If Microsoft charges less, they face the "anti-monopoly" crowd. If they charge more, they face the "ripping-off-the-world" crowd. Microsoft doesnt have much choice in the matter, so they just keep the prices they have.
Not so widely recognised, maybe, it advertised the DEC-20 computers to the entire ARPANET in 1978. And of course there's the "THERE IS NO WAY TO PEACE, PEACE IS THE WAY" of 1971...
What I find interesting is that they are (apparently) planning to sue one of their own customers! How stupid would anyone have to be to sign a contract with them?
This is a classic strategy of fraudsters, like salespersons who cheat the elderly out of their money. Find someone who is weak and milk them until they have nothing left.
This might be a totally clueless suggestion, but what if the top layer of the solar panel was made from transparent, conducting material? The dust that lands on it would lose charge over time and can then be blown/vibrated off with little effort.
I suspect that in addition to absense of arms that can reach solar panels, the brushing effect will cause the dust to scratch the solar panels. Also the dust might be so fine that a brush may not make much difference.
I'm not very well informed on whether they can be made scratch resistant material, can anyone comment on that?
Once again, the "THE INTERNET IS ONLY THE WEB" mindset that low-grade tech journalism seems to be stuck in is preventing people from realizing the destructive nature of something as profound as adding a wildcard to major TLDs
Maybe Microsoft should adopt a new strategy and also release fake patches to fictional bugs that dont exist (in large, bandwidth-permitting numbers). This would confuse all the malware authors and solve the information exploitation problem!
Most of the money is being 'reallocated' from other bits of NASA. Namely the Hubble (or the forthcoming lack of it). Then a small NASA budget increase. That tiny amount could well have come directly from Dubya's re-election campaign fund!

Maybe he's gonna sue SCO.. or battle the RIAA. Hmm, he's got truckloads of money and there are so many possibilities these days.
While in the UK, the BBC has great plans to put all of its past and present programming online for free via a file sharing net. Crazy world.
Amen.
If the countries involved in ITER ever agree on where to build the next experimental reactor.
In a surprise move Thursday, SCO said aain that it needs yet more time to prepare an announcement of who they are going to sue.
They also have said that these first FIVE lawsuits will be against companies that hold SCO Unix licenses.
If there was water, there could have been snow. If there was snow, there could have been snowmen. Hence there could have been life.
Steve Squires for President!

"You have IM!" *ding* SCO has joined the conversation *ding* DeptOfJustice has joined the conversation

It's like the old "Rock, Paper, Scissors"... Only its called "Sue, Copy, PublicDomain"!
Sue vs Copy -> Sue Wins
Sue vs Public -> Public Wins
Copy vs Public -> Copy Wins
A game for artists, lawyers, hackers, CEOs and the whole family.
I hope these cute critters won't be affected...

Remote ATMs better not be using DNS...

Yah, they should make fake patches and increase noise-to-signal ratio. Nobody will ever find a real bug. Heh.

It's at infiniumlabs.net, not infiniumlabs.com
Wouldnt want them to miss out on their own (3rd?) slashdotting...
squeak!
At least the press uses "handles" and not "knobs"
So were the screensavers. Watch out for poisonous, terrorism-sponsoring, fast-spreading flowerboxes!
And maybe rover filesystems will be better tested to cope with.. uhh.. files!
