It auto scrolls with a speed based on the angle of reading.
I hope it's not really as bad as it sounds. Moving text is very difficult to read, I thought we learned that lesson from the bad old days of <marquee> HTML coding.
Not quite open source then, but I guess it's better than the situation right now. Still no way of ensuring there are no backdoors in the encryption though.
Photography is banned in most museums not just the NPG. Flash photography can have a detrimental effect on works of art.
If it's flash photography that's the problem, why not specifically state that. Flash photography is banned on the London Underground for the same reason, but they explicitly state that. Feel like taking a photo without a flash? Not a problem.
And What about video recordings, which don't really need external lighting at all, assuming a decent, well lit gallery? I don't buy that argument at all.
Just a minor nitpick, but only the government funded ones are free, the rest charge variable amounts. And even the "free" ones are allowed to charge for entry to special collections (as opposed to the permanent exhibitions), such as the history of computer games event at The Science Museum last year.
Held hostage? I'm no more of a fan of "software as a service" than you are, but have you even looked at Google Docs lately? Take the word processor for example, you can export to HTML, ODF, PDF, RTF or MS Word formats. If the service happens to go in some direction you don't agree with, you have plenty of options to move your documents out. You can quite easily export all of your data and use it in some other software suite, like OpenOffice.org.
None of them do it very well. Try to drag out a tab to its own window when it's playing a video on YouTube, for example, and the video will go back to the beginning. Whether that's the fault of the browser or the Flash plugin though, I couldn't say.

Planck time, of course.

That's exactly what Windows PowerShell is designed to accomplish.

They're "hidden", you have to click the "alternative downloads" option. torrents.
The Kindle iPhone app is still only available in the US, despite being able to buy books internationally now.
Microsoft have a perfectly valid reason. They like money.
By living in a country that doesn't have such ridiculous laws.
No, you're thinking of trademarks.
you didn't even bother reading the part you quoted, did you?
There's nothing stopping you from saying you're not going to use it, calling them up for a refund, and then using it anyway.
Slashdot isn't a fan of Unicode, sadly.
DRM laden music videos, movies and iPod/iPhone applications then, happy now?
The actual legislation if anyone's interested.
Fair enough, but that doesn't explain the video recording policy.

So is watching YouTube when you're meant to be working. I don't see the problem.

It's true that there's EFS, but Microsoft still seems to think it's only necessary for business users, which is a mistake in my opinion.
No, the lesson is don't buy DRMed content, stop encouraging them.
Sorry to reply to myself, but it seems the latest chrome /does/ work properly with this. Could be to do with how it runs plugins in a separate process.
