It's only expensive in the US market: presumably because of the deal with Cingular - here in the UK it is launching as a free phone with 12 month contracts (9 months of which are half-price) - and doesn't look such a bad deal.
In the medium term, apple will need to be involved with more phones so that apple computer buyers can download pictures and video from their phones as well as uploading music and other stuff to them.
2. You can't convert the legacy files to open standards because you would lose the metadata. Even if an open standard was created which captured and reported all metadata (document creation and amendment dates, etc), every time you did electronic disclosure of a file you would have to declare that the conversion process did not corrupt the file in any way, to a forensic standard of proof.
3. You can't do a comparite between OOo or PDF docs and Word docs. So even now, open formats can't generally be adopted. But, for archiving purposes, this doesn't matter, due to double redundancy. (Triple redundancy in 99% of cases with offsite secure datastores at all but the smallest firms).
The pretext of the BTP was to protest the reduction of import taxes on tea imported through the East India Company (undercutting the existing taxed trade).
Versioning. V1 of the doc will be the audio file, V2 the draft typed up, V3 the proofed copy which goes to the other side, V4 a hand mark-up (goes back to India) - major changes at this stage may be dictated into the same document as a rider, V5 the 2nd clean copy, etc, etc.
All versions are accessible for comparison if you know the location of any one. (Which you do because you have a decent file storage system, maybe Hummingbird)
You can even possition the audio bits in the document at the relevant points.
"Lawyers use WordPerfect."
Not in London they don't.
"Try opening an old version of a document."
Every law firm worth its salt has double-redundancy: old systems are kept and paper copies of all documents.
And it is big business. Lawyers, accountants, etc dictating, saved in a word document then sent over IP to a secretary either in the office or in India.
Galileo wasn't wrong, his conclusions merely have limited effect (in the frame of reference that is the solar system, the planets revolve around the sun, pace Galileo).
Science proceeds through refinement of ideas over time. Could say it evolves!
Determinism is the antithesis of free will, which is a prerequisite for belief. If everything is predetermined, even your thoughts, belief and faith are mere illusions.
The difference between the laws you refer to and those of China is the purpose and scope of the limitations; the purpose of the Western laws is to protect some groups in society, the purpose of the Chinese law is to protect the government. The scope of the Western las is clearly limited and will be balanced, where freedom of expression is relevant, by national constitutions which are enforceable by citizens.
Merely breaching a licence agreement is not a crime.
There is a breach of the licence though, which would allow the copyright owners to sue. As it is GPL, it might be difficult to establish loss to claim damages, but it should be possible to get an injunction to prevent future breaches (breach of said injunction would be illegal).
If it is illegal to commit suicide, it is not possible for life insurance companies to pay out to a victim of depressive illness's family, even if they wanted to. It would simply not be an insurable risk (general priciple that you cannot insure against your own commission of a crime).
Back in the days of supertax the maximum rate for investment income in the UK was theoretically 105% but reduced by concession to 95% of income. Very few people paid that rate but the Beatles/Apple Records had notorously bad financial planning skills.

That's not a fault it's a mousephone!

tee hee:
The O2 version in the UK:
Cheaper (free on a 12 month contract not $250 on a 24 month contract);
Support for syncing tunes with Bluetooth;
After 12 months, you can unlock it to any network.
erm.

...because they want to use that name later, if they make their own, prettier one, or if Motorola leave them...
1. 22 MJ is quit a hefty pulse so might be useful in the odd application.
2. 16 MW is nothing. Less than one windmill.
3. 65% - put 100 in get 65 out, never going to do anything except exacerbate our fuel crisis...

Why do you do it this way?

Removing automatic copyright would be the final nail in the coffin of the independent publisher against the large corporates.
If the subscriber is buying the phone with no cross-subsidy from the network? Will be an expensive phone!

I don't recognise that anymore. I think reception issues depend more on your choice of network than the phone itself.
On the other hand, I miss my T10. Small, light, with a ridiculously long battery capacity (2 weeks plus) and no fancy gizmos. Ah well.
Determinism is the antithesis of free will, which is a prerequisite for belief. If everything is predetermined, even your thoughts, belief and faith are mere illusions.
Being a believer in determinism is a contradiction in terms.
The USA, Germany and France do not wish to censor the likes of The Tianamen Square massacre.

NT technology is a tautology.
the U.S. can easily lead in any field - it chooses

Excellent, I'll use this argument to start selling "doodlelogic Windows"...

Clinical depression, by its definition, is not temporary but chronic.
It can be cured but in a significant minority of cases there will be no, or a limited, response to treatment.

After all, they are "entering" your home (if only slightly) when the postman comes into the porch to put the post through the letterbox.
