This is one of the major ways Microsft has stayed on top. The are great at collecting the best ideas from many sources and implementing them in their own software. Often implementing these ideas better than the orginal. Microsoft isn't stupid. They're always watching the market to learn how to do things better.
He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:16-17
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Revelation 14:9-11
The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
Revelation 16:2
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:4
I am a Christian and this stuff does concern me. We have the technology to make prophecy come true.
What kind of drugs are you on? MSN is by far the largest instant messenger user base in the world. MSN Messenger has become synonymous with instant messaging. Just because the Linux world uses AIM, it doesn't mean it's the industry standard. The average population use MSN exclusively. My current contacts ratio is about 10:1 (MSN vs other programs). I use Trillian so I'm impartial to any of the protocols. I may not like MS but they basically own IM.
One of the major reasons is because of availability. I love AMD's. Their bang for the buck is unmatched. But the problem is that many vendors still do not offer AMD chips. We use a lot of Dell machines. Dell doesn't sell AMD. Dell has a great support network, drivers, etc etc so it outweighs some of the chip savings. Even our white box vendor is only using Intel chips to streamline deployment and warranty issues. I'm searching for a good vendor that sells AMD chips in my area. C'est la vie.
It's true. We just got a brand new color Ricoh copier and I tested it with a $20 bill (Canadian). Print came out all yellow. I don't quite know how they do it but it works.
In the grand scheme of things Europe is small potatoes. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is. So is North and South America. Asia is the new superpower continent. With China and India coming in at 2.2 billion people or so. Asia is estimated at 3.7 billion people, over half of the world's population. Japan seems like a much more logical choice if it's based on "useful" places, whatever that really is.
I wonder how this could be utilized in specialized fields? Could different departments have specialized interfaces? So that their most used functions are close at hand. Could this even be adjusted on a per patient basis? This could really save lives if a doctor/nurse wants to have critical information displayed quickly without digging through a mountain of menus. I know dialysis machines already have GUI's, but I doubt they have this level of ease of design.
If you look at BullyMag's estimates for profits of iTunes: 65 cents in royalty payments. Also bandwidth, media delivery, salaries, credit card fees etc etc is another 10 cents per song. This leaves about 24 cents per song. 24 cents x 1 million downloads = $240,000. That's just from the windows downloads. If you calculate all 14 million downloads, that's $3.36 million.
In Canada we're still stuck with changing numbers when we switch carriers. There's no changes planned either. Is my phone number my property or the telephone company's? I can take my home number though with me when I change my home phone company but not my cellular number. This would really be helpful at work. Anyone know of any pending or proposed changes?
What a load of crap! Barwatch, a coalition of Vancouver bar and nightclub owners, Already the bars scan your driver license. This not hooked to the police system. This is a voluntary system that bars participate in and share information with each other. Do you realize how much fights, stabbings, and shooting cost a bar? We've had a lot of bars closed because of this. I live in Vancouver and I've seen it happen. People here are fed up with the losers getting into the clubs and ruining a good night. If it was hooked up to the police, then yes, I'd freak out. It's a violation of our privacy rights in Canada. Everything else is tracked by those points cards from everystore. Does my safety outweigh the privacy I am giving up? You decide...

Hey.
I'm not a lumberjack,
or a fur trader...
and I don't live in an igloo
or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...
and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada,
although I'm certain they're really, really nice.
I have a Prime Minister,
not a President.
I speak English and French,
NOT American.
and I pronouce it ABOUT,
NOT A BOOT.
I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.
I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.
DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation,
AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.
A TOQUE IS A HAT,
A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!
CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!

It runs on IIS though! This is like opening a whole new can of worms. I work with MS products everyday. My servers are MS. I generally like MS products. (GASP!) But I'm no fool, IIS has more holes than swiss cheese.
Tivo's are great but I have issues with the company itself. We've been waiting for Tivo here in Canada (and other countries , ie New Zealand) for a long time. I don't think it's their obligation to provide service here but they haven't really haven't done anything to help. There currently is a community of Tivo users outside of the service area who hack the Tivos so we can load our own local listings. We'd gladly pay for the service if it was available, since it's a hundred times easier to use this service than hack the Tivo. I wish they'd support some sort manual updating. Could they give back a little to the open source community?
Of course I could be wrong...
This could also be a great help to reduce fatigue related accidents on farms. I have friends that are farmers and during harvest times they routinely work 18+ hours driving harvesting machinery. Often a worker falls asleep at the wheel and has caused thousands of dollars in damage, not to mention the potential for human injuries or death. These tractors could keep these routine tasks safer and maybe in the long run cheaper too.
Did George Orwell ever imagine a world where the populace itself would become the Big Brother of the government? It's 1984 in reverse. Quite ironic really. I wonder how the politicians will react. Increased privacy laws? We'll see. Maybe not in my lifetime though...
Where would this bill have any jurisdiction? A national bill really seems to be the only way to deal effectively with the problem, even though it's a step in the right direction. This doesn't affect the huge amounts of spam coming from Asian countries either.

What does it cost to have this done? What are the monthly saving each month?

When will this trailer be in theatres? What movies will it be playing before? I want to see this on the big screen.
If all goes according to plan, a new product the company dubs Core System Software (CSS) will serve as the foundation of PC architecture.
When will we have DeCSS?
>> IMHO reviews are not worth the time and effort to read. Go see the film yourself and decide. That's the only way.
So what did you think of Gigli?
Those weren't reviews, those were obituaries.
What country and/or state was this case filed in? The article doesn't provide specifics.
