an expresso machine would be highest on my option list.
Seriously though, what the/. commune would want would be quite different from what your clients would want.
As someone who once created and maintained my high school information database, I know how easy the system can be abused.
What's very imporant is that Universities have strict and applied policies dealing with information and database handling.Limiting the numbers that have access is paramount. Background checks for personnel involved should be done too.
I was not alluding MS is interested in public morality.
However:Piracy---->Dominant Position--->profit.
The government recently intensifies the effort for open source,hence XP starter pack.And I have to disagree, the crippled XP will not have any significant buyers.
The pirates will still use pirated XP, the price point for MS XP is acceptable for "genuine" users and small business would use originals(BSA and all).
Read my post further up, i was wondering the real motivation for this.
Regardless of your software ideals, stealing software is wrong
hHere in my country, a 'developing" nation I'd wager the piracy rate(for MS) is at 70-80%. Roll back 5 years ago,, it'd be near 100%.
Piracy has actually helped MS entrech its position. Nowadays, the instances of non MS OS or office(in the office) software is still near 0%.. All "pirates" who uses MS in the past(i.e Univ) is now working, and they wouldn't be interested in learning about new "tools"
I'd wager MS would not view 'stealing' that led them to a dominant position is wrong.
IMHO all developing or poor nation starts with 100% piracy rate, as they gradually become more prosperous the rate will go down. The softwares most pirated will benefit the most from this growth.

way too jaded.But I don't find trade shows to be that exiciting anymore.
yet, strangely enough I feel very distressed.
Fuck, its not my country, and I'm very depressed.
what they really mean is they don't see a way to sell a Linux PhotoShop when the GIMP is Free
I would love to have Pshop in linux. Judging from the threads, I'm not alone.
IMHO there is a demand, thus it is sell-able.
GIMP maybe free, but I've accustomed myself to Pshop, I like the power and cross-themes.Being free is not enough to hedge GIMP's success.
Disclaimer : I've never used GIMP. Unlike Word I find Photoshop to satisfy my needs, and am not compelled to test other products.

wearing cargo all the time ain't cool either.

even if a better and cheaper, player comes out, it'd still have a tough time disloging the ipod.
ipod has become the status quo now, the "cool".
but did they really check 18000 outlets. Thats quite a considerable number.

but most file swappers,I'll put myself on a limb here; would not even know what that means.
Most file swappers are just interested in getting something quick and free, not any social cause.
