Google didn't fix the IE bug. The IE bug still exists. Only Microsoft can fix the IE bug. What Google did was put in a work around so that exploiting the IE bug won't cause a security risk in Google Desktop.
There's a good possibility of that; though in winter people in cold climates tend to have the heat on. If the heat vent is close to the power supply...
The problem seems more to do with air flow though. People putting the supply on a shag carpet or no doubt going to have more heat problems than people who place the supply on it's side up on a table. The supply probably should have used some extra heatsinks though.
Still I am curious as to the ratio of people having problems in warmer clients to those in colder climates.
If this is implemented in the PS3 and elsewhere, it would completely kill the game rental business. Gamefly.com would go out of business and places like Blockbuster would stop carrying games.
Also I assume that once the PS4 game out there would be no backwards compatibility since none of the discs would work anyway.
After installing The 0.5b Beta toolbar in Firefox 1.0.6, I noticed that when I tried to customize the toolbar's built in to Firefox that I could not click and drag items that were already in the toolbars. I could add items to the toolbar, but not move or remove them. Basically the toolbars never switch into customize mode; they stay in normal mode (where they can't be modified).
Disabling or removing the Yahoo toolbar fixed the problem.
My workplace doesn't have enough PC's to go around so we share computers. I always hate using the PC after someone who is coughing and sneezing into his hands in the midst of typing on the keyboard.
Time Warner and Comcast are both extremely large cable (and media) companies, but they do not compete with each other because they are based in different geographic locations. There most likely are non-competition agreements for areas where they are close by (for example NYC is TW while pretty much all of NJ is Comcast).
What will happen is that Adelphia areas that are near Comcast areas will become part of Comcast and Adelphia areas that are near Time Warner areas will become Time Warner. I'm pretty sure the amount of money Comcast pays will be based on how many areas Comcast gets and similarly how much Time Warner pays is based on how many areas Time Warner gets.
Both Time Warner and Comcast win from this since they each get what they once (more customers) and they don't have to spend cash to buy cable areas that aren't profitable to manage.
Actually part of the deal with Comcast is that Comcast will license TiVo's advertising software. So Comcast users might start seeing ads like this while watching TV some time next year.
To be fair to TiVo though, the ads showing up during programs are a bug which TiVo is working to fix.

In your case you should complain to DirectTV since they have complete control over what is or is not installed on DirectTV TiVo boxes. TiVo has no control in this case; they just license the software and hardware.
Don't expect them to upgrade the software though since they are dumping TiVo for their own box and one of the new features of their own box is something that is already in the 7.1 software. They want their box to be better than TiVo's so they won't be upgrading the TiVo boxes. They also won't be selling them after 2007.
I remember when UO was out people were using all kind of hacks such as the speed hack until they implemented server side checks.
So using the speed hack for example, if some took a step the server would have to send an acknowledgement back to the client that the move was accepted. There was a small buffer to compensate for lag. This worked well except when you bumped into a dymanic object during high periods of lag in which case you would see yourself walk through the object only to get "bounced back" because the server had denied your request to move.
Hacking the client to remove the check for the server response was pointless since the server kept your actual location so while you appeared to be one place on your client, the server had you somewhere else.
Since UO is over 8 years old and they solved the problem, how come current games still have this problem?
I can tell you now - I expect you won't be bothered.
The article mentions some improvements to our tagging capabilities. Nothing changes in terms of your ability to move through a show.
The 'billboards', or new tags, can be interactive, just as Ipreview tags are today. While they can be larger than today's tags, you can always see what's going on. Your fast forwarding skills will not require revision.
Ipreview tags have always displayed based on a 'tag' that is embedded into the broadcast signal, and this works the same way. No Pepsi billboards over Coke commercials. No spillovers into the program you're watching. It's all tied to tags built into, and timed to, the commercial being broadcast.
And to state what's become old hat to many here - the article was very loose with it's description of TiVo and your privacy. TiVo does not know how many times *you* specifically watched Janet Jackson. We absolutely respect your privacy. Everything that is collected is both anonymous and aggregate. We know how many people watched a show, but not specifically which subscribers. The last quote in the article (just like the headline) made for a good soundbite...but is grossly misleading.
I've toured the reactor, in addition to working there one summer, and it is a very fascinating technical achievement. Basically you have a large magnetic containment device (big donut) which contains a vacuum. The vacuum and the magnetic field keep the plasma from melting the containment device. Tritium (used to be deuterium) is placed inside and a huge amount of energy is pumped into the donut converting the gas inside to plasma with a temperature hotter than the interior of the sun allowing fusion to take place. Currently the amount of energy released is less than the energy needed to generate the fusion.
To give you an idea of how much energy is needed. The energy from the localpower company is used to get a bunch of giant dynamos spinning. To get the dynamos up to full rotational speed takes, IIRC, about 10 hours. All this stored energy is then released all at once.
The money comes from people who actually buy the products being peddled by spammers. If only a handful of people respond out of the millions of emails sent, the spammer turned a profit. Believe me if spamming wasn't profitable people wouldn't do it.
If we could only get these few people to stop buying spam products, spam would all but disappear.

The IE bug can still affect other software.
I meant to say "long" not "large". Still it looks like it needs to be stood on its side to get good air flow.
There's a good possibility of that; though in winter people in cold climates tend to have the heat on. If the heat vent is close to the power supply...

The power supply for the XBox 360 is almost as large as the XBox 360 itself. Maybe the power supply should be stood on its side, but I doubt people are considering that when they go to use the XBox 360.
So go ahead and string up those power supplies. Just make sure you don't put them on your tree as it might catch fire.
It's obviously a time travel experiment.
4 Gigawatts is enough to power 3 DeLoreans with power to spare.

I guess that's why they call it a beta.

I agree. I hardly ever get spam in my Inbox with Yahoo Mail. I maybe get one or two spams a month. Yahoo catches the rest in their bulk folder.
And the throw away email addresses that premium users get can't be beat.
I for one welcome our new robot dinosaur masters.
So when do we start seeing mod chips for TVs?

TiVo allows you to fast forward through commercials but it doesn't remove them.
The US already has at least one of these already.
