I would imagine that if you consider even the last 100 years, the UK come up trumps in terms of "provided more fruit to the world than any other nation".
Right from day 1, Bill Gates knows that it's 3rd party developers who make his OS successful. That's why Ballmer goes around shouting "developers, developers".
In my opinion, Microsoft & AOL were the 2 companies responsible for connecting billions.
Before Microsoft, computers were something used by Insurance & Finance companies. And a few hobbyists with their Commodores. Microsoft got the computer to the common man. And then AOL helped connect these computers to the net.
I dont mean to sound trollish, but knowing microsoft we're just keeping up with the joneses (namely Firefox 3.)
I am a long time firefox user on Windows - I have been using it from the time it was called Firebird. Firefox 1 was possibly the high point in the Firefox time frame. After that, the memory issues started. I downloaded Firefox3 when it was released. The memory stuff seems to be fixed. But Firefox3 crashes atleast 3 times a day for me. Sometimes it crashes with the standard crash dialog box. Some it crashes silently - it dissapears. On restarting, if I chose restore session - it crashes again (because the same page which caused the crash earlier is reopened.
sick of it - I have been using FF3 & IE7 side by side for a couple of weeks & I am more or less decided that I will be uninstalling FF3 very soon. And I don't run a single extension on FF.
Quite frankly, if Microsoft had released something like FF3, slashdot would have featured multiple articles per day about it.
FF3 is barely alpha quality, in my opinion. I am amazed how it was released with such inadequate QA.
what Psystar is doing is integrating Apple's IP into a new product. To do that they must license the IP from Apple
That's rubbish. I can buy a box of nails from the market. Nail it into my existing product & sell it. I don't have to license the nails for doing that.

I never thought you meant to bash others. Never attribute to
malice, that which can be explained by ignorance.
I thought we were talking about Govt funded research.
How is airplane & car govt funded research.
Other than that
1) Airplane

2) Cars
Far too many europeans made cars before the US did it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Trevithick - steam powered locomotive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Isaac_de_Rivaz - Internal Combustion Engine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Benz - Inventor of the modern automobile.
3) Nuclear Energy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Fermi - he emigrated to the US only
after he got the Nobel Prize

Can't restaurant owners buy cash registers which don't make automated records?
Or is there a law covering this in the US of 'Thereisalawforeverything' A?
If you don't like any of the answers, do let him know. He'll blame it
on his aids, retract the answer & give you new ones.
My solution was easier. Download IE7 & use it.

I don't understand you analogy. Is Psystar asked Apple to modify OSX to fit their boxes?
I think the right analogy is buying a Ferrari Engine & retrofitting it on a Pinto & selling
it. Can Ferrari sue Pinto for this?

Considering the number of scandals in which Siemens has been involved in the last few years, I guess
it would be a good idea to use this to spy on it's own employees

I think your whole argument is so 20th century.
In Soviet Russia, the weather manipulates you.
Please elaborate.
I didn't know so many men sent naked pictures while replying to a personal ad.
It's done with smoke and mirros.

They do it cleverly.
Telco company employees, wife's, brothers, mothers everyone donates.
50% of Obama's money comes from big donors.
That's rubbish.
He voted yes because
- He was scared that Repubs would project him as soft on terror
- He needs Telco money just like other politician
Read Glen Greenwald's series of articles on Obama's FISA vote.
Can you give some examples of some medicines which cost far more in USA than in Europe?
Are you blind?
In my post - I posted a link - she voted NO.
True. Obama needs Telco Money more than her.
Actually Clinton voted No.
Here's a link
Halfway through the movie, I would have guessed that Haley Joel Osment was Kaizer Soze.
