I meant to say "$1000 dlrs/mo is CONSIDERED a very good salary by EMPLOYERS". In other words, it's very difficult to get it. Most IT jobs here in Mexico City offer you a crappy $600/mo. Are these guys kidding or what?
we went thru a HORRIBLE crisis on 94, the dollar was valued 3 pesos per dollar. Now it's near 11, meaning software costs about 3 times more.
Would you be paying 600 dollars for a legitimate copy of Windows XP? And here a very good pay is $1000 dollars a month. It's no mystery then that most software in Mexico is pirated.
Still it's an awful dependance on foreign products (businesses MUST use legitimate software), which is another reason why i support the OpenDocument initiative.

I know, it's not feasible, but we ought to take into account the loss for global-warming caused disasters, like Katrina; the health costs spent on treating lung diseases, cancer, heart attacks, not to mention the food shortage (due to poisoning the environment), etc. etc.
On a second thought, perhaps a tax discount on hybrid cars could be more feasible.

However, if you actually ARE going to murder someone, you probably should not look up "snap" and "neck" or "how to murder someone" via google.
Usually those who get caught are not "profr. Moriarty" cold-blooded murderers who calculate all their movements and erase all possible evidence. But rather emotionally unstable people who, in a desperate situation, opt to kill the one causing them trouble
And when you're in a desperate situation, you usually don't think "Ah... will the police use the google caché to judge me?"
To quote CSI: -The murderer made his second mistake. -Second? What was the first? -Murder.
No. Unless you wrote the song in the first place, you are simply doing a cover version.
There's also something known as "arrangements". "Jazzman" made a very nice arrangement of the Final Fantasy theme (google for "Jazzman Originals"). There's a dance remix version of Pachelbel's Canon in D somewhere in P2P. Just because you have the "source" doesn't mean you can't add your own taste to it.
Usually in these cases, the credits cover the original author, and add: "Arrangement (c) NNNN by Author". Some authors however, forbid to make derivative works of their songs without their permission.
And this is the REAL meaning of "copy-right", not that RIAA crap.
an idea that nobody has been able to implement yet. Decompose the channels using AI and signal processing and sample them to provide a midi-like file in the output. I know it's possible because the human ear can recognize the different instruments in a song. Just by paying attention you are able to differenciate the signals.
After the samples are played, the difference is stored, possibly in different levels to attain lossy compression.
Human voice treatment would add some complexity: Besides frequency, you need to change the phonemes, but as we've seen in text-to-speech software, it's also possible to do this.
Unfortunately i doubt anyone is working on it, so this wonderful compression technique may not appear in 10 years or more.
They could've just included an XBOX subsystem inside the 360, just like the Commodore 128 had a C64 subsystem. 99.9% compatibility guaranteed. And didn't the SNES have (to be bought separately) a NES adapter? Didn't the PS2 play PS1 games? Can't the Gamecube play GBA games?
Frankly I can't understand why the decision of software emulation. But well, this is Microsoft.
and here are more or less the electoral fraud techniques used by the party in power for about 70 years:
* "pregnant urns". Before the votes took place, urns were already filled with votes. * Operation "Carousel" - groups of persons voting twice, or more * Operation "Tamal" (a tamal is some kind of corn candy kept inside corn leaves). You grab two ballots and fold them, so now you vote for two. * Operation "Ratón Loco" (crazy mouse). Some guy steals the urns in strategic areas (specially where the opposition is strong) and disappears. * Vote rewriting. Before impartial organisms counted the votes, the people in charge would alter votes that were against the party in power, and nullify them. * Dead votes. People who had died managed miraculously to resurrect and vote in favor of the official candidate.
And the most famous of all... (drum rolls, please) The system crash. In the 1988 elections, after all the ballots were collected, the computer counting the votes suddenly went down, and when the system was up again, the votes now favored the official candidate.
After having to endure all these forms of electoral fraud, laws in Mexico became stricter to make the elections safe from frauds. These laws were promoted and approved, of course, by the opposition congressmen. One of these measures, was the inclusion of photographs in the voting credential (official ID). Another was having a designated area to vote according to your registered address. The voting areas are usually schools or museums, not farther than 5 or 6 blocks from your home.
As a result of all these measures, we finally had a president from the opposition party in 2000.
And it's kinda ironic that we have surpassed the U.S. (whom we had taken as model for transparency and democracy) because of U.S. problems like electronic voting machines, and because we use the popular vote and have more than two political parties.
API features are implemented linearly. But the number of programs supported by ReactOS will increase exponentially. Perhaps in a year we might have a usable Beta of ReactOS.

Body-mass index of 66.7. Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. No wonder they got extinct.
So that means that couch potatoes DO descend from the apes?
TAKE THAT, Intelligent Design!
let's not forget that the rootkit would have to distribute the source code with it!
...hmmmm Nah.
Hmmm I wonder...
$sys$rootkit.cpp
$sys$rootkit.h
$sys$drm.cpp
$sys$drm.h
$sys$lgpl.txt
Since it's become a fundamental part of the operating system (try to delete it if you don't believe me :P), then there's no obligation, right? ^^;

Lots of bullshit gets patented.
Wrong. Lots of bullshit are the ones who PATENT stuff.

...I'll already have ReactOS installed in my PC. Oh, btw, this week ReactOS reached version 0.2.8.
Of course, ReactOS will be installed in a dual-boot with the latest Linux, which I hope, will be user-and-hardware friendly by then.
while the NES patents are about to expire in 2013, we already got emulators for the GBA, and in-the-works for the DS.

Will sony give removal instructions? Their downloadable "patch" only updates their rootkit, but doesn't uninstall it.
In twenty or so years we may look back at Microsoft Research with the same admiration we have for Bell Labs.

Well, they caught up with our hatred for Ma' Bell in NO TIME. That ought to say something
