Gates Ushers in Third Decade of Windows Innovation with x64 Editions, “Longhorn” Technical Preview
April 25, 2005
SEATTLE, April 25, 2005 — With the third decade of Microsoft® Windows® fast approaching, Microsoft Corp. Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates today predicted that 64-bit computing, together with the newest versions of the company’s premier operating system, will ignite the most promising era yet of industrywide innovation.

During his keynote speech at the Microsoft Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2005, Gates announced the general availability of Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server (TM) 2003 x64 Editions, and offered a glimpse at the opportunities created for software and hardware developers by these faster, more-secure and more-powerful operating systems. Gates also demonstrated how the next version of the Windows operating system, code-named “Longhorn,” will put even more of the power of 64-bit computing to work for people.
“The next decade will bring about a new wave of innovation in the technology industry through the increased security, greater reliability and faster performance enabled by 64-bit computing and continued advances in Windows,” Gates said. “‘Longhorn’ and the new x64-bit versions of Windows are the best foundation for a new generation of faster, more powerful hardware and software that expands the possibilities for computing and transforms the way we work and play.”

Microsoft releases XP as new judge gets antitrust case
By John Hendren
Seattle Times Washington bureau
WASHINGTON — Microsoft yesterday handed its latest operating system to computer makers as its antitrust case — and the company's fate — was handed to a new judge.
A federal appeals court sent the landmark antitrust case back to the district court where it began, while Microsoft executives 3,000 miles away in Redmond were preparing for a ceremony in which they would give Windows XP to executives of Compaq, Dell and other computer manufacturers.

"Retreat, hell! We just got here."
DEC 11, 2014
America entered World War I to reinforce the battered French and British troops waging a desperate fight against Germany. On June 2, 1918, a division of Marines was sent to support the French army at Belleau Wood. As the Marines arrived, they found French troops retreating through their lines. A French colonel, attempting to acquaint the Americans with the realities of the situation and not trusting his spoken English, scribbled a note to the officer in charge of the Americans ordering them to retreat. The Marine officer looked at the Frenchman coldly and said, Retreat, Hell! We just got here. That officer was Capt. Lloyd W. Williams, commanding the 51st Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment.

Subject: Microsoft might take a new look at lethal injection
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/261975_lethal07.html
A decade ago, when Microsoft executives made lethal injection the primary way to execute pesky competition, it was considered less barbaric than hanging and less likely to bring long, costly trips to the woods.
Bill Gates has called lethal injection "undoubtedly innovative" and said that ruling otherwise would be "tantamount to forbidding the death penalty altogether for our competitors."
But now, as death row competitors in other states claim it's cruel punishment because it may not bring a peaceful death as once believed, some managers say Bill Gates will likely have to look for another more painful method.
"It's pretty clear that this method of execution has the potential to cause a great deal of pain -- and maybe even more pain than some of the methods we're using now and we like that."

Yesterday, I started thinking that maybe no one is going to just give me the explanation I have been waiting on. Instead, what I think is going to happen is someone is going to hand me a set of keys and say "Here you go. One shiny, pre-owned Microsoft. Have fun." I just wonder if Bill Gates is a smoker and if so, whether I will be able to get that smoky smell out of it before I take it for a drive.

Battle of Belleau Wood
From Wikipedia
The Battle of Belleau Wood (1 26 June 1918) occurred during the German spring offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France. The battle was fought between the U.S. 2nd (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and 3rd Divisions along with French and British forces against an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions. The battle has become a key component in the lore of the United States Marine Corps.
Fighting in Belleau Wood
The battle was now deadlocked. At midnight on 7 8 June, a German attack was stopped cold and an American counter-attack in the morning of 8 June was similarly defeated. Sibley's battalion having sustained nearly 400 casualties was relieved by the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. Major Shearer took over the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines for the wounded Berry. On 9 June, an enormous American and French barrage devastated Belleau Wood, turning the formerly attractive hunting preserve into a jungle of shattered trees. The Germans counter-fired into Lucy and Bouresches and reorganized their defenses inside Belleau Wood.
In the morning of 10 June, Major Hughes' 1st Battalion, 6th Marines together with elements of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion attacked north into the wood. Although this attack initially seemed to be succeeding, it was also stopped by machine gun fire. The commander of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion Major Cole was mortally wounded. Captain Harlan Major senior captain present with the battalion took command. The Germans used great quantities of mustard gas. Next, Wise's 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines was ordered to attack the woods from the west, while Hughes continued his advance from the south.
At 04:00 on 11 June, Wise's men advanced through a thick morning mist towards Belleau Wood, supported by the 23rd and 77th companies of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, and elements of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Engineers and were cut to pieces by heavy fire. Platoons were isolated and destroyed by interlocked machine gun fire. It was discovered that the battalion had advanced in the wrong direction. Rather than moving northeast, they had moved directly across the wood's narrow waist. However, they smashed the German southern defensive lines. A German private, whose company had 30 men left out of 120, wrote "We have Americans opposite us who are terribly reckless fellows."
Overall, the woods were attacked by the Marines a total of six times before they could successfully expel the Germans. They fought off parts of five divisions of Germans, often reduced to using only their bayonets or fists in hand-to-hand combat.
On 26 June, the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, under command of Major Maurice E. Shearer, supported by two companies of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion and the 15th Company of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, made an attack on Belleau Wood, which finally cleared that forest of Germans. On that day, Major Shearer submitted a report simply stating, "Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely", ending one of the bloodiest and most ferocious battles U.S. forces would fight in the war.

Quayle, Gore Set Themes For Last Weeks -- Stockdale Never Answers Own Query: `Why Am I Here?'
Times News Services
It may be remembered more for its furious, even nasty partisanship than for any impact it might have on the outcome of 1992 presidential election.
But yesterday's clash of the running mates did reveal that the campaigns have decided on lines of attack for the next three weeks: President Bush against Bill Clinton's character and tax policies; Clinton against Bush's economic record; and Ross Perot against Washington politicians and their deficit.
In yesterday's debate, Vice President Dan Quayle and Sen. Al Gore Jr. of Tennessee did a better job articulating their campaigns' basic messages than President Bush and Arkansas Gov. Clinton did in Sunday's low-energy affair.
In the crossfire, retired Vice Adm. James Stockdale often seemed lost - a civilian who had wandered into a private war.

v.
PARAMOUNT PICTURES CORP., Defendant.
No. Civ.A.99-1766-A.
United States District Court, E.D. Virginia, Alexandria Division.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
ELLIS, District Judge.
In this trademark infringement action brought pursuant to section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125, plaintiffs, the heirs of an author and owners of that author's work, claim that defendant's motion picture bears a title which is confusingly similar to the title of a short story published over half a century ago by the author. The summary judgment motion at bar presents, inter alia, the question whether plaintiffs may claim trademark protection in the title of a single expressive work, when the title is also the name of a science fiction genre.
I
Plaintiffs are the heirs of William F. Jenkins, a science fiction author who published works of fiction under the pseudonym, "Murray Leinster." Among Jenkins' work is the novellette "First Contact," the title of which is the subject of this litigation. Defendant Paramount Pictures Corporation produces, advertises and distributes television programs, movies, and related products.
In 1945, Jenkins, using his pseudonym, published "First Contact" in the magazine Astounding Science-Fiction. "First Contact," put simply, is a tale of mankind's first encounter with extraterrestrial life. Although many stories, books, and movies examine alien encounters with earthlings, Jenkins' short story is widely regarded as the prime example of this plot.2 In that regard, Jenkins' story has been reprinted in numerous anthologies since its initial publication in 1945, and in 1996, twenty-one years after Jenkins' death, the story was honored with a 1946 Retro-Hugo Award.3 In addition, perhaps as a result of Jenkins' story, a vast line of literature, movies, and nonfiction reports of alien encounters are described as "first contact" stories.
Defendant owns all of the so-called Star Trek properties. The Star Trek franchise includes nine motion pictures, four television series, and a large and extremely lucrative licensing and merchandising program. Defendant owns at least fifty registered trademarks related to Star Trek, which marks are licensed for use on a wide variety of merchandise, including books,
[ 90 F.Supp.2d 708 ]
toys, bookmarks, games, greeting cards, watches, clocks, software, and other goods. In total, defendant and its licensees have sold over $1 billion of Star Trek-related merchandise. Further evidence of Star Trek's ubiquity is found in a vast and mysterious Star Trek subculture, comprised of people who call themselves Trekkies or Trekkers. In short, through defendant's aggressive merchandising and the enduring popularity of the Star Trek television shows, movies, and books, STAR TREK has become one of the most famous trademarks in the world.
