I have done, they gave me free copies of everything I need. But don't check, because they'll deny it because they don't want to do that for everyone. Oh, and I lost the bit of paper that said I could have it all for free. And I don't have the CDs because they just said I could download the iso's off the internet and it wouldn't be a problem.
Definitely not. IE means they get to put the word Microsoft in the *application titlebar* of every web app running on it (quite a few, believe me), and every website people look at using it. The words "Microsoft Internet" being drilled subconsciously into the minds of everyone using it. That's a huge advantage they're not gonna wanna get rid of.

You could make it into a game, have a xbox style controller, a small screen with a crosshair, and computer imagery would replace the brown star with a black hole, where aliens come out and you have to kill kill KILL HAAahaaa.... sorry, a little carried away there... and then of cause, different difficulty levels can be achieved through eating slightly rotten veg.
Then you can use it to get kids to eat their dinner, "if you don't eat, you won't have any aliens to shoot!".

The thing is, these "flaws" of toilets are what give them their charm. Sitting next to me is a 70-year-old, worn-down toilet that I alone have used a number of times (not to mention its numerous prior owners). If you were to take away the personality, the weak flushing and beauteous stains, the feel of the seat, the heft and mass, I'd rarely crap in it; it would merely be another toilet sitting in my living room or what-have-you. Certainly, I run the risk of losing it after a curry, but I accept that risk because I'm just so glad to have it.
I see your redback and raise you a redneck... actually, I'm gonna raise a hundred rednecks, yargh har! My own redneck zombie army!!! Will definitely need a computerised toilet for them (<whisper>they don't even know to wipe!</whisper>)
It took 5 days for a car my secretary sent to reach me, because it got stuck in traffic. You see, cars aren't like trucks, you can't just dump loads of stuff onto them. Cars are a cereal of tubes, they run on... I'm not finished, they run on milk in a bowl. Excelsior!
AIDS isn't a virus, it's a collection of symptoms that describes the state of your immune system, caused, for example, when the HIV virus destroys it so it can no longer protect you from infection. But not necessarily, there are other paths to it, just nowhere near as common.
I agree that we hardly have a shortage of people, but dude... cancer's not a virus! It's completely natural, occuring due to genetic mutation during cell division, and most of the time goes completely unnoticed - the immune system takes care of it. Sometimes tho, it gets out of hand, and it's very sad for the people involved. We should be worried about prolonging life to the point where we can't support people (we already don't do a great job at that). Education and improving living conditions helps - population growth is decreasing in developed countries, because people have lives and careers and are putting off having kids til later and later.
Unfortunately, the uneducated tend to reproduce a lot more, with most of their kids growing up little and doing the same.
If we keep working on educating and improving opportunities for people, hopefully the effects will cancel out those of our continued study of extending life; something that's/not/ going to stop (nor should it).

I thought bending of space time was just a mathmatical abstraction... bending space time, or just pull everything around you, actually both work out exactly the same (mathmatically, and physically).
I agree with you, if I can change the definition of "agree" to mean "you can't change definitions of words just because you don't agree with what they should classify!".
A planet's a planet's a planet, a round (which implies large enough to form rounded under its own gravitation pull) object orbiting a star. If you want some other way of classifying objects, make up new words (or annoy geologists by nicking more of theirs).
If you start redefining words, you all of a sudden have to take the extra time to make sure that all parties of a discussion agree to use the same one, otherwise you can be talking about completely different things, and the whole purpose of language goes out the window.
Totally with you... and... it's a goddamn planet, and I'll smack anyone who says otherwise (within reach of my hand). "But it's too small"? Obviously not small enough to have formed a spherical(enough) shape under its own gravitational pull. "But, jupitors moon..." IS A MOON, it orbits a planet, a planet orbits the sun.

"Microsoft is doing this to avoid federal govt problems and put on a good show"
No they're not. They're doing it because they think that if they do, they'll get access to the code, idiots.
"Because Microsoft's reason for existance is the same for all corporations"
To sit in their big corporation buildings with all their money, and be all corporationy... and um... err... global warming!

"The problem with this is that all the volunteers won't see a penny"
That's why they're called volunteers!! "without pay" is part of the definition. Therefore, if they did see a penny, they wouldn't be volunteers!

quite simply, stuff isn't nothing.

So you're saying definition of "planet" = "more interesting than a moon"?
Why does a planet have to be more interesting?
I agree with you, if I can change the definition of "agree" to mean "you can't change definitions of words just because you don't agree with what they should classify!".

We're a world gone mad!
They're just p***ed off because whilst they can share the name, they can't share the domain name!
"Seriously though, the word 'nucleus' has several different definitions in different branches of science, and I've never had problems with it"
Well I do because I don't know which one you've never had a problem with! *ARGH*
