"Apple does not feel this is a issue they want to tackle at this time. In my most recent email to Apple, I suggested that they incorporate an option in Safari so the browser can be configured to ask the user before anything is downloaded to the local file system. Apple agreed it was a good suggestion:...the ability to have a preference to "Ask me before downloading anything" is a good suggestion. We can file that as an enhancement request for the Safari team. Please note that we are not treating this as a security issue, but a further measure to raise the bar against unwanted downloads. This will require a review with the Human Interface team. We want to set your expectations that this could take quite a while, if it ever gets incorporated.

I apologize - I should have not used the term "quote mining" instead I should have said something like 'selective use of the linked article in a deliberate attempt to give your audience a distorted view of the subject at hand"
Is that better?
Quote mining for the win!
"In the C-blox world, a truck drops off a data center container and then picks it up again in a few years when Microsoft is ready to switch over to new hardware. Administrators will only enter the physical C-blox in the rarest of occasions. "In that sense, your IT workers look more like truckers and longshoremen than traditional IT workers," Manos said. It will also allow Microsoft to run the entire Northlake facility with a continuous staff of little more than 20 or 30 employees."

The United States No Electronic Theft Act (NET Act), a federal law passed in 1997, provides for criminal prosecution of individuals who engage in copyright infringement, even when there is no monetary profit or commercial benefit from the infringement. Maximum penalties can be five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. The NET Act also raised statutory damages by 50%.
1a: I bet you are unable to support that statement with facts.
1b: I can copy files (media) between two drives at the full speed of the drive.
2: If you click no the action doesn't happen.
Perhaps - but the Nintendo version will only work at NTSC resolutions and most of the advertisements for the product will avoid showing details of the actual product instead using cheap camera tricks to distract the viewer.
But I could be wrong.

Wouldn't shadow copies under Vista (Ultimate/Business) allow one to revert the changes?

So it is now trolling to point out that someone is paint a deliberately false picture?

And yours would be a valid argument if I had suggest that Rev3 be prosecuted.

I assume that you are also in favor of federal criminal investigations of those who are breaking the applicable federal copyright laws?
This isn't digg or reddit - behave yourself.

Just deleted an icon from my desktop and did not get an UAC prompt...
What troubles did Vista cause you?
Not being a newegg employee I wasn't able to get an employee discount when I bought it.
I purchased it and I do not regret it one bit.
Never thought I would see the day when PC Magazine was help up to be a reliable source of information on /.

140,000,000 sold copies and 5-15 times the desktop share of Linux isn't "businesses rejecting Vista in droves.
How do proprietary licenses victimize others?
If you are not making your work publicly available why use the GPL?
Just tired that on Excel 2007 - it imported correctly. The three fields all imported correctly.
I have multiple hundreds of gigibytes of video files on my computer (some in HD). What does Vista stop me from doing with those files?
Because then they would be violating anti-trust laws.
What am I doing wrong because, hard as I try, I am unable to get my Vista box to crash. Please let me know what I have to do to get it to crash.

True. Just look at how many of the DailyKOS posters have been jailed or executed for speaking out against the government. FYI that number is 0 (ZERO)
