Never had an issue with vista since I installed it right when it was first released. Runs well on my old Dell Domension 8300 box. Not crashed. Not slow when copying lots of files. I use it to serve all my MP3 (>250 Megs) throughout my house. I run NTI Shadow 3 in the background to backup My Docs, photos and music to my LACIE network drive. I run McAfee in the background and a bunch of other stuff. I'm not a tech-boy, I installed it myself and I use it for general home use. Honestly, I'm not seeing where the big issue is. It does it's job and that's all I ask it to do.
He needs to become his own lawyer and sue himself for all he's worth. That way he gets to keep the 30% that he has to pay himself - but of course will likely get taxed on that money as income paid by him to himself.
"Apple's share of the laptop market has grown over the past few years and the company is now beating Gateway in sales. So Apples market share is the trigger point for company buy outs....interesting
"I think that allowing it to be unlocked would be beneficial to Apple's sales, but perhaps may cause (possible legal) problems in their relationship with AT&T". I agree that it would be beneficial to Apples sales, but it does all depend on how well AT&T has locked Apple into 'defending' the exclusivity, I don't think Apple really cares who sells the phone for them. I have to imagine that AT&T predicted hacker efforts and has Apple legally bound to 'do all in it's power' to foil the hackers. The question is how much 'power' does Apple want to claim to have in this situation. If I was Apple, I'd be "damn those guys are really good, we tried a couple of things, but I just don't see how to foil them!' and start producing more phones.
"Personally, I think NASA could more easily improve their image by putting a few cameras on the shuttle" Sell the rights to VH1 or MTV for the next crappy reality show. We've already got the spaceman love triangle, that could be introduced in the middle of the season "reunion on the space station". Perhaps one male and 6 females, every week a lady gets eliminated and sent back to Earth. Sort of a Real-World/Flavor of Love/Batchelor thing. With the shit that teens watch now, I bet they'd be able to double their research budget.
Personally I don't believe that the business folks at microsoft really give a toss about the highend 5%. Put some numbers on it. Say for easy math that Adobes market is worth $100 million dollars. 5% is worth a pretty big $5 million, but Microsoft most likely cares about the $95 million. Adobe can probably keep their 5% high end users and MS wouldn't even blink.

'probably need to have a Masters degree in Psychology to do it' I know that I'm taking the parents humor out of context, but this is part of the problem. Now-a-days rather than sitting down and figuring things out with our kids we just turn them over to the text book trained couch mongers who go on to tell them that they're just expressing feelings etc. and it okay to be a pain in the arse. Parenting has become an issue of laziness.
I have just kid both my wife and I work 9+ hours a day each, we have a very healthy income that would probably just put us in the upper middleclass, but both of us also work very hard to make sure that our kid sees us, plays with us and learns social skills from us as much as possible. The sacrifice was having to change our life style; no more sports after work, the gym late at night when the kid goes to sleep, the weekend is not about recovering from the night before and our time with friends has suffered. Anyone who tells you that they don't miss the previous life is not being truthful, but to me at least, it is/was worth it. We get to help mold the boy, he went to a great daycare that he loved where he experienced how to socialize at an early age, which is very important as he is an only child, we realized our limits. Some folks obviously get up-the-duff by accident, but for those making the concious choice you need to figure out what you will give up. One of the suprizing positive aspects that came from my boy was how the petty work politics just became that, petty work politics. The mental and physical hard times of raising a, hopefully, well balanced kid really puts everything in perspective.
The theater staff were not being dickheads, they were just following the corporate policy of having zero tolerance. If they want to keep their job they need to follow corporate policy whether they may agree with it or not. Your ire probably shouldn't even be directed at the coporate policy, Regal have probably signed some agreement with the distributors to enforce this policy allowing them to show the movie, thus make money (they are afterall in the business of showing movies to the public). So you should probably call the distributors the dickheads for insisting that no one records their films. So should the distributors let 20 second clips be used, well IANAL, but if I record a movie could I not just claim it's a set of 20 second clips? I probably wouldn't be able to get away with that, but why should they even foot any legal bills arguing the case. Slap a contract clause that says no reproduction and the argument on the distributors side is very clear and without interpretation.
Try giving people a platform to reach millions that doesn't require them to be screened by a record company filter first for corporate music formula approval
This is basically noted in the article by "Windows overall total has remained flat, ranging between 90.01% and 90.46% through the first six months of the year." So all we're seeing here is the change from XP to Vista.
Our whole company has docking stations - we have nice +20" wide screen monitors (infact I have an 'active' one and then my email sits on my secondary 'passive' one, which also is used for doc management - see last sentence) The amount of patience saved by slapping my dell 820 into the docking station compared to wiring up the laptop is huge. Even with a 17" latop screen, I don't want to spend all day with low real estate on my monitor. As an added benefit we've found that larger screen space, aided by dual large monitors, actually saves us hard paper as people are more likely to review and work with electronic documents instead of printing a piece of paper and putting it on the desk next to them for reference.

Try http://www.kexp.org/. In my opinion good music coming out of Seattle (90.3 FM for the locals), but even if the music is not perfect for you it's fully DJ driven at a personal level.
All the carts in my local are already locked up, and they have no 'boot'. I was suprised to hear that a store in the world actually has functioning shopping carts, or at least ones without two wonky wheels out of four.
I could see a small multi-touch LCD side panel (simlar to the keypad) being a very useful navigation/shortcut tool. I find it interesting that we have this movement away from the tactile hot-key/shortcut-key response of the early 90's to 'mouse-is-more' only to see a suggestion to head back to the potentially more dynamic and faster shortcut-key. The difference being the iconic/symbolic tap approach verses the 'crtl+b' approach.

But surely if you pay the tax you should have unlimited acess to BBC content. So why should the BBC adopt DRM to limit access, it's public.
