Monopolies are not illegal (though they are frowned upon) abuse of monopolies is illegal they could buy it assuming that the federal trade commission approved it, they could own the PC market as long as they kept the price point low they would still make more money than they are now as long as they realize getting to greedy would bring to DOJ and FTC down on their as as well as push PC manufactures to look to ARM MIPS and PowerPC again.
So they won't be able to make 32 bit x86. But they own the 64 bit x86_64 architecture. If Intel wants to keep making x86_64 chips they will cross license with whoever buys AMD. Otherwise they would have to fall back on Itanium and no one wants that. Not consumers not, Intel, not Microsoft, not Apple, and most Definitely not Oracle because they would contractually be forced to create Itanium code indefinitely further weakening their Spark architecture. I would not be surprised to see Oracle buy AMD just to keep that from happening.
you could write a script to compare the histories inside of the files, but if your students are caluding together to cheat then your screwed because then someone is probably smart and you cant stop a smart person from cheating without super draconian requirments
accept a "study group" could together show each other their work and then grade eachother higher resulting in a higher grade and others lower resulting in a higher grade for themselves
a cryptographic watermaking of the image or visual one that they could see? they could get around the crytographic one watermarking by changing the resolution slightly and converting the image from one format to another and back
you may not be using arithmetic but your are using logic, example: IF row 1 excluding cell (1,3) contains 7 then cell (1,3) !=7 lots of logic there, I use AND and OR when I work them out but maybe I'm weird that way
The other option is he is being sent simicovertly into another corporation Microsoft wants, where he will be CEO (i mean undertaker) after which he will deliver it to Microsoft at a fraction its former worth. Hmm wonder if RIM is in the market for a experienced CEO to help their burning platform at sea?...
As long as it is isolated from the Internet and you scan every data storage device (usb thumb drives, external harddrives ect) on a supported windows for viruses before you hook it up to the windows xp box you will be fine as long as you have hard-drive back ups in case of disaster. Hell we got rid of a windows 3.11 box running automation software less then 5 years ago at my work, and that was because of hardware failure (the mother board died due iirc to a problem with the power supply) it is now running on a old xp box they had laying around. Just because it is no longer supported does not mean you have to upgrade it just means you have to be careful.
Hey you car has a flat tire you are going to go invent a new wheel.
{sarcasm} yes we should have to rewrite every program (from scratch) we ever encounter a problem with instead of looking for another solution because we all have unlimited time and no other things that need done{/sarcasim}
now what we need to do is compile virtualbox with it so that we can run any pc operating system in the browser even several of them at a time. this could be a great way to bench mark you browser and its js engine of course it would be hell of a slow but a fun project to attempt
you mean like the Halo 2 for vista that the only reason it won't run of xp is because it runs a operating system check that can be fixed with a simple hack.
Some of the TI graphing calculators can share answers anyway using an the built in IR port or bluetooth that some of the newer TI's have already anyway. Most teachers I have had don't care what model of calculator you use as long as it is a TI. Math classes may as well be graded by who has the most expensive TI branded calculator. For one of the standardized tests I was forced to take they only allowed TI branded calculators and would not let me use my cheap casio scientific calculator because use of all other brands of calculators were considered to be "cheating". So they supplied me with a four function TI branded calculator to do the timed test on. Meanwhile some of my classmates did have the top of the line TI graphing calculators with all of the equations preprogrammed in. Hell several of my text books have contained TI-86 specific instructions throughout. TI own the academic calculator world and won't let that go that is the real reason that they don't allow phones
While true you cant change the altitude significantly you can simply move farms north, you could also take up geneticly altering the plants to withestand harsher climets that can be done either through selective breeding for hardier plants (menedelion genetics) or do it in a lab. If you go that route we may actually increase the yeild coffee is mankind's favorite leagle drug chances of it going exstinct with a market as lucerative and addicted as coffee is virtually nil worst case scenario it is grown in climet controlled green houses
So, because things will change drastically in 12 thousand years, it doesn't matter what happens in the next 100? That's like saying "What's the big deal with Russian Roulette? Everybody dies eventually."
Even allowing for inflation, coffee prices have been going up pretty much continuously since I started drinking it, which was around 1971. So much for getting cheaper. Actually, all crops are getting more expensive.
Replicators? You think Captain Picard is going to come and fix everything?
Which reminds me: People always talk about how predictions of natural resource exhaustion and ecological disaster turned out to be overblown. They never talk about the optimistic predictions that were equally overblown. Wasn't Discovery supposed to be arriving at Jupiter right about now? Where's my personal aircar? Why do people still get sick? If you think "progress" is something you can count on to solve your problems, you need to get out more.
To be perfectly fair though the price of everything has been going up (exsept computers the have been going down) that is called inflation.
I like my Toshiba laptop I am using it to write this actually, as for their preloaded stuff that others have complained about i nuked most of that a week after getting it. the only problem I had with it so far other than heating up under intensive workloads (running a vm while transcoding video on the host) which is true of most ever laptop i have seen, is that a couple of screws were on to tight and striped, have never had problems with driver updates for it but then again i run Linux on it most of the time. so far i have dropped accidentally a couple of times and everything still works. No complaints here.
that is still a pc port though not a phone or tablet version. the portable one you linked to is meant to be installed on a USB drive and moved between PC's. So portable but not mobile.
Will this be something you host or that they host. I would like it if I could host a open office cloud server on my own metal. If it is simply hosted on their server farm I may as well use google docs or desktop based open/libre office(.org). Also will it feature plug-ins? A cryptography plug-in that makes use of client side double public key encryption with collaborative editing would be great. For that matter will it have collaborative editing, or a git like document versioning for multiple editors? If so will it allow collaborative work between the cloud version a desktop version? This could be very useful or just something else I never use.

what was that season 01 of the new Dr Who series? good recall.

I am and no fear was created.
maybe you could update your troll bait since he lost the election.
of those vulnerabilities how many were patched? and how many where exploited? please show the stats for that side by side for windows and linux
