FWIW it's extremely customizable. You can put the menu bar back, and bookmark bar, and put the tabs back on the bottom of the bar. Also (as of the current plan...) it doesn't change your prefs, it keeps your pre-upgrade prefs on these things (except maybe the menu bar, since tbh menu bars are useless on a browser)
When Gears of War's PC port was first released, it was: 1) buggy 2) crashy 3) released A YEAR LATER than the xbox version The crashy part was fixed, iirc about 2 months after release by a patch. As you can imagine, the sales for this port were a little slow. Video game companies being video game companies chalked this up to piracy. To them the fact that the game was a shitty port released a full year after the original with dated graphics and all couldn't have POSSIBLY been a reason.
When time comes around to release Gears of War 2 - cliffyB says there's no plans for a port because the first one was just pirated too much...
The RTM of windows 7 has been out for 2 months now? 3 by the street date of Oct 22nd. This time is of course used for manufacturing, marketing, etc. Meanwhile they should be offering fully updated ISOs directly on the windows site for everyone and anyone to download - the OS itself contains its own validation so there's no harm in letting anyone download it. Then you buy your key digitally with a steam-like system, this would even benefit Microsoft by serving as a key registration system.
Thermal conductivity of the concrete isn't that important, he has more than enough surface area on his copper pipe to spread the relatively small bit of heat from a computer that it should be able to transfer it to the concrete, no matter how inefficently.
Extremely difficult, but it is purely a matter of technical skill. The intent when photographing a painting (in this manner at least) is to capture the original as perfectly as possible, and to NOT add any artistic variation. It takes skill yes, but a display of skill is not by itself art. There was a Star Trek episode about this very thing when Data was painting, or playing music - while I don't recall the details of the episode(s) I do recall there was some implication that he had a perfect technical skill, but lacked artistic ability. It takes a lot of mathematical skill to solve certain equations, but I wouldn't call the solution art even if it was the solution to a Millennium Prize problem.
That depends on the reader being at or near the geographical location of the painting. When reading an article about the Mona Lisa on Wikipedia, I expect to see a photo of the article in question for purpose of discussion, not "to see this painting, please visit the Louvre in France" I'd simply go elsewhere to find a picture.
I wasn't too sure whether to mod you up (anyone advocating safe driving certainly should be heard) or reply with a disagreement..
1) Perhaps the bycyclists should start footing that bill? How about bike registration and insurance if you have >13" wheels and ride on any public bike lane. The insurance would be some $20/year anyways, it's not like there's much potential public liability.
2) while I advocate better and safer driving, if a road is 45 around a bend, I go 45 (I interpret 45 around a corner as being a bend in the road, not a literal street on to avenue corner). No slower, no faster, everyone going the same speed is the safest possible condition, whatever that speed may be.
The 'dimming the desktop' isn't just to catch the users attention. When a UAC prompt comes up it does so on the secure desktop, where mouse and keyboard can not be manipulated by a program. For example, when using synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ I was unable to interact with the UAC prompt without using the local keyboard/mouse.
To my knowledge, it's not adhering the tiles that's so difficult, it's the fact that the tiles are very fragile, and tend to break chunks off themselves (likely leaving the adhesive behind)
That makes me wonder if this software would be capable of identifying people as the age sortof. If it has enough data it could find a progressive path from one age to another, and you could find pics of yourself all over the place.
"threading" is not the solution. There are certain things, like out-of-process plugins that would help that issue (which they are working on for Mozilla 2(which will be used in FF4) One of the devs (Brendan iirc?) put it best that threading is a band-aid fix, rather that wrapping everything in threads (which would require making it all thread-safe, a huge perf hit) you should be fixing the cause of the slowdowns.
They are planning to run plugins out-of-process for security and stability purposes, but there are a few bugs related to threads an processes all containing good reasons against it, and very few for it. Please tread lightly on these bugs, and don't bugspam the wontfix:)
I recall reading that Vista SP1 and XP SP3 would be out around this time ('in about a year') before vista was even RTM. Also, if they're really 'rushing' this update, I don't see how it would be in their best interests to keep it out of our hands until march.
I don't see how WINDOWS is responsible for the inadequacies of programmers that don't seem to know how to write their way out of a paper bag. There is no NEED for any program to place things in the windows or system32 folders, in fact it's discouraged by Microsoft. Having essentially moving an entire installed config from one install to a clean one a few times there's nothing at all wrong with moving the HKEY_CURRENT_USER (it's what happens when you use roaming profiles after all) and anything local machine related to software is HKLM\Software.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "sprawled out across everything" Applications are in \Program Files\ User profile including the HKEY_LOCAL_USER registry hive is in \Documents and Settings\username (xp) or \Users\username (vista) The rest of the registry is in \windows\system32\config This was designed to be portable this way entirey for the purpose of roaming profiles in domains That's hardly 'sprawled out'
I find that at least 80% of programs short of special stuff (like nero or alcohol) you can just copy the program directory. All other files will be created as-needed. If you actually want to copy your user configs there's \Documents and Settings\username\application data and \Documents and Settings\username\Local settings which they've greatly improved the folder layout of in vista to \Users\username\AppData (which contains both roaming and local settings folders) The registry has been used less of late, but is still used sometimes for cd keys and such crap, so fishing the data out of the HKLM\Software and HKCU\Software is still needed too
Not really, both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray both use AACS. There may not be a compromised Blu-Ray drive (yet) but this will allow people to discover weaknesses in AACS itself, just like it was discovered afterwards that the CSS key on DVDs could easily have been brute forced within 24 hours.
I am one of those people still forced onto dialup. Normally the fact alone that I have a $10 modem would be limiting, but I have one of the miraculous few soft-modems that is actually halfass supported under Linux. If I didn't, I certainly wouldn't go out and buy a $100 modem just to use a free OS.
I can stand downloading the odd 1mb update, with linux it seems that every other day there's a good 10MB of updates, I just don't have an hour to waste my bandwidth updating my OS every day.

I assume you know very little about recovering XP.
There's a completely automated repair install process that does exactly as you describe.

Go into about:config (just type it into the address bar) and change Keyword.URL to http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=
Now it searches google instead of the "I'm feeling lucky" search.
If it's not there for some reason just right-click new>string and add it.

It IS smaller, faster, and less frequent.
