While your post was commendably encyclopedic in nature, there was one point you neglected to cover:
Be sure to license as many other companies' software as possible and then copy that software into your own OS, claiming you are adding "new" and "innovative" features.
One serious comment this time: I think it has been quite awhile since M$ could find the best programmers in America to work for them due to the manner in which Gates & Co. behave towards the American programmer. Probably, good programmers (not great ones) joined M$ up until about '94 or '95, then people began to realize the M$ agenda in bringing in all those East Asians (Indians and Paks), etc.
Earth to Indian dude (if you really are such) ---- how about you guys - instead of forever scavenging other country's citizens jobs (jobs which derived from those citizens helping to build up said corporations) -- create your own software industries and software companies and stop acting like such a pack of wild hyenas?????
Of course, perhaps the only software you can actually produce is similar to that Godawful Samna word processing stuff - the one time I came into contact with it I recall the pathetic documentation and hanging subprograms and submenus that led to nowhere......
Seriously, though, we don't have any right to "God-given technology jobs" - and the greedy megacorporations don't have any right whatsoever to corporate welfare and tax giveaways, nor does Ms. Fiorina and Mr. Gates have a God-given right to walk down the street securely when the people who made those streets secure are now impoverished thanks to all that outsourcing......
I can't recall but one or two companies/corps I've ever worked at that weren't evil. AND NEWSFLASH, M$ has done numerous evil things which have been recorded at this site, please reread or do some fundamental research.....
You know, I recall something like this back in the late '70s or early '80s when some clown nobody had ever heard of before, was supposed to be some kind of genius because some stupid, ignorant newsy with The Washington Post newspaper proclaimed him as such, predicted he was going to create the most advanced information-gathering computer system mankind had every seen.
If some super-technoid genius exists who is over the age of 18, many of us will have already heard of him or her.
Obviously, this ain't the one -- not even by a long shot.....
Anybody note this issue of Scientific American rebukes that silly urban legend that we typically only use 10% of our brains??? That fiction also derived from another stupid newsy back in the '40s; probably the father or grandfather of that Washington Post clown. (Anyway, I used at least 11% of my brain.)
Once upon a time - Fremont was Seattle's hippie district - now it's the home to Adobe's Seattle facility - mostly Indians and Paks (where's the diversity when everyone comes from the same two countries).
Good coffee can longer be found anywhere there since Starbucks (the other evil empire) shut down the local Torrefazione cafe. Nope, Fremont has long since been sadly gentrifried - with the emphasis on "fried"....
And to some of those earlier posters - I guess it takes an "Einstein" to know how to correctly spell "Einstien"....

While I don't disagree with the gist of these postings I wish to clear up that urban legend about Einstein - that patent clerk job he had was a very prestigious job at that time - the term "clerk" meant something entirely different in the context of that period - it would be more akin to a patent attorney - or head of the patent office - today. And FYI, Einstein was a straight "A" student - I once saw his early school records in a display case in a German library years ago when I was bumming around Europe.
Excuse me, and I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I believe this was proven long ago by Dr. Who and his TARDIS. Anybody care to refute me?????
In context to what you posted: Einstein contradicted himself, unfortunately. He stated that the universe is round (or spherical) while also stating that the speed of light is constant. The universe is round because gravity bends light. Anything acted upon by gravity is always affected by it. Ergo, the speed of light must be inconstant. Please reflect upon this and extrapolate accordingly.....
I am so glad this article finally came to the light of day. This has been weighing heavily on my mind for centuries. Finally, we'll know the answer to this. Now I can go back to occupying my thoughts with whether Mariah Carey is natural, or the result of silicone implants.......
I take it you've read Scott Westerfeld's "Peeps" - a supposedly juvenile-level suspense fiction but nonetheless a very excellent read on evolutionary medicine and recommended....

Me thinks it would be smarter to ally oneself with the mice population - they'd soon circumvent mankind's puny new mousetraps.....
Since so many Reuters' news jobs have been outsourced to India - I think I'll pass on the article. Thanks anyway.
