Microsoft did include a workaround in Windows XP Service Pack 2 that lets users change an internal Windows setting to prevent data from being written to USB devices. But the features planned for Longhorn will be more comprehensive.
If you click on the "Products" tab, you'll see the link for Camino. I'm assuming they've decided to include the big three products on the main page and relegate the lesser requested ones (like Camino & Bugzilla) to the Products tab to lessen confusion for newcomers.
Just out of curiosity, what does Camino give you that Firefox doesn't?
There's lots of things I don't want to happen, yet for some reason most of those things are legal.
Great, what does that have to do with anything?
If the right can have an abortion doctor hit list,
WTF are you talking about??? A hit list is legal now? You're outta your fucking mind if you believe that, almost as much as the pieces of shit who would make up such a hit list.
why can't we know who is going to the RNC convention to possible pick our next president.
BECAUSE, YOU STUPID FUCKING JACKASS, IT IS NOT YOUR CANDIDATE. It's the GOP's candidate. You don't really need to worry about how or why they chose that person, just why they may or may not be the right person for the job. Not to mention that you and I already know. It's called a primary. The convention is a dog-and-pony anymore and that's no secret.
The only reason for this list is to harass these people. Which is very pathetic. Even more pathetic, though, is all the jackasses here on/. trying to defend them, including you.
Do I have a right to know who I'm talking to? If you think so, please post from a logged in account and include as much personal info as possible in your sig.
Should the quieter group sabotage the louder group's PA system? What about throwing things to get attention? How about just plain old kicking the louder group's ass to quiet them down?
Sorry, but these are not expressions of free speech or respecting the opinions of others - just acting like a jackass towards those you disagree with.
is wrong with you??? This is not the Republicans doing this crap. It's probably not even Democrats so much as Bush-haters.
You're obviously one of them - you're so deep in your own cognitive dissonance that your response to this idiocy is to say, "what if the exact opposite happened" and then blame the Republicans anyway. Grow up. You're not helping your cause.
Resident Evil is the only movie based on a video game that you listed. The rest:
Lord of the Rings: Novels E.T.: Original script Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Comic book Terminator: No clue, assumed it was an original script. Matrix: Original script Harry Potter: Novels
Note: When I say "Original script," I'm referring to them not being based on a sole external source. So if you have some rant about how The Matrix wasn't all that original - don't bother.
Our CT scanner gets about 70 Hi-hi-hi-res images for a small scan. When I say Hi-Res, I don't mean 1024x768, I mean like 10,000x7,000. Seventy of those is gonna take a lot of power to switch through quickly and a very high speed network to transfer reliably.
What part of:
Yes, you may have a lot of data. Yes, you may have high horsepower needs. Yes it may be mission-critical.
did you not understand? SHOULD... I... TYPE... BIGGER... AND... SLOWER... OR... SOMETHING... ?
I'm not trying to debate what hospitals are stupid enough to buy. I'm debating the best tool for the job. I could give a rat-ass if it's Linux or Unix or some embedded OS. I'm saying that there is no logical technical reason to use Windows for this purpose.
Wow, I guess your full name is Kikta? Strange name. Whether he calls himself "Anonymous Coward" or "Big Billy Ray Buttfuck," he would be hiding behind an alias, just like you. How about YOU post as yourself and give us your full name, address, phone number, social security number... Grow a pair and post that if you are so sure of your position (which I doubt).
Woah - slow down, Asshole. I already stated that I do not know much about medicine or medical applications. What I do know about is computers. And I know what I posted above is true. There is no technical reason that would require or even favor Windows in this case.
Since I don't know about medical applications, I have no idea if an AC is blowing sunshine up my tailpipe when he makes a claim w.r.t. medical stuff. So I'd like to look at his posting history and see if he's spoken intelligently about this subject before. I'll check his website and see if he indicates something there that would validate his claimed background.
I know enough about most technology-related fields to call bullshit or not without looking at who's posting. But when it's an area that I'm less familar with, I'd like to be able to do a little bit of homework. I take the normal/.'ers word with a grain of salt, but with an AC, the grain gets almost too big to swallow.
And, incidentally, you can find out my full name, address, and phone number in exactly two steps with the information I've provided.
I work in a situation where life and death is the difference between 20 frames per second of rendered four-dimensional (time is a dimension, thanks) medical images, and 30 frames per second.
I work with a system where 4 GB of RAM isn't enough, and a 256 MB video card barely chugs along
Ok, so you're saying that top-of-line consumer hardware isn't enough... but yet you want to use Windows? And you're making it sound like you have workhorse systems that an emergency room relies on, shit, is practically built around... but it's stuff that's only very recently become availible.
This just doesn't smell right. Yes, you may have a lot of data. Yes, you may have high horsepower needs. Yes it may be mission-critical.
But it has to run on Windows?
Gimme a fucking break. That makes no sense. Anything other than Windows XP or Server 2003 probably can't even use all that hardware effectively. And it sure as fuck doesn't provide the kinda uptime you're raving about here.
Not to mention posting AC is a sure way to peg anyone's bullshit meter. Grow a pair & post as yourself if you're telling the truth (which I doubt). This whole thing just smells bad.
WOW!!! you mean my u1tr4-l337 1iNuX-h4x0r b0x can get viruses too???
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, PEOPLE!!! it's posible to write malicious code for a platform other than windoze!!! WE ARE ALL FUCKED!!!
And here I was going to walk around thinking Linux was absolutely perfect today. But, you have saved me. Fuck - joking is dangerous stuff!
P.S. "How well can that software work when there aren't any Linux viruses in the wild for the author(s) to provide protection against?" is one of the stupidest arguments I've heard in awhile.
I'm confused. Are you complaining about doing things in a UNIX-like way, or about FHS?
I agree that Joe Sixpack would run screaming from figuring out FHS, but that doesn't mean that we need to get rid of concepts like pipes, using text for inter-process communication, and treating everything as a file. I think these are things that programmers enjoy and, simultaneously, thing that Joe doesn't ever need to know or care about.
I'm honestly curious, are you saying we should hide the UNIX-ness (ala OS X) or dump it altogether?

Reading is fun.
and - shockingly! - it was a joke.
"You two! Fight to the death!"
Ok, no fair! Anyone besides Alan Cox.

Mozilla.org has been looking at your user agent for quite a while to determine which OS you are using and offer you the appropriate download.
If you use Windows or a Mac, you'll get offered the downloads for those initially instead.
I've always been under the impression that emacs is a cult... ;-)

What's your home address and phone number?
I'm sure that info is publicly availible, too. Doesn't mean you want it highlighted to a bunch of people who may have reason not to like you.
Well, aren't you just super cool? Ya know, if you remove the word "Update" it becomes even more accurate.
Damn... that's impressive.
That's an interesting comparison you make, IT's tan on white versus games's purple rain.
The former makes you go blind and the latter makes you wish you were blind...

Thank you for the pointers. I'll look into this some more. Sounds like very interesting stuff. :-)

Stick that in you pipe & smoke it.
Dude, you have no idea what an unverified binary does. You don't. Period. End of story.
I'm all for cutting through bullshit, but don't provide your own. Go read a book or take a class on basic security before you spout off.

Easy? Yes. Remember? I dunno:Don't see anything that jumps out at me as especially rememberable.
