4. you win.
I guess this is a sign Ballmer and MS are approaching step 3! The sooner the better.
10 Always start by drinking coffee

Fortunately in Europe (unlike the US) you have to be proven guilty before you can be sentenced. And filesharing is nearly impossible to prove. Anyone can come up with a list of ip-numbers....
"limited networking, and will be hobbled to prevent more than three applications running concurrently"
Hey, I'm already running this: XP Proffesional...
Maybe we should bring it back to the store: "It says this CD has copy protection, but that's easily circumvented. I WANT WHAT I PAYED FOR, INCLUDING A DECENT COPY PROTECTION!!!"
Of course reducing the number of triangles in a 3d scene has been thought of and implemented before. What would be useful is a really fast algorithm that can reduce the number of polygons in real-time for object that are far away from the camera.
In that case you can have highly detailed scenes with fast rendering...
Let's hope these cones are not operated by a Microsoft operating system... in that case you could expect:
- the blue cone of death
- regular critical updates and patches
- Online product activation
- non removable embedded media player
I think Axa does not care much of the outcome of the trial. This is simply a cheap form of marketing.

Personally I think open source and paper trail are a bare minimum of e-voting.
The biggest problem is that the people who decide which machines are used, don't agree with this. So, unfortunately, demonstrating such a system will lead to a raction like: "What's wrong with the current voting machines? They are 100% safe!".
If I was Bill Gates now, I'd say: 'Screw Europe, if they don't want Windows my way, we'll stop selling Windows to European customers. Let em drown in that shitty linux crap...'
The idea of storing a set of scripts in an XML file, sound overly trivial to me. Someone must have invented this before M$. I guess there must be some open source project that is using this technique since long before M$ patented this...
"This is a good opportunity for Windows users to migrate to a free desktop."
Again?? I believe last week there was a good opportunity too... had something to do with a virus.

What do we do when tanks attack us?
Right, we strike back with Apaches! Bye, bye, tank!
Quite a long story for simply saying:
If you can play it, you can record it. If it can, people will do it.

Isn't Kylie Minogue Australian? That would explain it, cause everyone want the booklet with the pics....

So they are going to show then new xbox without the hardware? Then, what are they going to show??? An empty box?
Finally I can start making my IPv6toMorse translator. And all Morse users can become part of our cozy internet community!
