But there isn't actually anything new here as far as I can see. Look at for example Compuserve v Cyberpromotions (Samford Wallace). It said exactly the same thing.
Welcome to Europe then, where the cheapest VAT rate is 15% (Luxembourg and Cyprus). It is 17.5% in Britain which is the 4th cheapest rate, and the most expensive rate is Denmark and Sweden at 25%.
Peak times may be daylight hours, but not necessarily daylight hours in the same place as the data centre. Remember that Google is a worldwide operation.
In any case, most ISPs round here think peak time is 6pm to midnight, which isn't necessarily during day light.
In England, Magistrates sitting alone find around 90% of defendants guilty, whereas juries find about 60% of defendants guilty. So you are better getting a jury trial if you can.
There is also the issue that if Microsoft pays over the odds for Yahoo, where does that money come from.
It is easy to see that Yahoo shareholders benefit, but this extra benefit comes out of the Microsoft shareholders' pockets. The only time it wouldn't is if there are synergies to be obtained from merging the two companies. That could happen, but it is more likely that there will be diseconomies of scale as a result of the merger, and the total amount lost by Microsoft shareholders will be more than what Yahoo shareholders gain.
All the Blackberries, HTCs, Nokia Communicators etc that I see on the train every day would disagree with you.
Perhaps in the US were you have only recently discovered GSM, things may be different, but in the rest of the world, we have had phones like that for about 12 years now.
Mu iPaq doesn't have lock in. I bought it direct from HP rather than from a phone company, and then got a SIM only contract from O2 which is less than half the price of the iPhone contract. The phone cost £320 vs £270 for the iPhone, and in at least some areas, has more features - it has GPS, a keyboard, Exchange push support, the ability to add Blackberry support, and the ability to write your own software on it using Visual Studio or possibly Mono.
The allow/deny stuff in 2008 server asks for your administrator password in much the same way that Red Hat does. It is an improvement over 2003 server in that you don't have to log out of your user account and log in as administrator to do admin stuff, you just elevate the privileges as you need them.
You won't be watching HD videos on 2008 server, and if 2003 is anything to go by, graphics performance won't be up to much anyway.
Then Yahoo Mail will become Windows Live Mail @yahoo.com addresses will become a log-in option for Live Messenger Yahoo Finance will become MSN Money Flikr will become Live Flikr, and Live Gallery will move across to it
I expect you would end up going to mail.live.com and logging in with a yahoo.com address and password.
Having said that, if the anti-trust authorities in the US and EU do block the deal, it is most likely to be on the personal email provider market. Possibly they would end up having to sell the email and messenger services to another company for the deal to go through.
But Microsoft usually buys really small companies with good products where they can use their marketing skills to build up market share. Yahoo is a bit different to their usual takeover target.
PC World, the largest computer store in Britain, issued a profits warning which said that people didn't want to buy their computers because they had Vista on them.
People aren't buying Windows Vista and Office 2007 because they have Windows XP and Office 2003 that does the job just fine, and possibly better, and it costs nothing to continue using it. None of their other attempts to diversify - Zune, X Box, Windows Live etc have been very succesful, so there are problems ahead.
They aren't bankrupt yet, but they are taking action to try and avoid it while they still can.

As in "caught red handed"?
Isn't the vi vs emacs war so 1980s?
Personally I much prefer kate or gedit, or openoffice.org.
Greenham isn't that isolated. It is a few miles from Newbury, which is the home of Vodafone, the largest telephone company in the world.

Fahrenheit 911 is where I found that out from.
Which is why they are attacking the endpoints ...

College students doing maths and science related courses? At high school level, that is pretty much everyone.

Because you can use it on your work computer, at an internet café, etc?
And if you are set up for that, you can use hotwayd to read your hotmail on any pop3 enabled email client. I use Kontact along with it.

There is no way that anti-trust authorities would allow Google to buy Yahoo.
Microsoft may have to spin off Yahoo's email and messaging products for the deal to get through, but apart from that, it should be fine.
Initially it will be Microsoft Yahoo.
Then Yahoo Mail will become Windows Live Mail
@yahoo.com addresses will become a log-in option for Live Messenger
Yahoo Finance will become MSN Money
Flikr will become Live Flikr, and Live Gallery will move across to it
etc
I use uk.finance.yahoo.com for my stock prices and kelkoo.co.uk for shopping price comparison. Both are much better than their google equivalents.

You mean like Norwich Union http://www.norwichunion.com/pay-as-you-drive/index.htm?

From talking to my non slashdot-reading friends, this may well be the year of the Mac.
