And this is exactly the problem. The problem is in our overly litigious society, you have to cater to the lowest common denominator or they will sue you when they are unhappy. If we would fix that problem, then it wouldn't be such a danger for the school when something does happen.
They aren't implementing WPF for the same reason that Microsoft is not adding anything to WPF. MS considers it a dead technology and is pushing SilverLight. Mono is much better off putting the resources into Moonlight than it is into a Mono implementation of WPF.
Natural gas prices are extremely low right now and likely to stay that way for a while because supply has gone threw the roof in recent years. New harvesting techniques have greatly increased the amount of natural gas available and reduced the cost of getting it.
I don't know a lot about these fuel cells but if the produce less CO2 then standard combined cycle generators then these will likely be cheaper to run if Cap and Trade legislation is passed.
Mod this up. I live in the US Midwest and snow is not a problem, but we tend to get ice at least once a year. Even if the ice is only a quarter inch thick, you can't scrape it off (at least not without breaking your scraper) until you warm up the car a little to loosen up the ice. Snow is very easy to deal with and my car has my window defogged in 30 seconds but getting rid of the ice takes time.
That's always been my opinion too. A lot of people complain about Steam saying it is the ultimate form of DRM, but they fail to miss the point that while it may be a form of DRM it also adds a lot of value to the games you buy through it.
I had to reformat a while ago and installing games was so much easier than it used to be because of Steam. Queue them up and go to bed. In the morning I had almost all the games I ever play ready to go. That convenience adds a great deal of value to the games for me.
I have no doubt that Kubuntu truly is crap, but that is only because Kubuntu is easily the worst KDE distribution in existence. Please try something like openSuse or even Fedora with KDE and your experience will be fare superior.
Even if that statistic is correct that's still a 20% failure rate. If they are failing to find anything 20% of the time I would call the more of a problem then one bad raid.
Re:gparted and ntfs-3g on live cd?

Fedora 12 Released

I don't know about gparted but I doubt ntfs-3g will ever be included by default because of IP restrictions. Fedora has always been very careful about anything with IP attached and doesn't include it in the repos. You have to get it from RPM-Fusion.
How can you honestly say that Beck never backs anything up with facts? If you had ever listened to his radio show you would know half the time he spends playing audio. The audio is quotes that people have said. How exactly is that not facts?
I don't have video references like commodore, but if you want an example of Beck questioning Bush and Republicans just look up his responses to Medicare Part D. Before you starting spouting off bullshit, look at the facts. Beck has commonly gone after the Repubs. Even now he often talks about how he trusts the Republicans less than Democrats because the Republicans say they are the conservative party but are anything but.
I've used Fedora since Fedora Core 4 and am currently running 9,10, and 11 between different machines. I prefer Fedora over any other distro (having tried quite a few different ones in VMs before settling on Fedora). The only serious issue I've ever had with Fedora that I really wish would be fixed is the way the audio system works. They have tried pushing everyone over to pulse audio which overall I think is a great idea, but the problem is pulse audio isn't compatible with everything and when something tries to directly access ALSA or OSS it can break the whole sound system. So far I have had problems several times with me losing sound on my entire system with updates. I've also had it happen 3 or 4 times in a row.
I know the whole ALSA, OSS, or PA debate is more than just Fedora but I think that is one of the biggest issues in all the distros that needs to be looked at and considered carefully.
I think if they turned the Xbox on with the indicator lights off that would be a quick signal that something is wrong. I don't know about you but even though my Xbox is hidden behind my TV, I can tell you exactly when it's on. The 360 isn't exactly a quite machine.
Why bother doing that and just use the sentence. One of my favorite suggestions that I heard was to use a line from a song that you like. If you use something that is 4-6 words long there is no way it will guessed. It's also easier to remember because your brain can process actual English easier than it can type gibberish.
My tower weighs over 50 now. Any powerful computer in a large case will likely way as much as mine. I didn't RTFA but if I'm interpreting it right and the case itself is 47 pounds with no components then your probably looking in the mid 50's once everything is in there. That really is not that extreme and I've seen some computers that are far worse.
Exactly. The government gave them subsidies to build the network, but the big telco lobby is a powerful one and they got the language inserted that guaranteed they own the networks. I personally think since the infrastructure was build with government money it should be owned by the people and just considered public infrastructure. Unfortunately the telcos have a lot more money then me to send to Congress and so the people lose that fight.
The thing you are missing is that the infrastructure was build with government money. The competition is unfair because the big telco "own" the networks and if you don't have the government forcing them to sell their network capacity to the smaller ISPs then they will stop selling to the ISP or sell at high rates and then sell at low rates to their customers. This will put all the smaller ISPs out of business and once they are gone the big telco can jack up their prices because they have no competition.
Patents. Microsoft has patents that may cover your implementations of the technologies described in the Open Specifications. Neither this notice nor Microsoft's delivery of the documentation grants any licenses under those or any other Microsoft patents. However, a given Open Specification may be covered by Microsoft's Open Specification Promise (available here: http://www.microsoft.com/interop/osp ) or the Community Promise (available here: http://www.microsoft.com/interop/cp/default.mspx ). If you would prefer a written license, or if the technologies described in the Open Specifications are not covered by the Open Specifications Promise or Community Promise, as applicable, patent licenses are available by contacting iplg@microsoft.com..
I checked both the Open Specification Promise and the Community Promise and SMB2 is not covered by either. Just because Microsoft published the spec doesn't mean they won't sue you for patent infringment.
Reading the description on wikipedia wouldn't Google's homepage being posted publicly for years have qualified as "public use or publishing the details of an invention before applying for a patent"? That would seem to me that they would have put the design into public domain by using it before applying for a patent.

Tab order may be optional in the spec, but the laws of user experience dictate you specify a sane tab order.

PS3 requires a disc as well. I believe it is Netflix's way around the agreement they made with Microsoft to get it on the 360.

The White House requested them to be removed from the White House Press Pool. I would consider that trying to muscle them out.
