Because modern computers don't function very well off earth. The 90nm works great on eatth, but without the atmosphere to protect them they malfucntion in a high radiation environment like space. The older stuff is much more hardy then the new stuff once it's in space.
You'd still have the Budwiser problem, in that there are two Budwisers beers, one out of Czech Republic and one out of St. Louis, MO. They both can legally use the name Budwiser (in certian markets) since originally thier markets did not overlap at all. Who would legally get the domain name?
And what about common names like Yellow? Would it go to Yellow Cab? Yellow Pages? Yellow Roadway? All of them at some point used Yellow as their "name".
Trademarks can be used in multiple places for multiple reasons. The sorting out over multiple jursidictions would be a nightmare. It already is just for the trademarks.
No, since IBM had an agreement with Microsoft that allowed them to sell the OS to other customers, if a clone could duplicate the IBM BIOS then it'd be no problem to run the Microsoft OS. It was one of the benefits of the design of DOS from CP/M. Since Apple controlled the OS and the hardware, they didn't have to license it to anyone even if they copied the BIOS.
Get a system to be a domain controller. Lock that DC far away from everything else. Reformat the machines and configure them according to this: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/downloads_winxp.cfm?MenuID =scg10.3.1.1. It'll pretty much prevent any silly things with the keyboards. Also disable the local admin accounts after the machines join the domain and don't give anyone the domain admin password or privilages except those who need it.
This is the only way I've found to keep people from messing up Windows Machines.

To this day, I still claim Lola is a blantant rip off of Al's Yoda.
Sails ships are fairly slow in crossing the Atlantic. Maybe this will be a faster way with propellers. Sails takes months to cross, prop boats take days.
According to LucasFilm the original originals were destroyed in the making of the "Special Editions". The laserdisk master is all that is left, this may be as good as it gets since Lucas doesn't want to release the "incomplete" originals.
Nope. It just serves as prima faca evidence that you are the author. It also allows you to recover court costs and statutory damage on top of lost income. Still can be quite profitable.
And watch Apple's profit go through the floor. Apple is a hardware company. They want to sell you software that locks you into their hardware. They're big margins are all the hardware they sell, the shiny MacBooks and iMacs. They're already losing money on software.
Only if you don't want cell phone coverage or look out side. I work in a building that is EM sheilded using a Faraday cage. It was designed to test new radios so you didn't want outside signals coming in to mess up the test. Needless to say a all-metal no windowless office sucks. You have to go out side to make a cell call and when the AC breaks you're screwed because the place turns into an oven with no windows to open. It's a nice idea, but I doubt most wouldn't like to work in such a place 24-7. I sure don't.
And then the tool that does escape like FxCop makes me wonder what they do have in there that they are hiding. That tool looks silly, but works so well and is so cool it's just plain wrong not to use.
Two words: Theme parks. They stopped making bricks and started to diversify. Lost so much that the 4 LegoLand parks are now majority owned by the Blackstone group because Lego couldn't afford them.
Tell that to HP. Their Project Dynamo showed that in many cases running PA-RISC instructions emulated on on PA-RISC machine improved the performance of the program without changing how it was compiled. The emulated version can start to re-order code, change branching behavoir, etc as needed based on how the program is actually running (things like a JIT does on Java or.NET). So there is a place for Native to Native emulation; even if it seems silly.
Virtual PC only works on PPC based Macs. There is currently no plan to move it to Intel Macs. This just leaves Parallels VM as your only choice for virtualization on the Intel Macs.

There's always the Champ Elysee in the heart of Paris. 8 lanes no less.

No, one theory can cover more than one virus. So the theory can be less, or even much less than a specific implementation in the wild.
Are you sure that's right? Most Windows virus are not theoretical, but exist in fact. Windows should be something closer to 400/114,000.

On appeals a lot of time the party names get flipped since the original suee is bringing an action against the suer.
I do not know if that is the case here though.
One must crawl before they can walk or run.

Thanks to the US Congress the (C) symbol and registering is no longer a requirement. Copyright is automatic.
It'll get you banned by CCP in EVE as well. And CCP will take all the money from the player that bought it.
All of them.

Sadly Windows Me cannot hold a candle to the flop that was Microsoft Bob

It'll be a cart like Mario Kart DS or the New Super Mario brothers. So you'll have to buy.

But probably not a huge number paying to upgrade to Vista.
