M$ loses, on the average, at least 10 software piracy cases per year (that is, those cases which are brought against M$)! Now this isn't counting all those cases which aren't so cut-and-dried that M$ can continue to reappeal until said complainants are sued into poverty (recall how they eventually ended up with the name "Internet Explorer").
How about we just cut to the chase, fellows: M$ has always been about licensing others technology (or stealing it), then copying it into their source code (perhaps incorporating it would be a better phrase so as not to step on anyone's feelings), then blowing away the competition who came up with M$'s "newest technology."
I believe that's still considered unethical, and should still be technically illegal....
You are exactly right, all seeing one. Not only are they a global force, but as of 2003 they supplanted AT&T as an official member of the Illuminati! [Official membership: IRS - M$ - US Postal Service]
So if that friendly postal worker gives you a Stepford-like smile and says: "Where do you want to go today?"
At this very moment, Chinese Premier Hu Jinn Tao - please confine your "who" jokes to another post - is meeting with Premier Bill Gates and together they are planning complete and total world domination.
To make Premier Hu feel more at home, the Seattle city government, together with the King County government, is rounding up all the Falun Gong and putting them in a concentration camp. And, just to put icing on the cake they will be burying alive several underage girls to replicate Chinese industry.
Your comment, although thoughtful, would only make sense if the DOD - unfortunately under Donald "the Duck" Rumsfeld's control, didn't act completely unaware of WWII operations [although such misinformation campaigns have been used quite successfully during the past 4 decades - note the "Star Wars" program].
Perhaps you should read what a Real American - co-founder of 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta (Delta Force), Eric Haney, has to say about Cheney/Bush and the Iraqi War.
While I've always considered Marine Corps and Air Force to have the best Special Ops groups - I do agree with Mr. Haney in his opinions.
First of all, they must not be very concerned as so much of their money is going into armaments for war-footing. Secondly, if you bothered to check your history you would find that an imbalance of males to females frequently leads to war and acts of war. Thirdly, with so many multinationals (American, Euro & Japanese) having moved their operations over to China along with transferring their technology there, there is no concern that they need anyone's help - if America, presently a war-based economy, happens to pull out of Iraq (which is the most moral and civilized course), then the economy will most probably collapse!
Your response illuminates your lack of knowledge and, unfortunately, not much else.
The couple also don't tell others in their posh Phoenix neighborhood what they do...
How come everyone always lives in a posh neighborhood?
Am I the only person who lives in a regular neighborhood????? Anyway, anyone who gets kicked out of college for tutoring a female student is OK with me.

I guess they are inferring that DefSec Donald Rumsfeld is proud to have his children tell people what he does for a living? I would think they would be ashamed, assuming he has actually spawned....
Interesting history tidbit - each time the government claimed a specific number of illegal aliens right before an amnesty program (twice in the previous two decades) the actual number turned out to be 3 times the number cited.
I think you are right, but why distinguish between the two Steves, they are both exceptional people (although I've never met either so I can't comment how they stack up in the personality department.)

Geeezz....I got: "All your booz are bilge"
It may be dark and stink like a mutha in here, but at least it's warm.

My answer would have been that sometimes I forget and pee on myself..then make a joke about it!
Everyone knows that this test was developed by a mother-daughter team, right? Kinda kinky....

Gee...do you think these facts mean anything???

Strictly speaking, it's just for the touristas.

Quickly turn and walk the other way.
Who cares about the software????
The actual reason Chinese Premier Hu is visiting is Gates is due to Microsoft (M$) being China's chief tech censor. 'Nuff said about the obvious....

Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannedy and Ann Coulter (all the aforesaid being draft-dodgers, as well)
Look for around 33 million illegal aliens.
I suspect you meant: Integral Changes...
I think he means he uses Windows XP....
Actually, 62% and growing, but why quibble over a few percentage points...

China has, and will continue to, keep labor costs artificially low because they are a dictatorship!
Give my regards to Osama, dude!
But when China's domination becomes all too apparent - it won't be without the collusion of American, Euro and Japanese multinationals.
'Nuff said. (Say, did you mean xenophobic??? Zenophobic is fear of Zen, as in Buddhist zen spirit.
