MS broke this by licensing MS-DOS to Compaq over IBM's objections.
I suspect Compaq's reverse engineering of the BIOS involved more work than Microsoft's licensing MS-DOS to Compaq. And how did this make MS-DOS less proprietary?
A group known as the "traitorous Eight", of engineers and scientists left Shockley's company in 1957 to form Fairchild Semiconductor making some of the first commercially viable integrated circuits.
OK, President Obama could also have worked on the representatives who didn't vote. An override requires 2/3 of the vote, not 2/3 of the representatives (290).

But was your computer a laptop that you took everywhere?
But computers are really important tools for a lot of people and I don't really expect that to change in the near future.
Then have computers in the classroom as opposed to giving students laptops.
What would you do with computers that you couldn't do without them? Even if the schools should have them, do the students need laptops?
Do elementary-school students really need laptops?

Alfred Nobel got rich by stabilizing nitroglycerin into dynamite. What has Microsoft ever stabilized?
Windows 3.x, 95 and 98 used cooperative multitasking.
In the cases of Windows 95 and 98, only for 16-bit applications.

Windows 9x also used cooperative multitasking, but only for 16-bit legacy applications

The execution speed is expected to decrease as a function of Moore's law, GPU, etc.
Wouldn't the execution speed increase? Or did you mean that the execution time would decrease?
Isn't that what I implied? He didn't even try.

The House passed it 283-136, which is over 2/3 (though the President could have tried to flip four votes to 279-140). The Senate voted 86-13.

Why use UTF-8? The letter e with an acute accent is #233, ie, single byte. Maybe Slashdot should support UTF-8.
You need a grammar checker for a calculus exam?
How did you get that? It's Blériot.
The HP-48 can do symbolic calculus, and it has been available sine the 90s.
There are established and well-founded rules regarding static load and fire protection safety in regulations/laws for buildings.
But none of those make buildings vandalism- and arson-proof. Builders don't have to worry too much about malice; programmers do.

If you refuse to accept the EULA (and thus you can't use your computer), is that being aggrieved, or are you just supposed to return it?
