And reminds me of what happened at my first job, though the guy from my experience wasn't that bad. He still did indicate to me one day that the code was the documentation. The good thing was he was more helpful with me figuring it out.
Why would a third party "security" product require a secret law-enforcement backdoor? The FBI, CIA, NSA, etc. would simply have Microsoft provide a backdoor into ALL of Windows.
One thing I can think of is emulated systems where people run Windows software on non-Windows environments. I'm not sure how good it would actually be, but that would be my first thought as to why to go in to the security products.
If the environment is good enough to run a Windows products, it'll run the flaws most likely. Someone might have the bright idea of putting an AV in it.
People have done and been successful sometimes in doing crazier things.
The other thing is maybe the stuff in the security products is providing other features the stuff in the main OS isn't.
I've found Oblivion Elder Scrolls to be pretty open for a game world. Not only can you drop off and pick up the main story line as much as you want, but after you complete it you can still mess around in the game world dungeon diving and all other kinds of fun things.
Why spend $60 a month on a new game when you can pay $15 a month for a game that is updated somewhat regularly?
Granted a game can go stale after so much play, but look at whats happening in WoW. They're throwing vehicle combat around like candy. Even their new raid dungeon coming out has the first boss done in vehicles.
New game play, same game, same $15/month. Why buy the $60 game even if it's a new MMO? It'd be interesting to see if WoW pull's an XP on Blizzards new MMO in the works.
I've found their ads to be the least annoying on the internet. The reason I find their ads the least annoying is because 9 times out of 10 they only have text and no irritating graphics or flash crap.
I think the next time I buy a netbook will be when they have the resolution at 1024x768 and not just fudged with software or something. My EEE 1000 40G works just fine, especially after I put Ubuntu on the sucker.
But there are those who could care less about computers, internet, and god knows what else. If they made the internet a public utility like phones and things it might pick up but they'd still need a device to connect.
It would be interesting if down the road the internet does become a public utility and they actually issue internet devices like phone companies provided phones. The netbook market would be huge for this.
When I see Windows 7 Live CDs like I see Ubuntu and other Linux live CDs then I will really think that Windows 7 is modular. That right there says to me that you can have as little or as much as you want.
I looked at this and my first thought was The Onion. Then I clicked on the link and saw it was real and not The Onion.
Looks like Dell and the woman screwed up on that one. Dell should have met her needs better and she should have had the sense to tell them no when they told her Ubuntu is what she wanted when she knew she needed MS stuff.
I'm trying to think of the fun I could have with windows on a sub, a projector, a 3D virtual fish screen saver, several speakers, and a bucket of water when someone opens a door.

I trust him about as much as I trust a used car sales person when he/she says I don't have to look under the hood of the used car I'm buying. Hello Mr. Griffin, TAX PAYER money you are using there, not your own personal funds.

That is easy to counter.

How do you handle some jackass blocking the door, thereby preventing the train from leaving until security removes the blockage from the doorway?
A running start usually works decently.

I don't think I could run all those programs concurrently. The human mind wasn't designed for such things.

Right.. so now every time I see someone with their jaw hanging to the floor I know they play a Horde druid. Anyone have a spare thing of polygrip?

From LHC Repair Guy 1: Hey, do you think this will work?

From Me: Universe, please start beach babe program 101.
From Universe: Fatal error in beach babe execution. Dork array value out of range.

Nevermind...
It won't be a doctor because of the sheer number of apples they have each day.

Love my Ubuntu at work and home.
Hmmm... I've yet to get the shit beat out of me on the internet, but have gotten my ass kicked at a playground a couple times.
Which is more dangerous?
That depends, do you have one of these?
If this isn't something that says get prepared now I don't know what is.
Your making this too difficult. Just pull the plug at the bottom under the sun stand.
This is the dumbest most unprofessional patent I have ever seen.
Theres even a kids drawing in the patent.
That isn't a kids drawing, that is actually a good drawing of what it looked like back in the day. I remember logging in to there long ago.
I have a plan and you all will soon bow down before me:
1) Create perfect woman in petri dish
2) First /.'er to lose virginity
3) Patent troll
4) ?
5) Profit

Performance tests show that an abacus and a box of crayons beat Vista.

In my day we only had monochrome Etch-A-Sketches and the refresh was easier and kept you in reasonable shape.
Now I have life time storage of pictures running since day 1 of my life.

* Singing with friends.
