I would ask how they believe palladium will affect the general trend of media/software companies being more and more restrictive with their IP licensing? Who ever asks this question should probably be prepared with some statistics on this which I'm sure is out there some where.
It isn't hidden, view the doc file to see it for yourself. View the properties for the file and all of it is as plain as day. As a previous poster said, if that's hidden, you don't know much about computers. I'll go one step further, if you search the help file for word xp for personal information you get a handy help file for things that might give away info about yourself without you knowing. The file suggests checking the remove personal info box in the security tab in options as an easy way to clean out your doc files. Back on topic though. The properties and formating for the document makes me doubt she's new to word xp.
I have to agree, many aren't as well informed as they may like so kudos to you for reminding them where to look for information about patents. Unfortunately many of us learn things second hand which turn out to be unreliable without our even knowing so. Worse yet, many of us spread unreliable information until someone informed on the subject knows differently and can point us toward proof that we were wrong.
Despite the possibility that many of them may wrong about patents, they're probably right about patents adversely affecting their lives and want something done about it.

I'll tell you why these stories should be on/. every time a new outbreak happens. So we the informed tech community remind the majority who run Windows to practice safe internet/pc habits. Meanwhile you may score some brownie points with friends/family/coworkers by guiding them toward the fixes they need.
Trolling, flamebait and perhaps offtopic but here goes. It still amazes me how so many sd'ers can be on the bleeding edge of tech but still stuck on tradition when it comes to relationships.
I can only assume hardDiamond has serious issues with diamonds or why bother us? In which case, how can your fiancé respect you if you cave in on your convictions?
My suggestion is if a diamond matters that much to her, she can spend 2 months of her earnings toward what ever she likes. If that doesn't put things into perspective to her, I'm not sure what will.
I don't use quicktime myself so I'm wondering if apple has changed their EULA from 5 to 6. Also what sort of DRM quicktime has (if any) bundled along with it. Basically, is the nag window to purchase the pro version the only downside to using quicktime 6? If so perhaps this is now a good alternative to MS mediaplayer.
The only ads that don't bother me are text based and clearly marked as an ad. All others often present themselves as we demand you see them!
Now IMO, if you want to make money off each person using your OSS, let them donate idle cpu cycles. And in a good fashion, after so much contributed time toward the product, it's paid for. Upgrades would cost more but that's up to the user wither they want the latest and greatest. Certainly the die hard supporters of the project could continuously donate to their hearts content.
Unlike eyeball time, this is a mandatory donation method where the buyers are actually getting what they paid for. It's also the only method I've ever heard or thought of that I can support.
It would be nice if when you submit from the preview menu that it posts using the account you enter instead of forgetting it and posting as an annonymous coward (just because someone doesn't allow cookies?). After all, I'm not a coward, I'm paranoid.
"Whatever you may think of Blizzard and the DMCA, at least it shows Blizzard is listening to its fans." And it only took them 4 years to get around to this issue. Not that I'm complaining much, blizzard is better then some other software company's when it comes to patching games after sales for them have dropped. Still, I have to wonder if it's worth supporting a company that represses the people who actually buy their software in the name of piracy protection.
