XP and 2000 can be made to use NTLMv2 but you have to either use Group Policy or set it in Local Security Policy. I don't know/why/ Microsoft didn't make it default to at least use v2 if both ends agreed, but they wouldn't have forced it on because of back compatibility with NT4 domains.
We've got a bifurcated VLAN setup as well. However, the DHCP server authenticates against a list of known MAC addresses, so if you're not on the list you don't get an IP address. That's rather more secure than IT getting a "hey, someone's plugging an unknown device in, come take care of it!" alert.
I doubt you'd want to use the 3D accel function of a TNT2 or GF256 card for any modern software. It'd bog like crazy unless you only had it do simple tasks, and Compiz wouldn't qualify as simple.
Chrome OS does update in the background, occasionally needing to reboot for updates.
Between the $199 Chromebook and the $249 one, I'd spend the extra dosh. You'll get much better battery life and you don't need the bigger but slower storage the cheaper one offers. I'm not sure if Netflix has ported their player to Chrome OS on ARM yet, though.
I don't like the ergonomics of either of the two Transformer models I've played with at work. For one thing, with the dock installed it's quite top-heavy and will fall over a lot more easily than a laptop would. The touchpad is pretty crappy too and its palm detection is absolute pants.
Between the two, for light use as a web terminal I'd choose the Chromebook, but if you want/need to run certain apps or want something more flexible (modulo those ergo problems) you'll want Android.
Bah. Republicans only want to cut spending on programs that help people who aren't stinking rich.
Besides, I think almost everyone in Washington is terrified that if they dismantle this monster and any terrorist attack anywhere in the States succeeds, they'll be blamed. The whole situation is reminiscent of the FBI under Hoover, and I suspect the very best we can hope for is more oversight of TSA and Fatherland Security.
Thing is, Apple firmware is based on UEFI 1.x, while on the PC side everything that's not BIOS is UEFI 2.0, which is different enough to cause problems. On top of that a lot of older Apple firmware is 32-bit and can't directly boot a 64-bit Windows even though the processor could handle it.
I suspect we could make synthetic gasoline now, but it would be rather more expensive than the stuff that's pumped up from underground, so there's no reason to do it right now without significant government subsidies or a rethink of how fuel taxes are structured.
After Bush's policies crashed the economy, yes, gas got down to around $1.60 a gallon here. This is after a high of around $3.30 a few months before that.
It's the folks who ignorantly repeat talking points like that which make me think a lot less of American conservatives.
There's no point even voting on it, since it won't pass. That's called a "waste of time", much like the House voting to pass it thirty-odd times when they knew every time that it wouldn't pass the Senate or the White House. It's a joke, and it's on us.
I'd bet a considerable sum that any freighters (suspiciously modified or otherwise) stopping in North Korea are monitored, and they don't have any SLBM submarines. The closest thing their navy's got are some ancient (designed in the late '40s) ex-USSR Whiskey-class submarines that might be able to handle cruise missiles, which are very different beasts from that bastardized Scud the DPRK launched.
Except that the only part of the US they can reach with current missiles is a portion of Alaska. The only two other likely targets are South Korea and Japan, all of which are entirely within range.

Never happen. There are too many line-of-business programs that use Trident, and are written in such a way to require bug-for-bug compatibility.
Dear god, I hope you're exaggerating.

Hans, Poland, ja?

hell, it probably won't happen in my lifetime bar a major change in our political zeitgeist that will put "American Exceptionalism" to bed for good.

tl,dr: it's better to visualize each measurement than to convert into familiar units.
I never said the Dems care about the little people. In fact, if you'll carefully read my post you won't see a single thing about the Democrats.
It's kind of pathetic that you have to answer criticism of Your Team by blowing smoke and complaining about the Other Team instead.

I've used my Cr-48 nearly every day for the past two years. It's a great little second computer.
Only you libertardians want it back that way. I want to have functioning infrastructure, etc. without waving a non-working FreeMarket magic wand.

Because the Ryan budget is a joke. It's a thumb in the eye that won't even solve the budget shortfalls.
No, the enemy is the Republican majority in the House and their filibuster-abusing minority in the Senate.
The Dems have their problems (and they are legion) but they're nothing like the GOP.

Your trolls are an enormous waste of time, but I still laughed because of your devotion to duty.

No. I'm not wild about the three-bar option button, but the rest is OK.
