If I made a product and Europe told me I HAD to include other people's 3rd party software in my software product, I'd tell them where to shove their 3rd part code.
And you would lose a market as big as the US. And you would go bankrupt. And you would become homeless. And you would freeze to death in the winter.
From the machine you already have, before you install Windows 7 on it? From another machine? From a disc included with a computer magazine?...
Lots of options.
(And no, grandma won't have to deal with it, because she won't buy retail Windows anyway. She will get Windows 7 preinstalled on her new machine with a browser preinstalled by the OEM (along with lots of other crapware.)
I know what they are called in English. I have no idea what they are called in the english Firefox version, because I have a hungarian one installed. It could be Configuration/Secret stuff or something, i don't know.
CFLs have electronic ballasts and their light vibrates several thousand times a second. Tube fluorescents with regular external ballasts (choke coil on a big piece of metal) vibrate at mains frequency, making it more disturbing. Electronic ballasts exist for these lights too. (Additionally they are more efficient and the tube lasts longer.) Warm white tubes are also available.
(Regular incandescents flicker too, but the filament doesn't have enough time to cool to make it noticeable.)

Can we have some kind of Godwin's law for global warming?
Every time somebody mentions breathing in a thread about global warming they demonstrate that they fail to understand how the carbon cycle works, therefore they lose the argument.
Campbell, CA October 29, 2008 -- After decades of confusion and inconsistencies, the Brazilian government certification body, INMETRO (National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality) has established a firm country-wide standard for power cord plug and receptacle specifications called NBR 14136.
This standard, based on the IEC 60906-1 International specification, is now the only acceptable power cord plug and receptacle standard for export to Brazil. This has a direct impact on manufacturers of products because âoeall products shipped to Brazil with a power cord must have that cord conform to the new standard and be formally INMETRO certifiedâ, says Ivo Landre, President of Signal and Power Delivery Systems.
Fly by wire only means that the control signals are transmitted electronically to the control surfaces. Not really different from hydraulic controls "fly by fluid" or whatever. Autopilots have nothing to do with the mode of moving parts of the plane.

Short: Play by the rules or GTFO.
Legally?

1. Geo-location only works if you explicitly enable it.
2. You can change how the address bar works in Settings/Privacy (or whatever it is called in the english version).
I tell them that "they can't, but they can use Firefox instead".
You can switch back by uninstalling it, as detailed here.
No, he can NOT!
They _WILL_ HAVE to use Firefox.
Understood?
Vacuum it up like a regular bulb?
Let me guess, you also have a fallout shelter in case a thermometer breaks.

Paying for bottled water is popular without question in areas where people already pay for perfectly safe drinking water.
Duh, It's Got Electrolytes!
MS already has an AV for business, Forefront Security.
BTW, how do you fix the problem that anything a user runs has access to all the files the user has access to?
Having all your documents encrypted and a pop-up window telling you to send $1000 to Boris in Russia for the password sounds like fun.
If only there was a way to blacklist known bad programs and detect them... Oh, wait, that's what an AV does!
Side-Note: Flash blocks every key, but people don't seem to complain about that? :P
In Soviet Russia people block Flash!
Wait... that doesn't sound right...

Don't buy movies?
I guess the games could figure it out trough Bnet.
I mean if players A, B and C are connecting from the same IP, the games could search on LAN for each other.
Nah.
Everybody will be in coma because Slashdot's crappy Neuro-CSS7 will overload our brains.
T-bone steak is bovine!
Except Brazil.

mOD PARENT UP!
Yeah. Except rockets don't have pilots on board, or manual override switches.
Fly by wire only means that the control signals are transmitted electronically to the control surfaces.

Autopilots have nothing to do with the mode of moving parts of the plane.
Probably a pilot couldn't do it on his own either.
The Hudson river plane was an Airbus. The computers probably helped the pilot with the landing.

You can't guarantee that a seal will be maintained during a collision.
Black boxes?
What if the linked site replaces the link target with something "objectionable"?
You need to constantly check and recheck everything that is not created/uploaded by you!
Conclusion: American companies are used to lax US law.
