We've also all seen the classical antidepressant commercial.
Actually, I haven't. I live in Australia and advertising prescription drugs directly to patients is illegal. What people get here are fake news stories on current affairs shows. They have to pretend to have some news value, so they don't look like the ads described.
Without even mentioning Crown Copyright, aren't they using the ruling from Autodesk v Dyason over copies of AutoCAD dongles? This seemed to include the relevant data as part of the software.
The joke at the time was that you could keep people from publishing alternate bus timetables with this. I guess this is another joke turned into a business plan.
Fielding is Family First. They're tied into Hillsong / Assemblies of God, [1] not the Brethren. The Brethren aren't allowed to use the Internet so why would they want it filtered?

How so? I don't use PS so I can't comment on that but in XP Pro every program that wanted firewall access got a nice popup saying "This program wants a firewall exception" and you had the choices of "Unblock/Keep Blocking/Ask Me Later" so I don't see where the problem is with XP.
Actually, that's any Windows program that wanted Network access. Any software (including installers) running with admin rights could add themselves as an exception to the firewall rules. The popup was to allow you to add exceptions for software that wasn't firewall aware.
That's Jet ESE (Exchange Server Edition) and I have no idea how much they've modified / tweaked / rewritten to get it to work. It's also a different case because it could be considered as a single user (the IS service) rather than a lot of users on other machines hitting it at once. That said, Exchange IS's going wrong is a special hell of its own.
I made a comment a while back about defense lawyers using this case like game video for football coaches. If they're going to get pasted, I want someone to post the video with color commentary. Any volunteers?
That's an improvement. In previous versions, I had to use OpenOffice to 'repair' documents that Word couldn't open. And yeah, different versions or even changing printers can make Word documents go flaky. (Of course, people not tweaking every little formatting parameter would make that less of a problem.)
Not Outlook, but Exchange Server can do it. I've usually run smaller organisations so 'abuses' have only needed a more selective distribution list [1] or a quiet talk to the offenders. In a larger shop, I'd probably lock down the lists on general principles. That being said, that would increase the amount of overhead of 'person X is doing person Y's job for a week, add them to the list,' or more likely 'why didn't you add them to the list when we didn't tell you they had moved.'
[1] The guys three time-zones away started to get annoyed about 'cake in the kitchen, come get some' messages.
And as already mentioned, a distribution list called 'Everyone' is one recipient. This is misuse of large distribution lists. I've just started working at a place where people use these for 'items of interest.' No, thanks, I don't want a kitten, but the cake is OK.
To use a sports metaphor (I tried for cars, honest) this will provide game tape for the opposing coaches. I'm also betting that there will be post-game analysis that will prove helpful to one or both sides. I also wonder how one-sided this could get. The RIAA are a protection racket who need to stay out of the courtroom to be successful.
I've seen the same thing with Amway cultists. If you aren't one of them, then you have problems. They're either trying to recruit you, treating you like vermin or only occasionally trying to sell you product.
The built-in defrag framework was built by Diskkeeper and the defrag tool is a cut-down version of DK lite. At least it used to be. Back in WinNT 3, DK had to run a heavily modified version of NT with its own service packs and everything. DK worked with MS to put hooks into the system in NT 4 to allow their product to work without heavily modifying the OS. The actual out-of-the-box defragger was added in Win2K. This is a low-end version of DK Lite and is a front-end to the frame-work you describe.

Visual Studio express also allows only one programming language.
Which one was that then? Last I checked you could use C#, VB.Net or C++. In fact I have all three installed on a notebook now.
SQL Server Express 2008 is a whole different issue and refuses to install until I upgrade from SP1 to SP1.
1976 was the early part of the 1980's, so yes.

Except that in some parts a billion is a million million. Saying "thousand million" removes all doubt.

Hey, somebody has to make Alston and Coonan look competent. It's a big job, but Conroy has the ability.

Yep, Hansard trips our profanity filters often enough to need an exception.
You also need to remember that lawyers grow up to be judges.
... every customer thinks he's the Messiah.
Probably going to burn in hell for that one.

Here, it's robbery without the threat. With the threat it's armed robbery or extortion. (Depends on the threat.)

The gimp's sleeping.
Where did you find MS Word for free? (I mean, besides torrent sites)
When they embraced free and extended that freedom to cover Office.
And when did it's interface become intuitive?
When they replaced the ribbon with a nipple.

I wouldn't call selection by the RAAF as being proven in use in Australia. Wait, you said countries like Australia. Which countries are those then?

Oh, I can see it now: KB111666: Thetans cause random restarts.
Well, they could embrace other peoples' technologies, extend them as needed and everybody will live happily ever after. :)
