Two reasons:
1) people that would donate otherwise might be pressured by their family to sell instead
2) people would sell their "extra" organ and then need a replacement for their remaining one later
You could also bet that anybody coming into a hospital unable to express their own wishes will be leaving in a body bag and short a bunch of parts because the surgeon can't get consent for an operation from their buzzard family.
My father would take in boxes of stuff for deductions he was entitled to and they'd still just do a 1040-EZ and tell him he owed the government on top of the ~$5000 they took out of him that year. He started going to a real professional and started getting back ~$4000. H&R block probably hosed him an entire year of wages in tax refunds over the *many* years he was having them do his taxes.
If the EU simply dismisses the evidence only because it's from an MS employee, then they will have shown they have no other grounds to refute it. That would be bad for the EU as it would clearly show they are railroading Microsoft.
Since Outlook has been part of Office for about a decade, I don't see any judge taking the bundling charge seriously. The whole point of a suite is bundling!
You can disable access to it if you don't want it. Nearly every OEM would go ahead and install it anyway. MS's competitors simply want WMP to disappear so they can continue to sell crappy "premium" media software to everyone. Even if MS just put it on their website for free, they'd probably argue they're using their market to give away free software in order to kill them off anyway.
Nope, US nuclear plants have never been shown to be even capable of a meltdown that drastic. No nuclear explosions. I don't think the reactors do anything other than melt and that's why there's all that shielding around them.
Probably didn't, but claiming to have thrown away Microsoft software that probably accounted for a significant portion of the cost of the hardware is "cool" on/. and gets you "geek cred".
They probably did a statistical analysis to predict what OS anyone they didn't ask was using. Depending on methodology and sample size, this can be very accurate or completely off base.
Making modifications to someone else's system is never ethical. There's a reason admins do testing on patches and quite often find that vendor patches cause previously unknown problems with their systems that need to be fixed by the vendor. What happens if a rarely encountered bug in that patch causes a catastrophic failure and someone dies? How ethical is that?
The US governmental system is far older than China's Communist regime... I know what you mean, but the fact that they had governments that no longer exist doesn't mean much since they're completely different now. China hasn't even gotten out of the stage where they can be certain their Communist experiment won't fall over at any time. You can only run over so many of your people with tanks after an economic collapse before they finally get hold of their former leaders and put them to death for what they'd been doing to them for so many years. The history of Great Britain and France show us this.
Contributory negligence prevents a negligent party from collecting damages when another more ngeligent party injures them. If you're driving in both lanes of a road and a speeding car with a drunk drive hits you, the courts aren't going to give you as much money as they would if you were in your own lane. This likely doesn't apply to this case.
Yeah, it's going to be great when China starts threatening Google China if if Google proper doesn't do what they want...like censoring OUR search results or tapping Google Talk and Gmail in hopes of picking up some intelligence.
This question has been beat to death on/. and everywhere else on the internet and in countless court rooms. Retrieving of the material is believed to encourage the production of MORE of the material in a viscous cycle of abuse and consumption of that abuse. As it turns out there are more "pay for kiddy porn" rings than some people think.
The state of the union is traditionally a formal affair. Guests have been asked to cover up shirts with political message (positive or negative) in the past. One of the people removed started calling the security personel idiots but left on her own while Sheehan stayed put so she could get arrested and thus make it into the news AGAIN.
Slashdot Mirror
Skype took money and built in *artifical* limitations on Intel's competitor's products. Even if Skype isn't in hot water, Intel probably will be.
With all that bouncing around, why not combine them?
Running in user mode doesn't mean that the brunt of the work isn't being done by code in the kernel ;p

For breaking rules that are in place to protect the accused (Microsoft)?
and yet a lot of them default to Corel WordPerfect Suite or whatever the hell it is when I go shopping....

Depleted Uranium will kill you from heavy metal poisoning (exactly like lead poisoning) before it will give you cancer ;)

The fact that it didn't break until a brand new processor hit the scenes tells me their QA was fine. How do you QA for non-existant products?

Preventing Capitalism form doing more harm than good is not Communism ;)
I gather that that's only the number that have committed suicide in online pacts.
The Google File System paper refers to the FS as GFS so shush.

Indeed, I would expect tons upon tons of Vista-only effects in Office 12 just for that purpose ;p
