Nothing possibly could go wrong with a game where you're a Muslim assassin killing the leaders of the Holy Crusades!
Implying a great deal, I thought, of sarcasm. Well, guess what. During the Crusades, Christians did, in fact, invade Moslem lands. The Moslems fought back. Why is this a problem? Maybe they even used unconventional warfare tactics, such as assassination. Why is this a problem? Why should an invaded people feel the need to constrain themselves? Well, there's all sorts of reasons why, actually, but there's nothing inherently *wrong* with defending yourselves; there are just ways to go about it that will have consequences that might outweigh their effectiveness.
When we turn to 'unconventional warfare' in the face of enemy invasion, they are referred to as 'partisans,' 'patriots,' or possibly 'freedom fighters.'
When our friends turn to 'unconventional warfare' in the face of enemy invasion, they are referred to as 'guerillas,' or 'freedom fighters.'
When our enemies turn to 'unconventional warfare' in the face of enemy invasion, they are referred to as 'terrorists,' 'butchers,' or 'cowards.'
Maybe. But System Restore can be done without any sort of filesystem trickery; it's just making a copy of important files before you clobber them. Of course, a simple way of doing this, if you have the file system, is copy-on-write...
Remember, System Restore was introduced with Windows ME.
NTFS isn't a bad file system, by any means; however, it does things differently than UNIX, and therefore, to some, is inherently flawed. Of course, these same people then turn around and talk about how bad a monoculture is...
Big Bad Microsoft says 'Hey, you can pay thousands for the full version, or you can use this free version, with some of the niftier bits removed; if you like it, and it's all you need, then off you go. If you need the niftier bits, then buy the full version. Everybody wins.
Somebody goes 'neener neener, I'm going to hack up the free version so I don't have to pay for the full version.'
Big Bad Microsoft goes 'Great, good luck with that.'
Somebody then says 'na-na na-na boo boo, I got it to work, and I'm giving it to EVERYBODY!'
Big Bad Microsoft says 'Ah. So we tried to work with the community, released a free version that's 'good enough' for most people, and this is what we get in response. Ok, we're back to selling only the full version for lots of dough.'
One could make the argument that the TiVos that encode incoming video do make an 'analog' copy; that is, the copy is an analog of what's actually being received. The TiVos that are integrated with something like the DirecTV systems, which simply save the incoming data bit-for-bit, on the other hand, wouldn't be analog.
B, not start that fight. Why is Iran a theocratic state? Because the US of A overthrew the democratic government and installed the Shah, who was, in turn, overthrown by the Ayatollahs.
There's a quote from Rumsfeld circa 1991/1992 about why Desert Storm didn't go on to invade Iraq; civil war, insurgency, bloody war for ten years, no way to win hearts and minds, blah blah blah.
I wouldn't say that one should use the ZP Experiment to excuse or condone torture, so much as to explain and avoid it. Simple third-party oversight can do wonders, as the experiment showed. Which was lacking, for example, at Abu Girhab. But it's also common wisdom that you don't have regular army perform police duties.
Reference also the Milgram Experiment. Or even his lesser known one, where he determines how many people, on average, have to be standing on a street corner, staring at nothing in the sky before passers-by start looking too.
Men in Black summed it up best: 'A person is smart. People are dumb.'
Well, to be fair, America isn't trying to conquer or crush Iraq. They're hobbled by the fact that they've sent their army in to do non-army things.
Couple that with tactics like using a Mosque as a firing position, then screaming bloody murder to the international media when somebody dares shoot back...
Evolution has nothing to do with the 'origin of life.' Evolution only states that life tends to adapt itself to it's environment, and that over time, those adaptations can result in some pretty big changes.
Then there's Archon, where when a piece moves to another piece's square, the two players move to an arcade combat sequence, and the winner keeps their piece.
And how many of those half dozen would survive the assault?
At worst? The same number that would survive when the shooter starts walking up the desks and plugging kids in the back of the head. At best? Probably all of them; it's hard to shoot-to-kill when you're being mobbed.
Well, she's certainly not the 'traditional' shrinking wallflower, 'oh, hay-lp, I need a MY-AN to protect poor lil' ole me!' sort. Sure, she's not in-your-face or anything, but still.
Nah, they did that to show that's she's a violent, slightly unstable, and somewhat self-loathing woman. The President, on the other hand, is a 'tough' woman. Boomer is a 'tough' woman. Dee is a 'tough' woman. Cally is a 'tough' woman.
Oh, it's easy as pie to make Windows perfectly secure. The problem you get is that lots of lazy applications just assume they have Windows 9x style full control over the system.
Kind of like it's not the fault of the Linux Kernal that C programmers do unsafe things with strings and you get buffer overruns.
Over the next few years, more and more developers will get around to writing 'proper' least-rights compliant software, and will stop trying to write to verbotten registry keys, %SYSTEMROOT%\Program Files, and so on, and it will all be good.
When I compare your 25+ year old approach which is strife with viruses to UNIX's 30+ years of a nice secure track record, the choice on the way to go is pretty clear.
Oh, the revisionist history! This is the same UNIX that, fifteen years ago, would give you root access *for the asking* through, oh, sendmail, lpr, RPC, X, all sorts of stuff.
Remember kids, UNIX is nothing more than MULTICS with all of the security stuff *removed*. To make it easier to use. The name UNIX is a pun on the fact that it's a castrated version of MULTICS.
The only thing UNIX really has going for it is experience; that is to say, all of the really stupid mistakes have had 30 years to be found.

Actually, I believe that what they're talking about is closer to NTFS's Volume Copy Shadow Service.
NTFS isn't a bad file system, by any means; however, it does things differently than UNIX, and therefore, to some, is inherently flawed. Of course, these same people then turn around and talk about how bad a monoculture is...
Well, look at it this way.

And everybody else loses out.

True, that. Good thing they're talking about from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes, not to 4096 kilobytes.

Right-click on the Control panel icon you wish to run, whilst holding down the shift key, and 'runas' will be an option in the context menu.
Ah, but therein lies the point. You'll not find 'high crimes and misdemeanors' actually defined anywhere; it applies when Congress decides it applies.
Offer them more money, and they'll give you whatever SLA you want.
But even four hours is better than any DSL or Cable service, generally which quite specifically don't have any form of SLA, SLO, or even SLHaD.
