Originally frozen. After the cryro-breakout, there was the dinner party. Walt still comes back on Eisner from time to time, but a little Pepto-Bismol fixes that.
Has anyone else wondered what will happen when it becomes truly simple for EVERYONE to do professional-quality desktop publishing? I mean, what will it be like when absolutely everyone can express on paper what they want as they want it, even without technical skills? Using whatever font they want, different point sizes, 300 DPI, right-justification, kerning, possibly even with pictures included with the text?

It would be a damned shame if one of the Big Questions was never answered because someone got sloppy just once.
And not just for now, for all time. If some other race ever evolved on Earth, "We thought that life of Earth and Mars had a common origin, but it turned out that 35 million years ago some monkey-boys got careless, so we'll never know. That wasn't the only thing they got careless about, good-riddance!"
The writer of that Toronto Star story did say that it was a one-sided story, and that due to deadlines/time zones, he didn't have time to check Ballmer's tales of woe. (He also asks for Linux Slashdotters to chill out a little.)
It's not uncommon to buy (and sink) a competing company. After shifting the customers and assimilating some of the employees, you bury the corpse. If they're "up and coming", it's not too expensive.
If you want a simple way to mess someone up, take a screen shot of the desktop (with a window or two open). Then set it as the desktop background. "Why won't those #$%@ windows close?!"

Heh, Boone didn't really die. They brought him back for a bit before the end.
Originally Walt really was cryogenically frozen, but then there was that terrible day, very much like the Eddie sequence in Rocky Horror Picture Show.
In the end, Scott Bakula wakes up and says "Ziggy, I just had the strangest dream."

Think he'll renew?
Willian Shatner pushes Kelloggs' All-Bran these days. (Okay, pushes, wrong word!) Still, with the aging Trekkie demographic, perhaps not a bad choice.
Note that by 1985, the Delorean was already becoming a "remember when" car.
If you wanted something with that 70's gullwing look, you could get yourself a Bricklin from Canada. Oh wait, it flopped too.
Nothing more dangerous than a grammar nazi who looses his sense of humor. ;)
Yeah, it's far too late to order a few million nano-Bruce Willis clones to save the Earth from all those grain-of-sand impacts. We're doomed!

I've seen the latest version. The aliens always have a distracted look that gives them away.
Who knows, maybe life on Earth is the contamination from another planet.
So far, no one has noticed the big paper ring around Mars that says "Sanitized for Your Protection".
Some places just have no sense of fun.

Ah well, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't need volunteers to improve the documentation. (And no source code is not documentation. :)

I doubt they'd do that. After all, they spent millions to hire Anders from Borland to be their C# architect.

From the description, carnivorous. ;)
Combine Scandinavian and Scotish culture with Lutefiskwisk.
If they used those 14GB paper disks, their sneakernet bandwidth would be nothing to scoff at!
Anyone know how easy it would be to use their API from another language? (Assuming some header translation and an IDE that can make compatable calls.)
