You are perfectly free to starve to death living under a highway overpass without ID. However, if you want to buy a home, open a bank account, travel on a commercial airline, fly a private plane, or drive a car or a boat, you need government-issued identification.
You'd have to be pretty stupid to bet your company on research that MS already has complete knowledge of and patents on, considering their history of appropriating other people's research once it had started making money. MS cannot stand to see another company making money that rightfully belongs to them. They will either drive you out of business, buy you, cancel or ignore your contract.
That being said, I'm sure that a lot of this is driven by the researchers and academics and MS Research, who are accustomed to being able to give their work away because that's how universities operate. A researcher's biggest asset is his or her reputation; getting the research widely disseminated and used is how he or she augments that reputation and it's where the next job is going to come from. MS is no doubt discovering that it cannot keep good researchers unless it allows them to disseminate their work.
When I worked at Data General, the coders called the new OS "AOS". Then the marketing department renamed it "IRM" for "Intelligent Resource Management". That was till Roland Findlay started drawing pictures of IRM's (kind of like worms with arms). After that the marketing geniuses backed down and the product was released as AOS.
So, programmers don't have a monopoly on silly names.
This bank is obviously very sleazy and deceptive. If you cannot get your money back and get the account closed by going through management, complain to the state banking regulators. Also, you can have a lot of fun by printing up 100 copies of this article and standing on the city sidewalk outside the bank and handing copies to their next 100 customers. I'd take out the personal disrespect of the bank teller; he can't help being old and nervous.
I absolutely agree with the carriers. Governments do not provide service; they take money from taxpayers and use it to pay for services that not all taxpayers want. In this case, this is a wealth transfer from people who don't use wi-fi to people who do, so the beneficiaries of this policy are quite likely wealthier than the people it hurts.
The taxing power of the state is the power to throw someone out of their home at gunpoint if they can't or won't cough up the money. It should be used only where absolutely necessary, for the benefit of all, not just that of gen-X yuppies so they can download tunes onto their IPODS without stopping at Starbucks.
The money is not backed up by anything other than people's willingness to use it, so for the currency to be stable, it's important that people see it as the same thing that they recognize as value..
There's all kinds of political speech that would have been impossible without anonymous publication. The Federalist Papers, for example, were published largely anonymously.
Not really sure why the informative comment gets modded down while our civility-challenged friend here remains unchanged; but in any case Grub is a really good piece of work.
Google the subject for an account of all the mom-and-pop operations (clothing stores, cookie vendors, etc) that Monster Cable has sued. I wouldn't buy a cable from them if it was the last cable on earth.
Even a week is OK if you are positive it will be done and working at the end, but in my experience, it took 72 hours and it was broken at the end. Fedora was broken at the time -- maybe it has improved. SUSE wanted to reformat my entire drive. I went back to Slackware -- fast and tranparent installation and management.
The boot manager that Gentoo uses (forget what it's called) is better than LILO, though.
There are lots of documented cases of perjury; throw them in jail just like Martha Stewart. Take away their licenses to practice law just like Bill Clinton.
This is easy -- get a degree in some subject matter that interests you. Accounting, chemistry, anything. Or learn to fly and get a job at air traffic control -- pay is great, hours are good, retire in 20 years.
Amen, once the government gets involved they will drive all the private operators out of business. Just like they did the subways in New York, which were started by people brave enough to risk their own money rather than everyone else's.

These organizations probably get a price break from M$FT in exchange for blocking users of anything else.

This is why democracy is like two wolves and a sheep voting on who's for dinner.

Presumably I should also be grateful to my central government for not deciding to kill me.

What about pencils, coat-hangers, car keys, hair-spray (great blowtorch!), electrical cords,
briefcase straps, bowling balls, teeth, and fingernails?
Beside, Congress members don't not even read the bills they pass, why should they read letters?

Isn't that called perjury?

What I want to know is, what lunatic Idi-Amin-on-crystal-meth invented MAKEMEM?
Yanks?
Here's the original IDC report which has a somewhat more organized picture as well as more data.
To put it another way, they are claiming 22000 amps of output at 110 volts from a 14x10 foot cell.
That's enough to run 220 houses at 100 amps each.
