Will this switch on a large level impact the EU's suit against MS? If there are large numbers of computers, especially at the government level, that do not use MS at all, does this not take the force out of the meme, "It's a monopoly, kill it now," or is there more to this than is clear at present?
on Slashdot, we don't decide anything--everything gets discussed ad infinitum ad nauseum and then archived when people get tired of clicking "more" to mod or read others' comments.
and even more... you have vodka, those furry warm hats, and thousands and thousands of genuine (read replica) medals from Soviet Army officers who need money for food)... oh, and spam, lots and lots of spam.
Yes, but you won't like the answer. You can buy Adobe Acrobat Pro... between 100-400 dollars depending on your version type, source, etc. Somewhat cheaper programs can be found that are less robust but do something similar (~40 dollars). There's probably a free pdf creator / modder around, but other than cutepdf (which is just a glorified printer), I don't know of one.
to point out another britain that never gets mentioned... Aldous Huxley (descendant of Darwin's Bulldog, Thomas Huxley), created a world where entertainment was the way to control the masses. From "sex training" in childhood clear through to the universal use of a drug similar in many ways to ecstasy, entertainment became the key to running the world and all its people.
I think you meant this to be funny--I am not 100% sure on that though given the current trends in culture. Being a hero to your nation doesn't mean squat when you are also a sociopathic mass murderer.
I will not be buying a computer that doesn't come with some way of getting an install disk--at least not as long as I use windows. I greatly appreciate Dell allowing me to still get it (though I don't much like paying 10 bucks for the under $1 disc)
Why then is the hard drive (spinning or otherwise) always the first thing to die on my stationary system (I understand the issue of constantly moving around a laptop affecting stability)?
NB - I'm not a programmer and this may be completely obvious to most.
And this is why agricultural research and seed preservation needs more government funding and not less. Part of both the Bush and Obama administrations' budget cuts have included this (a quick google search will net you several news articles on the subject).
In line with the other comments, should it not be surprising to you, if luck is a big part of the situation, that Gates, a hard worker, made it big?
Adding to this, though, various "hard workers" seem to come from the outlier groups of society... groups that already don't meet the norm...
More than the likely number of US presidents have been red-haired... more have been left-handed. Bill Gates is left-handed as are most of the other ridiculously famous people throughout history. I would suggest that groups stand out because they started out different and were forced to do more. Those right-handed men and women throughout history are outliers in some other fashion.
That it took until "fourth" to lose faith in humanity makes you a much more hopeful person than I--all it took for me was yet another "first post" troll
How does this lawsuit impact the exceptions to the DMCA in the US? Does it create a loophole allowing the RIAA to sue even more people with an otherwise obviously overt right to do their research / make their copies?

Given the tack this site (appropriately) has on Scientology, why did
In my mind, there's nothing at all awesome about Tom Cruise...

it also works well as a tutor for learning to use the arrow keys and carriage return / enter... played that way quite a bit when my mouse didn't work

realized that right after I posted--thanks for the correction for everyone else though--didn't feel like editing my own typo :)
marked +5 Funny, yet anyone clicking the link will get an error as apparently they really are slashdotted... or else, the website doesn't exist yet.

The hogshead is missing too.
That would be because the hogshead is a US customary unit rather than a "strange unit"

given the "purrr purrr," he appears to have mistyped rather than committed a "geek card revocation" offense

1 euro per song or ...? And do I then own the song or... why not pay the euro fine in advance and call it "Itunes Plus"
Bring back Madam Guillotine! Viva revolution!
You have mixed your languages here:

I'd love to be part of a school where every seat had a computer... thankfully, they pay me instead
