You could also use ffdshow-tryout, which has DXVA support for AVC/H.264, allowing you to watch gpu-accelerated videos in any media player that supports directshow (such as Windows Media Player).
At my last place we assigned names to workstations of the form "WS-[badge number]". This had the advantage that the computer has to be put on the asset management system before it can be attached to the network, and for the vast majority of the time, this was the case. Our asset management system was intelligent enough that it could automatically update the location when the computer moved since every switch port was mapped to a location in the database (by room, floor, building, site).
Whenever possible I use ThinApp to turn regular apps into portable ones. All files and registry entries are stored inside the application folder so there is no need to worry about backing up the registry and makes it much easier to go from one host to another (or reinstalling the os).
What would be more useful to enterprises who want to distribute Firefox is an MSI package and a group policy template - like the version distributed by FrontMotion (Firefox Community Edition).
The closest thing Microsoft Windows has to a package manager is software deployment through group policy, which is only available in an active directory domain. It provides for a central place to both push out software to groups of computers and users, and allows users to install packages for which they have been assigned privileges. The latter I have not seen implemented by any Linux distribution yet. It is a case of having the privilege to install any software, or none at all. In comparison, Linux distributions provide a multitude of different software which are often well-maintained. If you want to go outside what is provided by the repositories available for your distribution though, it is not quite so easy. If you are lucky, the software vendor has provided a binary package that is compatible with your distribution (taking into account the package manager, architecture, sound system, desktop environment, libraries, etc...).
It sounded like the OP was asking a rhetorical question. The point is if the customers are communicating with hosts through peers with which they do not have SFI, then the ISP's costs are higher since they have to pay for transit.
This story amuses me because I live in Aalborg, and we have district heating, but this morning there is a break in the system so our entire complex is without hot water. Luckily it is coming up to summer so heating is not necessary.
Perhaps it is different with Server 2008 but with 2003 you cannot simply swap the license key for an OEM server key to a volume licensing key. You have to do an "upgrade" with the corp media. This is a problem when you want to migrate a physical server to a virtual one running on a different host, since OEM-licensed Microsoft server OSs are only allowed to run on the metal the license was purchased with. Silly!
I once made a complaint to the ASA (Advertising Standards Association) but it was not upheld because apparently the average consumer would not draw that conclusion.
I guess the OP is referring to [10GE|G]PON, in which multiple subscribers (usually up to 32) share a single TX wavelength using TDM and RX using encryption. PON has also been deployed in combination with DSL in places (such as apartment complexes) where there is copper but it is too expensive to pull new cables.
PTP (point-to-point) gives each subscriber a dedicated RX and TX wavelength, but in reality they are still sharing the upstream connection with multiple subscribers, so there is not a whole lot of difference in practice to the end-user.
I find this interesting because I reinstalled my XP workstation only last week after several years and took the opportunity to start running in least privilege mode. It is quite apparent how much software there is that still does not function well using a non-admin account. A lot of my software I have converted to portable versions using thinapp which should prevent registry bloat, and allow me to take them with me on another device and keep all my settings.
Commonly used servers get an alias, grouped by type, such as directory servers (big cats), email servers (astronomical), database servers (unusual mammals), etc.
Who said anything about hacking? It's entirely feasible that they would change the script they serve up themselves. It would allow Google to track all visitors to the site who have javascript enabled, a possible privacy violation.
It is not for "Linux users", it is for "Linux Firefox users". As yet there is no standard npapi-compatible Moonlight plugin. I enquired about this yesterday and was informed that once Moonlight 2 is out the door, cross-browser compatibility will be improved.
It would be useful if the Linux Standards Base provided a spec with a standard path for browser plugins.
It is lesser-known that the OpenID 2 specification includes support for i-names that are a form of the OASIS-standard XRI. An example of an i-name is "=chris.hills". The advantage over OpenID is that whilst the name is re-usable, the number associated with the name is not. If I decide that I no longer want my i-name and somebody else registers it, they will not be able to log into my accounts (assuming i didn't bother un-associating it).

Nor are the resolvers capable of resolving names in zones served only by IPv6-connected dns servers (for example: mirror.ipv6.chaz6.com.). http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq.html#ipv6

I have made a list of all the (free!) services I use with my domain at http://pages.chaz6.com/. My home page, http://www.chaz6.com/, is a small collection of "things".

I do not think much of a UTM test that does not include any products from TippingPoint, the current market leader.

Still no support for IPv6 it seems. Has it even been given consideration?

I wonder what planet they are living on - maybe the same one as Sol Trujillo of former Telstra infamy.

Actually, editor fail. The article is referring to Qt - not QT.
I once had to replace a bunch of laserjet mainboards because HP sent out a bad firmware update, and it was the only supported way to remedy it.

It is not exciting but it gets the job done.

Matroska also has the benefit of not being based on a horrible hack. It was designed from the ground up.

i-names allows for a proper service resolution. One example of a service endpoint is an OpenID url.

It depends on where you live. When you can get 100mb/s to your home, 6mb/s seems pretty slow.
