It should be obvious that this would happen.
Rather than taking the necessary steps to prevent most malicious hacking, just blame it on the hackers; say that there's 'no way' to secure against them.
Of course, there's really no guaranteed way to defend yourself against the truly superb hackers; but if you don't take the time to properly secure yourself, you get loonies in your box.
Do you REALLY need a book on how to program EXCEL? Good god, that's pretty pitiful if you think that you need excel to make a program.
WHy not just learn a USEFUL language, like basic or C++?
They are only doing this to suck money out of the pockets of the parents of children. Why not make it FREE and prove that you're actually doing it for a good reason?
Easy-to-crack passwords are probably the cause (at least initially) of most hackings, attacks, etc. Enforcing good, strong passwords doesn't just make sense in the sense of computers; it also makes sense in the business world.
Why do you need the e-mail of every person who's ever contacted you? Why is it better than, say, using a normal database?
BTW this reminds me of this thing i found that lets you use a g-mail account as a virtual hard drive.
The only problem will arise from the fact that people are stupid and lazy. They will look for something at the location it was in Word or whatever and they will not be able to find it. But I think every school district should do that. It makes sense; instead of spending money on proprietary software that will cost a lot of money, spend the money on the teachers, the students, the supplies. But don't put my tax dollars into Bill's pocket by licensing his product just because it's 'the industry standard'. It's not a standard, it's a program and file format.

All this stuff about Microsoft... It's scaring me
So they've finally realized that in order to survive they have to cooperate?
Why should WE have to pay the RECORD INDUSTRY even MORE if we LEGALLY own our music? I do not want to pay them TWICE for the same music.

If that ONE person I convert is saved from a virus by using Firefox, then that's good. It'll save a hundred somewhere down the line.

My e-mail makes me smarter!! Then again, that's mostly because it's on linux and it's a pain to get to it, access it, etc
Those must be some BORED scientists...
Really... who thinks it's THAT important to find out? And has access to equipment...
Why do you need the e-mail of every person who's ever contacted you? Why is it better than, say, using a normal database? BTW this reminds me of this thing i found that lets you use a g-mail account as a virtual hard drive.
So... it's gonna be about their experiences with media?
Like video, audio... and blogs??
Microsoft even HAS such a license? News to me. Anyway...
MySQL is probably one of the better known Open-Source projects, and the fact that it's this far is a wonderful sign for the rest of the world.
I loved the futurama reference.
How is hibernation going to PREVENT DEATH FROM INJURIES???

I agree, regulate the oil industry, not MEMORY. Not as many buy memory as buy gas. Come on.
