Except they won't have physical access to the actual machine so they can't insert floppy disks and CD-ROMs to get their malicious code on to the machine itself. They can just point and sputter in the likely cludgy interface with whatever minimal input device they're allowed.
Trample? A lot of parents think that anything that gets in the way of the government "protecting" their kids needs to be abolished. If that means the first, second, fourth and fifth amendments, and more, then so be it. Free speech is protecting pornographers and bigots, the second is allowing kids to steal guns from their incompetent parents, the fourth is preventing the police from kicking in the door of the "bad people" whenever they please and the fifth doesn't let the police beat information and/or confessions out of anyone they want. These amendments are harming the children by shielding people with these so called Constitutional Rights. These politicians are heroes in the eyes of the anti Bill of Rights parents of the nation.
This is silly. In the US justice system, you have to spend money on your defense in order to win. If you don't spend money to keep your lawyers fighting for you, the other side wins and you're screwed. If you were up on phony charges and had the money to get a good lawyer that can keep you out of jail, would you refuse to "buy justice" and go to prison?
The Supreme Court didn't grant Peterson rights over his wife's reproduction. They granted that right to her alone. Therefore, when he killed her, he murdered the unborn child as opposed to legally aborting it.
Schools like to teach engineering and programming from copyright and likely patent encumbered textbooks so anyone that ever reads them are producing derivative works and likely patent infringing works.
Even if they do, the Anti-spyware should at least inform users of any third-party VNC-like software present on the machine in case they don't know about it.
If Microsoft had a physical software store and deliberately undercut every retailer that sold their products, there'd probably be frothing at the mouth on/. When Apple does a similar thing, people jump to their defense. O_o
Violence does not help the NRA and gun lobbyists. If there was no violence, the NRA could point and say "See? Nobody uses guns to commit violence so why on Earth should we even consider banning them?"
The fine is intended to hurt just enough to keep them from doing it again. If Wal-Mart can soak up a $1000 fine, but still save more by not changing their policies and procedure then the fine did nothing at all. Mom and pop will probably be hurting after the fine and try their best to make sure it doesn't happen again.
If the software doesn't have a record of it's activation, it will require activation. Unless MS differentiates between new activations, activations due to reinstall and activations due to hardware changes and combinations of new installs on "different" hardware, they'll probably go through the phone call to get up and running.
Does this apply to those of us whose machines weren't preactivated at the factory? I have a Compaq notebook that came preinstalled but required activation when it first booted it up. Even though my key is theoretically used, will MS still try to bend me over for a new license when they ask me stupid questions if I try to reinstall?
He means that they're all now based on a much more similar codebase. Corporate desktops are running essentially the same operating system as consumers. They have a few corporate centric enhancements, but that's prett much the difference. At least in the desktop sector, they do have one product line with various SKUs rather than two completely different product lines.

Nearly all of Windows XP's security problems have been with services and applications sitting on top of the kernel rather than inside it.
1024x768 is poor only if your lappy is bigger than 15".
If they are developers, that doesn't mean their only option is a Linux or even Unix company.

They might not be able to charge you with anything for publishing the pictures, but they can use it as evidence in the actual crime.
So Intel was actually first with 64-bit x86 and dual core x86 chips?
Indeed, it would likely go something like: Mozilla.org isn't doing things *our way* SUE SUE SUE SUE SUE

The SCO debacle was a contract issue.
Isn't looking an open source code limiting if you plan to work on proprietary software? I imagine MS wouldn't hire any Linux kernel developers.
Open Source means you can modify and redistribute in most cases. You have no idea what you're talking about, do you?

Could probably even do it with MS Paint.

We also happen to speak English. Why bother throwing out something like a system of measures? That would just be childish.
Wasn't that 500,000 a total for the fines of a large number of affiliate stations that carried the boob incident?

and every MS customer that needs to reinstall after a spyware/trojan attack....
