Visual Studio can develop software for Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6. How many more platforms do most people want?
It could be something to do with the French being so anti-American? Certainly anti-Americanism is growing in the rest of Europe, but the French invented it.
Gimp is certainly not a shining example of user-interface design. There is a reason why Adobe is still the market leader, and I don't think it is the feature list.
Webserver 2008 is an additional version entirely separate to Ultimate, where it joins versions such as Small Business, Standard, Enterprise and Data Centre. Webserver is to 2008 what Home Basic is to Vista.
Well there are more people in the world than there are IPv4 addresses, and in many countries, there are more cell phones than people. It would be quite reasonable to have every cell phone ultimately having its own IP address. Add to that your work and home computer, your work and home telephone and so on, and you see why we need more IP addresses.
There isn't really that much in the way of reverse engineering involved. You just need to know what coupons the till accepts at the moment, and print out the one you like the best.
If you look at for example Thresher Wine Shop in the UK from last year (holiday season 2006-7), they had a problem with people distributing discount coupons all over the internet.
My job involves emailing people from time to time, and downloading work related information from websites. I expect a lot of people have jobs like that. A sex offender wouldn't be allowed to do my job.
Advertisers don't place their ads with other agencies because they don't have any sites that take their ads. Sites don't take ads from other agencies because they don't have any ads to put on their sites.
But you're a Slashdotter, so you can cope with difficult to install things. I first tried Red Hat 11 years ago, and while I managed to install it, eventually, I couldn't get it to do anything useful, other than compile a short program with gcc. It wasn't until I installed SuSE about 7 years ago, that I could get it to do anything useful, and without a great deal of effort. That's around the time consumers first had a real choice.
In the EU, the definition of a monopoly is that they have a > 25% market share. Google certainly have that with the doubleclick deal.
And so what if the EU are trying to build their own search engine. Government IT projects aren't known for being successful, and I can't see that this one will be any different from any of the other ones.
I guess you would get LED bulbs for that. The technology is probably just about there now. I've seen some LED christmas lights this year that had a more suitable colour temperature than the ones you usually get.
I guess for the military you need to think about both.
Certainly you will have people trying to break in to get military secrets, and they just need to break into one computer, the one with the secrets on it.
But there will be other people who want to break in to stop the computers from working, so that the military can't do its job so effectively. Those people will need to break into all the computers in a particular operational area in order to win.
I guess it is a balancing act here. I would hope they have things so that even if someone does break in, they can't get at the secrets in a way that would be understandable. Also of course, they have many systems which don't contain information which is of particular military importance but are nevertheless essential to their operations.
You can set up a fraudulent direct debit with just the account number and sort code. I had someone do that to me once - 86p to Carphone Warehouse. It did get refunded immediately when I complained.
If the IRS want to audit a mega-corp, they have to visit them on site. There is just too much stuff to look at for it to be practical to do it any other way.

Correction. In the American speaking world, everyone may well say Resume. But in the English speaking world (ie England), we say CV.
There is. You can be chucked out of the game, which I guess is equivalent to the death penalty.

The critical date is 19th Jan 1996. I'm not sure MS Hearts was around then, so I guess it is infringing.
you still only get 50 login accounts.

AOLers don't use Netscape, they use AOL browser, which is a re-skinned IE with extra bloat.
I thought they already did, and that's why we have Mozilla.
MS entered the phone market ages ago, certainly they were in the market in 2002, and probably earlier than that. I have one sitting on my desk.
Evolution manages exchange integration fine using WebDAV.
In any case, MS already have what you are looking for. Windows Mobile 5 and 6 have pretty good exchange integration.
Due to the network effect.

You trademark Mickey Mouse. You copyright particular examples of work containing him.
We already have halogen bulbs which are twice as bright as the equivalent wattage standard incandescent bulbs. Is that what they are talking about?

In England anyway it would be libel. It is also libel if it is broadcast on TV or Radio.
