I'm guessing she consented to the usual sort of car ad - pictures of the car in question with a model sitting on the bonnet or in the passenger seat, some blurb about how wonderful it is, and details of how to go about buying one, not fake stalking emails.
The problem is that day trading doesn't generally make more money than adopting a buy and hold strategy, but a day trader will have much higher transaction costs, so as a result will make less money.
In an efficient market, any information known about a particular stock is already priced in, so no amount of stock picking will make more money than picking stocks at random.
I've yet to find an example of where day traders did ruin a company.
One example where they were accused of it is HBOS plc, Europe's largest mortgage bank. Rumours started circulating that it was running out of money, and was a week away from bankruptcy, so they were accused of bringing down a good solid company.
It turns out that the rumours were wrong only in that it was actually three hours away from bankruptcy as a result of its investments in toxic mortgage assets.
They are only required to take legal tender when it is in settlement of a debt. If you owe them money, and you offer to pay it in legal tender, then if they refuse, you have discharged your obligations and no longer have to repay the debt.
When you go into a shop and ask to buy something, you do not at that point owe them any money, as you have not taken the goods. Therefore, they do not have to accept legal tender.
If you pay to download from somewhere, you can legitimately say that you thought you were buying from a legal source and blame the company you bought the download from.
Getting the latest patch for Microsoft Office is like getting the latest patch for OpenOffice.org. Microsoft Office isn't part of Windows, but OpenOffice.org is part of most Linux distros.
You have your own private mirror of your distro's update repository, and point yum or apt-get or whatever at it. That is very easy for even a moderately competent unix administrator. Joe User might struggle, but he doesn't need to do that, and he would probably struggle with WSUS anyway.
I'm getting about 7 Gbits from the phone line that used to be maxed out at 52k or so, and I can make voice calls on it at the same time as my downloads, something I couldn't do before.
It has an EFI instead of a BIOS. That's about it really. There are a lot of things you might find on a PC that you won't find on a Mac, but other than the EFI, everything in the Mac could be used to make a PC.

Yes, because the usual routine is leave work, meet up with friends, go to pub/restaurant, watch movie, go to pub, go home.
If I'm in London, I never take the car. £8 for the congestion charge + about £30 for parking is way to expensive.
Only the super rich who aren't quite mega rich enough to afford a helicopter, and people with Disabled Badges travel to the centre of London by car.
And it is going to be pretty dammed obvious if you record a movie with your laptop. Less so with a phone.

Given that brute force attacks scale to multiple processors better than just about any other task, I don't think there is a limit.
Or British mode - hiding everything about both sex and guns.
HP iPaq, Blackberry, or any number of smartphones. In terms of feature list, there isn't anything new in the iPhone.

But the vast majority of websites in the wild don't work in IE 5.2
No you don't. It comes up as an optional download in WindowsUpdate.
That is for dead tree books. Ebooks are charged at the full rate of between 15% and 25%. The UK is at the lower end of that scale.

The patent system is supposed to encourage such things, however it seems to be getting used to ban them.

Their spam filter could do a better job of catching emails that puportedly come from Microsoft but didn't go from their servers.
You should use something like P@55W0rd. Then nobody will guess it.
If Microsoft use NTLM hashes on their server, then even 14 characters won't be good enough.
You own your copy of the software, and the first sale doctrine allows you to sell that to someone else.
Display it using Adobe Flash, or, this being Microsoft, Silverlight. Then you can drag it round on the screen.
Seems to be plenty of ports of wget around.
