Err...you do know a difference between Javascript and DOM, don't you? The Javascript engine was about the only thing that *was* carried over from the old codebase.
Perhaps it is innovative (although, IMHO, it's not), but it's still obvious. Seriously, it's the logical conclusion of whole idea of making things as easy to buy as possible. Perhaps they were the first to actually implement it, but that doesn't mean they should get a patent on the whole *concept*.
It's also the default option. Since many people just click "Next" until the screens go away, it's a good default.

In all fairness, I'm in a project that's taking the continuous approach (out of necessety rather than a good reason, though) and it's proving a nightmare. The problem we have is serious feature creep that has left our system in a serious mess because nothing ever gets finished properly.
The fact that the client is completely and utterly retarded doesn't help, either...
Well, what do you know, it turns out 1600x1200 starts at 20-inch. How bizarre, I could have sworn there were 19-inch monitors that did 1600x1200. My bad.
Patents are meant to be on implementations. If you re-implement something differently to the way NVIDIA implemented it, then you have bypassed their patent, in principle.
A friend of mine used to work at Dolby, and there were rumours there that a number of people thought Microsoft were infringing on several patents with WMV. This was a good couple of years ago, too.
If that site is the best my government can come up with, I may have to slap each and every Labour MP with a large trout. I may just do that anyway.
Anyhow, their HOWTO on running Windows XP's automatic updates tells people to use the "custom" option. You know, the one labelled "(Advanced)" i.e. not the one their target audience want. How in the hell are the sort of people who would use that site know what patches to apply and what ones not to? It's like that site was knocked up in an afternoon by a drunken muppet.
Well, setting aside the fact that I can't vote in the US (yet that doesn't stop people like the MPAA thinking I'm bound by their country's laws), claiming that legislators shouldn't be elected again is a bit of a crock when the people who elected them don't seem to give a shit and only care about which side of the gay marriage debate they're on.
If they've got to the point where they've narrowed the suspects down to using their printers to test to see which one wrote the letters, you've got bigger problems.
Besides, anybody dumb enough to leave a paper trail leading right up to their computer is an idiot.
Most people who voted in favour of the PATRIOT Act didn't actually read it. If congressmen are going to be *that* retarded, you have to wonder how you could ever convince them not to vote for a particular law.

When I am woken up in the morning by bloody telemarketers getting what I can only assume is an early start, that royally pisses me off.
Actually, you'd use System.Drawing, which isn't necessarily tied to GDI+.
VB programmers are also easy to come by...

It's entirely possible to spend thousands on something where somebody else could have done it for a couple of hundred.

*sigh* one day they'll get it right, I hope :/

If you do actually mean Megabits/sec, then 19.39Mbs is approximately 2.5MBs, which is nothing by today's standards.

Err...how do you know the native resolution of his monitor? There are plenty of 19-inch LCDs that do 1600x1200.

No, it catches the condition where a variable *may* be null. It can't tell if a variable is going to be null or not.

"somthing nobody else can offer."
Yeah, it's not like I saw that exact service in the working prototype stage two years ago...

What's wrong with "what ifs?" I'd much rather a law got struck down *before* it did serious damage than after.
Well, if a law makes the majority of the population criminals, it makes you wonder...

Some memory sticks don't report those values correctly. In other cases, the BIOS (or equivalent) doesn't set it correctly.
All that means is that piracy will continue to run rampant.
