My old Nokia came with a 640x400 camera and the camera in my current Nokia is 1600x1200. It's a huge difference and the 2MP photos rock! If you have a choice, go for the better camera!
Where the heck is Outlook? Isn't that a basic application?

This is another good reason why the EU shouldn't accept Microsoft's offer to share their server protocols source code with third party devs. If you look at the *specifications* and build something you are way better off than having looked at the source itself. If you look at the source you are "tainted" for life.
As long as it is possible and profitable, Microsoft will continue to do what they please and then buy a "get out of jail free card" when the need should arise.
This is the point of Windows XP N - just money is not enough.
Microsoft not getting enough credit for the technology they really invent is a good counterweight to the credit they claim when they copy everyone else. Just because Microsoft knows how to come up with a zazzy new name for everything doesn't mean that they've actually invented it.
In a few years all new cars sold in the EU must be able to call for help when they detect an accident. Basicly that means that every car has to have a built in phone and GPS. Then we'll se a lof more of this kind of crap. Is it too much to ask that the darn thing just gets you from point A to point B without you having to worry about who and where you are being watched / listened to?
This is indeed the really scary part. The EU project is in many ways an elitist project that first of all look out for the needs of big business. There are so many layers between the people in power and the voters that the chances of ordinary people affecting the outcome on any issue is close to zero.
The difference is that doctors don't actually *fix* patients. They can't make wounds heal, they can only assist the body's self healing process. If they could, no one would ever die from old age. On the other hand, engineers have no help fixing things that are broken -- a piece of software won't debug itself.
That is also why the bio-analogy is total BS. Life can evolve and adapt without the help of a creator. Techical systems on the other hand are constructs that depend on someone to build and update them.
It can't be easy to be in sales either. The Linux lawsuit badwill aside (and that is probably not an easy subject to avoid), who wants to buy software from a company that looks like it's going out of business?
Child porn sites are censored at the backbone level in Sweden. Next up for blocking are sites related to (adult) prostitution. It's just a matter of time before they throw in a few bittorrent trackers on that censor list aswell.
It's about time that Opera starts showing up in the stats instead of inflating Internet Explorer's market share. If MSIE's share drops enough, people will start making sites that take other browsers into account.
Bottom line: im never going to USA or other similar country of "freedom". Ever.
You are not alone. A lot of Europeans have got the "not welcome" message. Not in so many words, but the border reception shows what the US thinks about them. If other countries did the same thing to US citizens at their borders there would be an outrage. So visiting the US as a tourist, or going to a conference that isn't absolutely necessary is just out of the question.

Bart Simpson won the science fair for proving that hamsters can fly planes.
"Must be 18 years or older and a U.S. resident to qualify".
For the rest of the world: move along, there is nothing to see.

Since Sony BMG is involved I guess it's really "download-to-be-pwn3d"
I can find that at the shop around the corner. It even includes a coupon to go and see where they're building the Egyptian pyramids...
Sue? Just get ya homie's and do a drive-by. Oh... wait...

When we're talking Microsoft viral marketing, the sky is the limit.
Build a portable version and bring it along to knock out any nasty cameras that would have documented your activity.
AntiPiratByrån even paid for server upgrades (HDDs) so the guy they hired could upload more "evidence"!
Sure, you can opt-out of these, but you will never be accepted at a job that requires them.
I would never accept a job that requires them.
1) At gunpoint.
2) Getting four guys to hold me down long enough.
3) Killing me first.
But there is only one way to make it stick. And that is #3.
