he was there at the birth of the PC market, his DOS was the first one for the first microcomputer
Rubbish. When IBM started developing the IBM PC, there were oodles of microcomputers around. These could be classified into two major sets, either Apples, which ran Apple's proDOS, or CP/M systems, which ran CP/M. There were Apples which ran CP/M as well. Neither proDOS nor CP/M had anything to do with Microsoft. At that time, Microsoft was really only a Basic shop, plus a few other minor lines. When IBM were looking for an OS, they'd already been talking to Microsoft about including their Basic, and when negotigations with DR about CP/M were stalled, Bill Gates sold them QDOS, and then went out to buy the rights to QDOS.

The most effective way to help the situation is for technologists to sit down and try to work with Hollywood to create an acceptable DRM model for all parties.
You're assuming that there is a possible solution. I don't think there is. The RIAA and the MPAA want a solution where it is impossible to violate their copyrights. This is not possible to do, no matter how you criple computers. Even the minimum they will accept would make many things we take for granted, and have the legal right to do, impossible.
If you're not giving them business, then you're costing them money. If this program costs them more money than it makes them, then they will cancel it.
BTW, in the US, if you call from a pay phone, it will cost an additional 35 cents.
Even the FCC chairman admits that the "transition is failing". Further more he says:"The timelines we set out for success are unrealistic," he said.

As I've said before, in actual fact there isn't really a big difference in the number and coverage of cameras between the UK and the US right now. The difference is that in the UK, there are a lot less malls than in the US. Every mall has a room somewhere were there is a security guard watching a bank of TV monitors. In the UK, most stores are still on streets, so there is no private owners to setup the equivilant, so it's done by the police instead.
Most pr0n ones are probably deceptive too

Most of the pr0n spam I get seems to be deceptive too. Grabbing one from my spam box, I find "Wanna See Britney Spear's Teenage Pussy getting fingered by
an OLDER Fan??? ". I've not been there, but I'm 99.99% sure, that's not what I'm going to find there.
It reminds me more of the story of the guide in the museam, who asked about the age of a dinosaur says that it's 74 million, 2 years and 3 months old. When asked how they know that exactly, the guide says 'well it was 74 million years old when I started, and I've been doing this for 2 years and 3 months now'
This is definatly true. If they can release them late enough, then they can have a second rush of people now they can advertise "nominated for 13 Oscars".
In the beginning, computer manufacturers would only make hardware. Software was very primative, and generally written on site.
As the industry matured, and software became more complex, then it benefited the manufacturer to bundle the software in to make the hardware work. In fact, usually you were renting a solution, not hardware, so you'd have a contract which said 'provide a solution to process 10,000 bills per month', and IBM would ensure that you could do that, including having people on site if required.
With the IBM anti-trust case, leasing and bundling of software & services was stopped, and instead you would have to purchase the hardware, and license the software, and pay for any consultancy.
The big erosion in ad viewing is due to the increase in channels. If you have 3 networks, then you can be quite sure that a significant percentage of the viewing population would see your advert. With cable channels, the audience is on dozens of channels, and even the blockbusters aren't getting the share they used to. Here is the highest rated shows of all time. None of the top 50 have occured more recently than 1996. The most recent one excluding superbowls & olympics is 1993, and the last regular episode of a series was in 1964.
The author of this article, Eve Andersson, says 'to make a substantial impact on the world, you gotta grow.' This is a well accepted fact, that just happens to be untrue.
Regardless of it's truth, is impact a goal you want to aim for? I'm perfectly happy making little impact on the world, as long as I'm feeding myself.

The Altair had no OS. Gates sold Basic for it, but Basic isn't an OS, and not every Altair ran it.
Canada is rated Category 1 (meeting ICAO standards) in FAA's International Aviation Safety Assessment Program (IASA). Air Canada, the biggest airline in Canada, last had a fatal accident in 1983, but it was in Cincinati, Ohio. The last accident in Canada was in 1978. Air Transit, and WestJet have never had a fatal accident. Canada 3000, and Roots Air, which both went defunct last year, never had a fatality in their operating lifetimes either. I can't think of another Canadian Airline.
