If you want more information, then you'll probably need to contact them. The list is just a basic set of things that should be done, but rarely are. You wouldn't even imagine how many access points don't even have the default password changed.

Intel required that their motherboard manufactures include USB for a long time before Apple's iMac. Their really old LX chipset had the USB on board. It was just that no-one really cared about it until Apple iMac created a market for USB devices.

ICQ uses AIM's protocl already. They both use Oscar as the main protocol and support the older TOC and ICQ protocols for those with older clients.
Actually the Wookies of Endor were supposed to be the ending for ANH, but it was cost prohibitive at the time. So the space battle was used instead. But then again, if Chewbacca is from Endor you must aquit.
Those massive costs are really just the costs of doing business. Think about how many other costs are generated by corporations just doing things. They're all passed on to consumers and for the largers corps {who have the greatest amount of minor issues), costs will be spread out over many, many consumers so the incremental cost to any of them will be very tiny. And who knows the whole procedure could save the corp millions in the future. I think rejecting the idea based on cost is a red herring.
From what I understand USSR entering the Pacific war had more effect on the United States than it did on Japan. The US saw that Japan wouldn't surrender unconditionally and with the USSR in the theatre they'd want Japan split like Germany. Since Japan's demands for the emperor staying in power as a figure head weren't that unreasonable to the US, the US caved and let japan surrender conditionally to the US and the US only before Russia could really get involved. Else we'd have a North Japan and South Japan. Because the war ended when it did we only Korea and Vietnam split and Russia got the Kuril Islands. So it wasn't as bad.
No patches, no add-ons, no expansion packs, not even a real operating system. Making a dent in the console world requires a different philosophy than in the PC world. Once a game is released, it had better be self-contained and done.
And why did MS include a harddrive with the system. Probably just for these things that the PC developers would want to do. I really think that the harddrive is the end of the nice,easy and rarely crashing consoles.
Of course the collarilary to their "wins" would be that they would never be allowed to sell such a device (could never get the DVD licenses for a device with easily removable regioning), they would defeat their copy-protections measures which depends partly on only having those little disks, and people would contiunally break the panel and the easily removable chips pushing or fry the whole system with untrusted third party mod-chips which would push their support costs sky high. Yea great move. Nintendo has better things to do then completely tank the Gamecube. Besides who says the market cannot support three similar systems. None of the companies are bad finically like Sega was and all are determined to stay in the market. It may not of worked in the past but past performance of the market is no indication of future results. Or so says the SEC.
Except "Gamers" tend to buy parts without an operating system and tend to stay away from complete systems with the OS and Microsoft's main revenue stream is from businesses buying the OS not home users. I doubt MS is trying to tank the XBox. Why spend all that money on it just to intentionally tank it.
Engineering and Computer Science fall into this feild as well. Failing to learn the mistakes of others means that people die. We've learned how to build good bridges. It's not something I'd like an engineer to learn as he or she goes.
But the cost of junk mail is fully born by the senders not the receivers. The paper that you don't like costs money to buy and money to print on. The sender pays for postage as well since the post office doesn't deliver for free. This is why there are no laws to stop junk mail. It isn't costing anyone but those who want to send it, spam on the otherhand costs everyone from bandwidth providers, mail server operators, and general users receiving the mail, but getting nothing else since they're box is overload with spam.
In other news most of the glossy inserts that you get aren't really tree paper. They are mainly made out of clay, that's right they're made out of dirt. Going into a landfill won't do a damn thing because that's where they come from. So stop worrying about it.
It's not so much that Ogg wants to be better than mp3 or to replace it- it's just an effort to keep Fraunhofer honest so they don't pull a Unisys-style gif move and start charging users outrageous rates.
Too late. Fraunhofer is already charging huge fees to create, play, and even stream MP3s. Sucks doesn't.
Sun is working to move the Cobalt servers to run Solaris/x86. It's only a matter of time till they drop linux. They'd like them to be little Sun servers so when you out grow them you can move directly to Solaris/SPARC.
Most of the smaller laptops, like the Viao Picturebooks do not have a CD-Rom drive, but they do have one or two USB ports. And the do sort of boot off the floppy drive. The Picturebook's floppy drive connects via USB and it can boot off of it very easily. If the USB gizmo says its a drive, then it'd probably boot off of it as well. I don't really think the Viao could tell the difference. Most Bios's understand some part of USB, because the do have to interact with USB keyboards and mice. Adding a disk drive isn't that uncommon.
If they're aiming for the casual home user they're missing the mark entirelly. They should be aiming for something like Quicken. Double entry is nice, but sucks if you're a home user and don't really care to be that perfect. I don't even want to upgrade past 1.4.x because 1.6.x forces double entry, which I don't want. Is there anything left which is trying to be like quicken?

I don't disagree with the Wookies, only with the film the battle was to originally apear in.

glibc would be hard. The intel compiler doesn't support many of the GCC extensions.
Actually without the anti-trust exception baseball pitchers would probably make a lot more.

Unless the XBox pulls a dreamcast and dies within a year. Then Microsoft is out of the money.
