part of a business contact's information is the date (incl. the calendar) upon which to send a birthday card.
Realize that a given day might be someone's birthday (celebrated on the religious calendar)
Where does that happen? I guess, by a process of elminiation, that its most likely to be somewhere in the Middle East or East Asia
Yes, exactly -- although, as an American with contacts overseas, I also track birthdays on the calendars my contacts prefer. It's just ordinary politeness.
Yes -- Japan uses several different calendars. (Gregorian year, Year of the Emperor, etc.) Ditto China (both lunar/solar calendar and Gregorian.) Israel, Muslim nations (religious calendars overlaid with Gregorian calendar)...
etc.
Realize that a given day might be someone's birthday (celebrated on the religious calendar), and someone else's anniversary (celebrated on the secular calendar), but only this year. Next year, they will not collide.
I'm not in IT (anymore) so I didn't know that Notes/Exchange support IMAP and POP, so the claim of no Notes/Exchange support is a bit of a red herring. At the very least, Gartner should be embarrassed for being professionals in the field and forgetting about that.
No -- Gartner nailed it. iPhone supports POP and IMAP, which are adequate for simple email, but totally inadequate for calendaring. (And don't blather to me about ical -- when ical can handle recurring appointments in Japan, with multiple different calendars, it'll have stopped being a joke for personal calendaring, to say nothing of enterprise calendaring and/or groupware.)
You know this software you're using right now? It was developed to eliminate the need for secretaries. And you know what? It worked -- the entry level secretary (a clerk-typist) position is a thing of the past.
No. The indexing *service* is off. WDS (now read carefully) DOES NOT USE THE INDEXING SERVICE. It uses a different service, and that service cannot be turned off.
If WDS used the indexing service, you'd be completely correct. that's the problem -- it doesn't.
Um, no. You can't. The indexing service isn't behind WDS, apparently. (Hell if I know why, but that's what Microsoft's own documentation says.)
If I want to install GDS, I want *it* to run at low priority. I don't want it to interfere with my work, just like I don't want WDS to interfere with my work. If Google can't turn WDS off entirely, then GDS will be de facto slower than WDS through no fault of its own. That's the objection to this solution -- it requires that each alternative search provider make a choice between slowing down all the user's work and being artificially slowed down by WDS. Neither choice is acceptable.

Nonsense.
I see the pinwheel many times a day, and that's on a fully tricked out MacBookPro.
Indeed. Why, he (or she) has a five-digit UID that starts with 1 -- what a n00b!
No, Bruce, there's no room for litigation here.
There is room for litigation concerning whether the terms of the GPL are enforceable, at least in California.
I think the grammar is supposed to be wrong. After all, AYBABTO was a-grammatical, too -- that was its charm.
That's a big deal. Even dolphins can only manage to sustain twice this speed underwater, and they're much better swimmers than humans will even be.

Nonsense. The final text of GPLv3 was already available prior to the "release".
Hmm. Let me get this straight. An email dated 29 June 2007 is old? Um...no.
Moron.
No, the eternal Next Big Thing is Duke Nukem Whenever...running on Linux.

Microsoft does not pay less than market. It pays quite a bit better than market.
Your data are out of date.
Oh, look. It's the Sony astroturf troll!
Good to see you again, guy. You do realize that commercial slander is a crime, right?

One word: secretaries.

Nope. The levy work was not done because of the infinite incompetence of the Army Corps of Engineers. Rove's office tried to put out the "environmental lawsuit" story, but it fell apart once it was investigated. (For those of you who think I'm being a bit of a tin-foil hat nutjob, Karl Rove really was put in charge of the reconstruction effort. I'd point through to the original _Times_ article, but it's gone behind the for-pay firewall.)
Sorry -- Blanco was right, and the Feds were wrong here.
Heh. Nope -- the document seems to have been pulled down. Here's a contemporaneous reference to it: http://www.ksla.com/Global/story.asp?S=3771630&nav =0RY4do3n.
