Clearly "Windows Vista" is not the same as "Vista" the software company. It's doubtful anyone is going to confuse them.
How often do people drop the term "Windows". I mean, it's called 95, 98, ME, XP, NT, so why do you think it will not be called simply "Vista". Microsoft can't change the name (Well, they could, but it's unlikely because there's a huge marketing machine in place). They could, of course, could drag it through the courts, but that would be unwise PR-wise (Cue up the "Microsoft steamrolls over another small company" propoganda). So they will load up a truckfull of cash and buy the name from the guy.
When I get snail mail with a postage return envelope, I fold all the brochures, pamphlets, certificates of approval, etc. that they sent me, and shove them all into the return envelope along with a request to remove my name from their mailing list. That way, they pay to send the junk to me, and they pay to get the "no sale" back. They may also have to pay extra for the bulky envelope.
It would be a wonderful world indeed, if that were true. Unfortunately, you are neglecting the AM/PM indicator, which would be flashing right along with the rest of the time.
DVRs are typically boxes that are provided by the cable or satellite company. The company provides the DVR with a list of shows (program guide), and keeps the clock synchronized. So, you browse through the program guide, using the arrow keys on your remote to point to the show you wish to record, and you press the record button. The DVR is now programmed. It picks up the information about the time the show starts, the time it ends, and the channel the show is on from the data fed to it from the broadcaster. You don't need to worry about any of that. It's basically point and click.
With a VCR, you have to look up the show in a program guide, and make note of the start time, end time, and channel. Next, you have to program the start and end times into the VCR (or is it the start time and duration?). You also have to program the channel. Oh, and you also have to make sure that the time on the VCR is correct.
I'd love to get a clip of that. I have a friend who works at CTV, and he says the originals are stored in a vault somewhere, but he doesn't have access to them. I loved the ship, too. It takes three days to walk across one of the biodomes. The article lists it as being 200 miles (over 320km) long.
By the way, the AI starts off with "May I be of... assistance?" before going to the "May I... help you?".
Of course it's all economics. If it were cheaper to send a manned module up to put a satellite in orbit, NASA would be doing it that way. However, it is far, far cheaper to send up just the satellite, rather than the satellite plus the astronauts plus their life support equipment and supplies, plus the re-entry vehicle. Oh, and let's not forget all the safety constraints that a manned launch requires that an unmanned one doesn't.
Because Mom and Pop got thorough and proper training from qualified licenced professionals before being allowed to purchase their computer, and they have the certifications to prove it. Oh wait... is this the continuum where Bill Gates founded a huge multinational software empire?
the only place outside of the military which strikes me as obvious is a construction site.
Let's see... Hunting, mountain climbing, oil rigs, cargo ships... basically anywhere where medical aid is hard to get to, and the chance of serious injury is high. They might also be useful for paramedics and air ambulance crews to have.

The answer is in your own post. It's EMPTY Pringles cans that are contraband, not ones filled with Pringles.
By the way, I think this mail-in is a terrific idea. I may even buy a can to participate.

You're ignoring the ad revenue generated by Microsoft through having www.msn.com as the home page.
Have you metaroderated recently?
Metaroderated?
So, what you're saying is that it is the yang?
A ton of half chicks?
The Stargate is in here.
And what, pray tell, is wrong with starting a sentence with "and"? Here's one: "And gates are the backbone of chip design."
To me, Kirk always seemed like it would be a good Klingon name, along the lines of Kor, Koloth, Kang, etc.
Miles O'Brien was the transporter chief on Picard's Enterprise. Kyle was the transporter chief on Kirk's enterprise.
Now he's going to have to build a new table of elements
You could also point a laser at the moon and see if you get a reflection back. A few of the Apollo missions left retroreflectors on the lunar surface.

How many hot water heaters, air conditioners, and electric ovens run off a computer power cable?
Of course it's called a UPS. The question is, why isn't it built into the bloody power supply.

If so, maybe they should rename it the Phoenix.
Everything revolves around economics. Ask any poor person.
The vast majority of activities outside work involve beer.
You say that like activities inside work don't involve beer.
