I wonder how exactly they define "three applications simultaneously". Is it three windows in the taskbar? Do applets in the system tray count?
Hope they don't use Internet Explorer, or that pirated copy of Office for that matter. While programs like Firefox are working to reduce taskbar clutter, Microsoft is bragging about how Word creates a taskbar entry for each document!
It depends on the extension author. Whoever wrote the extension must have coded it specifically to one version instead of a range. I have a dozen extensions installed and none of them complained from 1.0 to 1.0.1 to 1.0.2.
Note that.xpi files are really.jar files that you can unpack and edit the "allowed versions" tag to make them more lenient. I forget the exact details but a little Googling should turn it up if you're interested.
It already does. Be sure automatic updates are turned on under Tools, Options, Advanced, Software Updates.
There were some problems with auto update in 1.0 that were fixed in 1.0.1. You should now see a message box in the bottom right corner (like when downloads finish) when there are critical updates.
Also, another easily-overlooked item is the up-pointing arrow that sometimes appears in the top right corner. This means updates are available. Red for critical updates, blue or green for non-critical updates.
Just project the 8mm/16mm film images onto a bright-white screen that has a lot of reflectivity to it, physically place a camcorder directly above the project - or slightly above and slightly behind - to minimize the "trapezoid" effect, record the projection with the camcorder, then use one of the many analog-to-digital bridges out there to transfer it to your PC.
If there is any audio, you can capture the audio either through the camcorder or through the PC's sound card and then synchronize.
That's way too much work. Just pay some neighborhood kids to re-enact those old films of your children going up and record it digitally this time.
In fact, I hear that's what George Lucas did with his old home movies. You can even add in some hilarious CGI sidekicks!
The Neuros has open firmware, hardware, and software. You currently have to download a trial version of TI's compiler for their DSP, but last I knew there was an effort underway to get a gcc target written for it.

Yes, what is your point? If you don't like the terms of your employment, don't work for the company. That company paid him good money to be creative on their time. Of course they have a right to own whatever he designed.
As I said before, he doesn't deserve a cent, except of course for the money he already made in their employ.
When a company is paying you to work for them, anything you create while on the clock belongs to them, not you.
This guy invented something while working for another company. That means the company owned the idea, they owned the research, they owned everything. He doesn't deserve a cent.
Someone should start a campaign to spam the MICROS~1 1-800 activation hotline. Maybe a quickie program to call in and then play "All your base are belong to us" over and over?
Remember, they have to foot the bill for all those calls!

Good point. We Americans might be better at it than most, but that doesn't mean the motivation isn't there in everyone!

How quaint.
Besides that, Apple would never release a product with that many jacks in the back. Too confusing for non-techies.
Yes, but they did this through reverse-engineering. IANAL but this probably leaves them open to DMCA lawsuits.
Microsoft has simply left this alone because OO.o and the others aren't yet a threat. If they ever become one, you'll see the floodgates open.

1. Release a kernel 10 years after the Linux boom started which will never be used by anyone besides a few RMS fanboys and Free purists.
2. ????
3. Profit!
