And it isn't like they are giving away $1 billion in cash. They are giving away the worth of the costs of CDs enough to store software worth $1 billion.
The second thought that pops into my head - will the upgrades be given away too?
Maybe they (dogs and wolves) wouldn't interbreed either, if they were as intelligent as humans? Maybe humans and chimps would interbreed if we were as "dumb" as them.
Might be they understand them, but deem them 'not sufficient'. I have yet to hear a reasonable pro-war reason. All things considered, this is still an unnecessary war, imho.
And, your arguments may also be applied to many pro-war individuals, for that matter.
From article: When all 10 shots have been fired, the magazine/ barrel is simply ejected and a new, loaded barrel is installed, using a quick-release lever. The empty barrel (held in place by a clip that permits rapid removal and replacement) is returned to the dealer for reloading. It's virtually impossible for ordinary users to make or reload the uniquely coded, caseless ammunition.
Yes, oranized crime will probably find a way of getting ammo anyway, but it should hopefully stop your average hoodlum.
"exactly why did you send Mohammed bin Mohammed a picture of your kitten a day before al-Queda hijacked that airliner?"
None of your freaking business. Mohammed bin Mohammed is an old friend of mine, he wanted to see a picture of my new kitten.
Freedom of expression, freedom of speech. No?
Maybe a professor's testamony of "high probability" is enough to get you in deep shit over there, fortunately we still have something that reminds of citizen rights, this side of the pond.
Only 67 years between two bicycle mechanics essentially playing with a kite to walking on the moon! That boggles the mind!
I like to think that once technology is mature, it will not take long until someone find a way of using it in a new brilliant way. (Wonder from whom I stole this philosophy?)
In the case of going from groking avionics to "walking on the moon", the step is not that big, even for 67 years. It just takes a hell of a lot of resources (intellectual, monetray and material) beeing concentrated in that limited amount of time. The plenty of resources were given by two world wars and a cold one.
Wonder where we would have been today if it weren't for 2 x WW + cold war?
The interview was published in October 1995, maybe Bill G has learned beeing more polite in public since back then. IIrc, he used to be a bit more arrogant.
Yes, iirc there were such problems, but not very much.
I think another major concern was that PCL, because of operating around 30 MHz, might interfere with existing networks, such as military, shipping and air traffic communication networks. Some shortwave radio amateurs also claimed their hobby might get crushed if PLC become widespread.
I can give you that 400 degrees celsius is pretty hot, but the owen in my apartment manages 300 degrees celsius, which is 75% of the talked about heat. I am not an expert with white goods, but an owen with the extra 25% capacity required for a 400 degrees celsius temprature might very well exist.

Guess that would work as well.
Galileo has been in the planning for quite a while, and will as far as I can tell be compatible and possibly linked with the US GPS system.
The Galileo homepage, in english.
Exactly.

And remember that wolves are a lot more like dogs than humans are like chimps.
I wonder if a dog or a wolf would agree with you?
They can always swallow their pride, scrap their insecure system and join the Liberty Alliance Project.
Ah, and that would not be annoying for the non-intended audience, in what way?
Read the article and get a clue what the system is about.
Yes, innovation is baaaaaad.....
Please explain how you would go about projecting sound at a person 100 yards away with your cheap headphones.
Desperation? :)

The things you mention are refinements of the UI, not redesigns.
Funny coincidence that a desktop manager named 'ROX', actually do rock. A lot. Rox rocks.
No?
Nevermind.
I think he used a .44 pistol in one movie. Sudden impact?
You didn't read the article, did you?

No, I don't.
As far as I can tell americans allow their rights to be stripped away step by step, for a small sense of security.
That is why I am glad living on the right side of the pond.
(Hint, not the west side.)
(Hint 2. pond = Atlantic ocean)
Since you mention Freedom of Speech, a Constitutional right, I'll assume you're on the West side of "the pond".
:)
No, I am european.
I think freedom of speech fares better in EU than in US right now, constitutional rights or not.

They say you grow older and wiser, after all.
I think he meant "Ewok".
Wearing an Ewok is simple: Fry it with a laser, make clothes of the fur.
Steelworkers of America, keep reaching for that rainbow!
