I'm pretty sure that Win2000 was an earlier release than ME (by almost a year), in which case it can't be considered a "subsequent version". Although it would be an improvement, it would also be a step backward.
While that may not be expensive for some people, in the richest country in the world it represents about 1/3 of the median weekly family income. So, to an awful lot of people, it is expensive.
I run a GroupWise 6 system for a not-for-profit organization with over 400 mailboxes. IMO, the group calendaring features are at least as good as anything Exchange has. Email is stored in relatively small database files. Granted, only a small percentage of our users have mailboxes larger than 30MB, but the nightly backup to DLT tape takes only one hour and 4 minutes.
By the way, the general mailbox limit is 50MB, same as when the system was rolled out 5 years ago (It's running on the same server, too). Only a few users have needed more space, so we raised their limits. The largest is probably around 500MB.
Then a wiki is the answer. There are lots of free ones that would probably meet your needs. I like pbwiki.com, myself. But you can look over the features of other sites at http://www.freewiki.info/
Not to mention, it ignores the people who download stuff that they already bought.
There are lots of reasons an *cough* hypothetical person would do that. Their CD might be too scratched to rip, or maybe it's something they own on record or tape and can't conveniently rip it themself.
The biggest incentive to me for purchasing new music in digital format would be that I never have to pay for that song or album again. Why should I pay every time a new medium comes along? When I bought albums in the 70's, it wasn't because I liked round pieces of vinyl. I was paying for the content.
It boggles the mind that complete BS from an anonymous source can be modded insightful and interesting. I guess there are still people that trust everything they read on the internet.
You do realize it's possible to do both, right? I deal with multiple different issues every day. A congressperson with a large support staff should be able to do the same.
Whether any of the Optiplex and Dimension machines I've seen over the last 3-4 years have this option or not I can't say (I could check, but I'm too lazy). But none of them came from Dell with it turned on. Also, most of them now use a flash utility that is run from within Windows to flash the BIOS, rather then from a boot disk. Makes me wonder what Dell's Linux users do to flash their BIOS... use Wine?
Not sure if my post count qualifies me as a "Slashdot person", but Stargate was possibly the stupidest Sci-fi movie I have ever watched all the way through. For that reason, and the fact that Richard Dean Anderson is the poor man's Keanu Reeves, I've never watched the TV series.
Sony, does, however make lots of products I like, though it's been more than 5 years since I've purchased a pre-recorded music CD.
I took it for granted that by preload he was referring to prefetch(have a look at the/Windows/prefetch folder). But it is my understanding that prefetch should work the same for OOo as for MS Office.
So, by this logic, the primary customer of a mom and pop store would be mom and pop?

Actually, you can click on Satellite and zoom in and see some things which look like roads. But they could be dried riverbeds from when the region once had water. Perhaps a manned expedition or some sort of "Australian Lander" will one day reveal the truth.
No, the logic is quite simple. While it may be true that you can't personally verify the code, for an open source project to lie about bug fixes would require that everyone who can read code be in on the conspiracy.
Even dumbasses use 100% of their brains. Your point is a valid one though. It certainly seems that the technological capability (in terms of hardware capability, at least) will exist before the neuroscience know-how comes along. But that just pushes the date projections back a few decades.
(PS- Not having posted in awhile, I find the "type this text to confirm you're not a script" thing kind of ironic in this context. I'm not a script, but how will you know I'm not a downloaded consciousness running on a Beowulf cluster of PS3's? However, it probably is a good way of keeping dyslexic people from posting.)
On the other hand, getting the same thing using Novell's NLS and eDirectory on a Suse server is, IMO, at least as easy as setting up Active Directory. That's not really F/OSS, though.
I did just set up a PXE server with Slackware (first time I've ever used PXE) and it was quite a bit easier, and has much more flexible functionality, than doing the same thing on a Windows server.
That's putting it mildly. If they manage to extract more energy from the human bodies than they put into them in some form (e.g., food), then they have also discovered a way to violate the second law of thermodynamics. Once you've done that, energy production isn't a problem.
Computer programming requires a greater mix of mathematical and language skills (perhaps unless you are working purely with machine language?) than mathematics alone. Therefore, based purely on the differences you describe, one would expect to find the female:male ratio higher among computer programmers than among mathematicians.
So any advantage that any other group currently has should be maintained because, if it wasn't better that way, it wouldn't be that way? This is completely nonsensical. I guess capitalism is pointless then, since there is no point in competing for market share... if you were any good, you'd have it already.
Your explanation also brilliantly fails to explain the changeover in typewriter usage.
This is the age old nature versus nurture question, isn't it? It might be worth noting that studies of identical twins raised seperately show that personality is equally affected by both. So the idea that societal influence is equal to physical (biological) influence has a little more weight than "pure foolishness".
For many users (actually most, in my experience), Item 1 is contradicted by item 4. I've seen many instances of Zone Alarm giving alerts that even a power user would have trouble deciding whether to allow the application to send/recieve/whatever the case is. Especially Windows components (automatic updates, messenger, netbios broadcasts, etc., etc.) themselves.

I disagree. I have never had a pencil give me a blue screen of death.

That's enough to make the top quartile of quartile users. If you were slightly more docile, you could make the top decile.

If they switch to a different search engine, which they also don't know how to use, how will this help them?
Huh? You want to incorrectly pell the word consume?

It still isn't.
This is not the case.
