This could very well have been your problem. Look down to Known Issues. I had to deal with this today, and although the customer didn't have SP2, they did have the new V5 Windows Update.
Really... Come on over. I've got a PS that'll knock you dead in nothing flat at about 10-20 miilivolts. Of course, it's about 300 amps. But then agian, it's the volts right...
Yeah, maybe if you jam the electrodes right through my chest. A power supply that was incapable of putting out any more than 10-20mV? I'd touch it in a heart beat. Bring it on over.
IF Sveasoft gives ME a copy of the binary, and I give YOU a copy of the binary, then it is MY responsibility to give you the source code if you were to ask for it, NOT Sveasoft's.
Once they distribute the binaries, they must give source access.
They must give source access TO YOU. Not to anyone else.
Touche. Sorry about that. Didn't read too much in detail, and missed where you had written the number as one million instead of 1,000,000, when you had written all other numbers numerically.
I believe newer machines can do a bit more than that. I guess very few people have a monitor refresh rate of more than 100Hz. That means you will have time for about 10000 switches. Of course you can't use all your CPU time just to be switching, but let's say you can do a single frame with less than 1000 switches, then you certainly wouldn't have a performance problem. And if more than 1000 switches are required to do a single frame, then you have a broken design that needs to be fixed.
I believe you need to invest in a calculator. 10000 switches, divided by 1000 switches per frame = 10 frames per second. A performance problem.
A bit of background information. I'm a computer tech that deals with the general public. Despite keeping my job alive, I really do hate spyware. This software causes a fair-sized chunk of my customers' problems, and it gets repetitive to keep having to uninstall it. That being said, I think we have to look at the bigger picture.
Spyware isn't some kind of magic software that spontaneously appears. Admittedly, it can be a bit deceptive, but still prompts you for an installer. The problem is that people install software blindly without considering the outcome of their actions. If a perfect stranger, without identifying himself as an employee from a company you knew about, showed up at your house asking to poke around on your computer for a while, what would you do? You would slam the door on his face, and make a mental note: "No, I do not trust content from the Gator company"
My girlfriend's mom was having problems with OE, saying she couldn't open attachments that were being sent from the school. Turns out they were.doc and.pdf files. If a PDF isn't safe to open, what is?!
When they go to open the attachment called "Jennifer XXX cool.jpg.pif", what do you think they actually mean? Show me some porno! What do they get? Viruses.
Are we going to integrate some kind of porn finder into Outlook, just to keep the users safe?
This service has been around for a few years. We're in a very sparsely populated area (35k people in my town). When it first started, we mocked it, saying that it would never work around here. Then we realized that it was still around, and aparently gets good use.
I think their secret is that it wasn't some kind of VC startup, but rather a grocer that decided to go online.
Microsoft have sold you (through Sony) what they call an OEM version of the software which they purport to only allow you to use on the original hardware you bought it on....
So you don't currently have the right according to the license agreement to use that copy of the software anywhere other than the computer you bought it on.
I don't believe that the second quote is true. Sony and Microsoft have a business agreement that Sony can only provide a copy of Windows XP that will work on their laptop, in exchange, Microsoft gives them better prices. This is fine, this is capitalism at work.
However, business agreements between Microsoft and Sony have no meaning to me. I could care less how their business dealings go. They are not my concern. What I am concerned with is simply the fact that I have purchased a piece of copyright-protected software, and can do as I wish with it within the bounds of copyright (and in the USA, the DMCA).

NVidia's crash modern kernels

Untrue. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1
At least not "modern" nvidia drivers

I'll second that. It's amazing how little computer hardware manufacturers think of disabled people.

The store I work at is a Canadian distributor of Maltron. We've only sold a few, but the customers are always quite impressed with them.
I hope they didn't use Frontpage to make this article. I'd hate to see them violate their license agreement
And what about those schmoes who never bought XP but run it? How do you verify without pissing off the real users?
:D
They're in for a real surprise when they try to install SP2
So? What gives you the idea that most hobbyist programmers are students?
Well, if you read the parent to my comment, they were refering to a student.

Also, most schools have a legal defense team for their students.

I believe that would be in one of the TEN PCI slots...

And the i860 is controlling my DSL modem right now! What a team they make!
On a larger scale? How much larger do you want? Financial transactions nationally just DIDN'T HAPPEN.
Because the error messages are descriptive,
Segmentation Fault.
Lets make that 3. My Visa payment went in, and then the money showed up back in my account. Go team! I guess I should have put more on my Visa ;).
People are already trying. I've had several pages attempt to install .xpi files onto my computer. In Linux!
I don't know if anyone else got that, but I did. :D You're not alone in the world of The Cube.
But you can't burn a copy for a friend :D
