    It mentioned even in the summary that 'When they gave him this laptop, it had belonged to another user, and they changed the user name for him....'

    And you don't need an image for every single laptop, most large shops create a generic corporate image that you push down on anything. Mainly because it is ridiculous to maintain an image for each separate hardware platform.

    Any IT department in a company the size that controls the security updates as mentioned, should be able to reimage in ~20 minutes on the outside, including adding on specific software packages not in the base image.

    There is a difference though. The various versions of linux are all going to be roughly compatible. As in you can compile code for anything as long as you have the source and build utilities.

    This would be more similar to introducing a new OS, completely incompatible to linux than introducing a new distro.

    There are 3 cvars that can be used to solve this. mp_forcechasecam mp_forcecamera and mp_fadetoblack. The forcecamera you force it to spectate only your own team, and forcechasecam for forcing a first person spectate.

    Obligatory car analogy

    I'm not following you. Which one "is" Ford? The one developed from original Model-T company (I count Escorts and Tauruses as "is" Ford), or the one (GM/Honda/Toyota/et al) that was re-implemented using similar paradigms? I think each one "is" Ford, and if you insisted on comparing them, Escorts would be slightly more Ford than Honda (because it actually runs a Ford engine underneath) but only slightly.

  16. Re:Makes sense on Nintendo May Pull Wii Ads To Avoid Hype · · Score: 1

    In an economics class I took the coke/pepsi and McDonalds/Burger King examples were talked about.

    Basically what it amounted to was people already know what they like be it coke or pepsi. As such it doesn't matter which the adds are for, if someone sees an add for pepsi, but prefers coke they'll think (supposedly) "Hey, I should get more coke."

    This is also similar to the fact you can go somewhere and order a coke, and get a pepsi or vice versa.
