But did clothing discovered at the crime scene fit? Despite having DNA evidence, as every Court TV viewer knows, if the glove does not fit then you must acquit!
Set up an HHS/CDC commission to define for any disease a set of benchmarks with a reward then an overall payout for any company that can meet the stated goal of curing the disease. Allow seed money grants from charitable non-profits to launch the research projects, with some restrictions such as the company must prove they are capable of doing the research and have a sound plan. To be eligible for the payout, the researchers must publish all research data, including incidental or unrelated discoveries into the public domain for peer review.
This will remove the pharmaceutical companies from the research phase and make them focus on the manufacturing and testing of better, safer drugs. The manufacturing processes may be patented for a limited time (5 years) before entering the public domain but the individual components may not be protected. All drugs must still be vetted through the FDA before they can be sold. Competition will keep prices down, while opening niche markets to smaller companies. Imported drugs are allowed to be sold here if the company holds the U.S. manufacturing patent or if the process is in the public domain, with appropriate tariffs at customs.
To Quote: The Teleportation Tweak is the phenomenal new product from Machina Dynamica. The Teleportation Tweak is an advanced communications technique discovered and developed by Machina Dynamica for upgrading audio systems remotely -- even over very long distances. The Teleportation Tweak has a profound effect on the sound and is performed during a phone call to Machina Dynamica; the phone call can be made via landline or cell phone from any room in the house. The tweak itself takes about 30 seconds. ... The effects of the Teleportation Tweak are instantaneous and the improvement to sound quality will be audible immediately. The Teleportation Tweak excels in 3-dimensionality, lushness, inner detail and air. Bonus: The picture quality of any video system in the house will also be improved - better color and contrast! Customer should pay via Paypal or check/MO (payable to Geoff Kait) prior to calling Machina Dynamica via landline or cell phone. Machina Dynamica's Teleportation Tweak $60.
Transation: They will call you, for the bargain price of $60, and not only make your entire audio system sound better, but it will improve the picture quality on your televisions!

So by this theory, the version of Paperboy that you can download from Xbox Live is *also* High-Def, since it's technically output at a 720p resolution?
It's a sad state when other companies have remade MS Office better than Microsoft makes their own software. I like Google Documents and Sheets, but my favorite so far is ThinkFree.com. It's got the look and feel of Office, but all the collaborative features that the desktop software lacks, and it's completely accessable from anywhere in the world from just about any machine. And like Google it's completely free for the online version. The only downside is how long it takes to open a document, but it's a small inconvenience compared to downloading Openoffice on a friend's PC who got shafted with a demo version of MS Works.
Division is a bit more complicated, but still automatic. One oddity is the appearance of two divide keys on the keyboard. Apparently this was a result of another calculator company having a patent on a 'single key' divide function, which Friden's lawyers were concerned enough about to insist that the machine not have a single key for division. In fact, the 'left' division key is what actually triggers the division to take place, but, if actuated by itself, the resultant quotient will be the 10's compliment of the expected result. The 'right' divide key switches the mode of the counter register (where the quotient is accumulated) so that it increments instead of decrements during the repeated subtraction process that makes up division. So, in order to get the expected answer, both divide keys must be pressed at once.

Actually, I skipped NT 3.5 so I could also skip Windows 3.11. And I did include NT 4.0 in there, I just didn't properly designate the version number (3.5 wasn't much used, afaik)
I also didn't include DOS - but there were too many to name. The only noteworthy ones I remember were 5 and 6.22.
Everyone knows that you skip ever other Microsoft OS.
Windows 3.0 - Meh, a new gui. Windows 3.1 - Woot, welcome to the 16 bit world. Windows 95 - Meh, a new gui. And, oh look, winsock. Windows NT - Finally, a business class desktop OS. Windows 98 - sloppy, but stuff's starting to work like it should. Windows 98SE - Hey, it's what they *should* have released 98 as. Windows ME - ugh, this bites harder than a doberman on a diet. Windows 2000 - The greatest operating system MS has made to date. Windows XP - A new gui. Lots of security holes. Windows MCE - Features the media center features that people were turning to Apple for, with improved (not great) security. Windows Visa - Meh, a new gui. They really should have made this 64-bit all around.
If the version you're running now sucks, just wait for the next version. Right?

Feedback?
That's when you hold the mic too close to the speakers. Happens no matter the gauge of the cable.
What you really need are some trucks to carry the sound in.
Sorry, this one has you beat by about 25AU
