Microsoft's QA program is very heavily slanted towards automated testing of regular builds. If something isn't on the test, it won't be tested. They don't do good design reviews, which is why some of the stupid holes don't get protected from.
Always connected and broadband are two totally seperate things. Lots of people did always connected over a standard voice line. If you wanted to avoid having to get a second line, it would be very easy to make a device which gave you two channels over a standard copper line, one of them could be used for voice, and one for data. Maybe even a little left over for control purposes. You'd have to give it a catchy acronymn to compare with ADSL, maybe something like ISDN.
ICANN represents an effort at global self-regulation that, if successful, has great merit in a number of different ways and if it fails, it has the potential to fuck up our lives in a number of different ways. I don't think that making it less accountable is likely to make it more successful.
In 1999, Brazil spent 1.7% of it's GNP on defense. The same year, the USA spent 3.2%. Of course, the USA GNP per capital is much higher than the Brazilian, so that a bigger share of a bigger pie.
Yes you can. You're thinking of the IP Masq type of NATing, where the system dynamically looks for outgoing connections, and NAT's them. Many systems allow static NATs to be defined, so that incoming connections are NATed as appropraite. If you connect to one port, you're NAT'd to one IP address/port. If you connect to another port, you're NAT'd to a different address/port. This is not theoretical, I do it right now every day, where we have about a dozen services distributed to different machines.
I think the approved way to do this is for the client to try to DHCP to a IPv6 server. If it gets an answer from this, then it will get either just an IPv6 address, or both an IPv6 and an IPv4 address. If it does not get an answer, then it should try to DHCP to an IPv4 server, in which case it would get only an IPv4 address. The DHCP server would listen on only IPv4 (If it was an IPv4 version) or both IPv4 and IPv6 (If it was an IPv6 version). This way you get backwards compatability for both old clients, and old servers.
And the OS's and devices. If IPv4 is on the bootup screen, but IPv6 is hidden down deep so that you have to be an expert, then people are going to choose IPv4 only.
You have to remember that the 405 line service started earlier than the US 525 line service.
405 line was first introduced in 1936, and temporarily shutdown in 1939. During the war, the european countries were too busy to do anything, but by 1940 the US decided to standardize on 525 lines, not a huge amount above the British 405 lines systems, but enough that in the mid sixties when colour was coming along, NTSC could be built on top of 525 lines, but no acceptable colouring system could be built on top of 405 lines.
However, with new TV stations broadcasting only in 625 lines, as soon as PAL came out, you could get monocrome PAL sets. Indeed, monocrome PAL was all that was available for many years. At that time, the tube & the colour decoding was the most expensive part, and by ommitting those, you could make a cheaper set.
I doubt if anyone lost any investment in 405 line sets. 405 line was offically obsolete in 1964, when the first 625 line channel (BBC2) was introduced. There was never a 405 line BBC2 signal. Colour was introduced to BBC2 in 1967, but 405 line service continued on until 1985, 49 years of broadcasting.

I have burnt exactly 2 audio cd's in about 8 years of having access to a burner. One was a collection of Y2K related music that we played at the rollover from 1999 to 2000, and one was a collection of Canadian tunes that I gave to a Canadian who was going to Australia for six months. Both of these were entirely made from tunes downloaded from mp3.com. Every non audio CD I've burnt has been backups, linux distributions, my own code etc.
This is no different from one country deciding it needs the resources of another - minerals, say - and simply sending their army to annex it. A classic example of this is Iraq invading Kuwait.
A better example is the US invading Panama just when the canal lease was about to expire.
No, you're giving an example of a generic drug, where the same drug is manufactured and sold by multiple manufaturers under different names. A copycat, or a me-to, drug is where a drug company sees a competitor making a successful drug, and makes a drug with a similar effect. For example, prosac was the first SSRI. Since Prosac came out, other SSRIs have come out, such as Celexa and Paxil. However, a copycat drug isn't neccessarily less safe or safer. Sometime the me-to has safer sideeffects, sometimes not.
The brazilian drugs will be generics, exactly the same as the patented versions, but not produced under license.
Right now there is really no viable way to make a living as a musician or and artists
An important questions is "is there really any viable way for artists to make a living". Historically, there has not. Van Gogh only sold 1 painting in his entire life. Mozart lived on the charity of his patrons.
Indeed they do, but obviously Jacquard's cards did not share an encoding scheme with Hollerith's, and therefore they don't directly fit into the history of why EBCDIC uses the codes it does.
EBCDIC is still used on IBM mainframes, and for a good reason.
Originally IBM made equipment to deal with punched cards. However setting up a tab machine was very time consuming. Early IBM business computers were basically automated plug boards, they still used cards as i/o, but the program was quickly and easily changed. It wasn't until the 70s that mass storage started to replace punch cards. Because of this, mainframes use EBCDIC which is an enhanced version of the original punch card code, almost totally backwards compatable.
Punch cards never used ASCII, first they were in use since about 1880, long before ASCII was thought up, secondly, ASCII isn't suitable for a punch card code - if you tried to punch a card full of '7' characters, you'd end up with 400 holes on one card, which wouldn't have any structural strength. Punch cards had numbers encoded as a single hole, and everything else as one or two holes, giving a maximum of 160 holes possible on a single card. This gave a maximum of 64 different codes, so when the computer read in the card it could be very easily translated into a six bit code, a Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code or BCDIC. Extending this to 8 bits gave EBCDIC.
Here is a good description of card formats and EBCDIC.

It's happened before. Some of the early Star Wars stuff had Luke & Leia married.

So what did you do with her body?
Yes you can. You're thinking of the IP Masq type of NATing, where the system dynamically looks for outgoing connections, and NAT's them.

This way you get backwards compatability for both old clients, and old servers.
But you could do this right now with NAT and a single address. Why do you need IPv6 to do it?
And the OS's and devices. If IPv4 is on the bootup screen, but IPv6 is hidden down deep so that you have to be an expert, then people are going to choose IPv4 only.
