to specific patterns of network activity, then I would love to hear the Barry White-like sounds that the system would produce by monitoring all the pr0n coming through my Exchange server at work.......
is to make the metadata attatched to document files viewable only on the Vista installation it was created on. Perhaps it would be possible to have the operating system strip the data off the files that are being copied or moved to other network locations as a precursor to each respective process. In this case, they would also have to work some kind of functionality into the next iteration of Outlook, so that the problem could be stemmed from the email side of things.
What 3rd party vendors would do to accomodate this is anyone's guess.
You got a quote by ol' Gen'ral Sherman on your sig......well, since you are of native blood, then you should be aware of another quote that he is known for:
"The more [Indians] we can kill this year, the less will have to be killed the next year, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or be maintained as a species of paupers."
Perhaps the thing will tumble from the sky into the middle of the ocean. That would accomplish what a lot of people would like to see done. (A government conspiracy to end it at work here? hmmmmmm.) There are many arguments on either side of this coin that are valid, but I for one am going with the school of thought that says that our commitment to this station is something that is impeding the progress of our space mission. I would hate to see all of the effort and money that has thus far been expended gone to waste, but I would also like to see future opportunities for exploration made available. If you want to save something, save Hubble for crying out loud.
Phase 1: Help China harden it's information rights policy by catering to it's search restrictions, then, give them political leverage by legitimizing the Chinese claim to Taiwan (and collect underpants).
Phase 2: Wait on them to acheive true superpower status.
Phase 3: Profit!
"Apple could also simply start their own music label and really rock the industry."
Nope, sorry, they signed a deal with The Beatles' Apple record company saying that they would not invest in any type of music venture. If I recall, that is being debated now in regards to the current iTunes business.
then we all should know how the concept of frontier explortation has unfolded over history. When the early European explorers found our little rock over here, the first thing they did was check it out. The next thing they did was build a military presence on it.
It is only logical to assume that the human exploration of space will follow the same human pattern as before.
that there will be one line of code written today that will require copyright protection in 70 years time? But then again, it's good to have a nice buffer...
It does not matter how many warp drives, alternate realites, laser guns, or jedi mind tricks a science fition work has...it all comes down to how the story is used to help the audience explore some segment of actual human nature. The science should be there to compliment the characters, not overtake them. What the hell good is a story if it does not give you a new perspective on your own existence/nature? If you want to strictly predict future technologies, that is what essays and doctoral thesis' are for. Sci-Fi is an opiate for the masses? Perhaps, but you can apply that label to many different genres of film and literature.
approach their collective visions of how want you, the consumer, to run your digital life. Microsoft, like Apple and Google, want to control as many aspects of your digital experience as possible. Microsoft, while creating a simple to use environment, inundates the user with MS preferred content, unreliable functionality, and the company itself has turned into a bloated beauracracy that has the mindset of BIG BIG AND BIGGER. Google, on the other hand, has a different type of corporate mindset: Functional, Simple, Streamlined, Unobtrusive advertising, and I think it can be said that as compared to MS, those people have the mindsets of young and forward thinking innovators. Apple, perhaps is somewhere in between. They want to make functional, powerful equipment that is considered "Cool" to use.
When it comes to aggregating technology and services into individual devices, you can be rest assured that MS wants to do it in a manner that will try to dummy the user into accepting its rule unknowingly and lovingly, and it's competitors, say Apple in particular, will cater to a more refined and discriminating user (or perhaps one with more money to burn than the rest). I think however, they will prevail in this battle. While more expensive, the software quality, as opposed to MS, as well as the "Cool" factor (being the growing underdog napping at the heels of a giant, seriously, what is so cool about using MS stuff, hell, that is for the office) will ultimately come out ahead. I don't think MS is going to totally die a massive death, but at some point, if they do not alter the way they market and build their products (with the old tech mindset) they will certainly lose a massive chunk of the market.

but little is known that both companies are trying to stake their claim in the video market as well
Well, they do make VIDEO cards, don't they?
As one of those geeks under him; I say you are correct!

all we need now are four horsemen, and a Babylonian whore, and we've got us the Apocalypse!
I tried putting one in my town on SimCity, and it did nothing but cause problems.
Yeah, but what about the numerous articles on Microsoft? Even though most of them have that borg connotation, it's still publicity....

next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day, so if you want, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.
then the view thus far is crappy.

and all will work out in the end
Star Wars episode 3.5......the search for more money.
Think of what we can now do with Electronic porn...
Microsoft should soon be making this technology available worldwide with model 666.
That is precisely what I meant. Check out the Wikipedia entry on IBM and PS/2 for details. It was a monumental failure.
Gee, I guess that whole PS/2 thing WAS a bad idea after all........
