Microsoft is just using an excuse to squeeze out the competition. The purpose of IM is to be able to connect with your friends while online, but there is no point if we are not using the same program. They think by forcing people to use messenger by linking it to outlook express, they would gain the full IM market, just like what they did against Netscape Navigator. They sure do not need the extra money
IT is in projects like this that company can put behind their past prejudices and start on a new foot. After all the new generation may not remember the grudges of the last, and even if the outcome of this cooperation is a failure, everybody still has something to gain
How on earth would you use silk as a substitute for kevlar? How much of the stuff would actually be needed to block a single round? It does not seem feasible to me, but it would be great! Strong yet lightweight. It is amazing that something so natural is superior to so call 'technology'
