Well I wouldn't call creating a word processor or a spreadsheet program stealing. Nor is buying up your competetion really stealing. As for original ideas I am unaware of any widespread highly integrated office product suites before Office. Not that I think the integration is always a good thing. Think of all the viruses and worms that spread around due to this integration. Maybe Microsofts most original creation is a petri dish for the growth and spread of virus and worm code.
In any event Microsoft IS and will likely be for quite some time. If they choose to spend billions on research more power to them, if they create something that has any social or commercial value what is wrong with that. Likewise if they just waste billions that would otherwise be spent putting the squeeze on other companies and marketing their stuff to the world it is still at the very least a passive win for the rest of the world. And some lucky geeks get paid to experiment!
It may have come off as a joke, but I was quite serious. In fact organizations such as komsomols or the hitler youth are what I was thinking of when I rtfa.
Personally I would think a thumbprint scanner built into a usb key which when plugged in would then require a passphrase of some sort would be a decent solution.
To an extent the infertility rate is artificially high becuase of the number of women in the last 30 years that have chosen birth control pills and a career over having children at a young and healthy age. Many are later finding that they are unable to have children because they are too old. This kind of infertility is not due to bad genes, rather it is nature shutting off the reproductive cycle because at an advanced age there is likely to be either damage to the existing eggs in a womans body or a lack of proper health to carry a fetus to full term.
something similar to this once upon a time that was done via kiosks in music stores. You could listen to the tracks via headphones, then line em up and it would charge you by the track and spit out a cassette with printed cover and all. I think they had CD as an order only option but am not totally sure. This was as I recall sometime in the late 80s.
I wonder though how much of a difference in perception there is between male and femal shoppers. In my experience I'll see 395.00 as 400.00 whereas my girlfriend will say "look it's only 300.00". Well at least if it's something she wants.
While I have no interest in the many free aol/earthlink/other isp cds I get in the mail, they have never reached the point where my mailbox has been overcome in a single day thus forcing my mail to be bounced. Aol pays postage and production costs for this crap, most spammers pay very little and generally do cause damage and increased costs to their victims.
you instead have an idiot fee. Anyone who has their system owned using a well known and correctable flaw has a higher rate regardless of their choice of OS.

Nor was wordperfect (ask wordstar) nor was lotus1-2-3 (ask visicalc)

Get those kids used to the fact that everything they do will be under a government microscope.
Will kids that grow up in a situation like this mind at all that it doesnt really end when they leave HS for the 'real world'?

Also there is RAdmin from www.famatech.com
that poloticians are going to do anything that harms their ability to ask for money?
Such a rich fantasy life!
Personally I think whoever it was that first decided to use html in email should be shot, hanged and then shot again.
So. Thats easy enough to fix.

you know you want a Canyonero of your own.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey
The Federal Highway comission has ruled the
Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
Canyonero!
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)
She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!
Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)
Drive Canyonero!
Woah Canyonero!
Woah!

Ok Cartman.
It's pretty cool how they develop the kernel using nothing but the kernel itself, and none of the gnu tools.
Didn't he mean a GNU/Linux developers?

pigeon business. Anyone worth their salt knows that swallows are much better at carrying around heavy objects.
Make sure they are the African variety though.
but it looks to me that SCO is asserting that they own unix AND anything that even remotely resembles it.
why not start a drive to donate all of these 13.00 checks to those college students who had their life savings taken from them by the RIAA.
Wouldnt that be: 'all your kernel are belong to SCO'?

I bought an ML-1430 and have never been happier with a printer. Crushing my lexmark inkjet gave me a great burst of satisfaction.

of the timeline for the trashcan in MacOS, but AmigaOS had a trashcan from abotu 84 or 85 on through to now.
Yes, and I'm not going to patch mine so there. Go ahead crack me, my ip address by the way is 127.0.0.1.
