With Border own site, it will be easier for customers to order books and pick them up at a Borders store (and save shipping).
Yep, this is actually why I always use Borders' online site when looking for music or a book. I live in Washington so I don't actually order much from Amazon anymore due to the tax + shipping. Instead, I can just reserve something from Borders online and go pick it up 5 minutes from my house and avoid the shipping. It's nice.
I had trouble with the shield block for a while, but I found that if I just slow down the thrust and keep it a single, smooth motion it works perfectly.
I find that, honestly, the Windows version of iTunes is a buggy piece of crap. How long have betas of Vista been available? Did they really have to wait until after Vista has been released to post something about it? Look at a lot of other software (Nero, nVidia drivers, etc). They had Vista versions of their software ready-to-go before it even hit the shelves.
It's innocent until proven guilty, not guilty until proven innocent...
Except the minor detail that the OP said "Will ISPs still be able to throttle BitTorrent traffic now that a significant proportion of it is legit?"
To me, the poster is implicitly admitting that previously it was not the case that a significant proportion of it is legit. To now assert that it is means you should back it up.
A better statement, imo, would have been "Will ISPs still be able to throttle BitTorrent traffic considering a (potentially significant) proportion of it is legit?" The part in parenthesis is optional.
The header should be 'Download-Only Song to Crack the Top 40'. When I first read it, I thought it was a request to download the only song ever to get into the Top 40. Which doesn't make sense for several reasons.:)
Microsoft already plans on companies not being fully upgraded for another 5 years. It was the same with Win2k and WinXP. A few years from now, they'll have new machines and the issue is moot. This is not news.
I actually really enjoyed the twists and turns in the Tales of Symphonia storyline and the concept that you could almost sympathize with the final bad guy, but you still gotta kick his ass. I agree that the battles were too repetitive. Lots of choices, but once you pick a good combination, you never have to tweak it. You just do it over and over again. I beat the last guy on the first try. I don't like that. I want to at least die a few times in a game to challenge me and force me to change my techniques as it progresses.
I think there are softare issues to think about as well. Sure, they could have thrown all those features in, but likely it wouldn't have been out for the holiday season.
It's like denouncing the engineering talent that went into a F1 car, for not having enough cargo capacity to fit your vacationing gear.
No it's not. I never said it was the point of that car, but if you're going to have any sort of motor vehicle, you don't want it to be likely that you'll die in a collision. This includes F1 vehicles as well.
While I think efforts like this are great, it's likely a fairly flimsy vehicle due to its super lightweight construction. Getting in a wreck with another vehicle at almost any relevant speed would probably cause great harm, especially if the occupant is lying down in a forward-facing stomach-down orientation (which is unclear from the article).
He's going to stay chairman. This is a transition of his Chief Software Architect role. From the first line in the article:
Working full time at Microsoft through June 2008, Gates then will continue as chairman and advisor while increasing Foundation efforts; Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie to assume expanded roles.
So then why don't you buy the game? I don't see why we have to let kids buy games like Grand Theft Auto. If the parents know their kids can handle it, then let them buy it and give it to their kid. I don't see the big deal here. If you want to see/rent an R movie and you're too young, you have to have a consenting adult with you. What's the diff?
"CIS acknowledged that it is unlikely to see any of the judgment money but said that it was time that spammers learnt that their actions would result in an economic death penalty."
Sooo.... who gets the money? If the spammer doesn't actually have to pay the money, then what did they learn and why will they change?
I hope that doesn't mean that the free flash download will go the way of the free acrobat reader download that tries to install a bunch of crap on your machine along with what you really want.:P
What's complicated in those steps? It's a bunch of clicky-clicky.
Considering he didn't have to edit one config file or compile a single program himself, I'd still say those steps are easier than numerous Linux tasks.
The post is a little overrated, though. Mark Russinovich, who wrote the original writeup on this rootkit, already explained how to get rid of it. This person is just summarizing. If he really did figure this all out himself, then we wasted a bunch of time.

Really? Secustick? They really named their product that? :P

There is no technical reason why these things can't work on XP, they just don't.
Prove it, then. How do you know it doesn't need APIs that are only available in Vista?
Apple goes out of their way to ensure compatibility.
I don't think I'd go that far. Try to run MacOS on non-apple hardware or take your iTunes-purchased music elsewhere.
I had trouble with the shield block for a while, but I found that if I just slow down the thrust and keep it a single, smooth motion it works perfectly.
This has to be the shittest, most uninformative article yet I've seen on Slashdot. I certainly won't be getting another subscription.
I have an nVidia card and it works just peachy under Vista.
Seriously, Microsoft internally is so disorganised and bloated by managers you wouldnt believe, I know because I WORK THERE EVERY DAY. Me, too. :)

The thing went from whiteboard to store shelves in about a year. I doubt they wasted their time purposefully "breaking" features.
I think there are softare issues to think about as well. Sure, they could have thrown all those features in, but likely it wouldn't have been out for the holiday season.
This doesn't mean there are no bugs in the code. This means there aren't more bugs _in this exact code path_ that test case exercises.
There is such a thing as regression. The automation assures that bugs that were fixed in the codepath don't pop up again.
The effect of this is that you have bits and pieces of Vista that are tested really well and other bits and pieces that aren't tested _at all_.
I'm sure this is true for any sizeable software product, including MacOS X and Linux.
If the glove don't fit, you must acquit!

iWish they would stop using iWords for every single product. :P
