Paid subscribers of Hotmail Plus get 2GB of email.
And you wont be waiting long for the 2MB inbox to get larger, the paid subscribers and new users are getting upgraded first, it's an ongoing thing, some users have the upgrade, some don't. The upgrade is in progress.
I would assume free users are getting upgraded last is so that things like your 2MB of mail being deleted due to an upgrade glitch wouldn't make you unhappy.
For all of you waiting for invites...

I know it works, as I just sent 3 invites to their email address, and within 10 minutes someone had already activated the first one. This is a really cool service, and since it's automated, it's easy.
Depends on the license, but usually no it is not illegal to resell software, provided you remove all copies from your hard drive and erase backups that you have made of the software.
You can sell the medium that you bought the content on. You bought the medium, and in doing so were provided with the licensed content.
If while buying a DVD you happen to ask the clerk, "Can I sell this DVD on eBay when I'm done watching it?"
They will most certainly reply, "Of course you can."
But if you never agreed to the license to begin with (IE never installed it, or in some cases, never broke the seal), then you really can do whatever you want - it's physical medium you own and have the right to sell, but the licensed content is not yours to sell.
You need to stop them before they are able to install one peice of code on the system.
1). You can do a few things, namely locking the computers down using the Microsoft Policy Editor (as I am sure you are aware of it's existance).
2). Make sure that no user has administrative access, and that downloading / installing programs is not allowed - if they need programs, that is what their roaming profile is for.
3). Also keeping a image available of every system so that you can restore to a known good working point
4). Invest in a decent SAN and keep the roaming profiles there, ALL documents should be kept on the SAN / roaming profile so that re-imaging the computers when they do get things on them does not cause valuable work to be lost.
Perhaps suggest hiring a freelance IT guy who knows how to do such things if you do not, there are plenty here who need the work.
If you can get to the control panel, display settings, look in the C: drive, change IE options, etc, you're doing things wrong, it's not locked down enough.
Yes it's a pain for the users, but it does alleviate the potential of corporate espionage (don't beleive it doesn't exist, it most certainly does) and also spyware/adware/etc screwing up your computers.
These are just the basics but it's worked fine for the company I work for, after some user adjustments it's actually not that bad. The only thing you loose is the storage on the clients, and possibly a big investment in a SAN ranging from 1TB on up, which can be moderately expensive.
Otherwise, if you're really interested in having her see a geek as a role model, one piece of advice -- why not at least wait until you can get her to successfully add 1 + 1?
Just don't teach her binary at a young age, because I would imagine that teachers do not like their pupils argueing that 1 + 1 = 10.
The other day I was driving around in my car and it stopped running. While it was being repaired I was driving another car that stopped running too! I'm pretty sure that I'm the cause of it.
See where I'm going with this?Yes I do. I have seen women drive before.
The article says the case would be illuminated by R, G and B colored lights, so it could be any color of the spectrum. Very cool! Prior art? Not quite so sure.

The problem is this, that most cell phone providers have an email gateway into their network, as a courtesy and convenience.
For example: 5555551212@provider.net
So what happens is the spammers use the same techniques of spamming regular email addresses but it's too easy to guess an email address with a number that is in a fixed format, a number that doesn't bounce usually incremented by 1 is a good place to goto next.
Rather than have something like a profile setup for my homepage(s), have an option of not only a Home Button but also add in a component for having multiple 'home-like' buttons.
For example: News Home, Shopping/Deals Home, Gaming Home, Email Home
Or not name them home, perhaps just make it available as an option when customizing the toolbar to have a 'home-like' button that would open up a set of webpages simultanously... which in customizing the button, would make things more friendly for someone who routinely visits 25-30 websites on a daily basis.
Currently I'm using the *WONDERFUL* http://url|http://url format of opening multiple websites as my homepage, which works wonders for things that I need usually when I open the browser, but fails when I need to type in URL or lookup bookmarks.
As it is right now, if a save a bookmark or quickbar link as URL: www.1.com|www.2.com|www.3.com, the current implementation only loads the first website.
Is it just me, or do you really don't care about him anymore?
It's a bad dream that just wont go away, some people are so enamored with Kevin that they feel the need to post every story that includes his name.
He's a felon.
One of the first, abeit more publicized and punished geeks, and I really don't care to read stories about him. About the only thing that actually is interesting is that this guy got caught by trying to hack into some other geeks computer, and was traced back to his location.
Amature. Go social engineer some money out of a bank instead of robbing it with a gun, and THEN I'll be interested.
So basically they file lawsuits with as "RIAA vs J. Doe" and then subpena the information from Verizon and then the ISP is required to release the information or be held liable by the court.

What is usually noted in contracts like what NWA probably has is something to the effect of this:
"What we do with your information is subject to change, and those policies are contained within our Privacy Statement. You are required to read an accept the Privacy Statement, if you do not accept the Privacy Statement, then do not sign this contract."
At least that's what Microsoft does. Very implicitly in the.NET Passport TOS:

Backwards compatiblity is the driving factor for any new purchase in my mind.
From the article:
The only Blu-ray recorder currently available in Japan is the Sony BDZ-S77
Google for "Sony BDZ-S77" and hitting I'm feeling Lucky takes you to here:
http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/blu-ray/
And within that article (Decent review by the way) is this:
The drive can record only blu-ray media, but it supports reading of blue-ray, DVD-Video, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs.
So to answer your question, yes they are backwards compatible.
