It would not be feasible in this competition because either the archive must be self-extracting, or that the decompression app's size is included in the final result.
A lookup table of 32 bits would immediately cause an overhead of over 20 GB bytes (assuming an average of 5 letters per word, which is probably too small for the number of word options in 32 bits).

Why do you assume that I was equating anti-Microsoft with pro Open Source? I like open source, and I am not anti-Microsoft.
Do you deny that there are some people on Slashdot who will never accept Microsoft products even if they turn out to be good? I am not intending a flame war on whether products are good or bad, just that it wouldn't matter if they were good to some people here.
No. Noise cancellation would not be effective over speakers, and noise cancelling headphones have limited effectiveness in silencing voice.
Good quality noise cancelling headphones are great for reducing low-frequency sounds, such as airplane engine rumble, but they are not as effective in the 2 to 8 kHz consonant range that conveys much of the speech intelligibility.
How does ChatterBlocker work?
ChatterBlocker masks unwanted office chatter using a soothing blend of nature sounds, music and anti-chatter voices.
It also offers mindfulness meditation tracks intended to increase concentration, reduce distractibility and minimize the stress response to office noise.
So i guess the way it works is by making sounds that blend with other background noises, but aren't as annoying (in theory).
Well, if you really think about it, it could be both. God created a set of creatures a long time ago, and then they started to evolve into other creatures.
The purpose of activation is to prevent an install from being straight duplicated over to multiple systems. It is reasonable for the activation check to think it has been moved on a motherboard swap because the motherboard is essentially the core of the system. I am not saying anything about the goodness of the check, just that a motherboard swap is reasonable for the check to fail on.
Personally I don't care about activation. I've never had any problem during upgrades or installs. If i did have a problem, i'd just make a phone call to Microsoft to correct the problem.
For those who do not understand the reference, the expression "my hovercraft is full of eels" is part of the hungarian translation book sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. It happens to be here on youtube.
A Hungarian tourist (John Cleese) approaches the clerk (Terry Jones). The tourist is reading haltingly from a phrase book.
Hungarian: I will not buy this record, it is scratched. Clerk: Sorry? Hungarian I will not buy this record, it is scratched. Clerk: Uh, no, no, no. This is a tobacconist's. Hungarian: Ah! I will not buy this *tobacconist's*, it is scratched. Clerk: No, no, no, no. Tobacco...um...cigarettes (holds up a pack). Hungarian: Ya! See-gar-ets! Ya! Uh...My hovercraft is full of eels. Clerk: Sorry? Hungarian: My hovercraft (pantomimes puffing a cigarette)...is full of eels
(pretends to strike a match). Clerk: Ahh, matches! Hungarian: Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya! Do you waaaaant...do you waaaaaant...to come
back to my place, bouncy bouncy? Clerk: Here, I don't think you're using that thing right. Hungarian: You great poof. Clerk: That'll be six and six, please. Hungarian: If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?
I...I am no longer infected. Clerk: Uh, may I, uh...(takes phrase book, flips through it)...Costs six and
six...ah, here we are. (speaks weird Hungarian-sounding words) Hungarian punches the clerk.
Meanwhile, a policeman (Graham Chapman) on a quiet street cups his ear as if hearing a cry of distress. He sprints for many blocks and finally enters the tobacconist's.
Cop: What's going on here then? Hungarian: Ah. You have beautiful thighs. Cop: (looks down at himself) WHAT?!? Clerk: He hit me! Hungarian: Drop your panties, Sir William; I cannot wait 'til lunchtime.
(points at clerk) Cop: RIGHT!!! (drags Hungarian away by the arm) Hungarian: (indignantly) My nipples explode with delight!
When I added ram, I had to reactivate. When I switched video cards, I had to reactivate
That's strange because I've done both to my existing system since its initial install (replaced onboard with a pci-e radeon card) and upgraded from 512 to 1024, and I didn't have a reactivation request at either step.
I can understand a reactivation with a motherboard swap, but not with a RAM upgrade.

If firewalls are a sign of weakness, why does Linux come with a firewall built-in?

If you had more time, is there a new feature you would have liked to include in IE7?
A better question: Are you aware that no matter what answers you give here, they will never satisfy the anti-Microsoft Slashdot crowd?
I was running chatterblocker at the time.
In other news, slashdot search queries for "wretchedhiveofscumandvillainy" increases dramatically.

This article involves lasers. The proper obligatory quote in this situation involves sharks with frikken "lasers" on their heads.
So first the sharks "manipulate" his molecules, then use the lasers just to be sure?
