I understand why companies would want the DRM although I'm pretty sure (at least I hope) the market will win in this one and kill the DRM industry. Creative Commons and other OpenSource licenses FTW!

Devon-Technologies makes some great software also for finding and researching information, still doesn't provide much more then relevancy though. No real evaluation methodology, this is mainly left to your own critical thinking capacity. Unfortunately this "capacity" is often times ignored in terms of most education systems, and at best possibly overlooked or students may even be given a dash of critical thinking knowledge. Although they really need this more then anything.
Research databases from your university libraries, etc. are obviously some of the best places to look as these libraries pay large sums of currency to allow students access. They are generally not paying for garbage articles written by morons, I have a slight bit more faith in their selection capacity. I think that's safe to hope for at least.

Great point - This plays off the idea of positive & negative freedoms. While you have the freedom and capacity (mental & physical) to make these modifications they also have the right to say that with these modifications you've made to your own property you are now unable to utilize our network. They make the rules, it's their network that you subscribe to.
Anyone reading this that lives in the USA should know this - if you don't agree with or wish to support this then don't consume it, don't allow capitalism to foster and strive there and if enough people are also dissatisfied then the company (in this case Microsoft) will have to alter their original plans. This is the idea of market logic and capitalism.
Ha - I'd also agree with you there. It's really unfortunate about how little people pay attention to their grammatical abilities and believe that their communication skills really do not impact their ability to perform well in a job, let alone receive a job offer.
Sign up for an undergraduate research position - start a group at your school. I work at a place at BGSU known as Digital Media Research Group (http://thedmrg.com) and it's wonderful.
Check it out!
You make me want to puke. the end. Flash works on Mozilla Firefox, and almost all browsers and operating system combinations and Adobe can successfully report I believe a 97.7% installation of all computers connected to the internet. You can find that statistic here. http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashp layer/. Thanks - now go kill yourself.
This is always quite an interesting discussion, especially because MS Entourage can not even import from a MS Outlook database...doesn't seem to make sense. Although I would say that MBOX formats are probably your best bet...unless you want to write your own exporting,parsing,sorting system.

Mirror? Seems to be /.'d already. Cheers mate.
Lol - before you sue the RIAA you gotta get thousands of people to download it. Then you can charge them some insane amount of money per download.

Then find themselves lacking any sort of academic citation showing any sort of a resemblance of an authority in communicating such an idea.
http://www.amazon.com/Asking-Right-Questions-Critical-Thinking/dp/0132203049/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200654681&sr=8-1 So many people are unaware of how to process information, evaluate it for quality and authority, and then integrate it into their own opinions and other resources to articulate a coherent thought. Great resources posted above (Asking the Right Questions) as well as the systematic literature review that "stranger_to_himself" posted above.

Agreed. I think we just need to send people "The World is Flat" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0374292795/sr=8-1 /qid=1155844973/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-9971751-1890423?i e=UTF8 and send them to Wikipedia or something for the rest. Maybe to some of the following links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale
oh - and lastly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_cost

Fast Company Magazine actually just posted an article regarding Google Mashups being used for Games. Check it on out! http://blog.fastcompany.com/archives/2006/08/10/go ogle_games.html?partner=rss
I had this happen with a Joomla CMS installation - same hacker group.
