If you overwrite or delete a file...you can just right-click on the file, select "Properties," and go to the "Previous Versions" tab to see all the prior versions of that file.
Just how exactly does one right-click on a file he or she has deleted?:)
The 'financial opportunity' in the article refers to BayStar's purchase of $20 million worth of the Royal Bank of Canada's share of SCO at less than the Bank paid for them. Therefore, BayStar is coming out on top in the deal, making it a 'financial opportunity.'
Well, it's not so much WINE-like, but for Linux PPC users, there's Mac-on-Linux, which has worked very well for most commonly used apps (in my opinion).
Yes, except it wouldn't work that way in practice. Investigations simply have to be carried out, and part of that is always going to be at the expense of the innocent. Saying that law enforcement needs to be efficient is all fine and good, but the fact of the matter is that it's never going to be 100% efficient, and there are going to be "casualties."
The way it would more likely work in a system like the one proposed is that, yes, law enforcement would become somewhat more efficient, but costs would skyrocket as every person on the block began suing them and recovering damages. To cover these costs, there would be two options: Cuts to law enforcement, or increasing taxes to cover the increased costs of law enforcement.
Of course, the problem with this way of looking at things is that it significantly impairs the ability of law enforcement to do what they need to do. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for due process and putting an end to some of the rampant misuse of power out there, but...
It seems to me that if every person found innocent could sue the government/law enforcement agency for damages and lost time...well, it would make it very hard for these organizations to legitimately investigate a case. Sometimes innocent people are obvious suspects, and the fact that your computer didn't have anything on it doesn't necessarily mean they weren't justified in confiscating it for use in their investigation.
It just sets a pretty complicated precedent...
Gates has actually discounted that rumor several times (one of which can be found here, and I've got to say that it probably *is* untrue, as I really can't imagine anybody ever saying that.

They split into parts. Like AOL, apparently.
Actually, according to the page, it now puts the light on both the machine gun and the shotgun.

I think the grandparent was probably referring to Epiphany rather than Nautilus.

Neither of those sound too great to me...
