i don't know a whole lot about china during the cold war put i suspect their position could be extrapolated from here, perhapse WWI era weapons for their best units and pre-WWI for their not so good but good enough to arm units. and the option to pick who to follow in order to pick up their rifle when the armed guy goes down for the rest of their troops.
the manpower superiority of china is purely in the meatshield department. china only has enough guns for a fraction of thier military and since private gun ownership isn't permitted there is little oppurtunity for any sort of militia force to be useful.
There are two things preventing large scale war between USA and PRC, nuclear weapons and economic dependance.
how could it take longer than that to copy an existing filter and obfusciate it enough that MS wouldn't be likely to get caught? or if any of the filters that already exist are BSD licensed to just include it legitimately in office
more importantly, if you have a source of energy powerful enough to move a 10 mile column of water upards at a reasonably useful rate it would be more efficient to just generate electricity and operate a refridgerator
also you can improve the effectiveness by coating the outside of the funnel (or in ancient times making the funnel out of silver and polishing both sides) because then heat radiated from outside the funnel would not be absorbed and reradiated to the objects being cooled inside the funnel.
sort of like diffusion, everything (not at absolute zero) emits some heat in the form of EM radiation and absorbs some EM radiation which becomes heat, by putting a mirror funel around an object on a clear night you ensure that very little radiation is absorbed by the object and that most of the radiation it emits is sent off into space
creating a filter so word can natively open OASIS docs should not take microsoft more than a week or two, but doing so would make it easier for companies to switch away from MS so it is unlikely to happen.
IIRC the patents related to PDF's are not in the document formats themselves but rather in variour protection techniques and DRM which are optional comnponents rarely used excepf for things like downloadable ebooks etc.
still not secure, assuming the user is able to store configuration and data files in some read/write location, some component which reads data from that location could be exploited by saving corrupt data to that location.
for example a virus embedded in a document which infects the instance of the operating system when metadata is read could spread far and wide within a business without ever altering a system file.
as opposed to laptops because laptops are so simple to maintain and repair over time.
seriously a custom designed system built to be rugged and safe for a classroom is much better than throwing a pile of money at the problem and hoping it goes away.
the unlicensed developers eventually won in court i think it was tengen who sued nintendo and eventually got the patent invalidated because it wasn't a useful invention in and of itself
how exactly is a fragile and expensive laptop more cost effective than a $20 (have to assume the school will be fleeced by manufacturers spending $2 to make each unit) block of plastic with an LED display and a few instance switches?
Iam a huge nintendo fan due to the quality of their products, but don't kid yourself nintendo practically invented anti-competitive corporate bullying. the patented lockout chip in the NES which served only one purpose: force legitimate publishers to pay Nintendo Royalties if they wanted to sell NES compatable games.
have you tried opera, i use firefox since my slowest computer runst at 1.3 ghz, but when i am setting up fresh installs on older hardware i usually point people towards opera. for quick safe browsing with tabs.
i think that is a problem with the flash plugin, i have seen occasional sour firefox installs almost all were involving flash. though sometimes the adobe plugin was at fault.
i actually have GAIM set with text replacement to star out any of my important passwords, my credit card number in it's entirety, or any of the 4 digit clusters in my credit card number.
I meant patching for performance, such as one version of unreal tournament would slow down horribly when certain weapons were being charged. you need control of the system because letting an automated system handle much of anything can bite you in the ass when writing for consoles, i didn't mean to imply that writing on bare metal reduces bugs.

"slipped under most summer moviegoers' radar," == "such a relentless piece of shit nobody bothered to go see it" ?
Let start a war
Start a nuclear war

interface code shouldn't be having an effect on the speed of a backend type job such as a batch conversion.

perhapse some money could be made in integrating a single port NAT firewall into the network card of the laptop.
there is nothing intelligent about the design of windows

i never had such luck. the only teacher in HS i had who used a punched sheet also used an inverse punched sheet to check for double marking
the 360 wil suck so hard nobody wants to crack it.

if you can convince users to click a link why not just send them to goatse?
