And best of all you don't have to pay a monthly fee as you do with Tivo. (As of yet, it's probably only a matter of time before M$ starts charging!)
I sure hope they don't start charging, considering Media Center is why I bought Vista. The other boon there is that it seamlessly integrates with my Zune, automatically re-encoding and syncing anything recorded in the last week (which is, of course, more configurable). I don't have any HD, but I also don't have any DRM-crippled.wmvs.
I bought a used Cisco DSL router off eBay. Once I set it up, it only reboots when there's a power failure (once every few months or so). The WRT54G was no end of headaches, until its only job was to bridge the wired network and the wireless netowrk, which is the one function that never seemed to stop working on it. It doesn't do NAT, it doesn't do DHCP, it doesn't route, it doesn't do anything but wireless encryption. I haven't logged into it for maybe two years, though it's probably time to change the network password.
If you're in a business where you print documents for a meeting or which will be obsolete in a day or two, this may be of even more benefit than it remaining visible. Undocumented feature?
And here I thought they put in this "trick" so that people who want to reinstall don't have to go find their old media, install the old OS, THEN reinstall Vista.
Needs something. My co-worker and I used to go out to lunch all the time, have great conversations, generally enjoy our break from the office. Then he got an iPhone. Now he looks down and pokes a lot. I just kind of sigh and think back to how it was in the Good Ole Days.
Also note that if you send large amounts of data, you can send 3 ounces of first-class mail for $.75 (which makes a big drop in TCP/USPS costs). Which would mean you get ~42kb for $.75, which would add up to around $187,246 per 10 GB (the rate used in the article).
Given that all the controllers are bluetooth, couldn't one just develop the games for the computer and use the Wii-mote that way? Reduces the need for on-system homebrew, especially with the fairly easy ability to hook computers up to TVs. Actually, you don't even need a Wii, just a Wii-mote.
"There are plenty of people saying that this "scandal" somehow affects every article on Wikipedia, even the ones on the boiling point of water, and that is mostly because they have an agenda to take it all down."
That's because when the credibility of the medium is compromised, its entire contents take a hit. Were all articles ACTUALLY afflicted with scandal and bias? No. Of course not. But, will that happening on some articles affect the perception of readers?
Syntax is actually exactly the same in Windows, except it's "copy" and "del" instead of "cp" and "rm". I really do need to stop trying to use "rm" in Windows, though.
Five of us actually showed up. We've actually received our t-shirts now (and we're working to schedule another get-together for the near-future for everyone to actually collect said shirts). Sadly, our reality wasn't nearly as nerdy: no signs, no "special t-shirts," not even a laptop-based OS-Showdown. The nerdiest thing at the table was either my camera or shinyhat's iPhone.
How about the part where I've done nothing (even to "configure my system not to use the program") and it hasn't autoinstalled. Despite a terribly-unmanaged WSUS server.

I thought the "Mega-Dollar" was resort money, like Itchy & Scratchy Dollar.

They say this isn't coming or planned.

...all of a sudden Yahoo messenger is 100% compatible with MSN messenger.
It's already partially compatible. Text-based messaging works, but not much else does. But, yeah, full compatibility between the two would be nice.Needs something.

In need of warning: "iPhone: Your friends will wonder why you don't talk anymore."

Microsoft announced in November that Silverlight 1.1 will be Silverlight 2.0.

Because, you know, you can write a browser which can pass Acid2 in a few days (especially given how bad it was to start with).
