1963 when the UK parliament adopted the international definition (from 1959) of the pound as 0.45359237 kilogrammes. Ironically for you, it will change again if the definition of the kilogramme changes as per the article.
Sounds like you want logmein free, works great on Windows 7 and XP. You might want to disable the mirror driver in Windows 7 or Vista if it causes you to lose Aero effects.
If I recall correctly one of the optional updates for XP is the updated client for the more recent RDP server in Windows 7.
I have an ipod touch and this is definitely not what I want. I didn't buy an iphone because all it is is a thicker, heavier ipod touch with worse battery life and a mediocre phone and camera built in. I have a nice, small, light mobile phone with an acceptable camera and it doesn't make me look like a tit holding a metal brick up to my ear to make a call.
No, what this ipod touch user wants is iOS support (or at a pinch an app) to allow me to do what the ipod touch hardware is perfectly capable of, I want to be able to bond my ipod touch through bluetooth to my cheap but very capable phone for mobile internet access on the ipod. That would be the best of both worlds, a phone which works great and a mobile entertainment device which works great. As a bonus you could also still use the ipod while talking on the phone, can the iphone do that?
Most SIP clients I've seen support STUN, which allows two NAT'd clients to talk to each other. The basic way that it works is for both clients to send a UDP packet to the STUN server. Their stateful NATs then set up a mapping from the public port to the private port. The server then forwards the address and port to each of the parties and then they can communicate with each other on that port. This needs a server set up on the public Internet, but so does Skype (so you can find the peer to peer network).
You just made fearlezz's point for him, I've highlighted the points where you did it. Yes, Skype needs servers, but the whole point is that Skype provides servers, some penniless foss project isn't going to provide servers which can cope with 18,989,413 clients at the same time (number plucked from Skype right now, the peak is probably higher).
100Mb!? Really? I don't know what anti-virus you use but I've never seen one use over 10-20Mb.
Right now windows task manager is reporting: McShield.exe 91,764K EngineServer.exe 83,660K
And the best of it is, it's the SonicWALL Enforced Client. If this bloated piece of shit doesn't have a little chat with the company firewall to say that everything is tickety boo, all requests for port 80 outside the LAN get redirected to a "you need to install the bloated crap" page. Nice.
Also, I've been running Windows 7 since it was released to beta now and I haven't noticed any problem with the sound quality even whilst running multiple applications - including media player. Are you sure that you don't just have a crappy soundcard/speaker connections?
Did you read the summary? Have you tried a sound recording while playing back? Disclaimer, I haven't tried it either, but then I'm only running the beta in virtualbox.
That is the biggie, I'll be retired by then, but that's when all the embedded equipment and old computer systems which store the date as a signed 32bit integer will go kablooey, it will make the millennium bug look like a picnic.
approach to resurrecting extinct species. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws.)
( ) Possibility of creating mutant monsters ( ) We are defenceless against brute force attacks (x) People will not put up with giant stampy animals roaming about (x) The police will not put up with giant stampy animals roaming about ( ) Requires too much cooperation from organised religion (x) Requires immediate total cooperation from government regulators ( ) Time travel isn't possible ( ) Time travel into the past isn't possible without a wormhole which was (is) in the past already

I only know enough about networks to be dangerous but, experts correct me if I'm wrong, this has the potential to allow DNS query responses to be spoofed sending the victim to either a hostile website or through a hostile proxy? Also, I guess, by injecting fake ARP packets you could deny someone access to their own wireless network?
Well, I don't know about Vista, but in XP one opens a command window and types "ftp" which opens up Microsoft's command line ftp client (presumably more or less the BSD client compiled for Win32).
We've had a hands free version for years, it's called a blindfold. It does kinda require the co-operation of whoever you're trying to cloak things from though.
All an aviation medical proves is that you were probably alive at the time of the medical. I knew a fellow pilot who died of a heart attack the day after getting his aviation medical renewed!
Anyone else see the cover and think...

How could it possibly be in Microsoft's interest to allow or facilitate the resizing of partitions?
They want your hard drive to be one big C: NTFS partition with no room for a Linux partition.
If you run defrag on a fairly empty NTFS partition it's noticeable that some data will get shoved to the end of the partition and probably won't get moved back to the beginning.
If I were to be unkind, I would suggest that this is deliberate behaviour to prevent third party partition resizing applications reclaiming enough space to make a partition for a competing operating system install.
I did a variant of that to myself, company policy was that PCs should be locked when unattended and you ran the risk of being written up in the company QHSE risk identifying system. So, I: 1. Took screenshot of desktop logged into QHSE reporting system. 2. Replaced wallpaper with screenshot. 3. Locked PC. 4. Dragged the "This computer is locked" box to the edge of the screen. 5. Left it and waited. 6. ??? 7. Never did work out how to "Profit".

I saved it in case I started getting sick from the bite.
After a while of not getting sick I was tempted for a while to see what it tasted like, never did. But meat is meat.
You do know that once you start getting symptoms from Rabies you have one choice, kill yourself now or suffer an agonising death later.

How appropriate, it's a picture of a lame duck.
Damn, I don't have any modpoints, I would have modded you informative for the ironic effect.

It wasn't just you. According to the BBC they already did find an Extra-Terrestrial Gnome on Mars.
If you end up in some evil mirror universe where W became President instread of Gore you could use the plans to build another LHC to get back home.
More to the point. Can we all go back with you?
Guess what, another intelligent species did develop alongside us, we now call them Neanderthals. They're no longer around.
Seriously, this happened to me LAST YEAR! I presumed "Mastercard Secure" would pull the same shit, so I'm enrolled in that.
