Hmm, I think we should all quit doing business with the USA. The Russian and Itallian Mafia vendors are more honorable.
At least they don't periodically fsck up the whole world economy the way the Yanks have a habit of doing.
I have worked in multiple places with one thing in common: Gawdawful ridiculously expensive video conference systems. We are a bunch of engineers and we cannot get the fscking things to work, so how would a bunch of doctors manage with it?
In contrast, the cheap/free Skype works without any issues.
The MS Windows 95 Trumpet Winsock was wiped out by piracy, when a magazine gave away a copy on a free CD. After that, Microsoft sealed their fate by copying the BSD stack.
Many businesses work with a customer file a few times and then never again - for example lawyers and realtors. I'd like to see a file system that will auto archive data and shift it transparently into long-term storage, and then transparently undo it when needed again.
Uhmmm, USAsians have this weird pizza view of the world: The world is flat and if you venture beyond the borders of continental USA, then you are going to fall off. The planet is a little larger than the USA and there is helium elsewhere. The USA has a somewhat unique stash of the stuff, but it certainly isn't the only supply on the planet.
Well, you got to follow the law! If a work is 'out of print' and no longer available from the original publisher, then you can request the minister of trade and industry for permission to copy the work. Go and read the copyright act. Ignorance of the law is no excuse and there is a defined mechanism for your case!
Skype alone, has more than 10 million users. That is small compared to world-wide voice users, but 10 million is not a number that can be dismissed. My wife uses Skype with voice and video and spends about an hour per day talking to family and friends.

Uhmm, would that work on human beings or only on walking and talking plants?
Hmm, I prefer Thunderbird over Evolution...
How? Ever heard of CDs or USB memory sticks? One is enough.

You do realize that the iPhone and all other things iApple are actually made in iChina?
Uhmmmm, my guess is that you are getting older and don't care about gaming so much anymore...
Hey buddy, what model Jeep you got?
IE is not the majority anymore, but yes, you still got a point.
This won't work, since it cannot be outsourced to India.
Those watches have been around since the disco days, for about 40 years or so.

I quit using my landline years ago and only use a cell phone - no more telemarketers. The wireless idea is also handy...
Long before, I quit using my fax machine, since I received primarily junk faxes.
Most cars already run on hydrogen. In liquid form it is much easier to handle than in the gaseous state and is called hydrocarbon.
Awww fuckoff... I coded on punch cards, you insensitive clod.

Ooops... I think you would get zero something percent for your math...

Zaphod Beeblebrox III, I presume. Pleased to meet you, my dear sir.
It makes me wonder whether the ministers concerned are large share holders of Hitachi and Seagate maybe?
All broadcasters have extensive filters in their studios. It is trivially easy for a sound engineer to notch out the horns.
Oh woe begot us. The end of the world is nigh.
The earth survived the previous 4 billion years just fine.
Sigh...
Except in Star Trek. They have both noise and friction in vacuum.
