Assuming it's not a circular disk, like everything is, and assuming there is no reading/writing mechanism,
5.25 * 5.25 * 2 sides = 55.125sq inches.
Still off, but not by as much.
The main problem with that is the question - is anything that happens to be in that field perfectly safe? I mean, people are complaining about cell phone radiation, and here you want basically force fields flying above them?
As I stated in another comment, Microsoft does not completely rely on its portal for revenue, as Google does. All of Google's profit is from online applications.
What the grandparent means is that Google is a web-portal, and all* of their services use the internet as a content-distribution and ad-revenue source. If the internet drastically changes to either fragment or remove much of that profit, Google is practically dead.
However, if that happens, MSN will be in the same boat, but Microsoft does not only rely on MSN for revenue - in fact, most of its revenue is from other sources, so the move will in effect kill Google, and sacrifice part of Microsoft's business.
*) Google sells enterprise search hardware as well, but it isn't as big a revenue producer as AdSense.
Same point then, I'm sure one of the office applications can just be run from a flash drive, if necessary. I personally use MSOffice, so I can't comment, but if I'm wrong, tell me.
If you're at a computer that doesn't have firefox, or any other required browser (as many don't), and if you have the necessary permissions to install firefox, you have the permissions to install any office suite as well.
I have always been one of the few that learns much better without notes, and for who endless hours of studying do not help in the slightest. Recently, instead of going to lectures for notes and such, I go and interact with the professor - ask questions, do problems on paper that are similar but not exact from the examples. (Homework is a good idea). That way, if I run into a concept that we should have covered, but didn't, I ask right then and there, as the rest of the class would need to know it as well.
Also, the people I sit next to in class are more of the traditional learners - take down notes, and then spend a lot of time studying. So far, I've gotten higher grades, although that is not indicative of anything, but I have definitely spent less time studying.
This is for a CS Theory class, by the way - basically logic fundamentals.
They were definitely not children's movies. I just rewatched one of the Soul Music episodes, and there was a girl topless in one of the scenes. Can't imagine how that got through the editors.
Wow, I fit right into the slashdot crowd, noticing these things.

What, no DVD+R?
No thanks, then.

It seemed serious until the end there.
And we all know there are no McDonalds in European space, right?
Simple - Gravity sucks. *rimshot*

Business users? Yes, if they use more than 30GB on their computers, they are (probably) doing something seriously wrong.
On my home computer, however, I have over 500GB storage, and all but 4GB of it is full.
Yes, I so want that.
Oh, and the monitor is cool too.

You say it as a joke, but recently we've had lectures of 5 total people... of the 80+ in the class.
Some of those other 75 could really use the attendance, if the grades are any indication.

That is definitely a joke, for those that don't get it ;-)

Am I addicted? Not in the traditional sense of the word, of course.
Where's the big foot icon for this post? I mean, reading the article, it's obvious it's a parody.
... Oh, wait...
Do the editors not edit or something?
I think quantity, not quality is the point here.
Just make sure you don't level up three times before he does!
Who's the man!?
That actually came out a few years after the alleged quote.
