If Yes: Then he has the right to transer ownership to this site. And the student has already given up all rights.
If No: Then he does not have , and any contract between him and site are void. If I submit "War And Peace" is does not mean the site now owns it, as I don't have any rights to the document.
Until some universal file formats are agress by all the compaines out there , then it will no take over. But when your document can be opened in an os , on any word processer... well that will be the end of ms won't it.....
I think if all linux distros' could agree on one set of configuration programs , like YaST and Sax on SuSE, then it could be the first time to biting into the Windows market.
Everyone who uses windows knows about the control panel , no matter how stupid they are. Why can't like have a similar system on all versions ?

COMPUTING'S HIGHEST HONOR AWARDED TO INVENTORS OF DOMINANT PROGRAMMING STYLE
Norwegian Team Developed Concepts for Software Now in Home Entertainment Devices
New York, February 5, 2002...The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has presented the 2001 A.M. Turing Award, considered the "Nobel Prize of Computing," to Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard of Norway for their role in the invention of object-oriented programming, the most widely used programming model today. Their work has led to a fundamental change in how software systems are designed and programmed, resulting in reusable, reliable, scalable applications that have streamlined the process of writing software code and facilitated software programming. Current object-oriented programming languages include C++ and Java, both widely used in programming a wide range of applications from large-scale distributed systems to small, personal applications, including personal computers, home entertainment devices, and standalone arcade applications. The A.M.Turing Award carries a $25,000 prize.
The discrete event simulation language (Simula I) and general programming language (Simula 67) developed by Dahl and Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center in Oslo, Norway in the 1960's, led the way for software programmers to build software systems in layers of abstraction. With this approach, each layer of a system relies on a platform implemented by the lower layers. Their approach has resulted in programming that is both accessible and available to the entire research community.
"The work of Drs. Dahl and Nygaard has been instrumental in developing a remarkably responsive programming model that is both flexible and agile when it is applied to complex software design and implementation," said John R. White, executive director and CEO of ACM. "It is the dominant style for implementing programs with large numbers of interacting components." The awards committee noted that the core concepts embodied in their object-oriented methods were designed for both system description and programming and provided not just a logical but a notational basis for their ideas. The benefits of their work are not limited to software but are applicable to business processes as well.
Drs. Dahl and Nygaard are professors (emeriti) of informatics at the University of Oslo. They developed their object-oriented programming concepts at the Norwegian Computing Center from 1961-67. Professor Nygaard was involved in large-scale simulation studies at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment from 1949-60. He continued his work on object-orientation, and did research on systems development, participative system design, and societal consequences of information technology. With Danish colleagues, he invented Beta, a general object-oriented language.
Professor Dahl also worked at the Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, and joined the Simula project as an experienced designer and implementer of basic software as well as high level programming language. In 1968, Dahl became the first professor of informatics at the University of Oslo, responsible for establishing research and education programs in this rapidly expanding field. His focus on computer program verification led to the development of his theory of constructive types and subtypes based on computer-aided concept formation and reasoning.
ACM will present the A.M. Turing Award, its most prestigious technical honor, at the annual ACM Awards Banquet April 27, 2002, at the University of Toronto. The award was named for A. M. Turing, a pioneer in the computing field. Financial support for the award is provided by InterTrust Technologies Corp.'s Strategic Technologies and Architectural Research Laboratory.

I think its only cheaper on a Cost verus Speed basic. I am sure the google archive is only a few 100gb , and thats not too much to buy in ram. A hard disk would be cheaper but alot slower. Costing the company extra money in the long run.
Consumer confidence in ecommerce and the Internet is growing despite the effects of the weakening economy, according to a joint survey by Yahoo! and ACNielsen.
It seems consumers are becoming more confident about disclosing their credit card details online and more trusting that goods they've ordered will be delivered.
And it seems the growth in ecommerce sales comes against the backdrop that consumers realise buying online doesn't necessarily mean the goods will be cheaper than in the high street.
Put together, these results helped the second wave of the Internet Confidence Index register a five point rise compared with June.
Three months ago, the survey predicted that the US would spend $9.9 billion online during the third quarter. This time round analysts predict that the US will spend $16 billion online during Q4 in the run up to the holiday season.
Critically, the survey found that the future growth of ecommerce depends on a strong Q4 and the opportunity it gives ecommerce novices to buy online.
The research found that if these "light" Net users (those who use the Net less than once a day) have a good online shopping experience they're more likely to become regular eshoppers.
And turning "light" users into "heavy" Net users is key to making ecommerce part of mainstream consumerism.
Said Rob Solomon, VP and GM of Yahoo! Shopping: "The results have further confirmed what we have experienced over the last two holiday seasons; holiday shopping has become the impetus for light Internet users to shop online, many of whom in turn become regular online shoppers

Al Gore must be very proud... with inventing the internet and all
I may not be able to rule in its current format. But when you look at how much it has improved from 3 or 4 years ago... whats it going to be like.
Is there any reason why a furure version won't have 100% windows compatablity or other features that would make it the best choice for a desktop.
That would be like someone who submitted a bug report to Microsoft about Windows XP cliaming a % of the profits.
I persume the contact should hold the answer in most cases. And if this isn't mentioned... then its time to add it.
I think its only cheaper on a Cost verus Speed basic. I am sure the google archive is only a few 100gb , and thats not too much to buy in ram. A hard disk would be cheaper but alot slower. Costing the company extra money in the long run.
Most code can be de-complied or unassembled, if people have enough time / money on their hands.
Can anyone think of any reason for this?
And does anyone plan to listen for more than 30 seconds?
1 Terabyte = 1024GB = 1048576 MB
/1048576 is a price of $0.0047 a mb.
$ 5,000
Or another was $4.88 for a GB.
Now who remembers when harddisks where more than $10 a mb.
