If this is true it should be easier to show prior art in one way. (not sure if this will qualify) I would almost garrentee that in every project there was a point where they had a touch screen working as long as you did not move it to some where else. (they would not ship that way but probably had that problem in test at one point)
MS says support will continue but that leaves two potential problmes relates to what you do when the machines in your company die and need replacement.
1) After December XP not available for sale (volumne license folks may be exempt) 2) Drivers for the new hardware you buy may not work on anything prior to vista.
(some companies have migrated some machine from 2000 to xp because of these reasons.
Octane is one of the chemicals which make up traditional gasoline.
Higher octane gasoline has a slightly lower energy content. It is needed in high performance cars as it burns in a more controled maner.
Pure alcohol fuels do not have any octane by definition. They are rated with an octane rating that is related to the ability to burn in an internal combustion engine without having preignition problems(knocking/pinging).
Current gasoline does not have the amount of octane the "label" would seem to indicate. Oil does not have the ideal mixture of octane in it to work in many engines. This is handled by adding "octane boosters" to the gasoline. A popular chemical to do this contained lead. These leaded gasolines have been phased out due to enviromental concerns.
Lots of ISPs give people CD's to install before connecting to the web. You get things like (Internet explorer provided by xxx) in IE's title bar.
I tell home users to loose these CD's but they seem to think there is some magic in them. They will even install them after I leave. "Yes, I know everything was working when you left, but the CD said to load it"
I am really tempted some times to steal them. There has been a couple of cases where the install CDs have broken things.
If they messed with my cert setup in order to get on the network, what whould happen when I hooked my laptop up to a different network at a hotel or at work?
This type of monkey business would be fun to sneek past a linux box. As I use ssh to connect to my webserver that would be fun for them as well.
It has been my exerience that most printers which do not have Vista support from MS can be faked around. Pick a similar printer that is supported and you may be good to go. What is the model # of your old printer?
When hunting with bone spears and other prinitive tools the number of whales you inflict fatal wounds on without actually getting the meat home is much greater.
The "modern" tools make it much more likely that if you hit the whale you get it and it counts against your quota. The ones that get away and die 24 hours later would not be counted.
Real time is the KEY here. They promise to block and not to just detect.
Sure, you can detect ssh, etc, known protocals and block them.
But if today the server encripted an MP3 file with rot13 no computer would automatically detect it as an mp3. And tomarow they just do it different. Tomarrow they make a jpg out of it. Change the extention and Bob's your uncle.
An application is written that everytime it starts it downloads a plugin with todays encription standard. There is no way they could even think of keeping up without breaking things for there customers on a daily basis.
Many large cities have these things called mountians and tall buildings in the middle.
If this was a serious problem they would at least have signs telling us not to use our cell phones in high places. Even if they could not enforce it it would help.
add these to products to use to encode if recycleable. like the triagles on the botoom of plastics. gives you a valid reason to do RFID scans of all trash
However what I think this means is the following for three years
must meet with his probation office once a week may have to take a drug test on a regular basis (even if has never taken drugs) gets his finger prints on record and the conviction. aggrees not to use the internet for other than business purposes. community service....
The probation officer has the right to inspect the browser cache and files on any computer he has access to.
The bigest deal is that if he does something nasty on the internet he gets real prison time. (in theory)
Oh and the ban from the internet is for a time period that was not disclosed to the press. I would be quite shocked if it was not disclosed to him or if it ran longer than three years. And I am sure they mean volentary personal use of the web and email and he can probably get permission from his officer to do specific things on the web if needed like change his address with the DMV....
I think the sentence is fair based on the idea that he release the expliot before warning myspace.
I took a training class after leaving a company and was reimbursed for the costs.
Special deal and I later returned the favor. But it did happen.
In general if you schedule someone for a class where they have to up front the money for the class, the company should eat the costs if the relationship end at no fault of the employee
The only way this can be legal anywhere in the US is if you got some sort of advance upfront or if there was a contract between companies. They can sue a company for not fullfilling a contract (and the company dies but not you) or they can try and get back a signing bonus from you.
Anything else is slavery in the US and is against the law. If it was NOT against the law, everyone would do it.

Sorry, I could not resist
This post was not intended to make fun of any religion. only to amuse and perhaps poke fun at the English language. I did not intend to offend.

Listen to the audio at about 13 minutes in. The wanted to abolish the common carrier provision and require ISP's to filter content.
AT&T has announced that they are going to filter anyway!
Just look for the guy with that address!
It most do a trace route/phone home or somthing to actually get a useful address
Weather satellites, this tech alone has paid for the NASA programs.
If you literally run into other cars all of the time I would not want to pay for you repair bills. ;-)

Of course, YMMV
Not all of the code was written from scratch. To prove this in a obvious way on any Vista machine do the following.
In the control panel clasic view open Fonts. Hit the alt key to show the menus. Select File => Install New Font...
Notice the style of the dialog box. This is the old 3.11 dialog box style. Notice the drive selection method. Hey, it still works.
Compare this to the dialog box used to select a file in notepad.

Really. What country has sane gun laws? Japan? Australia?
I am not saying US gun laws make sense 100% but in this case I think they can not be blamed.

We gave my mother in law a portable DVD player.
The one we bought takes CDs with pictures on them and also takes SD cards
It will run them as a slide show, I assume that will work
You have to be a little carefull how you format things and send the photos to her but it does work and requires no subscription.
Lack of evidence in a high profile case is what planted evidence is for.
and look at the paid adds on the right. The RIAA did it, why can't we?
Thats one way of making sure you do not have to pay child support.
Just send your sample to a lab that takes millions of years to process your paternity test.

I had HP tell me that if I installed the 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro, I might violate the waranty. Go figure.
Last time I checked it did not run on most Vista computers. Should be available Real Soon Now.

dust everyone in the area.
scan at trash pickup
not 100% but good enough for governmant work
IANAL and I have never been on probation.
