Until 10.5 is released, 10.3.9 is a supported release. What you just said is like giving MS a hand for releasing patches for XP even though they just released Vista.
1) If it was really a discarded monitor and would otherwise just be sitting in a storage room, there's no additional cost to the company for you to have a second monitor.
2) Can't you just tell them that you feel you're more productive with two monitors?
As a matter of fact, yes they are. Corporations (and therefore their various departments), by definitions, only have in mind the interest of their shareholders, therefore if being unethical furthers their interest and a corporation can get away with it, they will be.
Perhaps not all corporations...
Robert Bosch GmbH, including its wholly owned subsidiaries such as Robert Bosch Corp. in North America, is unusual in that it is an extremely large, privately owned corporation that is almost entirely owned by a charitable foundation. Thus while most of the profits are plowed back into the corporation to build for the future and sustain growth, nearly all of the profits distributed to shareholders are devoted to humanitarian causes.
Disclaimer: I used to work for a subsidiary of Robert Bosch in the US.
As for artificial limitations on development: According to a developer I talked to who apparently worked on the iPhone, it will have secure boot; i.e., the bootloader checks to make sure it's booting Apple's OS, and the hardware won't run any bootloader other than Apple's.
This may be due to 3GPP requiring phone manufacturers to insure that the phone can't load non-approved firmware (FTA). They don't want someone to load firmware that causes problems on the wireless network.
Of course, this is entirely different from loading 3rd party applications on a phone.
The problem is diebold and their machines. Take a look at my country (Brazil) and our latest election. Voting ended at 5:00pm and we knew who won the election by 7:00pm.
That's nothing. Diebold executives can tell you who will win before the election starts!:-)

Turning off the 'open safe files' prevents drive-by downloads from being automatically executed.
Um, XP is still shipping
Apple is providing some patches for 10.3.9 as well. Good to see that they are still providing security related updates for the previous system.
If someone can't find SOMETHING productive to do on a flight besides talk on the cell phone, well, I feel sorry for them.

Did you not read the news releases?
Come on, MS, you know you want to copy Spotlight! Just do it!
Yeah, I left Verizon for Vonage.
I love the way that they charge not only for Call Waiting, but an additional charge for Cancel Call Waiting!
HD is to this decade what turbo was to the '80s and extreme was to the'90s.
The new black?
P.J. will vouch for him.
You mean like this?
Man has been genetically modifying seeds since he's been cultivating plants.
They shoulda had some of those turbines powering their servers!
Tell that to standards groups that release their specs in Word format (3GPP, I'm looking at you).
Such a PITA if you only want to print out 1 page, but Word has to paginate the umteen pages to figure out what is the current page.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Avatars.
You do know that the 'jar' utility will happily decompress a .zip file, right?
This can't be a real list of stuff in the future. It doesn't have flying cars in it!

But that they don't hire real QA folks.
What's your favorite Vim command? Mine is the . command. And ":set hls" rocks!
One of the best things about vi/Vim is that it's available for almost any OS. It drives me crazy when a cow-orker opens up a 20M text file in Wordpad.
