Every hardcore gamer knows that, but there are a lot of people who just play games from time to time, or maybe they picked it up spontaneously, and/or are just plain ignorant to the consequences of DRM.
Obviously you can't put a tutorial on game cracking on the back of the box, maybe there should be [(a requirement/law)(bigger/more obvious)] warnings on them like the ESRB ratings. I think it has to be in the EULA, but thats after you have already bought it.

No it's not, that was my point... until the mainstream average PC user knows what it is, how its used, and what benefits it may or may not have, it wont get mainstream adoption.
MP3 is popular because it was shoved in everyones face, there's no www.ogg.com, there's no Rio Ogg Player.
if Apple decided to make an iOgg or something, everyone would be using OGG a year later. But if Google, Microsoft, Facebook, WikiMedia, etc all decided to use OGG exclusively for their system/notice/sample sounds, it wouldnt make a difference, it would be "everywhere", used by millions everyday, but no one would be bitching that their "MP3" player doesnt play OGG, because it plays MP3 just fine regardless of its shortcshortcomings.
I'm pretty sure that Mozilla is interested in mainstream adoption, "free for all" not just a few large scale media companies that use it for the odd sound.
FedEx uses a special envelope when sending millions of packages a day, almost everyone has seen or touched one at one point, but you don't see normal people using them for their daily mail because it just doesn't fill a need, what they are currently using works well enough.
I'm no expert, but wouldn't that be a redundant statistic? if it handles normal read/writes faster than a disk drive, then could you presume paging would be faster as well?
Although it would be interesting to see a RAM-less PC try and run on SSD's only... somehow using normal data read/write, and memory read/write on the same SSD (if thats possible). Guess that's what we'll end up with eventually anyways, where your amount of MEM is the amount of free-space you have on your SSD, no longer seperated components.
But whats your point? Maybe im not as wiki-adept as some other people, maybe there is some section somewhere that really throws OGG in your face, but as far as I am aware the only time you bump into it is when you go to play a sample of a song, or maybe the "pronunciation" option, which both play fine in Opera, Firefox and IE for me, thanx to VLC/QuickTime/etc plugin/codecs I already have installed.
Most people would just click it, if it works, fine, if it doesnt work they'll go "wtf is XiphQT? do I have a virus?" and then head off to youtube or something to find a sample.
However, IE8 only got 7, till it popped up with "this site wants to run mxl 3.0(or something)" and I clicked ok, but im ok with that, as I use Opera 99.99% of the time anyways...
So? I fail to see how that makes it any easier for them to restore the data, it would most likely increase it in magnitudes.
Furthermore, there are ways to get "true" random numbers out of a PC, obviously anything a PC is going to do is based on an algorithm, however if you apply that algorithm to say, white noise fed to it by your microphone, they would have to exactly duplicate that noise + the algorithm.
Granted this is a fairly small list, but it also depends on what OS the HD was running under aswell to get the random.
Nevermind something like a touchpad, or wifi signal strength, plus HD access, network usage, mouse movements, clock cycles, an image, etc can all be fed into the entropy.
Well naturally, it caused things like Firewall/Virus Scanner annoyances for people who were already safe and such, as well as excessive bandwidth and disk access for servers, etc...
But the theory works anyways, it just needs to either be sort of standardized/integrated into the current system, or just wait till many more systems are capable of handling it without having a noticeable impact.
Wasn't the first either, don't remember exactly, but I think the idea has been around since the mid/early 80's... I think the idea of the internet having its own immune system will eventually happen, and is far better than only small cells (computers) having their own little immune system, it could work sort of like Torrents, or the Kad network, where each PC can sort of 'call-out' to other PC's near by for help.
I'd have to agree, similar to Blaster I think it was, where someone/people developed a counter-blaster worm, that went around patching peoples systems using the same hole that Blaster used to fuck up peoples systems.
Seems sort of logical to me, sort of like how our immune system works, and once the "good guys" have won, they just naturally die out, and the system goes back to normal (usually).
What is so bad about drive letters really? Is C:\ really so different from hda1, sda1 or/volumes/? I haven't actually played around with it much, but I would almost assume that drives are accessible without directly accessing the corresponding letter within Vista/7 it's just not fully implimented yet...
I have no problem whatsoever with using backslashes, programmatically or manually... I prefer to think of \.\.\ as "into the computer" whereas/././ is "outside" the computer... but there really isnt a standard anyways http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)
If you have tested and/or seen any videos on Win7, they do have something close (but largely inferior) to Expose http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8AqXaNr8ag And with the whole thumbnail API and stuff it would be fairly easy for someone to make pseudo-port of Expose to Windows...
Vista is trash, at least in comparison to XP, or Win7, but so far I really like Win7, and if it remains and/or improves on it by RTM release, i'll switch immedietly to it.
Because it will have to carry payloads far greater than satellites, most satellites are about 1,000KG or less, when a suitable replacement for the Shuttle, needs to be able to deal with 10,000 to 25,000KG (22,700KG is what the Shuttle can carry).
As an example, Hubble, is 11,000+KG, how exacly would you plan on getting something like that up there with some ICBM's?... strap 10 of them together?
In my rather limited understanding of it, I don't think its possible, because the concept reallies fairly heavily on the rotation of the earth/planet to keep the counter weight 'out there' something that the moon doesn't have.
Plus, it just doesn't seem practical, as like you said no (or *extremely* thin) atmosphere, so no worries there, and far less gravitational pull, so its probably far more practical to stick with standard/typical rocket landing and launching.
However, 200 years from now, an elevator directly from earth to the moon, might be a possible, and might even be a good idea, keep that sucker from slowly drifting away from us...lol
No it's not, thats why I said "accorded to the internet masses" rather than just the masses... and for all I know (cause I didnt bother to look) every single Beatles page could have been made by the same person...
Personally I think Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Wagner, etc are, and will remain more prominent in history's eye... but my point was simply that it's not like they only created the music that they are best known for, every one perfect... they made hundreds, occasionally thousands, and generally less than a handful are really remembered, which is pretty much the same as the Beatles, 200+ songs, but everyone only has 4 or 5 favorites... 2 or 3 tend to show up more often... 1 or 2 ends up (possibly) becoming 'timeless'.

It's a conspiracy.
Fine...
Safari 3.2.1 (525.27.1) = 75
Chrome 1.0.154.43 = 79
Firefox 3.1 b2 = 93
Opera was already the latest.

'exploder (196936)'
'...does it have any greater power capacity?'
Just what do you have planned?... :P
Because it will have to carry payloads far greater than satellites, most satellites are about 1,000KG or less, when a suitable replacement for the Shuttle, needs to be able to deal with 10,000 to 25,000KG (22,700KG is what the Shuttle can carry).

I'm not sure if you are serious, at least about space projects, but isnt it called an ICBM for a reason? ie: that's all its capable of?
According to the wiki, it might be good at launching some sort of weather balloon *really* quickly, but thats about it for its effective altitude.

The Nazi's built the best, but fewer, military equipement during WWII, however, the US built TONS of junk... who won?
It's all just business, and im not necessarily saying its right.
