Somehow I don't think that MS provides software to certain orginizations or persons for less than wholesale because "it's cheap". It took alot of overpaid PHBs and underpaid (or overpaid) workers to produce the final product.
It can be argued that because of their market share and insane prices that they're already making profit from, say, WinXP. However Microsoft has already demonstrated how profit-motivated it is. Given their track record I'd say that the purpose of these programs is to ensure their products popularity among tomorrow's IT specialists/administrators by driving competing products into obscurity.
It's a good idea, but that 1 or 2 pound mechanism will probably cost more than $500,000. Perhaps more depending on the costs for modification to the launching and landing systems. Not to mention the adjustments to the flight computer software to compensate for that extra 1 or 2 pounds.
While it is possible that no person viewed the act as it occured, there is irrefutable(sp) proof that the act did occur. That is equally as good as, if not better than, a cop with a radar gun catching you.
Either way you are still "caught in the act".
I would like to point out that Hans Gruber (the bad guy from Die Hard) is dead, as is his brother (the bad guy from Die Hard 2). You'll have no luck trying to convince me you were referring to his equally-as-evil twin.
I'll advise the major sea cruise companies to stop putting explosives in the cargo bays of their ships. Have they learned nothing from the RMS Lusitania?

"synthesizing core energies" Isn't that how you recharge the Dilithium crystals while they're still in the antimatter reaction chamber?
Nerd rush!
...so I placed a bet that you might have something smart to say in the future and just put you in my list.
Does that mean that you support online gambling?

Robots don't go insane. They just go beyond their initial programming.
No disassemble!

Finally...no more imagining beowulf clusters. This one has been realized.
Yeah...I'm not sick of that joke yet. Please mod down parent appropriately, for reposting old material.

It was meant for it to say "Blessed are the geek for they shall inherit the earth."
It's not really the speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop(heavy and uneven deceleration of the body) that does you in.
Haven't seen a Simpsons reference in a bit.

That's a good thing, because I don't want to have to remember any new kings. (ref., Futurama)
God help us if they didn't prevent the token from falling out.

I've sent out my undersea glider to send a message across the Pacific. Now, I've got about 6 months to remove my firewall rule that blocks apnic.
(note: I did *not* calculate the time it would take to cross the Pacific twice at 5 mph. Likewise it would have taken too long)
that's why a Ford Focus is more reliable than an Aston Martin DB7
Can you cite a reference for this or is this not a fact? I'd sincerely like to know.
