Indeed, my Sony laptop does not include it in the BIOS. It's a Pentium Dual-Core model,(none of which have VT-x), but I think they still don't include this option in the BIOS with their Core 2 Duo machines.
You assumption hold true for a lot of rap music, but not the music of Trent Reznor... mindless swearing/sexuality is mainstream, but a creepy song about killing yourself still has some punch to it.
Even the most prideful members of/. go about saying "IANAL" almost out of sheer reflex any more. I'm tired of hearing it.
Lawyers have really managed to convince the population at large that they their art is magic... when in fact they ultimately do something directly analogous to what I did in high school speech: do some research and present an opinion in a persuasive manner.
Persuasiveness is much more important than having good evidence in both cases. Hardly something that makes one into a socially unquestionable demigod.
Trent Reznor is the artist with the most tech savvy attitude on the planet, at least as far as popular acts go. He currently has no record label contract and surely will never again have one, he has released music for free (as in beer), and has released music under the CC license, allowing fans to freely share and remix it. He has leaked his own material (the Broken Movie and the Closure DVD) to The Pirate Bay to overcome legal entanglements, because he wanted his music out there for people to hear. Like his music or not or not, you have to give him some credit for breaking out of the mainstream and proving the old record label system of doing things is not a necessity and can be overcome.
His attitudes resonate with a lot of us here on/. and I wouldn't be surprised if he is a member of this site.
Apple should reconsider... Trent has probably made the majority of his music on Apple computers, so he is a highly visible user of their products, not just "some musician". They should have embraced the marketing opportunity presented here.
I hope Trent shuns them for this... Apple's control freak attitude does not match with Trent's embrace of freedom, in both the monetary and the speech sense of the word. I say he is a trailblazer, the first big artist of the post RIAA/copyright dominated world. The first artist of the 21st century and the digital information age.
I assume breathalyzer evidence is given such great weight because it is "scientific evidence"? Then why shouldn't be subject to peer review... which is a central tenet of science?
Without that, it's nothing more than a magical "black box, of unknown accuracy, and does not deserve to be considered "scientific proof"... throw away part of the valid process of science, and you debase the source of its supposed objectivity.
I am eager to see the old cable subscription model fail, so we can actually have some decent internet speeds here in the US.
If these companies have trouble monetizing this new approach, that won't exactly break my heart, though.
Very true. I just figured the way in which direct download sites charge for premium accounts is a more obvious model of monetizing copyright infringement than the advertising or donations on a torrent site.
why direct download sites operated with so little trouble, when torrent sites were always being targeted for infringement.
Maybe that will start to change.
Absolutely correct! You either have to haul around gaseous hydrogen at 5000, 10000, or 15000 psi in your tank (sounds real safe, eh? Thus is what Honda is doing) or have your tank maintain a temp of less than 20.28K (that's -423.17 F) to keep the hydrogen in liquid form (BMW's route in their hydrogen 7 series). Either way, just maintaining the fuel in the tank is incredibly wasteful of energy.
I was originally planning a full format and reinstall for this release, not only so I could obliterate my Vista partition, but also to take advantage of ext4, which I assume requires a full wipe.
Should I just try upgrading in place instead? This news has me reconsidering...
All my favourite colors are dark... right now I roll in a sable black Cadillac Seville. Black is the best color (lack of color?) for lots of cars... how much of the coolness of the Buick Grand National and GNX was based on the "everything is black" aspect?
This is plain retarded.

The more intrusive the DRM becomes, the more appealing the other alternatives get... just like digging your own grave.
It's the same old problem of attacking the paying customers, while having no effect on those who don't pay for the content.

AMD has placed this support in almost all of their recent chips, but Intel has been more stingy with it.
It's necessary to use 64-bit guests in Virtualbox, but VMWare can make due without it.

Good to see Trent's music is still "controversial" (thought provoking?) after 15 years.
Not too much music can claim to be edgy after so long. Elvis was shocking to people at first, but hardly that way in 1971.
I think it's a positive attribute.
Grammar nazi fodder?
They don't host their own tracker, so they weren't really putting anything on the line before anyway. This isn't surprising to me.
For the same reason they use the Gates Cyborg icon? Being stale is cool, apparently.
That's Rage Against The Machine... not Nine Inch Nails.

I have an XP virtual machine that is pre-WGA, and I see no way to update it normally without installing WGA... that includes DL'ing IE8.

You want Netcraft to confirm it, don't you?
Does anyone else find it disturbing we now have people in the US gov't we refer to as "czars"? WTF.
I had the exact same problem as you guys... I can't think of that game without being pissed at the strategy guide.
The University of Nebraska system works the same way.
I'm holding out for the Borg nanoprobes... then things will get really interesting!
