But as far as I can tell, this Microsoft program is focused on the basic use of standard GUI office applicaitons, not server administration, installation, command line use, tweaking, etc.
The Elevate America program isn't about churning out techies who can troubleshoot network problems, it's about teaching people to use Word.
Really, what would Linux skills be? The only things that are really uniform between different Linux distributions are the same elements that are already present in Windows anyway.
And, in general, the common applications available on Linux are also available on Windows. Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, etc.
Genetic? What evidence do you have for this? Where are the patterns of inheritance? How does a gay gene become so widespread when having the gene makes you so much less likely to procreate?
No, it's probably not genetic. It's probably a combination of environmental and hormonal factors.
"We're not a one-company town," [Mayor] Marchione says. "Our traffic studies show that Microsoft traffic would be about 42 percent of the bridge, yet Microsoft is paying for about 50 percent of the bridge, so we think we are getting fair value."
Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith wrote: "As the largest employer in Redmond, Microsoft takes its responsibility to the surrounding community seriously. We have spent over $50 million to assist the City of Redmond and other local governments with street construction, transit facilities, water and sewer facilities and fire equipment."
"Any time you can include the private sector in funding transportation projects, it's a win-win situation," Ennis explains. "The state has a monopoly on our roads system. Even if Microsoft wanted to pay for this project on their own, legally they are required to work with the public sector."
It's a bridge that connects two public roads and will reportedly do a great job lessening congestion on the other nearby bridge.
Despite people billing it as a "Microsoft bridge" it's not. It's a public bridge on a public road. I think Microsoft is being kinda generous by offering to pay for a huge chunk of it.
Keep in mind that said document is a motion filed by the defense - it is not a court ruling or decision. You can say virtually anything you want in a motion.
The RIAA felt the thread of the motion being granted was sufficient to back out of the case entirely, though.
It's just as easy to be influenced by an incomplete or incorrect explanation of the pertinent law, the 'discovery' of another law, or another line of the law, that appears to apply to a layman but the judge specifically excluded for a reason, a Google Street View of the scene of the crime, or whatever.
The thing is that they're not supposed to read the newspaper. For one thing, it's relatively easy not to read the newspaper. And for another, the newspaper doesn't contain even a minute fraction of the info that can be found on Google and Wikipedia in 10 seconds.
I can get home from that day's proceedings and have Wikipedia summaries of the law, tons of background info on the defendant and plaintiff, and every news article about the case ever printed in about 2.5 minutes using the internet. How are you going to research case law about employment contracts from home without the internet?
That's all well and good in the courtroom but jurors go home at the end of the day. What are you going to do? Start sequestering every jury for every trial?
"NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE 1ST SESSION OF THE 52ND OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE:
THAT the Oklahoma House of Representative strongly opposes the invitation to speak on the campus of the University of Oklahoma to Richard Dawkins of Oxford University, whose published statements on the theory of evolution and opinion about those who do not believe in the theory are contrary and offensive to the views and opinions of most citizens of Oklahoma. THAT the Oklahoma House of Representatives encourages the University of Oklahoma to engage in an open, dignified, and fair discussion of the Darwinian theory of evolution and all other scientific theories which is the approach that a public institution should be engaged in and which represents the desire and interest of the citizens of Oklahoma."
The OK House is clearly encouraging the University not to allow him to speak. Quite strongly.
I was under a similar impression, except that Silverlight, while being easier to program for, actually blows Flash out of the water in functionality.
I know that my experiences with Silverlight have been overwhelmingly positive compared to Flash.
It's also worth mentioning that Silverlight works well in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on Windows, as well as Firefox and Safari on OS X.
Moonlight even works on Firefox on Linux, and it's getting better at a pretty good rate.
Complaining that it requires a separate plug-in while promoting Flash, Java, and others is stupid, since Flash and Java both require separate plug-ins as well. And what do Javascript, Perl, etc, have to do with anything? They're not exactly competing products.
Face it, Silverlight is good. It's multi-platform and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.
How does that work with docks and in-car connectors?
I want to just use one cable to connect my PMP to my car and have both audio and charging covered. I want to be able to drop my PMP into a dock and have audio and video come out of it without having to connect additional cables.
iPods do have analog video out and analog stereo L/R line out on their connectors. I rely on these, as it allows me to plug one cable into my iPod to both charge and listen to it in the car. And it allows me to drop my iPod into a dock and have it play audio and video through my system or the dock's built-in speakers/screen without having to attach multiple cables.

Actually, Windows recognizes most digicams as digicams, not USB mass storage.
When you plug it in, it will ask you if you want to import the photos. All you have to do is agree, then you can go through a quick auto-exposure routine. Nothing similar really exists on Linux that I'm aware of.

The idea is that it forces you to buy a new one. You can't buy a used one, because you won't have the coupon.

Go read the article. It covers all this.
That's all well and good in the courtroom but jurors go home at the end of the day. What are you going to do? Start sequestering every jury for every trial?
The abuse comes in when they're soaking up all that bandwidth for illegal purposes.
From what I've seen, most judges and lawmakers have no idea what the internet even is.
Presumably they won't even notice if it gets cut off!

A caver.
No, I'm not kidding. The area is like heaven for cavers.
Or anyone who is into the outdoors and wants to live in a country setting. There are lots of them.
Yup.
Minidisc players/recorders had this way back when as well.
There are hybrid connectors out there that accept either.
How does that work with docks and in-car connectors?
I want to just use one cable to connect my PMP to my car and have both audio and charging covered. I want to be able to drop my PMP into a dock and have audio and video come out of it without having to connect additional cables.
"Drivers" do not solve these problems.
iPods do have analog video out and analog stereo L/R line out on their connectors. I rely on these, as it allows me to plug one cable into my iPod to both charge and listen to it in the car. And it allows me to drop my iPod into a dock and have it play audio and video through my system or the dock's built-in speakers/screen without having to attach multiple cables.
These cannot be handled by USB.
That's not a correct interpretation.
