I see so now we are working on the guilty till proven innocent system? Am i not in america? this is wrong no matter how you look at it. i cant believe they are able to get away with this
wait just a second, just what is ment by "studying competitors' products"?
does this mean that if i have used M$ office say, at my college, i am unable to contribute to open office, or some other office type project?
this is incredibly stupid in my (uneducated) opinion. whats next, are we going to tell authors they cannot write books about a subject if they read a different book on the subject beforehand? fantastic, only people completly uneducated in a subject will be able to do anything in the field. this should make for some fantastic inovation!!
You're either pro government control or against it, you can't say "these people can't have freedom because i don't like them, but don't take away my freedom because people don't like me"
yes, you can. infact, it is your responsibility to. this is america, we the people (through elected officals) are suppose to decide how we want to live, and what people are allow to do. what do you think laws are for? im not saying this is the way it always works, just the way its suppose to work.
What I want is a global extremely-high-speed ad-hoc wireless data & voice network, where the only entry cost is a mobile phone (or newtork card or whatever). Devices communicate peer to peer, or routed via other people's idle devices. Remember there is no subscriptions, so don't expect to piggy-back on someone's paid for DSL bandwidth.
Engineers love to tinker, find out how it all works, rip it apart and put it back together. Whether it's mechanical, chemical, or physical we want to understand. The only expression of the Renaissance Man left...
Eventually they'll resort to shipping blank CDs to thwart copying, and expect you to just stare at the pretty CD jacket while pretending you're listening to it...
I dont think so buddy! 'pretending you're listening to it' would require you to 'reproduce' the music in your mind, and we all know that buying the CD gives you no right to reproduce it! say, what about when your stereo reproduces the sound on it? i guess those things a criminals as well.
That picture sucks, where did my dragon dude go? he was much cooler than this crappy yelloish thing

I went through something like a drive every two years at almost no use.
I believe in todays world, using a floppy drive once in two years could be considered excessive. other than for boot disks (which i usually use a cd for anyway) i cant remember the last time i used a floppy drive

# Delivery of one kilo of cargo to the ISS: $10-20,000

# Cost of one hour's work by the team aboard the ISS: $18-19,000
"Cost of one hour's work by the team aboard the ISS: $18-19,000"???? does this mean i have to pay for the post and the time to read it?? or does it mean i can pay an extra 20g's to have them do what ever i want? id donate to a fund to have lance take an hour space walk w/ no space suit!
smaller? i already cant keep track of mine. unless they put some kind of GPS in it so i can locate it with my palm, i dont think smaller is the way to go here
ya know, i got a free copy of suse 7.2 pro from a class i took, and I loved it. w/o ISO's its just too horrible trying to install a new version...so i guess im stuck...so how am i gonna have a lot a fun!?
While the idea is neat, it will not take off simply becuase of american culture, and it sounds like a moped.
thats why they didnt call it a moped! do you think M$ buisness would be nearly as good if they called themselves money-grubbing monopilists? i think not, americans are easily tricked, if ford released a gass-guzziling monstrous SUV (if?) and called it the "echo-con 2004" it would sell well in the same principle

Wasn't MicroSoft convicted for antitrust violations? Isn't "tying" a violation of antitrust laws?
Quite clearly you have no idea what the word 'convicted' means in the US. you cant really expect to be convicted of smething if you have money!
be sure to bring poledit, itll frustrate the hell out of you if someone disabled everything, trust me, i know
