It does not work like that. You have to google moviemaker download. There you go. First hit:) Yeah but did you actually visit that first hit?
In the download section on that page, it reads:
Download Instructions
Movie Maker 2.1 is available for download with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). You can download SP2, Movie Maker 2.1, and all future critical updates automatically by turning on the Automatic Updates feature in Windows XP.
You can also download SP2 and Movie Maker 2.1 from Microsoft Update. If you cannot use Automatic Updates or download SP2 via Windows Update, order a CD.
And in the sidebar, it also reads:

So yeah.... from a page called "Windows Movie Maker 2.1 Download", there is no link to download anything.
The CEO always has that clout - he passes down the directive and makes sure it gets done, or else he re-organizes and puts managers and programmers in place who will get it done.
There's only a limited amount of search they can offer. They're not in the business of picking out each and every category you could possibly apply to a movie (shot with exactly 2 cameras, filmed on location in the southern hemisphere, less than 3 curse words spoken per hour, no mention of real-world politicians).
If you want to find movies to rent, go to some site that specializes in really granular movie categorization. Once you find them, look for them on Netflix. If Netflix doesn't have them, write their customer service asking to stock that movie, or pick a different movie from your list.
But the answer for you is to go make a separate account. Considering all the little nuances about your family's renting habits, that convenience HAS to be worth the potential $1/month extra it will cost you.
Sadly you can't preserve is your ratings and recommendations, so that part kind of sucks.
Then the engineers say "Look, the code sucks but it is what it is. It takes us 3 full-time engineers to maintain it as-is. It take 5 full-time engineers 3 months to re-write the system to reduce the required maintenance to 0.5 engineers per week. Also, that new Project X that is the next top priority will be severely impacted by this existing Profile code - so we either need to fix the Profile code for Project X or scrap it all-together. Those are the facts. Now's where you make your management decision on whether we fix profiles or disable profiles."
Your arguments might also be applied to kidnapping victims who develop Stockholm syndrome. They seem happy to be kidnapped, so who are we to say there's a better way to live?
He failed to recognize that improved application start-up time heavily contributes to "system snappiness" ( http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=3287&p=6 )
I've been alluding to the SSD MacBook Pro feeling significantly quicker in overall usage...
Application launch time contributes significantly to the snappiness of a system, and that's one area where the Memoright SSD excels.
Take how long it takes to launch an application with the stock hard drive and cut it in half, because that's what the Memoright MR25.2-128S gives you. Boot time is also similarly reduced, it takes nearly 40 seconds to boot the stock MacBook Pro while the move to SSD brings it down to 22.
Even leasing out the lines would be stepping on the C&D- you can't even allow someone else to be doing what you're told to stop doing using your resources. Even an alternate player leasing the lines out would be in violation. I suggest you carefully read the C&D order.
All it says is "you're operating a private detective company without a license, so you must stop or else we'll press charges."
It doesn't say they're not allowed to hire a licensed private detective company to investigate on their behalf. They could even give the PI their software to use, and lease the PI an office in their building as part of the PI's contract.

AFAICT, this flies in the face of all established US law interpretation. It's quite common for companies to, if prevented by law from doing something, allow their resources to be used by someone who do have a permit to do so. This is perhaps most commonly with liquor and restaurant licenses -- if a restaurant loses its licenses, for whatever reason, the premises are leased to someone who do have the necessary permits. Do you have any references that corroborate your claim? Just like any other company, Mediasentry is allowed to hire a licensed private investigator to do PI work in Massachusetts. Just like a company can hire a licensed lawyer to practice law for them, even if the company itself isn't licensed to practice law.
I doubt that's what happened, though. I think Mediasentry just never stopped the activities that earned them the C&D in the first place.

What makes you think the shareholders had (or in future cases would have) any influence whatsoever over a situation like this?
They probably had nothing to do with it. But what shareholders in their right minds wouldn't ban such behavior in the future? Are you really thinking this one out? Shareholders aren't in any morally right mind. They are profit-minded. Unless this issue makes the companies look bad so the share price goes down, the shareholders would probably prefer this just blow over.
True, I would think only a select few college grads make much over 50k their first year.
But as for that pdf: I wouldn't call those jobs unskilled (posthole diggers, but also masons, electricians, asbestos removers), and as contractors they might not get to work 40 hours a week every week.
Maybe you and your colleagues could start a union?:)
I have an engineering degree, which apparently entitles me to such things as straight no time-and-a-half overtime and less wage than any unskilled union laborer.
...It does get a little daunting when everyone I know who went to college makes less than those who didn't.
Your college degree in engineering does not mean that you automatically provide valuable engineering services to a company.
Your engineering degree only entitles you to write "I have an Engineering Degree" on your job applications. After that, it's up to you to land a good job, impress the right people, earn raises and promotions, or create an invention and monetize it, etc.
If you're truly making less wage than any "unskilled union laborer", then perhaps your business skills are lacking? You might be a genius engineer, but it still takes business smarts to turn that into a profit for you.
The FUN thing about non-profits however is that the people who administer the non-profit ARE entitled to draw a salary for running the thing. After all fair is fair, right? That's why a board of directors controls salaries for the executive employees of the non-profit organization. In principle, they provide oversight and make sure the executives aren't drawing excessive salaries from the organization's revenues. But in practice there's always the chance for corruption or conflict of interest.
Pretty much, and that's why WARF is a non-profit, and any profits they get from patents they license are sent right back to the university for more research.

The idea is to work extra, save money, and use that to buy even more free time down the road (early retirement, for example).
But most people forget the saving part, and spend it as soon as they earn it, and wonder why they feel poor on $150,000 per year.

Why should a stupid person have any less right to choose his representative than a smart person?
Shouldn't that result in fewer patent approvals? It's not like patents just approve themselves.

It may have dinged morale but it would have provided a much needed reality check.
Then a new company-wide directive at MS would come out that they're going to focus on making their current products more usable as their top priority.
Then slowly they'd see some major improvements in their software.
Then all those people who vowed never to work for MS because it produces such crappy software might decide it's time to give MS a second chance.
And everyone wins!
