Hewlett Packard scanning software doesn't work with much, actually. Ever tried to use "Scan-to-email" into Thunderbird, or some other e-mail client? It won't work. You are stuck to Outlook/OE.
HP - Fueling the monopolistic practices.
For me, price isn't the problem here (except for the $80 package... but then again you are getting 3 licenses). The problem for me is that Norton's isn't that great. I did a project for a college course where my group and I sat down with a lot of the popular security products and tested to see which one would *prevent* malware from getting installed in the first place. McAfee and Norton's scored average and were about as annoying as Windows Vista, ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky did very well.
Not in my testing was AVG and Avast. AVG didn't, at the time, have a full sweet of malware protection, and I didn't know about Avast (plus, I only had so much time to work on it.) Anyway, I use AVG for Virusscan, ZoneAlarm for firewall, and don't have to worry about other malware because of my choice in sites browsed and browser of choice. (Though, I do run a few of the many spyware scanners out there and occasionally check my startup programs and running processes.)

Sure, they weren't done faster, but they got more done in the same amount of time. So, say you have 10 projects your company is working on. They all have the same deadline. All 10 get done by the deadline. They weren't finished faster, but were all finished at the same time. Without the multitasking, 3 projects may have made the deadline, but the other 7 would have been delayed and had a staggered finish. That's increased productivity.
If I remember correctly from a science show, they use the computers in their trucks to render the line. And they have around 5 engineers and 13 computers working on the yellow line (or something like that). Anyway, since the control box/truck is able to "see" every single camera view, it's not too hard to super-impose every single image to make a fairly accurate 2-d or 3-d model of the field. Run the views through the computer, draw the lines, TV is delayed about 5-15 seconds anyway, re-render the camera view that goes out on the air, and bang! instant yellow line that moves with the field of action (just slightly delayed from actual time).
It's unfortunate to AMD and those who would support AMD. The customer gets a hotter, more power hungry processor, that is probably just as, if not more, expensive than a cooler, slower GHz rated Intel processor that outperforms the Athlon.
No, but once you report having been robbed of said item, you are no longer liable. Same thing with gun laws. If your gun is stolen and found to have been involved in a crime, you are not liable. Unless you are the one who actually committed the crime, but that has to be proven.
Okay, let's follow the PR-speak of the Macrovision CEO for a moment...
Macrovision has been in the content protection industry for more than 20 years, working closely with content owners of many types, including the major Hollywood studios, to help navigate the transition from physical to digital distribution. ----------
I believe that most piracy occurs because the technology available today has not yet been widely deployed to make DRM-protected legitimate content as easily accessible and convenient as unprotected illegitimate content is to consumers.
Wait, so you've been "protecting" content provider industries for 20 years; and, yet, the tech is not widely deployed? If you business is as effective and successful as you say it is, then you've had plenty of time for getting the tech out. We've gone through 3 or 4 tech upgrades since the mid-80s. Vinyl disc to Audio tape to Audio CD, floppy disk to data CD, VHS/Betamax to Laserdisc to DVD to Blu-ray/HD-DVD (which will hopefully not see the light of day because of DRM, unless they rid themselves of it in the format).
We've been helping and encouraging the entertainment industry to annoy its paying customers for more than 20 years.
Truer words, and all that.
As others have pointed out, if they outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns.
What? Oh, sorry, if they use DRM, the pirates will still pirate and regular consumers will largely be unable to consume. (They will be confused and angry that they will have to buy yet another DVD player, or their new audio CD doesn't work in their car disc player, etc.)
I think your definition of "lowest common denominator" and mine differ greatly. By creating media that gets as violent and sexual as it can is, in my opinion, broadcasting for the lowest common denominator.
What I found interesting was a commercial for some thriller movie... showed a somebody about to get quartered by a set of semi's. Seriously, if I wanted that, I'd just go to ogrish.com.
Ok, so I'm utterly late on this one... and this comment is likely never to see the light of day. Oh, well
Has anyone ever proposed a correlation between the changing magnetic fields to that of this supposed global warming (or climate change as they like to call it when it gets cold in the northern hemisphere.)
I'm not saying there isn't a climate change happening, but it seems to me that if the northern ice caps are receding, but the southern ice cap is expanding... this might have something to do with the earth's magnetic field preparing for a magnetic flip.

For my RC Car, I specifically bought a car that had a rechargeable battery. Although the 9-volt in the steering wheel isn't rechargeable, but it lasts a long time (as long as I remember to turn it off.)
While it may be true that the computer illiterate probably won't be held liable for their unsecured network, if the **AA can prove you DO know what you are doing, you won't be able to get away with it. Particularly, if you found out how to secure your system and didn't act on it within a reasonable amount of time.
Having spoken with a Microsoft developer who was at our university speaking about legal issues, contract issues, and other Ethics & Law type stuff relating to the industry; he mentioned that he, as well as all other developers, were not allowed to look at patents. That since they were in the creation of new software, they had to keep themselves aloof of what others are developing to avoid the chance that they would duplicate someone else's work.
So, it can't be (1) since they are not allowed by contract. It is possible it could be (2). My vote is on (3), but not so harshly stated. It is possible, with the thousands (millions?) of developers out there, there can be 2 or more different groups working on the same idea and not know about each other.
For me and the field I work in (computer repair), I try, but can't, keep up with all the different anti-virus, anti-malware, firewall software that is out there.
unless you can figure out a way to paint it so that it's to their personal advantage.
The biggest personal advantage one can give a novice:
"You don't have to spend $250.00 on MS Office 200x of your own money to use the formats that we will use at the school. Here, take this disk, or here let me put this install file on your USB drive... double click on that and off you go."
(Sure, they get the educational edition... it's only $120.00 at Amazon. Many teachers have to work an entire day to take home that much pay. An average of $50k/yr/(12*4*40) hourly wage *.80 take home after taxes = ~$21.00 of take home pay/hour.)
Of course, there is one more question: What is the value of the 300 gold or the 50 gold. Some games, 300 gold is just about as useless as 50 gold, others 50 gold is living rich.
I wonder if someone messed up their math. Last time I checked 3.9x2.8 = 10.92 square inches which is considerably larger than 6.7 square inches.
Oh, you meant 6.7x6.7 which is 44.89 square inches./math grammar nazi off

A simple script to move the domains to a new domain would not be that hard. But then again, I'm not that familiar with the politics of tld's.
