Have YOU ever had to argue with Microsoft to get another activation code?
No, not per say. Last time I had to do it, I called up their hotline and wasn't able to active through the automated system. When I got an operator I was told that Microsoft's support team's activation computers were down and that I wouldn't be able to activate over the phone at that time.
Easy solution: delete the offending O/S install (yes it was/is a legit key) and promptly installed Linux.
So to answer your question: No I didn't argue but the pain of activation has moved me thoroughly into the arms of open sauce.
You seem to have missed a step, the infamous x)???.
This seems to be a simple case where if we solve the equation: X=?

No speed problems at all (just no Aero). It ran about the same as 2000 did before it. Where have I heard this before... Wait, Windows ME, is that you?

Oh, and if you put the windmill high enough, can you also generate considerable electricity with the water as gravity brings it down to the ground? Or you could just use the wind to generate the electricity.
Your post ignores the fact that less money spent on space = more money that can be spent on food for the poor. And your post ignores the fact that money spent doesn't magically disappear and that it will eventually be passed down the economic food-chain. Of course it isn't a 1:1 coorelation down the economic food-chain but neither is money hand-outs to food.
All music you purchase or acquire on a subscription basis from the Zune Marketplace is subject to this agreement and any other applicable terms and conditions, including limitations imposed by the use of digital rights management (DRM) technology I think GP is referring to the fact that the music is subject to "any other applicable terms and conditions". It's not that MS is violating anything, they just pass the buck onto the music Industry to make up rules - hence the new "squirt" rule.
I believe the word you are looking for is autopsy. Biopsies are performed on the living, autopsies on the dead. You are correct. I believe, however, the word you are looking for is necropsy. An autopsy is performed on one's own species, a necropsy is performed on an animal or inanimate object.

Are you saying Sesame Street was involved with Enron? Sure was. They also support:

I think we can all see that Sesame Street isn't as innocent as we all thought.
BSE and CJD are very similar (same mechanism) but not exactly the sane disease (not exactly the same "diseased" protein shape), which also explains the longer incubation time. I agree since CJD occurs spontaneously (or with genetic pre-disposition), varient CJD is determined to have very similar properties to BSE and is the one which is believed to be linked to BSE.
The first test working on live animal has been developped in Göttingen, Germany. Thus sadly, the information is only available in the German version of wikipedia. (Though the german article mentions a later Texan discovery). My German is not strong, though I was able to get some information out of it (babelfish helped as well); these are interesting developments. Earlier in the wiki it states that Prionen cannot be proved until around 24-30 months of age and the test is 89% accurate with no false positives (quite good). My only concern is that in terms of the article, assuring the animals are clear of BSE could take a few years (24-30 months) and only IF they have been properly exposed to the BSE source (IE. They would have normally been infected).
But will they get a good positive in an infected animal? As far as I understand with MC, CWD, Scrapies, CJD and Varient CJD the only way to ensure accuracy of tests is through a biopsy of the brain tissue of a dead subject. While there are tests for live subjects (clinical observations) they are not definitive.
