Transfer a full-length Blu-ray movie in less than 30 seconds?
From what to what?
Really? The article positions this as a consumer technology. What is there in the consumer space that can either supply or store bits fast enough to keep up with this? Even enterprise-class storage would sweat to keep up with this.
Laboratory conditions used to create the marketing specs don't count.
As far as Windows goes, it'd be nice if third parties could register with Windows update. You install app X, it now gets to be polled on Windows update at whatever schedule you use. Update available, there you go. It'd be like what the Linux distros do with their lovely updaters.
If I was a Microsoft exec I would be flat-out embarrased at the state of package management in the Windows world.
Since Microsoft is not going to make things easier for their competitors, nor apparently for their partners, this is the perfect opportunity for the community to show them how to do it right. The Google Updater should immediately be forked and modified as follows:
- Never report to any third party
- Look to a local server for the update source
- Accept 3rd-party packages for anything the patch admin wants to allow: Adobe Reader, Firefox, Flash, Java, QuickTime, and on and on.
Then we only need 2 updaters running at any time: one for MS wares, one for anything else.
You are what you do, not what you think about. Please chill out with the prejudice.
But what you -do- is a direct reflection of what you -think- about. There's nothing you do that you don't think about first.
If I knew that some guy my age was was obsessed with my preteen sons or daughter you can bet I would act with extreme prejudice if he ever came around my house.
The ones that I use a lot change too - want to change networking... there's 3 dialogs now: Network and Sharing Centre, Network and Device Manager (there doesn't seem to be an easy way to alter settings, start in one, wait for it to 'discover' networks near me (sigh) and then I get to change things). Run ncpa.cpl to instantly access the list of network connections like in XP.
A "right" is something that a government has decided you may do. Uh, no. "Rights" are bestowed by God. They exist because people exist, independent of governments. Governments should safeguard these rights, but too often they wave their magic BS sticks in the air and make laws that infringe on our rights.
I accept that my kids are my 'problem' (responsibility). The society that they live in is also my responsibility. You have just beautifully demonstrated how screwed up society is today.

Wow.
Where's the '-1 Off Topic'?
Seriously.
Do the teleprompters run Linux?

Optical Writeable Readable Hard drives that are Giga-giga-bakillion-kazakcipaloo-bytes and are random access/seeking - they're coming.
Yes, but there will still be only 10 kinds of people in the world, us and the marketing drones.
It's GPL. Guess it's time to fork.
Something I learned early:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"
Apply to each user account and to the Default User profile to prevent apps from getting stuck on shutdown.
This gets applied to every machine I support.

How the heck are they going to get The Incomparable Dejah Thoris into a kids' movie?

Annoy-a-trons blend, you know.
Community service should remain that, a choice.
Charitable contributions should also be a matter of personal choice. Obama's tax policies will take this choice away from us.
Can this be applied to Word 2007 to fix HTML email rendering in Outlook 2007?

As a piece of art the anime can definitely stand alone.

I don't run Veesta but I have to support it.
Whether or not you believe in God, people existed before governments. Did those people not have rights?
