this is what happens when you have a company trying to write solid, stable net code for an operating system that isn't solid or stable.
Microsoft's TCP/IP stack is untested, unproven, and untrusted.
any IT manager who puts the vista stack on his network should be fired for being a tool.
you have to ask, what's wrong with the BSD stack that's been working great for 20 years? obviously microsoft screwed it up in every version of windows that used it.
The same implementation running under Linux just runs better, providing better throughput with less cpu overhead.
Microsoft has forced Vista users to use the "Games for Windows Live" system. This is a "service" which forces users to pay a monthly subcription fee just like Xbox Live. Microsoft is also making sure that some of the newest DX10 and even DX9 games are only "Games for Windows".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but does anyone actually want this service? this is something that used to be free. Now microsoft wants gamers to pay for something that uhh, used to be free. This is why gamers won't switch. This, and the piss-poor untested TCP/IP stack in vista.
This only makes me wonder more why mainstream publishers aren't going after Linux more. Thank you ID Software for doing the right thing.
what about cordless phones? bluetooth? PLL peripherals? television? terrestrial radio? government radio? solar flares? gamma ray bursts from the depths of space?
If this is the situation, the MPAA's officers should be charged with obstruction of justice. The obstruction here, is polluting the system with false criminal investigations.
not that long ago, copyright law wasn't so cloudy.
now, your congressmen and mine, have been bought and paid for like cheap whores to write laws that protect the revenues of massive corporations.
this is the exact opposite of the intention of copyright.
Write your congressmen and women. demand they re-write the laws with their real constituents in mind.
I was doing support, bench work for a small company. A small.com startup had just finished a six month site re-design. Their top developer was relocating to New Jersey. They wanted me to ghost their drive. They handed me another drive which wasn't empty. I didn't bother to wipe the new drive before the ghost. The classic newbie mistake. I started a ghost on the drive, the wrong drive. When I realized what had happened, I said, "it's ok, where are your backups?" The developer went outside and threw up!
they had to pay for data recovery, luckily because they signed the liability release. data recovery was able to recover his buju banton mp3s just fine!
I've already been approached by someone (previously convicted of fraud) who wanted to start a website business and inflate the traffic numbers with bots so he could sell the company on IPO. He's done it before with non-Internet companies. I refused to help him with the Linux-based bot software. It's an actual product. It's purpose is only to create artificially high visits.
It's fraud. It's against the computer fraud and abuse act.

and put some realtree camo on it!
Tvashtar? is that its Vulcan name?
What do we call it in English?

they used telescopes to form a fibre link.
they didn't teleport anything.
they used a giant remote control.
is that people will trade music like baseball cards. They do this as a way to share their culture.
It's normal human behavior.
The music industry has tried to protect their product like it's a product.
it's not really a product. it's culture.
Totally agreed.
and microsoft should also be investigated for doing the same thing with their "starter editions" of windows.
They sell the same product for less money in other parts of the world.
why shouldn't we be able to purchase them? in a free market society, we would be able to do just that.
Lest we forget petrol stations in America and their "zone" pricing scam.
Brilliant world.
He demanded that the debates he was in be released under a Creative Commons license.
The man is incapable of making intelligent decisions about anything.
Someone should just take away his license.
He actually sued the Florida Bar Association for trying to take away his license.
This guy is a grade A moron.
MMORPG games are as boring as they come.
most other games are just as boring.
WiFi tech is moving forward much faster than municipalities move.
by the time they got 802.11 a/b rolled out, 802.11 a/b/g/n is out.
they were just too slow.
why should I pay for 11Mbit/s when I can get more than 100Mbit/s
they probably have 5 or 6 minor patents.
they can't really sue for Linux distros because the judges are already wise to this kind of tactic.
what about cordless phones?
bluetooth?
PLL peripherals?
television?
terrestrial radio?
government radio?
solar flares?
gamma ray bursts from the depths of space?
Terrestrial radio is going to fight.
what separates them from satellite or Internet radio?
are they better? or special?
apparently not!
lars ulrich sucks pirate wang!
wait for the hackers.
since everyone else is too much of a coward to sue microsoft and HBO.
especially since our congress are industry whores.
The friggin keyboards on the space shuttle don't cost that much!
then again, the space shuttle doesn't have bitchin cool oled keyboards!

like dropping a fuel-air bomb in to the eye of a hurricane?
I was thinking more like something frozen

.com went bust shortly after :(

This sort of device will not be tolerated by me or my species.
I firmly believe that advertisers should be put on a secluded island so they can fight to the death.
hopefully speakeasy will offer 100Mbit fiber in my area.
This is so completely overdue.
I love the Internet so much I was planning on moving to europe to get fast access.
Bellsouth/AT&T can no longer call their 256K product "fast access".
