...but the book is not a pain-in-the-ass to use because of articificial copy protection, it is in fact very easy to use and has absolutely no artificially added "features" that only benefit the seller.
Actually while programming to an API doesn't require the source code of the implementation it sure makes it a lot easier as soon as the implementation doesn't work as specified (which is very likely with code of MS's quality level).
Telephones of today have as much in common with the ones a century ago as a bicycle has in common with a modern car. Both are used for communication but they do not use the same design much less the same telephones people used a century ago.
And by MS logo you mean what? The word "Microsoft" in the crappy font with a cut in some of the "o" letters (see their website)? Or are you by any chance refering to the Windows logo? That wouldn't really apply to anything Microsoft- but not Windows-related, would it?
But they probably ban neither "super" nor "bowl" but only the combination. Nobody would have a problem with the exclusive use of "Sponsor of the Olympic Summer Games 2012" but banning each separate word is ridiculous.
At least I did the same, downloaded it at least somewhere between 5 and 10 times in the hope that it would be usable but at the current state I prefer Opera (even paid for it recently). And yes, I tried it for more than a few minutes, it is just not responsive enough and the manual extension updates on every Firefox update don't help convincing me to switch either.
...and because after a few years I noticed I never use this my window manager now is ratpoison which removes all this resize, overlap, move bullshit and just keeps switch (and tile but I don't use that either 99% of the time).
Worked in Opera (32 bit) on Gentoo (64 Bit) on AMD64 for me. That is more than most embedded movies do because I didn't bother to install a plugin for them.

And here I thought decision making had something to do with knowledge and facts...
Reminds me of Packet-over-Sheep (RFC 3203) or IP over Avian Carriers (RFC 2549; meaning everything from the Concorde to a pigeon)...
Might work if step 4 wasn't really "...looks exactly the same to the naked eye"

The difference is the target group. Movies need a much larger percentage of the popuation to buy them to break even.

Actually the GP's story wasn't really a story about stupid architects but about stupid lawmakers and lawyers.
What would you want with a several centuries old windows version (by the time they implement this)?
Compressed 5 MB should be a lot more for text when uncompressed.

I believe Opera already has this feature for a long time due to the need to have this in their embedded version.
There is also a mozilla based browser that already does this
It is but "worthy competitor to one of the worst browsers out there" doesn't sound so good, does it?
Gentoo does AFAIK. I would guess Debian might do it too.
It is normal flash, just watched it on Gentoo.

One usually works on the Transport Level and the other on the Application Level of the ISO/OSI Model for Network Protocols.
I don't think it was a yes/no question.
These things are called audio books and are quite a few years older than the word abomination "podcasting".
