From TFA:...a space flight participant may not carry on board any explosives, firearms, knives, or other weapons... As the commercial activity in this sector expands, the TSA will likely take a larger role in developing standards and monitoring compliance.
In TSA speak, this means: no liquids/gels over 3.5 oz; please remove your shoes and prepare for you cavity search.
In that case wouldn't the lawsuit be directed at Microsoft for unfair practices?
I don't think so as it's a sales agreement / contract entered into voluntarily by both parties (M$ and HP). HP doesn't have to sell Windoze, but then M$ doesn't have to sell it at a discount either.
In addition, supporting multiple OSs would probably hurt the vendor's profit margin by requiring additional and/or more experienced tech support (such as it is)...
HP sells a product that apparently could cost less without the OS installed. So why doesn't someone else just sell a barebones PC?... why must HP sell HP products any way other then the way HP wants?
Generally, because the volume sales agreement HP has with M$ is probably conditional or based on HP selling a copy of Windoze with every PC (or at least HP paying for a copy for each), otherwise the discounts go out the window.
Dude, be sure to list/. in your footnotes so your professor knows you don't have any independent thought in your term paper. Why don't you do some real research and tell us why we all hate M$?
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Of course, the following passage was deleted from the scriptures by unanimous consent of the church elders:
If a woman lies with a woman as one lies with a man, that's just hot.
Actually, the original meaning of "lies" (untruth) has been lost in translation... In modern practice, it's NOT cool to tell your buddy that you're going to the gym, when you are, in fact, going to a friend's house to watch football on his 60" plasma TV w/surround sound. Your girlfriend, now that another story...
Hopefully society will change where a judge will be able to come up with punishments that aren't so expensive to institute.
Perhaps he could be forced to actually watch those movies, though at least one of them could be considered "cruel and unusual". Lucky for him he didn't distribute "Miss Congeniality 2"...
The California Attorney General's Office negotiated a $14.5 million payoff from HP as part of a settlement that calls for the state not to pursue civil charges...
I guess everyone has their price. Perhaps someone can calculate what percentage of HP's net worth is $14.5 million so others could use that same percentage to settle their civil suits with CA...
He should have also presented his research to the TSA and the airlines.

I know this is an extreme comparison, but how'd that sort of thing work out for Karen Silkwood? She went old-school public and got killed! Perhaps the immediate notoriety offered by the web is "safer".

I believe that Eddie Izzard asked it best, "Cake or Death"?
"Cake or death?" That's a pretty easy question. Everybody - anyone could answer that. "Cake or death?" "Uhh, cake please." "Very well! Give him cake!" "Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice!"
"You! Cake or death?" "Uh, cake for me, too, please!" "Very well! Give him cake, too!" (We're gonna run out of cake at this rate.)
"You! Cake or death?" "Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..." "You said death first, ah-ha, ah-ha, death first!" "Well, I meant cake!" "Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!"
"Cake or death?" "Uh, cake please." "Well, we're out of cake! We only had three bits and we didn't expect such a rush! So what'll it be?" "What, so my choice is 'or death?' Well, then I'll have the chicken, please."

Is there any data on its diameter/circumference? If it's spinning at 1000 RPS, and it's more than 186 miles around then wouldn't its surface (event horizon?) be traveling FTL?
...world oil production will continue to increase for the next 24 years, and then only level into a plateau. The report, which suggests that world reserves are enough to last 122 years at our current rate of consumption...
So production will increase for 24 years then plateau for 98 years, then we run out of oil. Tell me, how does one maintain a stable rate of production for a increasingly scarce commodity without increased expense or effort?
It would appear that the future of cheap oil is questionable.

I guess I need to have my eyes. Of course, the way people are addicted to Web Tech these days, I may be on to something - so to speak.

Every week they travel to unimaginable worlds, meet (and kill) new people, then write about it on their SG blogs ...

Watch some TV dude!

This poet obviously never got stoned, otherwise he would know that the Universe is actually in his thumb.
Damn non-hippie.

I'm guessing it would be *very* affordable. :-)
