I'll give you one case of NTFS being irrecoverable with built-in Microsoft Tools. Do you remember when Vista SP1 was bricking computers? That was caused by an error in the CLFS that was not repairable by any Microsoft computer, XP and below didn't know there was a problem and Vista BSoD (0xC1F5) when attempting to mount the drive.
The fix? You had to mount the drive using ntfs-3g on a *nix box and delete the contents of the \$Extend\$RmMetadata\$TxfLog directory. GG MS. Took me HOURS to figure that one out.:P
Because for fusion you need heat, pressure, and fuel. The sun's gravity provides the pressure required, here on earth we need to expend energy to make that pressure, which is why we haven't came up with a self sustaining version of fusion here on earth.
According to Microsoft's SEC Filings page net income has gone up 65% as advertised. Revenue went up 32%. This is as compared with the Windows XP launch that saw Revenue up 18% and net income actually *down* 13%. However(!), Windows XP was released about a month after 9/11, in a very unstable economic period, which presumably caused the 50% jump in "Cost of Revinue" and the near fourfold increase Administrative Expendetures, whereas the total outlays for 1st quarter 2007 were only up 11%. Also Windows 2K and ME were still being sold on consumer machines; plus, Windows XP was released in the 4th quarter, versus Vista in the first quarter, though canonically that means that Windows XP should come out ahead though.
Conclusion, there is no good way to compare the release of XP to the release of Vista. Let's try something different. 98 vs. Vista. It's 3rd quarter vs. 1st quarter, around the same economic situation, no competing product, and no massive terrorist attack. 98 showed a 26% increase in revenue and a (get this) 155% increase in net income.
Actually, I always thought it was funny that there are 3 Grand Tetons. Whoever the Frenchman was that named that range had been watching too much Total Recall.

Grammar Nazi says, "yes, twice."
I say, "Nice ad hominem. But maybe I'm just for accuracy in word usage, and against manipulating words. Sure to you "copyright infringement" and "stealing" may be synonymous. But according to the thesaurus, so is "friendly" and "intimate." And I'm all for all drinking buddies to start referring to their relationship as "intimate" rather than "friendly." Mostly because it'd be damn funny."
Long story short, yes, whenever the RIAA sues a 12 year old, or a person without a computer, or what have you, I get offended. I get offended when they call musicians "artists" in order to drum up a pity party for them, while they themselves stab the musicians, about whom they've gone red face defending to the public, right between their C7 and M1 vertebra. I even get offended when the RIAA sues an actual copyright infringer, because it's extortion, and it's defamation. It's extortion because of the money, it's defamation because they're calling them thieves rather than what they actually are, copyright infringers. They aren't even really pirates.
As to your moot (in the actual definition sense of the word, not the colloquial) point about it being theft because of the lack of payment, let's examine the following scenario. I have a CD which isn't being produced anymore. It's still under copyright. But I can't purchase it anywhere. eBay doesn't have it. But I find a.torrent and a seeder. Is this theft? Is the action I am taking depriving the poor, starving artist of a few dollars? No, because there's no where I can buy it that the artist would get any money off of the transaction, if I do find a copy off of eBay the artist wouldn't get any money off of it anyway. But it wouldn't be legal. Because I'm still infringing on the record company's copyright (not the musician's he had to sign that away to get a contract.) Copyright infringement and stealing aren't a perfect overlap.
If I went down the street and mugged a musician, I'd be stealing from him. If I broke into his house and copied all of the information written down on his fridge's postit notes, and then left, leaving everything as it was when I arrived, am I stealing from him? No. But I am guilty of breaking and entering and perhaps attempted blackmail. You don't have to steal something from someone to be in the wrong. I mean for chrissakes, if it were stealing, then stealing is a criminal offense, the RIAA would be sending these people to jail instead of simply suing them. The RIAA knows it doesn't have a case on theft. Why do you think they do?
Copying music is illegal and it's wrong. But it's not theft. Maybe you think I'm being pedantic, perhaps you think I'm hiding behind semantics. Remember the difference between "friendly" and "intimate." By blowing the RIAA trumpet on this nonsense and marching to their tune you're really just undermining your own rights. And that's not a horn, it's a little more "friendly" than that.
In conclusion, I'm not rationalizing a goddamn thing, copyright infringement is illegal, and in most cases wrong. Stop being an elitist prick. My semantics seek only to prove that the RIAA is being manipulating the media in the name of profits, it's manipulating you, and it tried to manipulate me. So, as long as you let them set the way you talk, they'll set the way you think. Newspeak 101.
Anyway, with all this wind and water moving, how do they find a 21mm cable 2.5 miles down? A rope that far would bend under air resistance, let alone water resistance. I think some high technology went into this somewhere. Kudos on not making it too complicated. KISS at work.
Going into Home Depot and putting a screwdriver in your bag and leaving is stealing. A screwdriver was manufactured. Materials and labor went into the process, ones that are no longer available after the product is purchased. You can't endlessly copy a single screwdriver at no cost.
On the other hand, you can copy music again and again and again, just like software, at no cost. Monetarily, that means if I copy my friend's CD, or grab it off of the net, the loss you incur because of that is zero. You don't profit off of it. But you don't lose anything either. Unlike if I steal a screwdriver, which costs money to be manufactured again.
And that, succinctly, is the reason why it's called copyright infringement, rather than stealing. Both are against the law, but the word stealing is more emotionally charged, so the *AA are pushing it. Just like they call musicians "artists." And then stab them in the back. If you're so pissed about people stealing from you, you should first examine them. As "fraud" and "predatory tactics" are closer to "stealing" than "copyright infringement." That or examine your navel and stop posting to/. mmmk?
But what good is that? There's only 10000 possible pins, for current computers that can do millions of hashes a second that's a bit on the useless side.

dada, do you really support a Wal*Mart for education? Honestly, the schools are broken, but there's better ways to fix the blasted thing than to completely abolish it and "let free market work its wonders."
Here's a clue. Wal*Mart can charge so little for two reasons: they are gigantic, and their product are crap.
For point one, the government is gigantic. For good or bad, they do have the infrustructure already in place to handle this shit. We aren't funding our schools enough. I mean for fuck's sake I don't have a degree and I make better money than most teachers, and I'm only 21. No one of skill will want to be a teacher unless it pays well, passion for the job only stretches so far.
And here's a news flash, making all schools private won't decrease the cost. I swear, what do you think there is left to cut? Instead, you'll have the overhead of: turning a profit, advertising, and appeasing parents. Remember, if you privatize the school system, it's no longer the children who are the customer, it's the parents. It's no longer about actually doing what's best for the child, it's about showing the parents you are doing what's best for the child, whether or not what's actually best for the child gets done.
For point two, sometimes you only need something crappy because you need it now, and you probably won't need it later. Education is not one of those things. What you're promoting with the privatization of schools, whether or not you realize it, is throwaway education. It's an education even more heavily geared towards passing standardized tests than we have currently, because the school's financial solvency depends upon it. And you know grade fraud will be more widespread than it is currently, because the school's financial solvency depends upon it. And what do you propose we do to fight it? Government Regulation?
In conclusion, dada, you're a hyper-conservative blowhard who has been listening to far too much Neil Borts, or Sean Hannity, or Rush Limbaugh, or whatever the hell you listen to, who probably still thinks the "Fair Tax" is a good idea, in spite of how rediculously broken it is. And you would do well to have an actual reevaluation of your stances after you figure out what the fuck is going on. kthxbai.

So, as good as Vista's doing, 98 did better.
