All the assignment at ISP's is probably automated. Lease times for routers is way longer than 3 minutes, or however long it takes for you to reboot your modem. Every time your account is assigned a new IP then your customer information in the ISP database has to be updated, too. It's not uncommon for "dynamic IP's" to last for months or years.
I concur with the fellows who say that it is your decision, and this is a frivolous question. Surely you have not wasted my time; I have read this thread for ten minutes and don't feel disappointed.
I've had one incident where Windows was unable to detect a bluetooth mouse. Maybe the mouse died, I don't know, I just replaced the mouse with a Logitech wireless.
I don't see why bluetooth would be any slower than another radio frequency mouse. I think performance will be the same, BT or RF.
His friend won't listen. Mac users that have paid 2x as much money for their machine will fanatically defend anything their brand manufactures, regardless of quality. mod flamebait? I think not.
I agree with MSN == bullshit. Drive indexing, I could go with. System restore?? I've saved many-a-installation by manually restoring the registry from "c:\system volume information\restore 'point'\snapshot" folder. I vote stay on the default SR option, especially with the dirt cheap prices on HDD space these days.
I don't envision the problem being people inserting unknown flash drives. I see the problem as, a well-hidden malware program exists on a frequently-used flash drive that the user has received no indication that anything is amiss. When the user inserts the flash drive at his friend Bob's house, the malware program automatically is "autorun" and effs shee-it up. That's what I think the real threat is.
In Windows XP you must hit Windowskey-R to open the run box before you type anything. In Vista's auto-search thing, you can't type "d:" or any other drive. I find Vista's Start Menu defaults annoying compared to XP (perhaps I'm just stuck on XP)
OS* = 10% of the market. Windows = 80% of the market. Don't give me any MS is desperate bullshit. Microsoft PWNS any legitimate business and if you worked

If your whole LAN is IP6, who cares, because it's the node that receives your paid public WAN IP that matters!
Considering this is private reserved address space, your exorbitant price tag yields absolutely no valuable product.
"Yan-kee Doo-dle went to town a - riding on his po -ny" is all eight notes. It would not be distinguishable without pitch changes.

Correct me if I'm wrong - digital certificates combine public and private keys to produce a digital signature that cannot be faked.

Fifteen years?!? WTF are you smoking?
I found an excellent page describing dives from the top of the castle in Super Mario 64 on geocities once.
