The radioactivity in soil stays put, burning coal releases it into the air. If you live downwind of a coal power station you might want to borrow a Geiger counter and check out your garden (or not, if you prefer ignorance).
Well, yeah, but it's a huge slice of their profits, easily more than half.
XP and Office have been around for many years, do you think $388m will worry them? Not even slightly (assuming they pay up, which they won't until several rounds of appeals, counter-lawsuits and bribery).
I don't know how a five-mile umbrella could block 10% of the energy but sol long as it degrades within a month and/or has a self-destruct then it might be a good way to do this experiment.
'Unix' machines need to start up with a cross shaped cursor, a horrible background color and two-color windows with a 3x3 grid of lines across them when resizing.
X11 is a separate download/install on Mac so it's not a realman's Unix.
I heard they did it to spite the RIAA (Warner's movie content will mysteriously vanish but the RIAA's content will still be available...subject to a suitable monthly payment from the RIAA)
Huh? Are you sayign it's a joke? I just went to http://thepiratebay.org/ and it's confirmed there...I don't think an april fooler could hack into their site and change it.

Are those peer-reviewed newspapers you're reading?
Oh, wait, you said "newspaper" ... a place where somebody called an 'editor' gets to pick stories which fit his agenda.

Pirates are probably quite big.
This lawsuit? Insignificant.

The answer will be a resounding YES.
$388 million is about three days profit for Microsoft, as the person who wrote the headline ought to know.

So long as they use something that settles out of the atmosphere within a couple of months then the "damage" will be short lived.
Do we get reparations for the warming being caused by the USA (they use 25% of the world's energy with their excessive behaviour).
What makes them think the USA is the only country which can do this unilaterally? There's plenty of countries which could do it if they saw fit.
"Hundreds"? Call back when he has "millions", ie. enough for a spammer to care.
So to sign up he has to copy the image into photoshop and start separating the color channels...?
I think you missed the entire point of the article (assuming you even read it...)
...yet they still managed to get into bankruptcy and bailouts.
MAD was the destruction of industrialized continents, not despotic third-world countries.
Using nukes to take out a Libyan dictator would do the USA more harm than good in the long term.
Macs were ten times worse - no eject button on the drive. IIRC the way to get your floppy was to drag the floppy disk icon to the trashcan.
Totally intuitive gesture, that one. I guess this is the "easy to use" interface that Mac fans are always sighing over.
Maybe they need to promote more skeptical TV programs on Discovery Channel.
What if there's not enough money to put everybody's best interests first? That's the problem.
Compromises HAVE to be made. There will ALWAYS be a (not-insignificant) percentage of the population complaining that the health system is crap.
Will there even be enough copper available to distribute it? These aren't data cables, they're power cables.

It's not noon yet in some obscure island of Micronesia.
(where they probably don't even do April Fools...)
What's to stop you pulling the hard drive out and making a backup?

Duh! The point of an April fool's is to play along, not to show how "clever" you are by spotting it (playing along is much cleverer than that...)
Who runs OO on Windows? The only point of this "test" is to see if Linux can keep up or not.
Me? I've just ordered a white netbook.
