Google Checkout probably. They can get rid of the fees since they own it. You can deposit a bunch of money into it and then google can withdraw for every video you watch. You still have access to all the money in the account though and you can spend it on whatever you want.
ODF isn't a "feature". It is the Freedom part of OpenOffice. If MS gives me that, then I will use their product when I am on Windows, and I will use the now compatible open source office suites on Linux and Mac OS.
Probably because they didn't want to lose out to the XPS format from MS. The XPS viewer is installed by default in Windows 7, making it more practical to use than having to download Adobes reader and the PDF plugin for Office.
Where do people get the idea that robots need oil?
Robots will be powered by electric motors, meaning they won't need lubricants, at least not in the same way that cars do. Depending on what you build them out of, they might need some form of lubrication in the joints, but thats just a few sprays of WD40 on the assembly line.
They won't be guzzling quarts of Mobil 1 like they do in cartoons.
Richard Rich Sr.: [on Prof. Keenbean's Smellmaster 9000] Glasses, electronic aids and surgery help us see and hear better. Isn't it time we had something to help us SMELL better?

After reading the article I linked to, it seems that it is actually the reprogramming genes found in the virus that are bad for you, not the possibility of infection from the virus itself. Apparently the genes result in cancers.
Yes, you can reprogram adult stem cells to have the same properties as embryonic stem cells. They actually have the advantage of being patient-specific, meaning they are less likely to be rejected during a treatment.
The problem with them however is that usually a virus is required to do the reprogramming, which means being treated with the stem cells makes you sick. Trying to get rid of the virus causes the stem cells to revert to their original state. I think scientists have found a way around this though, as of last month I guess: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090305121649.htm
Yes, it is good that these countries have governments generally more stable and more populist than those of the Middle East and Africa.
The model from Saudi Arabia is generally to be resistant enough to keep foreigners groveling at your feet, but not so closed as to reduce demand or invite an invasion(see: Iraq).
The company will never admit guilt.
You can either bleed them dry and let them remain innocent, or you can sue them and PROVE that they are guilty. They will never, under any circumstances, admit guilt in a settlement case.
Now that you have pointed this out, they will go into the next stage of excuses for their excessive profits.
Something along the lines of "Your Grandmas retirement is invested at GlaksoSmithKline. Do you want your Grandma to die in the streets of starvation? Well that's exactly what will happen if we don't charge you $29.99 for a tube of fungal cream."
I think the problem is usually that they overestimate the amount of enthusiasm that there is for the product, and figure they can move the price up around the launch date. Maybe they aren't doing it to rip people off, it could just be that they figure cutting costs and streamlining their production isn't important since people will pay whatever they charge.
Asus charging $400 for the eee when they initially announced it at $200 though I think is just plain them ripping people off after building up a huge amount of hype. People who waited could get much better netbooks than the original eee in the promised $200-$300 price range once there was some competition around. Asus missed the boat I think, now that they have been surpassed by acer in netbook sales. Dell and HP are probably not far behind either, if at all.
quoting is not allowed for the papers that I turn in, so I am assuming that using direct quotes triggers a false positive. Paraphrasing is fine, it is up to your professor to make sure that the content that you paraphrased is properly cited. I think turnitin simply checks for identical phrases.
I don't know much of anything about Sudan, but I bet that playing with your phone while talking to someone is not going to be considered proper etiquette.

Oops. Can I mod my own post redundant?
Most netbooks are available without cameras as a cheaper option.
Dell Mini 9 for one, and many many more.

Cures 99.9%* of Cancers!

"What a lovely rose!"
"Thanks, I grew it myself..."
"How wonderful!"
"... in my pubes."

Because it is shiny, and how can something shiny possibly be bad?
You don't need a 9v battery, just 4 1.2v rechargeable AAs. Duct tape the two together and chuck it through an RIAA window hoping it picks up a signal.
I'll give you $1.00001. Shelster Dude it is then...
They threatened Rapidshare with Room 101.

I wasn't aware that Bin Laden was Al Gores running mate.
The Swedes have a lot of extra bandwidth now that they aren't pirating all day long.
I have just two words for people who ask me if I regret voting for Obama: Sarah Palin.
I was introduced to Sumatra from portable apps and now use it instead of FoxIt. It does have a few issues here and there, but it seems to work better.
