Go to google and search for "laffer curve", back in my AP Economics class in high school it was a curve that relates the income tax rate to income taxes collected. After a certain point your revenue decreases because the tax rate is a disencitive for people working. The same could be said about Windows, at some price point revenue will decrease as people pirate, "switch", or abandon the Windows platform.
For instance, Telstra has said it will consider using the free open-source software Linux, which is gaining popularity.
Where is the line about how Linux is a operating system developed by Linus Torvalds with a loosely based community of hackers located throughout the world?
Having just started a game development project our major goals include cross-platform compatibility (ala SDL / OpenGL), modularity, and open formats.
How popular would Doom and Quake be without these things? Part of the fun of these games is the possiblity of expansion and innovation by peers. For example Capture the Flag was a user mod that was incorporated into later versions of the Quake series.
Now... I didn't read the *entire* article, but I would think that they would check for leaks in places like Congressional offices. God knows we don't want a leaked love letter from a secretary to a Congressman.
I believe al-Quada has a secret lab developing their own pringle can antenna to war-camel-ride the D.C. area.

I'm sure a good slashdotting will really hit their pockets hard.
To come on and say, "in other news today marks the one year anniversary of the September 11th attacks that struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and now here's Katie with tomorrows commute...", would be too contrite.
One day is fine, anything more is a bit much. And remember that not every action is an evil ploy to profit and exploit the tragedy.

I own a gun, and I haven't shot anyone yet, but obviously its only a matter of time.
I go to a relatively small tech school and I would kill for a 44% male population as opposed to the ~70%.
OMG, I think CmdTaco and I are neighbors in Mt. Fugi.
... because if it was any longer you would piss your pants ...

Ah, but when the Pentium 200 was out DEC had a 500 MHz Alpha.
after everyone who knows what they are doing flashes their firmware, 99.9% of routers will remain vulnerable...
Perhaps its because security cameras aren't as pervasive as everyone likes to think they are.

Well I am in college so the real goal is to learn, fun and entertainment are just by-products.

.. including the National Science Foundation and the Office of Naval Research
Yeah, but these guys fund everyone, everyday in the lab at school I hear NSF grant this and ONR budget that.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of gold coins?

As with most things, moderation is the key.

... I wonder if the developers fought over which scripting language to use for those million-dollar manuevers, PERL or Python?
