No I didn't get the (very bad) pun. Yes, its not pronounced like "Simons", but it it's not pronounced as pronounced as "Semen" either. The ie is a long "e" and the last "S" is a hard S, meaning it's not swallowed (har, har, har...).
Closest thing in English would be "Sea-mens" where "mens" would be pronounces as in "mens room".
What do you mean? Here in Europe, many consumers do have Fujitsu-Siemens computers. It seems to be one of the most popular brands. At my local supermarket they sell many models of that brand. Even here at the office (where all laptops are HP), the workstations are Fujitsu-Siemens. Heck, we just got a new VM server and it was Fujitsu-Siemens.
Remember for most people NOT buying anything is not an option
I disagree, that option exists always. They just don't have the spine not to buy anything.
As from music "from home".... Try to integrate a bit in the country that hosts you, it's a matter of respect. I say that as a nationalized citizen of the country where I used to be an expat.
I doubt most businesses would be content with whatever MS offers up.
Why not? You rarely see firewalls like Zonealarm or Blackice on corporate computers. Actually, I've never seen any. The Windows internal Firewall is usually on, though.
Also, consider this is Microsoft. They could integrate this with WSUS, and centralise the virus updates. (I am aware that several AV vendors provide such tools for their software.) I bet system administrators would be all over it.
There is already free AV software, yet the commercial vendors are still in business.
This has probably more to do with the fact that those free (as in beer) versions come with a license that disallows commercial usage. This is like back in the olden McAfee days. Their virus scanner (on DOS) was free for non-commercial use. Want to use it in a company? Pay up!
When virus scanners became payable for the end-user, I was apalled.
Windows ships without Media Player in Europe for this reason
That's not true. All machines here ship with Media Player. The ruling said that there must be a version without Media Player, but didn't prohibit the sale of the Windows version with Media Player nor does it cost less money. For all intents and purposed, the Edition N is nonexistent.
You don't/have/ to do anything.... You can simply say: "No, I won't buy your defective product". There are also still normal CDs, which can be ripped. You do have a choice.
Honestly, if any of the software developers I have ever worked with wrote code that required a case-sensitive file system I'd have him fired on the spot.
A bit offtopic, but tell that to pretty much all Java programmers that hardcode backslashes in their file manipulation routines. I sometimes feel, I'm the only one bothering with making my code platform independent. (How hard is it really to use System.getProperty( "file.separator" )???)
So, yes, they should be fired.... but, no, it won't happen.
That's my best guess too. However, would the generated "extractor" magnetic field not merge with the "container" magnetic field? I foresee a lot of problems, but there are smarter people than me who'll probably know the solution;-)

Yes, and in fact I do speak German....
How does Konica-Minolta sound to you then?
Siemens is a well known European brand, Fujitsu is a well known Japanese brand... It's simply a combination of both....

Fujitsu-Siemens is huge.
I'm sure that the prey prays that it won't die.
Oh, really? Yes, I know "whooosh"...

Try defining "soul" in scientific terms. Try it... There is most likely not something as a soul.
I even rely at home on dedicated hardware. Most places I worked for have indeed dedicated hardware, but the internal firewall is still turned on.
As an Administrator, you now already have a problem. This should be a big no-no....
Actually, if you bothered to go and look at the pictures, you'd have seen that many still do work.
Are you trying to tell us that JavaScript isn't Turing-Complete?
Perhaps it's not practical, but it can be done in JavaScript. Go take a look at Google Doc, that's JavaScript...

Please, it's "whether".... You aren't talking about sunshine and rain here, you know...

About the eating: I cook daily for my wife and me. I must be a strange fellow....
I never assumed so, my dear AC... I never assumed so. That doesn't stop me from pointing out things I find worrysome.

What does a head of an educational institution to do with all this? (hint) I hate that spelling error.... (or collage/college, affect/effect, and many more)
You do realise that this is an extremely worrying statement, don't you?
That's my best guess too. However, would the generated "extractor" magnetic field not merge with the "container" magnetic field? I foresee a lot of problems, but there are smarter people than me who'll probably know the solution ;-)
Where? In some natural magnetic field? Even, then... how are you going to extract it?
