I don't think current Windows versions will allow that sort of thing to happen anymore. Only that app's window locks if it's not responding to requests, not the rest of the interface.
If the app doesn't respond to requests and you try to close it, Windows will tell you that the app isn't responding and ask if you want to kill it.
NTFS is a journaled file system (similar to ext3 writeback mode, I believe). It shouldn't even be running a chkdsk on bootup for an NTFS volume, unless perhaps it detects something really wacky with the file system..
FAT32, on the other hand, will always run a chkdsk whenever it wasn't unmounted cleanly. For a disk with that many small files, it would likely take even longer than a full NTFS chkdsk (whatever the reason is that that's even running), not to mention the horrific slack waste..
What kind of broken system are you running that BSODs 2K like that? The only reasons for that to happen are buggy hardware drivers, or broken hardware (bad RAM, etc.) - the same things that will cause Linux to "oops", by the way..
You can't just copy a DVD video with consumer equipment. Well, you can, but it will be useless because there will be no decryption keys - unless you plan to use a CSS cracker to play it.
Certainly it would be possible to copy the decryption keys along with the DVD data, but that would be quite a bit more complicated an affair..
Your comparison with the "dir" vs. "ls" isn't fair, actually - "dir" isn't actually an executable, it's a built-in command in cmd.exe, whereas the Cygwin ls.exe is a seperate executable - there will always be more overhead..
There likely would be evidence there - I believe the way this is likely done is to use some software to trick the cable modem into overriding the upstream/downstream bandwidth limit..
How is it possible that the stability of the Linux kernel is related to this discussion whatsoever? That amount of uptime is not impossible with Win2000/XP..
Well, if you did that, they'd sue you for using the Macrovision trademark without a license, and they'd have a case there. So you couldn't use the Macrovision name..
DVDs do store the film on disc at 24 fps (at least, for discs where film was the original source, and not TV). The DVD player is responsible for doing the conversion to the proper output frame rate for the TV, and also doing the conversion to interlaced format.
A ``typical C++ programmer'' writes ``int* p;'' and explains it ``p is a pointer to an int'' emphasizing type. Indeed the type of p is int*. I clearly prefer that emphasis and see it as important for using the more advanced parts of C++ well.
I agree with his point that while multiple declarations of variables on the same line can cause confusion with this scheme, there is a simple solution to this: Don't declare multiple variables on the same line.
I don't think any of the red-light camera systems will ding you in a situation like that, where the light turns red while you were already in the intersection.
If the CD burners are the same rated speed, there won't be a speed difference like that. The burner CANNOT go slower than its rated speed, unless it was a seriously messed up setup that was constantly under-running the buffer and activating the Burn-Proof..
This has nothing to do with the controller in use. If the software is written to do so, it can keep processing while another thread is reading from the disk - even on an IDE drive, even (to some extent) if it's an IDE drive running in crappy old PIO mode.
However, in many cases this is impossible. Take the case of a game: The game needs to load in data for a new frame. It is impossible for the game to render the frame until the data has finished loading. The CPU usage of the disk I/O is irrelevant because the program is waiting for the I/O to complete before continuing.
It has been - we already have 64 bit and/or 66 MHz versions which together would quadruple the speed of 32/33. They're just not used on machines other than heavy-duty servers, etc. at present because most regular uses of PCI just don't need that much bandwidth. I imagine this will start to change, however, because of such things as gigabit Ethernet.

I think all of those Apples he mentioned have an internal power supply..
I believe it was rewritten TO use the BSD-style (or even just the BSD) stack for Windows 2000. I think 95/NT used some crap stack that they wrote themselves.
The released versions of software like that will be compiled in release mode, which doesn't include all those checks, because they slow down execution. In this situation, if they didn't try to overflow the buffer during the testing process, it wouldn't be caught.
However, Visual Studio.NET is supposed to have an option to check for buffer overflows at runtime in a release build..
Except that the polar regions are where the most energy is required to launch something into space - for the most efficiency you need to launch near the equator to get a boost from the earth's rotation..
How about killing the process, like an assertion failure? Preferably dumping core? That could at least be an option. Wouldn't be great in some situations, but probably better than having the program go into never-never land and possibly causing a security risk..
If you compile in debug mode with Visual C++, it does all kinds of checks on malloc/delete calls. It definitely will catch double-frees in that mode (it brings up an assertion failure dialog, albeit with a rather cryptic error message). There are other options you can turn on for various degrees of paranoia, going so far as checking the entire heap for corruption every time memory is allocated/deallocated and printing "DAMAGE!" warning messages if it finds any.
There is no reason you couldn't do that with a modem - the transmit/receive lights are driven off the RS-232 data, the modem's modulation is completely irrelevant. All that matters as far as being able to do this or not is whether the light actually flashes for each bit, or whether it's just turned on when there is data passing and off when it's not.
If you'd read the article, you'd know that the authors say that they didn't find any LAN equipment that broadcasts information in this way. It was basically only serial communications devices (like external modems).
