I am surprised no-one posted a link to Microsoft's Popfly project - here's the page that has a screenshot of Popfly add-in, that is being developed by Microsoft, and it is installed in Visual Studio Express edition!!
I think this alone should get them laughed out of court...
I think it will. However, to keep up with Microsoft traditions, the function will be called something along the lines HRESULT FormatMessageEx(ROBOT_ACTION_THROW_CHAIR, lptrBufChair, lptrBuffPhraseToYell)
If you are using Tapestry, depending on Tapestry's version it either has AJAX functionality built-in (v4.1) or available through add-on components (e.g. Tacos)
Zombie network would truly be a nightmare -- imagine thousands of Libyan children cranking the laptop handles to generate the power for the DDOS attack.
Your post made me consider the following: how would we all react if US government decided to censor all search. If companies were to comply with that, would we call them evil?
I agree with others that installing Linx is as easy as installing Windows, but how about changing components in the already installed system?
A friend of mine decided to test the memory and ended up fryin my motherboard. OK, no big deal I said and got another one (Abit AN7), so reasonably main-stream and supported.
Well, I receive it, replace old one and try to start Windows XP Pro - no luck. The fscking system goes directly in to BSOD and reboots immediately. Tried booting Safe Mode, Safe with networking support and everything else in the menu - no luck. The only thing that sort-of pointed the correct direction was the menu option 'do not reboot after BSOD'. The BSOD text went something like this: 'oops, not sure if I can read your NTFS drive, I might fsck it up, so I'll just BSOD'.
After some Google hunting it became obvious that the XP IDE drivers (stock, I might add) 'hardcoded' old motherboards' configuration somewhere and just plain refused to work with the new one. The fix was to 'repair' system.
Now, one thinks - how hard can that be? Well, it's fscked up, that's for sure. If you think "well, just take boot CD and select 'repair'...", then no, it's not the answer.
You do the following: 1. put the boot CD 2. select install 3. wait... 4. when asked where to install, choose your XP Pro partition 5. Only then Windows will prompt 'oh, by the way, there's XP Pro already installed there, what do you want to do?' and give you the repair option... 6. Wait and wait and wait.... 7. 2 reboots later you have your XP 8. begin your install driver-reboot cycle for sound, video, IDE drivers...
Mandrake Linux just booted, notified me that the configuration has been changed beyond recognition and reconfigured everything (sound, video, network, USB). OK, so I had to reboot once for all the changes to take effect (I probably could have logged-off, but what the heck). 10 minutes later I had my Mandrake up and running with the new motherboard...
Oh, and BTW, I do have Palm and 8-in-1 USB card reader and they all work just fine...
If the waranty is the only issue they would be able to solve this by raising the cost of the device. I'm sure a lot of us would pay extra premium to get a cool miniature devices.
I guess the part of the problem is the acceptance of the product: for some reason the mindset in the US is one tool for one job (hence a lot of one-function appliances), whereas for example in Europe or Japan people favor multi-function appliances.

I believe he did find how to Hug Bossom.
No, they have actually included an undocumented OOXML attribute crashLikeWord97

And the code name for the Windows Live will be Lindows!!!

Yes, but can you imagine a beowulf cluster of underpants???

But the real question is: does the interview pass SpamAssassin's filters?
How appropriate. I clicked on a link and the ad by the article displays monkey in a suit...
And hey, you can probably even restore it... But that's what you want, right? Fast backup and slow restore process... with hex tools on /dev/hda

As far as I remember most of the older MS products would accept any key where key mod 7 == 0. So a code comprising of seven ones will do ;)
1. Write software
2. Anonymously post great reviews about themselves
3. PROFIT!
