InfoPath is one of the programs in one of the Microsoft Office 2003 packages. It allows XML form creation and editing; you can create forms that people could fill out online.
Everyone now thinks its this kid's fault, when really they ought to be screaming firstly at Microsoft for making OS's out of paper mache,
As alluded to before, by that logic, we should blame the US and New York City for not being the World Trade Center towers safer, especially from attacks as bin Laden demonstrated.
And a penalty is a way of encouraging them not to something they did wrong again, is it not? (Not that any other of the court cases against Microsoft have seemed to do any good either.)
One thing stopping people from switching to Linux is gaming; nearly all of the games are made for Windows (and some for Mac OSX). Programs like Cedega may be able to do this, but people would shy away from emptying their wallet just to get Cedega, which AFAIK isn't flawless in some games' cases. So, the natural course is to somehow make it free. Of course, the work put into Cedega may not deserve a pricetag of $0 or something less than $45, but it has (?) to be done.
A family member of mine works at Delphi Automotive Systems. They've already outsourced jobs to India. One major thing he notices is that while the Indian programmers are bright, they really don't have a concept of common sense. They required specific instructions. If you were to tell them to do something, they'd ask for the specifics; they wouldn't be able to find out how to do it on their own.
Note: Of course, that's just a case with the workers that DPH employed. Though it may not necessarily apply to all Indian IT workers, it applies to a lot, aside from my example.
A popular, untrue (http://www.space.com/news/spacehistory/saturn_fiv e_000313.html) urban legend, started in 1996, states that NASA has lost or destroyed the blueprints or other plans for the Saturn V. In fact, the plans still exist on microfilm at the Marshall Space Flight Center, though it seems unlikely that future engineers will find that the plans will come in handy after the subsequent 40-plus years of advances in rocket science.
Though not a very good excuse, it seems they still have the plans. It's only Wikipedia, though, and that part of the article could be false.
Indonesia's information minister, Sofyan Djalil, said, "Microsoft is being realistic. They can't force developing countries like us to solely use legal software since we can't afford it. They want us to gradually reduce our use of it."
So it's okay to pirate software if you can't afford it? Oh hey, I can't afford the normal license price for Adobe Premier Pro, should I go ahead and pirate it? Bottom line is, if they can't afford MS's products, they should look at the other, legal alternatives; for example, OpenOffice, *nix, etc. Not being able to afford something doesn't mean it entitles you to illegally obtain it otherwise, or similarly.
I wonder when they're going to do this for the WRT54GS counterpart. It shouldn't be too hard to get it to work with the WRT54GS, should it? Though the wireless part...

People tend to forget that eating right isn't the only part of losing weight/staying healthy. Exercise is an integral part. Now, if the people who were conducting the study added on exercise to this little "experiment", they'd hopefully get better results.
I'm a former Mailblocks user. I moved to Mailblocks after using Yahoo Mail (this was last year) and was extremely impressed with Mailblocks. One of the trademark features that Mailblocks sports is the Trackers feature, which allows you to use "disposable" email addresses. You get 5 of them with a free account. After I found GMail, I pretty much left Mailblocks, only checking my Mailblocks inbox once every other week. Why did I switch? GMail, IMHO, sported a better UI, and had a lot of storage. Even if Mailblocks/AIM Mail decided to get a 2GB quota (still less than GMail), I still probably won't switch unless there are some more improvements; like free POP3/IMAP and SMTP with the free account. Also, it'd be nice if AIM Mail had a web-based service; I haven't found a link for it yet.

Cars themselves never crash. It's the people that drive or interfere with them that crash the cars. Sure, the warning systems may increase the person's awareness, but there's always going to be a chance of the car crashing.
What do the RIAA *really* have to benefit from all of this, aside from a huge profit? Intimidation. They obviously know that half of their cases wouldn't stand up in court anyway (oh wait a minute, I forgot they had huge pockets and huge teams of lawyers), so they take the horrible way out (for us) and demand huge settlements.
From what I've seen the RIAA will never throw in the towel unless legislation is brought up to impede on their "progress." As long as they can make a huge profit, they'll continue.
This is why I'm writing to both of my state's senators on why they should impose legislation to prevent the RIAA from taking all of this action. There's a better way to prevent piracy instead of suing dead 83 year-old people.

I'm suing you for the moral suffering inflicted upon me because of your comments regarding democracy.
Before you mod me down, lighten up. Or at least, tell the Russian woman that...
You evil evil patent infringer, Amazon already patented that.
Did you notice the "IMHO" bit? Though facts that would prove that open source does in fact do that would be informative.
The point of the judicial branch is to make sure that the other branches don't abuse their powers,
Not really. Making sure that the other two branches don't abuse their power is the checks and balances system working.
I interpreted the "point" to also mean "purpose".
And a penalty is a way of encouraging them not to something they did wrong again, is it not? (Not that any other of the court cases against Microsoft have seemed to do any good either.)
If you could convert the heat a P4 gives off into energy, you'd no longer have to have fuel cells power your wireless mouse.
Exactly.

Also, the rest of the article pretty much has an old laptop in mind, not a good laptop.

Or, the Empire should look into using Linux instead of Windows.
No kidding.
