Actually, that doesn't work exactly like it did in Windows 7. In Windows 8, the search feature is divided between apps and settings.
So, in order to find something in the control panel like "Add/Remove programs" you'd have to switch to the start screen, then select "settings" instead of "apps" and then start typing what you are searching for.
Very much a step backwards from the Windows 7 search experience.
My experience is pretty much identical to yours. My accounts with gmail and hotmail are both very old with the Hotmail account going back to 1998. The Hotmail account seems to get about 2x as much incoming spam sent to it and I very rarely see spam making it into my Inbox. With Gmail I can't recall the last time a spam email ended up in my Inbox.
However, Hotmail has a pretty significant false-positive rate in comparison to Gmail but I can't make an apples to apples comparison because the Hotmail account is essentially now a throw-away I use for signing up to websites vs my Gmail account which I'm a bit more leery of giving out.
Exactly. I just surfed to hushmail's login page via a browser I hadn't used before. It defaulted to the insecure non-java login even though Java is enabled in the browser and I received absolutely no warning at all about the feature being insecure.
I don't get kernel panics but after dumping the firmware from various versions of the windows drivers I still can't get my built-in bcm4306 wireless adapter on my pavillion zv5000 laptop working correctly (behavior from hard locks all the way up to dhcp working but not passing any packets afterwards). However, ndiswrapper has always worked flawlessly for me on this laptop.
Ever installed Linux in a laptop? I think you'll find that the scavenger hunt for drivers is similar to what Gary experienced.
Granted, Linux support for laptops could be better but it is far better than it used to be. My experience with Knoppix Linux was that it supported everything except wireless out of the box on my HP Pavilion 5000 series laptop. Getting wireless running was a bit more challenging (Broadcom chipset) but it basically involved downloading the Windows wireless drivers from HP and using ndiswrapper.
This same thing happened to me. I inherited some money when my mom died, so a couple of months ago, I paid off my $7500 credit card balance, I mailed them a check for the full amount. About a week later, the payment still wasn't credited, so I called them and they said it takes 7 to 10 days for such a large check to clear. Yeah right. They told me to call back if it wasn't credited after 10 days. It wasn't, I called back again, they said if it wasn't credited after 14 days, call back again. It wasn't, I called back again. THIS time, I insisted they get a 3 way call with my bank to confirm the check had cleared. They credited my account during the phone call.
The exact same thing happened to me in regards to a $5000 payment I made to my credit card company (with an electronic payment). I was irate that a week after the payment showed as "paid" according to my bank (and my balance reduced accordingly) but there was no corresponding reduction on my credit card balance.
The CSRs kept telling me that the payment was on hold because it was such a large amount. I finally got a hold of a manager that called my bank directly (while I was on the line) to release the funds. Never once was I informed that all of this was the result of new DHS regulations.
If it's anything like SBC here in Texas they bill you something like $50-$60 per month for the service and then issue a credit to adjust the rate down to whatever rate you agreed to when you signed up. In my case, it works out to exactly the $24.95 + taxes that I signed up for.
I compiled the sources from http://debian.tu-bs.de/project/kanotix/unstable/ to create the.deb packages. After installation and configuration (nx user was added, local user was added to nx server allowed list, there are no ssh authentication problems), any attempts to connect via the nx client ultimately fail with no indication as to what went wrong.
The indentical setup works on my Mandriva box so this is really making me scratch my head as to what could be going on.
If you truly believe Unicode support is fundamentaly broken in some way then why not help the project out by filing a bug report with a specific example that demonstrates the problem?
You can only do so much with tweakui. Seemingly "clever" developers have apparently figured out ways to make their applications still come to focus regardless of that setting.
In most FPS games you typically respond with very small, quick mouse movements. The faster you poll the mouse the more accurate the mouse motion can be tracked which means less undershooting/overshooting your target intended target.
Most of the problems pointed out should never hit the database engine and if they do, you get what you deserve.
That is the typical "It's always the application's fault instead of MySql's fault for not properly enforcing rules to guarantee consistency of data" response I've come to expect from the hoardes of MySql apologists.
I'm only protecting a small network and I double-check the ban list periodically to make sure an ip address that was added was truly a zombie/being abusive.
I have a cron entry that runs a script to examine/var/log/http/access_log for any obviously abusive requests (requests that contain 0x90x90x90x90x90x90, system32, cmd.exe, etc) and adds the offending ip address to the firewall list. I do something similar for my ftpd and sshd services as well.
So basically my machine becomes invisible to the attacker and their ip address stays shitcanned forever.
The entirety of the VB6 runtime is a few.dll files that can either be dumped in your application directory or (more correctly) in your %systemroot%\system32 directory since you only need one copy.
Unless Longhorn throws out Win32 PE support entirely any given VB6 app is going to work just fine once the dll's are installed.
Exactly. Microsoft hasn't made a significant update (other than minor fixes in service packs) to Visual Basic in years so it isn't like officially ending support for it is going to be a big deal. It is a very mature product with an large developer base and has plenty of third party library/control support - it won't be going anywhere soon.
Then it would be impossible for documents created in OO to be read by Microsoft Office. Do you really think any sane business is going to throw away all their perfectly good copies of MS Office to embrace OpenOffice instead of introducing OO slowly into the workplace as an alternative to MS Office?
Lexmark is hardly a monopoly in the area of inkjet printers. However, I fully agree that they are intentionally abusing the DMCA in order to prevent competition from manufacturers of low cost ink cartridges.

I too greatly enjoyed playing Omega - much more so than Nethack.

Hopefully, we'll see better support in future.

The problem is that the recording industry will attribute the loss of sales to music piracy and not consumer backlash against invasive DRM.

I've already watched the movie. You'd only need a passing knowledge of the Babylon 5 series to get most of the jokes.

The demo runs quite nicely at 1024x768 on my P4-2.4c (overclocked to 2.8), 9800 Pro and 1 gig ram.
Reminds me a lot of HL2 in the way it performs actually.
In his defense, some banks will issue an "emergency" credit almost immediately for the amount in dispute and later take it back if needed.
My advice - Only use your credit cards online. Fraud on your checking account via debit card is usually far more painful than fraud on a credit card.

I'm not running SP2. Too many applications started acting bizarre after install it.
However, as I don't use IE as my primary browser and SP1 will be support by Microsoft for some time I don't feel compelled to upgrade to SP2.
