Why not give me a version number and some way to know what program created it.
right click on pretty much any file (win2k), select the summary tab, click advanced, fill in the author and revision number.
Many executable files also contain pre-filled version numbers on the version tab: \WINNT\explorer.exe has company name, internal name, language, original filename, product name and product version as well as file version, description and copyright notice.
But, yes, windows does still rely heavily on file extensions to determine type/opener. I don't mind that so much. It's easy to change a file from one format to another by changing its extension. It's I've had trouble with files on the mac that are bonafide jpegs, opening in simpletext (I didn't have PC exchange set up properly, and the file types werent set to PHSD (or whatever the magic number for photoshop is)).
I know it was a joke, but I don't think it would work.
AFAIK, the CPCC distributes the money through a SOCAN-like system. SOCAN decides how to distribute tariffs based on media sampling. If your songs don't get heavy play on Canadian radio, you don't get paid.

Nope, this is the Mac, and not Windows.
I'd bet that almost all of the Office/OSX stuff was contained in Applications:Microsoft:Office:* or something similar, with only non-critical data like preferences external to that tree.
If it was Windows, you'd have to copy the Office files, a bunch of DLLs from the System Directory and a plethora of registry keys.
Installing / uninstalling software on the Mac doesn't often require the use of anything more than the original directory and the trash can.
Webb watched the teenager copy a couple of other applications. He left the kid to find a CompUSA employee. "I went over and told a CompUSA guy, but he looked at me like I was clueless," Webb said.
I can't stop playing. It's like tetris for smart people.
I played in the arcade and decided I MUST have a version to play at home, so I got BoycottAdvance (decent GBA emulator) and the Japanese ROM for Mr. Driller 2, and now every time I sit down to do some "work", I end up 980 feet underground with no oxygen, on my last life.

It has NOTHING to do with copying. Originally, you are correct. DeCSS was built to decode discs without using one of the proprietary (and unavailable) players.
BUT, unfortunately, it has opened the door to DVD copyright infringement ("piracy"), like it or not.
While it shouldn't be inherently illegal to decode and copy discs for legitimate purposes, that's not how DeCSS is being used, the majority of the time. It sucks, but it's true.
To many people, it has EVERYTHING to do with copying (or decoding and re-encoding to other media, distributing, etc).
the question is can they take the crown from Nintendo
I seriously doubt it. Nintendo is particularly GOOD at what they do, especially when it comes to handhelds. Just look at the staying power of the original gameboy. Even to this day, they're still selling, pretty much the original gameboy (with much improved battery life, size, screen, etc)..
Competition is always good, but MS' product will need to completely blow away the GBA (and then some) to compete -- let's not forget that the original 4 colour gameboy sompletely outsold Sega's technologically superior (at the time)Gamegear.

Still, increasing your "size" by 9 inches would just not be comfortable. (-:

UMG is making every effort to eliminate these problems as soon as possible.
That's a blatant LIE.
It's VERY easy to eliminate these problems: comply with the Red Book.
"every effort" is pure BS.
I agree, that's it's good etiquette to not chain-quote, but really, most users can't be expected to follow old rules like that..
old? yes.

Let's face it. Email etiquette is a niche. Same as websites that don't require graphics and/or plugins and/or javascript are a niche.

You're right. I don't have hard data..
Think about it though..
That's like saying "sure, napster wasn't used for illegitimate purposes.. most people _I_ know used it for getting indie music".
I'm unfounded, but I'm prolly still right. (-:
Because a lot of DVD copy programs allow downsampling to Div X ;) or equivalent, and allow copying to CD.. cheap -- that's why they need DeCSS.

You don't have to go far to find DeCSS being used in "shady" ways:

http://www.dvdcopycentral.com/
http://www.howtocopydvds.com/
http://www.dvdcopypro.com/
.. I could go on.

Gotta say, thats a sharp looking little device.
