...for retailers to receive software about 1 week before release with an embargo date. This includes Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. Many times individual stores accidentally place the software on the shelves before the embargo date passes. Not a major story.
I am certain that the writer of the article was confusing Apple support of pre-release versions of Tiger with Release versions Mac OS that's sold before the release date. I'm sure that Apple will support any Tiger that was sold in a shrink-wrapped box (perhaps not til after the release date).
The print head is built in to the ink cartridges on HP printers. There is literally nothing between the cartridge and the paper. So you can't rationalize epiry dates on ink cartridges by saying it's to protect the print head.
We are to believe that this guy is savvy enough to spoof his email headers so that his email address can't be traced, but not smart enough to turn off receipt verification and HTML rendering in his email program.
You have to realize that we are getting our information about this incident from a NEWSPAPER, which the very least reliable source for technical topics. Remember this clueless newspaper article?
I'd say we know little about what actually happened here.
... how much a C4 charge and detonator will add to the cost of each computer sold. Will they still have internet access on airplanes? Be careful what you download while flying!
...computers will not be made - they will be born. And when they reach the age of servitude, we will speak to them through a microphone something like, "I want a program that will do payroll and print paychecks and uh like that", and the computer will respond through its loudspeaker,"Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Here".
1) This is not the sort of software that Microsoft is good at. Even though they retained a lot of the engineers and designers from Connectix, Connectix has probably kept a lot of its embedded and processor-level design personnel. It probably won't be maintained as well as it has been.
2) A real advantage of Virtual PC was that it did a lot more than just run Windoze. It could run any of the alternative operating systems or even run them all simultaneously. You can bet it will lose this functionality.
Any Symantec or Microsoft software has a manufacturer's guarantee. She can return to either manufacturer for a refund. I returned a Symantec product once and got a refund -- and I didn't even need to return the software. They just told me to destroy it.

I think we should search the digits of pi for messages left to us by the Creators of the universe.
Praise Sagan!

You're right. It it pretty much an updated Soyuz. And where have you seen a building like this?
The trailers of mass destruction are not bio weapons producers. They were for production of hydrogen for balloons.
Really, you should get "well-informed" from something else than Fox Propaganda.
Before the shuttle program, as I recall, they always landed outside the US.
