No you don't: You have the option, and vague threats saying it would be a good idea, but they in no way force you to validate your windows. I just dl'ed it without validating. And you don't send the Serial Number at all: you send an encrypted hash key. For all we know, it could be random letters just for MS Shits and Googles.
Very, very hard, unless you use obscure (for your Grandma, since that is our non-sensical yardstick of intuitiveness here) software to get rid of it, and that can cause more problems. Plus, even without IE you can still have FatTrack installing malware as your Granny tries to upload pictures of herself...
It does, surprisingly enough, work with Firefox. Felt for sure they'd be trying to ram some more ActiveX down the general public's throat. Oh, and the activation: it's for the final product, so you either have to do it now, or later, or not use the MS branded version. (Most people recommend AdAware or Spybot; I generally install Ubuntu. It saves some time on upgrades, etc.)
MIT, Cornell, and many other top caliber schools and corporations (is there a difference up there anymore?) all use Kerberos for almost all their services. An in response to my brother-post, Win2k uses a custom, non-free kerberos service that is really not kerberos at all, since it can't be accessed by non-Win systems easily.
No matter the intent, the worm doesn't take into account all the variables that go into a box. Maybe 95% of the users who get it ARE idiots, as a lot of posters have said, but the 5% left may have their reasons...

That's not evolution, that's just training. At most, on average, the girl will have 2.3 kids, but probably under two. Less educated, less-multitasking people will, STATISTICALLY ON AVERAGE, still have more children. So, even if it is genetic and not conditioned (though I see no evidence that it is even genetic, and hence no evolution), this isn't something that will evolve. Much more likely, it would quickly devolve away, because highly productive people are more likely to get involved in their work-> become workaholics and/or loner/.'ers -> 0 offspring, game over man, game over.
And if you don't know what wikipedia is, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia.

Teddy is a free (as in beer), more open (as in they listen to their users and involve them in the process) package that seems to do just about the same.

Re:I find distributions like Knoppix stupid
on
Knoppix 3.7 Released
·
· Score: -1
Distributions like Knoppix got me, and many I know, to switch from Windows to Linux. Under the right circumstances (fast computer, lots of spyware on Windows) it boots up just as fast as a Windows Boot Up -> Log on -> Finish Loading Needless Apps.
It also saved my harddrive, which was fried and only working in about 30 minute spurts. I couldn't boot windows, but with Knoppix I could just managed to open up a share and copy all my files into it, before the hard drive fritzed again. This saved me retyping 50+ pages of work, and 20 gigs of porn... I mean, uhm, Math research.
For the first time in a while, the game was actually better than the commercials, (well, ok just the second half.) Esp. compared to last year. although it was fun to see all that corporate money flow down the drain! What s not to like.
hopefully these already pretty poor college kids will get the chance to free long distance again. otherwise, get people to use calling cards and boycott the tel. service.
No internet isn't cruel and unusual. Heck, only about 40% of the us has it... It is a commodity and a privelidge. Yes, 7 years w/o someones true love is long, but he did something wrong. Im just saying don't say no internet is cruel: thousands of inner-city kids have no heat or a/c, televions or running water, or even a decent education. So why do you complain for kevin? socialism forever
Well, why is everyone saying "Hey, they ain't that great, they give it away free anyways..."? Well, this just makes them better, and the publicity stunt will probably save thousands of tax dollers,. teach necessary networking skills, and basically a lot of other good things.
I've been following nanotech for years, and written several lengthy reports on it. So I can say: It ain't gonna happen in 20 years, and just barely 50. So security worries are a while off, and medical applications, well, there a long long way off.
It seems that, indeed, the first space age is over. No longer is NASA the glorious symbol of power and the American Dream it once was. Now, underfunded and dying, it hearkens for a new era: Commercial Space Exploration. Unfortunately, (Despite what some/.er's say, this is decades, if not centuries off, and the population is still growing. This is why we need to continue letting our kids smoke: it lowers fertility and decreases the surplus population = )
Once there was a guy named HaxorDOod7. He thought he was pretty cool, making his own viruses and using a punter. One day he stumbled upon a little site called slash. He thought it would be funny to spam the message board. He put up kreepy posts about natalie portman. 4 days later, he was abducted by elvis and was never seen again

Just follow the three 'R's of good computer management,

1)Relax,
2)Recompile,
3)Reboot.
