XP was not designed for 64bit, xp64 is a comprimise at best
Windows XP x64 isn't XP at all. It's server 2003 with the XP GUI. XP x64's greatest compromise comes from WOW64 and Itanium. A compromise that Vista shares as well. In order to manage compatibility with legacy applications being recompiled on 64-bit Windows Itanium systems with hard coded filenames WOW64 does some nasty remapping hacks of c:\windows\system32 wherein 32 bit apps see c:\windows\syswow64 as c:\windows\system32 and 64 bit apps see the actual contents of c:\windows\system32. Resulting in a case where 32 bit applications see a different set of data from 64 bit apps, and this will continue to exist as long as microsoft values backwards compatibility to an extreme (IE I fully expect the same behavior out of windows 7.)
You want a real solution to the problem? Require that a breathalyzer be standard equipment on all cars in the US. Oh wait, that would take away your martyrdom wouldn't it? Take your sob story and shove it up your ass, I want no part of your Police state.
The flaw in that is that still only encourages the responsible drinkers to be responsible. It does nothing for the irresponsible drinkers as they just get someone else to blow in the breathalyzer.
That's typical for all swearing ins for the government, even the military guys have that on their swearing in. But its optional. I swore in twice and both times they told me it was optional.
My big problem with vista is it likes to cache stuff. Accidentally try to access a network drive before the wireless is up? Vista's happy to cache the negative response and not let you access that drive even after the network is up. Though it seems to have improved some with recent patches. It use to not want to work unless I rebooted, now going into my computer and double clicking the drive seems to open it up fine.
And as stupid as tort law seems when someone say, throws a wiimote into a television screen and blames Nintendo, there's an easy precaution. Nintendo could have put some clear warnings along with the wiimotes, something like "be careful not to let these fly out of your hands and break the tv, window, mirrors, or your commemorative plate collection."
You obviously don't own a Wii. Every game I've played has a goofy little screen that comes up when you start the game with a picture of a guy whacking his tv and the person behind him with the wiimote and a warning saying not to let the thing come out of your hand.
I'm not quite ready to support decriminalizing cocaine, and I am strongly opposed to legalizing methamphetamine.
Bad news meth is legal (well as legal as adderall.) It's a prescribable substance. That's effectively legal. You just can't buy it at your local grocery store without a script (and I don't believe any would have it in stock given the stigma and the fact that it's rarely prescribed.)

Actually in the Army you can get a degree from most normal colleges while deployed as well. Theres a college exchange program where you can take classes at any approved college (including some classes taught by the army itself both online and offline) and receive your degree at the participating college of your choice (and they do have a good selection of participating colleges.)
not that this is on topic at all but I have karma to burn.
McCain may be old but he won't be having a heart attack as soon as he gets into office. If he was going to have one, hes under enough pressure just campaigning. Same goes for Obama. It's not like they're going to decrease the security he gets when he gets into office. He will be just as protected as he is now if not more so. No matter who gets elected, it is very unlikely that their VP will take over. It is good to evaluate the VP with the pres because they will reflect the values of their running mate as well. But don't assume that they will be in charge if their running mate gets elected. Your negative pessimistic attitude just reinforces itself in others and further erodes confidence in the United States of America. Secret Service won't let Obama get assassinated and McCain is not in such terrible health that he is going to have a heart attack the day he gets into office. We will probably have seen more time with Cheney in charge of the country in the end than either Palin or Biden will spend in charge.
They have actually jailed people arrested for marijuana for advocating marijuana legalisation because it is advocating an illegal activity. Needless to say it didn't stand up on appeal.
Reasonable ruling from the court. Advocating marijuana legalization is not advocating marijuana use. People advocating using marijuana should be jailed however. If you want to use marijuana try to get it legalized, don't encourage people to perform an illegal act and potentially ruin their own lives just so you can cut out the step of going through the proper channels.
You don't need a degree to get enlisted at E-3 rather than E-1. A degree easily helps you get a commission. When I was at meps (swearing in at E-3 rather than E-1 with no baccalaureate degree's) every time I mentioned my ex having two baccalaureate degrees they would all start salivating and then tell me I should try to convince her to join as an officer.
Strange, who'd you tell. I told them I wanted to join cyber command and they kept calling me over and over asking me to come in and take the computer aptitude test. I'd think a comp sci professor would have no trouble catching their interest.
what do you do on long trips, or when you park your car in the shade? sounds like a real pain in the ass to me
Not to mention reduced fuel economy. Your alternator produces very little load unless there is a large demand on the system and during that time you need the alternator or your voltage will drop reducing the amount of spark your car sees.
Now all we need is to get enough nuclear fissible material into the core of mars to start back up its protective magnetic field to keep any atmosphere we might create there from being stripped away.

I thought it had died off with windows mobile for the sh series being killed, cool to hear its still alive.

IIRC Amateur radio frequency allocations are closer to channel 1. (This according to my former neighbor who is an amateur radio operator.)
use mac-based filtering, and disable SSID broadcast.
Yes make it as difficult for yourself to use it as possible while doing nothing to keep hackers out. brilliant!

The issue isnt dns cacheing, its cacheing the inability to access the server, the drive is mapped by ip not dns in this instance.

something like that.

I think the problem may be that your joke just wasnt funny.
Yeah. You can buy a gun when you're 16
What? You have to be 18 here in Louisiana to buy a gun and even then you can only buy a hunting rifle, no handguns till you're 21.
The web is about community. There are many other people who may not have heard about firefox, adblock and noscript, maybe he is concerned for them?
I dunno about you, but I'm green on the inside.
