"The real question is, how long after MS develops office for OS-X 86 will it take for the unmodified code to run in Linux or BSD?"
Office for OSX uses the Aqua interface, so it's not strictly a *nix app. Otherwise, it would have been able to run on PPC variants of Linux a while ago.
It's "free" in the sense that if you actually go to the restaurant you'll pay the same price for the food. The restaurant is willing to eat the delivery charge (no pun intended) in exchange for the opportunity to do business with someone who doesn't feel like dining out, but doesn't feel like cooking, either. The delivery service charge incurred by the restaurant, OTOH, is somewhat offset by the fact that it didn't have to pay any waitstaff. My fiance used to work for our local delivery company (Dine In) and explained the process.
The reason Dagoba worked so well as a hideout for Yoda is because a Sith was killed there, creating a "shadow" that would cancel out Yoda's presence. I'm not sure if it's been revealed exactly which Sith was killed there.
While you're waiting, powernotebooks.com offers Windows XP Home/Pro as an *additional option*, so they'll sell you an OS-less laptop by default. The 3-year warranty on my Inspiron 8200 runs out this July and I'm eyeing a couple of their ASUS laptops that offer a modular PCI-e graphics card.
These days I'd rather trust NASDAQ than the old boy's network that is the NYSE. Information flows freer, which is important for capitalism to work. In fact, Microsoft refuses to be listed on NYSE, even though the letter "M" is reserved for them as a ticker symbol.
There is no scientific reasoning...Star Wars is a work of fiction. There does not have to be any connect whatsoever between us and the humans in Star Wars. If anything, they are human to make it easier for us to identify with.
It is quite obvious in my mind that the humans living on Naboo are not native to the planet. They might have arrived there 100 years ago or 5,000 years ago for all we know. There are humans living all over the Star Wars galaxy. The reason the two races get along is because by the time they met they were both highly civilized cultures.
I would say that given their recent industrialization efforts combined with their centralized authority, China is heading towards a facist state. Should make for some interesting world wars for my grandkids to fight.

I got used to it in about a day when I got my first FPS for my PS2. Before that I only played those games on my PC with a keyboard and mouse. It's not that one interface is superior to another, they're just different. I can easily use my PS2 controller to circle straffe and still keep a bead on my opponent.
That's how I used to be. I was pretty much just into Counterstrike et al on my PC and just adventure/action-type games for the PS2. Then Star Wars Battlefront came along and changed my opinion of FPS games for consoles. It was a little awkward at first, but then I realized it wasn't because WASD+mouse was better, it was simply a matter of what I was used to.
Now I tend to do very well in online matches in SW:BF on the PS2. I can also beat my brother-in-law's butt playing TimeSplitters 2 using that crazy looking Gamecube controller after a little bit of warming up.
That said, Ghost Recon 2 (another FPS) for the PS2 sucked hard, so I know you still have to be careful in picking out a good console FPS.
"As someone who has been ignored at car dealers on several occasions (usually because of my apparent age or because of the borrowed car I was driving that day), I find the practice of turning customers away arrogant and annoying."
That reminds me of a couple stories I've heard.
My grandmother was at the bank and saw and old guy in scruffy clothing walk in. He filled out a withdrawal slip to make a withdrawal. The teller was trying to ignore him and was rather rude. He then went to get another withdrawal slip, filled it out and said, "Here, now you're going to have to give me this much instead." He took $1 million out of the bank that day because the teller was being a bitch.
More recently, a co-worker of mine was sitting in a large, empty board room at a high-powered New York law firm waiting for a meeting to begin. Another old guy in a scruffy suit (who could have been a security guard) walks in and they start a friendly conversation. The meeting starts to get together and its turns out this old guy was to be our client.
The lesson I guess is always talk nice with old men in scruffy clothing.
That's just silly. There is nothing wrong with having some sort of industry group and surely no one has the right to tell another with whom or whom not they may associate.
However, if "every citizen" in your scenario has enough initiative and energy to get off his fat ass and lobby for such an event, then they should have at least equal initiative and energy to be able to write their congressmen to let them know who's boss. In other words, all that is needed is for the citizens to actively assert their power over the government, as responsible citizens should.
Given your choices and *only* the information you provided, I'd pick the son. Based upon the info you provided, we know for certain that the daughter is a slut. Wrt the son, you only indicated his sexual preference and did not indicate whether or not he was a "man-whore." Interestingly enough, neither did you indicate the daughter's sexual preference.

Windows 2000 didn't have Windows Product Activation ("WPA") and the "corporate" site license versions of XP don't have it either.

If Apple doesn't start filing lawsuits against P2P users in a reasonable amount of time (say, a month?), then I'll give some credence to this theory.
On a similar note, if they can get CrossOver Office and/or Cedega running on OSX86, I fully expect Ballmer to shit a brick, a-la Bender.

If the cell tower (as the phone sees it) is on the plane, the telephone will use a much lower power setting to generate its signal.
It's in northern Kentucky.
It sounds perfectly cromulent to me.

It would be a safe assumption that they are native to Naboo, but that doesn't necessarily have to be true.

And trust me, it hurts like a bitch!

Obviously, that gets stored about 7 folder layers deep in the "Music" folder, so the Mrs. doesn't find it.

Even worse with the juices from the ultra-hot variety of peppers. Ever mace yourself from the inside?
And what's to stop the *AAs from being "B" and logging all the IP addresses?

Sure, I would think this program at least cover all 51 states.
The screenshots look a lot like the 3D map of NYC in the Spider-Man 2 game.
