Actually the article just says District of Columbia, there's no mention of Washington D.C. and I've been blasted by an American before for leaving D.C. off a list of states.
As far as the postal service is concerned it's a state.
Yeah I'm using Robers too except I'm paying for the extreme package (mostly for higher upload speeds) and my download speed has also been bumped except everytime I run a speed test I'm lucky to get 500k. I'm a few days away from calling and cancelling if they can't even deliver 1Mb when I'm paying for 8.
There are certain business's that have a policy against installing certain OSS because they develop competitive products to it and having them installed would result in legal problems.
I know this is a fact for IBM employees (I'm not one but know many).
I'm sure there are acceptable products to have so this is useful if it lists the programs that are found as an easy way to inventory and compare against the list of unacceptable programs.
Yes RIM is Canadian but that doesn't mean that their entire network is physically located in Canada.
RIM is located in Waterloo, Ontario (because the people who started it went to Waterloo University)
Actually if you look into it a lot of Canadian ISP's route through the US at some point.
The one program I always download from SF is filezilla (client) and recently I set up the server version to replace the broken default IIS FTP server.
Both client and server are working great, highly recommended free open source FTP client and server.
Q. How do I disable IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008?
A. Unlike Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 cannot be uninstalled. However, you can disable IPv6 in Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 by doing one of the following:
- In the Network Connections folder, obtain properties on all of your connections and adapters and clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under This connection uses the following items.
This method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface.
- Add the following registry value (DWORD type) set to 0xFF:
This method disables IPv6 on all your LAN interfaces, connections, and tunnel interfaces but does not disable the IPv6 loopback interface. You must restart the computer for this registry value to take effect.
For additional information about the DisabledComponents registry value, see Configuring IPv6 with Windows Vista.
If you disable IPv6, you will not be able to use Windows Meeting Space or any application that relies on the Windows Peer-to-Peer Networking platform or the Teredo transition technology.
I've enabled IPv6 on my XP boxes without any problems at all, it actually resulted in faster loading times.
If Vista is anything like XP it's actually quite easy, just go to your network connections open the properties for the LAN connection and install the IPv6 (Microsoft TCP/IP version 6) Protocol.
Removing it is even easier, from the properties of the LAN connection just select it and click Uninstall.
Your best bet to get a good education with the highest chance of getting into the game industry when you graduate is to go to Digipen
As far as I know they're the only school that will teach you relevant information to the game industry and give you a degree at the same time.
I wanted to go there when I was graduating from high school but being a Canadian couldn't get accepted because they weren't an accredited school yet, now they are except you'll have to be an exceptional student to get accepted.
I personally use the free version at home on 4 computers and have purchased the professional AVG for my Windows server *ducks* and I have no complaints about either. I've actually had AVG catch some old zip files and rars that had a virus in them that Norton missed since I switched.
You don't need a server to do rolling back ups of your files nightly.
I use synctoy, it's a power toy from MS Sync Toy you could easilly install that on your windows box and set it up to run nightly to back up any new/changed files.
I use it to keep my main desktop box in sync with my laptop quickly as well as keep a back up on an external hard drive.
There was actually an interesting article in MSDN on how to use the pre-release version for Concurrent programming.
I'll guess that since the general consensus is MS is evil nobody has read this yet:

I personally haven't actually downloaded and used the code but it sounded promising in the article.

Thanks, I've been meaning to check the connections in the house because my gf mentioned even the cable signal is "noisy" so you're probably right.

You missed Moonlight The open source version of MS Silverlight.
Did you miss the story posted here about Mono Coders Hack Linux Silverlight in 21 Days???

Minor grammar error I think you meant "dual" not "duel".
Duel
Dual
Unless you actually meant that the lincense was fighting against another license.
