And what's wrong with no UAC at all? I turned it off via the registry as soon as I figured out how, and I haven't had a single security issue. No firewall or (constantly running) AV, either. Just my brain, telling me what not to click on. I run AV checks every so often, just to be on the safe side, but other than that, I have a perfectly secure PC without som much as a safety net.
Us users that actually know what we're doing have no use for the UAC. It's for the Myspacers and Kazaa'ers that download everything under the sun, then wonder why it takes their computer 10 minutes to boot.
When you pass a bill lowering my tuition from $30,000 a year, and room and board from $9,000, I will stop downloading the same amount in copyrighted material. Until then, I'll ask you to please cram it up your ass.

he BBS communities, USENET, the MUSH/MOO communities, the MMORPGs, and the blogospheres, have all rehashed all this.
Don't forget about the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads...
I didn't RTFA, but how is this anything different from everything else they're trying to do to fight copying? When they come up with a new strategy, let me know. I'll be in my room pirating every movie ever made.

Like what, convincing the cows they're going to live to see another year, so they die in peace when we violently slaughter them for our tasty hamburgers?
Go hug a tree, hippy. I like my cows like I like my coffee. Ground up and in the freezer.
"Squad based mission oriented"?
Maybe when it first came out. Jump into any pub server today and try to find anyone not running around looking for someone to shoot.
I'm still trying to figure out how the most generic FPS ever has such a huge following. Are we, as gamers, that starved for entertainment that we're playing games with the simplest premise ever?
You're kidding, right? I can't even run X-Fire without the UAC asking me if I want to run X-Fire.
The UAC is useless. I've never had a single problem (spy/mal-ware, virii, etc) on this computer that's running Vista, without so much as an AV prog or firewall.
You know how I do it? I DON'T CLICK EVERY FUCKING LINK THAT I SEE! Also, I don't visit rampant dens of e-debauchery like MySpace.
Luckily for you, IQ levels don't go any lower than zero. Otherwise you might actually be the stupidest person in the world, instead of just as stupid as everyone on myspace.

So is it TJX or TXJ?
How much do you want to bet that those 150k will be replaced with half-priced Indian labor within 5 years?
Outsourcing needs to die a slow painful death. In a fire.

And they don't look as good. And they won't do anything that even remotely makes real money. And they won't right click.
It took me less time to get the water chip. Come on, Bethesda!

Anything done in Second Life or Habbo or anything else like that is not a crime, unless they threaten your PHYSICAL self. That said, POOL IS CLOSED!
AACS: Our C&Ds will block out the sun.
/.ers: Then we'll blog in the shade.

What is that, like $.20 for every spam email sent from a yahoo account?
Sorry to hear that. I feel your pain. Actually, no I don't. AMD + Vista = :D
No, it's the bridge between your house and funny. I hear it's still out, though.
The same thing they drink now. Zima and Red Bull.
Ugly girl, Myspace girl, faggoty retro guys, and pile of puke. Yup, typical Mac users.

And find an 8800 Ultra. E-pen0r +1.
I meant that I don't have a constantly running AV. I do periodic checks (once a week usually), then shut the program down when the check is done.

Sinner.
Except for the thousands of us that refuse to buy that over-priced piece of Apple trash.
People don't want to "pay for" music.
