So actually only a few groups have to change their installer behaviours and then the developers and distributors need to migrate over to the new system.

Actually, check out the fourth clause to the 14th amendment (popup alert!). Even if there was an issue with the budget of previous years, we're not even supposed to ask about it. There's probably even a law about citizens begging to know what's in the upcoming budget that makes it so danged expensive to run a democracy.
Want some more info from some guys who have done some digging? How about a truehistory of the American financial system? Or just about anything on this page is enough to help give an American a reason to get pretty dang pissed off.
But enough of the tangent, yeah, the prez really does have the congressionally appointed and judicially backed power to do just what you say, even if it is intended to be a little sarcastic.

Since you're the first one in this article I've seen refer to the drivers that these games install, I gotta ask:
WTF?
I get why a video card needs to install drivers, and I can see where a game would only run on maybe DX9+, so that if you have DX8.??- then it should check that and report to you, and ask you to install DX9+ before you continue.
BUT WHY WOULD A VIDEO GAME INSTALL ANY DRIVERS? A game should process the bits from the disk and the bits from the controller and display some other bits on the screen in an entertaining manner. End Of Story.
Now that I have cleared my mental vocal box, my mental ears (and the real ones too) are waiting to receive enlightenment so that I may understand and encompass this new thought process.
Your other reply beat me to it, but his point is the same. If the processor is going to LOAD the data, then it has to have been STOREd somewhere, right? So therefore the information that you want is on your system, it's just a matter of locating what is being accessed when the program loads, or, best case scenario (of the DRM manufac) is that it loads when WIN does and doesn't drop from the CPU (yeah, right) until you shut down. Alternately, eventually Windows will PAGE the data to the disk, so the possibilities really do continue to mount even if the technical difficulties grow with the original question.

indeed, my homebrew AMD-K6II with 182 MB RAM runs XP with either photoshop or AutoCAD and WMP/WinAMP just fine. The fact that the internet connection is only when I want to be online on that box (ie, cable remains unplugged normally so it doesn't get infected) doesnt hurt the situation either.
But this is just for those who don't realize that the minimum requirements really are okay, if you'll just go up a coupla steps. anything else is overkill.

same here, maxtor I believe, drive is now almost 7 years old, if not more, and the only solution i have found is to let the sys run for +/- 12 hrs, then cold boot a dozen times or so over the course of an hour or so, then it runs with no problem.

How many programmers know the deep details about the electronics that make up the processor?
If I could find a way to get you modded up past 5 I so would. This has been my whole philosophy ever since I have tried to educate those around me, and I'm just a grad level student.
So the yanks are still pissed that they weren't able to tax us into oblivion, or are you telling me that the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments DO need to be overturned since they were never processed the way the Constitution demands of amendments?
Now then, I don't mean to start a flame war, but what Lincoln and his Congress did were cheap shots, and I hate to see this sort of misrepresentation continue.
For those less fortunate and well-informed, the abolition of slavery was a cheap shot, since there were plenty of slave owners in the "North" at that time.
And where is here from? The headquarters of one of the major brands of soda/pop? In Atlanta, GA, the only word in use for a beverage that is non-alcoholic is coke, unless your background includes either a direct move from a non-Southern area or parents/gaurdians who are not from the South.
And yes, we do capitalize the South, what are you gonna do, tax us more?
A young man that I work with was asked his opinion about a pre-shift staff meeting that we have about 20 minutes into our shift*. He was in favor of the meeting as it gave him time for his "getting ready 'fore his getting ready". Naturally those of us who actually speak English had to spend a few minutes wrapping our brains around his pronunciation, then we had a good laugh while we attempted to understand this phrase. In retrospect, it's a perfectly reasonable phrase, however, at the time it was unintelligble, compounded by his lack of diction.**
* We work in a 24 hr production facility with 10 min overlaps. Therefore it is necessary to spend the first 10 mins getting the daily passdown from the prev shift and then the next ten putting out any fires, then we have the aforementioned mtg. ** Now I feel like a grammar prof or something. I really am just an average joe, but I cannot stand the way people want to cut off half their words, then mumble the ones they do say, while mangling the entire language./rant
The Internet search engine Google was named after this number. The original founders were going for 'Googol', but ended up with 'Google' due to a spelling mistake on a cheque that investors wrote to the founders.
Wow, did not know that about Zyklon B and Bayer AG/IG Farben! That's horrible!
Secondly, I've noticed a seeming consolidation of top-level companies, and very few breakups (such as the IG Farben references above). Have you ever seen any lists or do you have more information such as the above for parent companies (ie, I would love to start making a list of who owns whom, but without input from other researchers such as yourself, I would not have (i believe) enough time, ability and resourcefulness to adequately or knowledgeably compile such a list)?
Thirdly, your nom de plume, is that a play on Socrates, secretary or security?
Microsoft recommends releasing add-ons between 60 and 90 days after a game's release.
The article starts by discussing the success and popularity of DOA4, and then says that the game developers shouldn't want to release add-ons to the game for a full quarter? I can understand when the add-ons have not been developed yet (such as The SIMS), but certainly many add-ons can be developed in line with the game and released at a closer later date (ie war games that focus on mid-20th century Europe, or games such as the venerable C&C and all of it's subsequent titles).
If MS is going to cater to the gamer market, don't they need to realize that the best way to sell a lot of titles is to build on immediate success?
It's a bread field. A "job in IT" may mean troubleshooting computer problems or it may mean writing production-quality programs for internal use. A CS degree could definately help with the latter, but it may not be of tremendous use for the former.
May just be me, but the whole CS/IT debate would have you incorrect on this one. CS is for computer problems (ie hardware) and IT is for programming, nes?
