Not that anyone here cares, but this statement is BS. You will not BSOD by removing a CD or Floppy from a drive before windows is finished with it. Not in XP at least. I don't have any 95 machines laying around so I can't test it there.
The NT/win2k/xp line handles loss of communication to fixed disks and 'removable' quite well. I've had multiple drive failures during long scsi operations that resulted in annoying popup-message that the OS can't write to/device/blah/blah/blah, but never a BSOD (atleast not since NT 3.5, which DID have issues with BSOD and Raid controllers, but more the RAID driver issue than OS). And even with a write buffer enabled, it will warn you that you more than likely lost data (as the buffer wasn't flushed before the communication died) but it doesn't BSOD and dump.
anyhow, i know responding to someone named 'gillbates' on a MS technical FUD post on slashdot is just taking the bait, but i'm eating lunch and had nothing better to do.
It might be logically 'perfect' in terminal of relational math, but as a language, it's obtuse. The only book I could find on Bi Temporal database design ended up with all the tutorials written in this Utopian/Acadamian SQL language... holy crap was that annoying.
The reaons for wanting a change from SQL I agree with, but Tutorial D you'll never catch me using.
We need something to combine the power and speed of SQL query syntax with the nested filtering ability of XPath, yet doesn't require the entire DOM to be in memory to work.
I'm in Manhattan and have an Explorer 8000 DVR (non-HD). The freezes started about 2 months ago, at least. Even when nothing is being background recorded, your live broadcasts will stutter. It will actually lose frames, it's not like it's buffering.
Recording late night/early morning ( 2am-5am) has far less stutters. Before this problem, the probelm my friends and I had were with the VoD not working (buy it, play it, wait wait wait, error message).
I think their network is exceptionally overloaded. I can only imagine what HD is going to add to the saturation point.
He's an ass for giving the script kiddies something easy to mod and use, but it's not illegal.
Either way, some moronic programmer looking for props from some lame IRC channel would have written a functioning full featured exploit for the script kiddies sooner or later.
This has been done. There was an exploit that came in via an IE vulnerability and redirected all search engines to an IP address. As I recall, it worked so well they overloaded that IP (slashdot'd themselves). Most people infected saw 'Page cannot be displayed' type messages.
...because MS and Adobe would work together just to screw you over.
Chances are the Adobe app is making use of features _new_ to XP. So, what you are essentially bitching about is that these new features were not back ported to whatever previous version of MS OS you used.
And of course, if MS did back port these new features, you'd be bitching how MS is always adding new fangled features to released version of OS that do nothing but add bugs, insecurity, and instability.
Just admit there is nothing MS could ever do to appease you, and quit fucking using their software. That's why god gave you Linux.
It doesn't work this way. Your aliens can not detect a 'change' in the entangled particle. To determine the particle has changed, and what it's 'changed' into, requires bringing back the information (measurement) of the particle sent to earth to it's counterpart.
EPR is fascinating and can certainly help us get around Heisenberg, which is usefull in 'teleporting' tricks (or simply in quantom computer terms, data transportation), but in all scenarios, a piece of information must be communicated to the destination via normal (relativity obeying) means.

I, and many of my family member in other cable providers (whoever does Atlanta does the same thing) have had port 25 blocked. Took me awhile to figure out at first. Actually had to have a family membet telenet to blah:25 before i beleived what was happening.
The solution was to open up another port for SMTP access on our server.
This happened years ago, I never thought twice about it.
Remember back when everyone was interfacing stupid things to the internet. Coffemakers with IPs, soda machines with IPs, remote control vehicles, model trains, blah... blah.. blah.
It's old, it's done. I don't know what the next leap would be. Maybe interface some sort of semi-autonmous robot and let people control it for 5mins. But even that sounds familar. Maybe do that and deploy it in Iraq. That would be different.
The current record holder for the Mouse prize won by placing his mouse on a very strict diet. This isn't the South Beach Diet. The mouse was fed the minimum amount of calories to sustain it's life, and other systems that would normally fail were artifically supplemented in a way least likely to cause celluar damage.
The mouse winner played the Free Radical game. This is _NOT_ Healthy living. If you did this, you wouldn't be strong enough to walk, and barely enough to bring air into your lungs.
There are people out there that count their calories so closely they can perdict a 5yr added life bonus by decreasing the amount of waste products metabolism produces. Many are now suffering from delbitating illness like Osteoporosis.
So yes, Science does hold the answers to everything. It's not a miracle, it's _science_. We're a machine, we can be maintained like one.

You are correct this article is pure speculation. People complain about FUD coming from MS, yet post like this are the worse kind of FUD. And this is slashdot perpetuated FUD.
Slashdot is no better than Simone:
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
First off, people do not 'believe' in Budda or Tao. They aren't divine incarnations of the 'One' being, aka what "Jesus" was alleged to be. Buddism and Tao are philosophies. Buddha teaches things such as:
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." - Buddha
where old-testement bible gives us such insight as:
"I have called you by name, you are mine." - GOD
If you can't discern the difference, you are likely still a bit brain washed. Give it a few years, it wears off (12 years of catholic school training here).

Pretty cool stuff. The developer says the core will compile on Mono, but obviously there isn't DX for Mono.
Maybe someone can think about a Manged-DX style wrapper around OpenGL for the Mono Project.
Can't think it would be easy though. DX does a lot for you.
The source is supposed to be placed on SourceForge soon. Should be a fun project to hack on.
