Well your choice would be not to purchase those particular CDs then. But if MS and the RIAA team up and only release them in that format, then only Longhorn systems (or ones with a similar client) would be able to play the CDs. Seems unlikely the RIAA would be able to get away with that, and if they did, probably loose more money in the process.
Well it's good to know because I own one. On the bright side if I had ever forgotten my password, I can now retrieve the data. Another point to @stake.
I've been working from home the majority of the time for the past 3+ years. It works out for my company because we are small and there is no overhead cost for a phyiscal office location. When we need a conference room for a planning meeting best done in person, we rent it out, but the majority of the time things can be taken care of over the phone and email.
The thing is, it works out great for me, I eliminate the expense of gas, time caught in traffic, and pay less for auto insurance. Works out great for my employer because I can be more rested, less stressed, and even under a critical deadline, I can have laundry running in the background so I'm able to work more hours. If I can't sleep or am just bored, I can get something productive done.
The benefits are significant, and the trust portion doesn't have to be a big issue. Each day or so, I set goals of what needs to be accomplished. I then either get it done or not. If not, then it is easy to see I wasn't working (aside from normal things that come up occasionally). And as far as setting too easy of goals, well there are co-workers and my past performance. If my goals are not up to par it can be easy to see there too.
The real potential with this procedure is in what else may come from his techniques. While finding a treatment/cure for baldness would be great, if the hair follicle stem cells can be induce into differentiating into other cell types it could provide treatments to countless other diseases and medical problems with much less controversy.
The thing is that the Eclipse compiler could potentially improve the performace even with pre-compiled pages. If the compiler performace better optimizations on the java byte-code generated.
Also if your site uses static includes, that frequently change, this would be a big improvement too.
