I would have to assume that Microsoft wants the corporate people to pay for the SP (and thinks that they can get away with it because of the CALs already being paid for and such), but I hope I'm wrong. That would be evil.

I think it's also a kind of book, for instance used when "catching up" on a university subject before classes start... which might be applicable in this title.
Doesn't work like that in Canada - the debit card is tied to the pin number. There have been incidents where unscrupulous people have stolen both the data in the magnetic strip AND intercepted the pin number, but that's fairly rare. They can't, however, steal the magnetic data alone. The pin is required.
What people don't understand is that these people will try to make/steal money in any way they possibly can. And, let's face it, 419ing people is relatively low-risk compared to arms trading.
I think "the mob" are more high tech than people believe.
Have you seen a little series of movies known as Generations, First Contact, and Nemesis? They could have been so much more, but instead they were just people scampering around in their pajamas and using light-beam weapons. Whoopie.
... Ballmer, the over-excited monkey-boy, is going to steer the company towards its eventual demise. Well, not many companies with 56 billion in cash can actually die, but it can easily fade into obscurity.
My theory is that Microsoft needs to behave like Starbucks. They need to open little locations all over the world, which cater to small and medium businesses... kind of like UPS, actually. And then all the mini-Ballmers can walk around with onions on their belt and reminisce about taking the ferry to Shelbyville.
Er, where was I? Oh, yes. The memo is bland and boring, just like Ballmer's management style. The only reason the monkeyboy clip exists is because he was trying way too damn hard to conceal his true TQM leanings. Ballmer will not revitalize Microsoft. I could, I think. But he can't.
Steve, can I have your job for about three months? It wouldn't be enough time to effect a proper change, but darn it would be fun to have a slashdot reader in charge.:)
I'm sorry, but the Peter Gunn Theme in MIDI format moved me. Therefore, I must disagree. Also, for people who can read sheet music as well as normal people can read books ("normal" being increasingly above-average these days), I'm sure the written notes can move them as much as the words of JRR Tolkein or Isaac Asimov can move a geek. Perhaps more.

Migration plans are seldom free, even if the operating system is.
I think that quote alone makes me want to see the movie. :)
Now if I could just find a wealthy benefactor ...
Winky emoticon implies sarcasm or at least some sort of humour involved. :)

The laser pointer idea was funny, though.
... but what if someone broke into your business/home and ransacked it, and the camera had been your only hope of seeing whodunnit? Hmm? Hmm? ;-)
I've also observed that actual blueprints can also serve as blueprints for terrorist attacks.
Therefore, I demand that all architectural project blueprints be destroyed immediately!
Also, this means that UML is a terrorist threat.

I would also like to see an Online Eye Dee Ten Tee Registry.
George W. Bush has an MBA. From Harvard, no less.
But did you watch Firefly in-order, instead of Fox's fuckled-up scheduling?
*ahem* SerenITY, not SerenTITY. There's a difference. *chides self*

Ah, ye olde KHAAAAAN! equation.
My opinion is that Joss Whedon is what B&B can never be; a quality writer who cares about the material.
:)
That's why I plan to eschew Star Trek movies in favour of Serentity, due out in 2005.
omg, not INTERFEREONS! And interfereometric waves!

And I thought people named "Verner" went out with the apollo program?
You brat.
Except that his illogical statement has a built-in inhibitor to prevent a logic overflow. That is ... comments aren't really part of "the article". :)

Sorry, if you just imagine playing Duke Nukem Forever, you collapse it into a wave function and the game never gets finished.
Or something. Look, a monkey!
Wow, what an awesome news story, I shall add it to my blog immediately.
