 [Bostonist.com] Bostonist: As the Boston Globe points out, Microsoft seems to have skirted the threat of exclusion with a pledge "to standardize the format for an upcoming version of Office by submitting it to a technical standards body." The Governor's office said that the state would be less likely to pursue the open-source document format standard if Microsoft makes good on their pledge. Though Microsoft says that their $30 Million grant to state institutions of higher learning was made independent of the threat of removal the extra cash to support the software needs of students certainly couldn't hurt in swaying legislators in a certain direction.

Medical dramas just don't do much for me, which is why I've never watched "ER" and haven't watched "House" despite some strong recommendations.

It appeared as if the music industry wanted to stop a university professor from teaching security and mathematics to students and from that experience being able to go on and develop higher mathematical algorithm's for use in society.The RIAA have been suing groups of individuals for music piracy breaches as it is cost effective for them to pick a peer-to-peer file sharing group of users and sue them all in a single hit, if you change that to make the RIAA only be able to sue each individual person for the offence that each person committed then that would account for 1 in 50 of every lawsuit that was filed in the entire United States in 2005.
