I bet they are talking about running Vista in a testing enviroment, so they can roll them out near release date (say 9 months after) as opposed to the normal government roll out of say 3 years later.
Well, the whole thing turns on the fact that RIM used smoke and mirrors on a software demo in the trail and basically lied to the judge. The Patents were being overturned becuase the federal government was putting pressure on the Patent Office to make the case 'go away.' Also the rulings on the Patents could be appealed in the patent office and then into federal courts.
I am able to run Level 3 on my Dell Inspiron 9200 with no PCIx. I have an ATI 9700 Moblity in it. I have 1 gb ram. I experience NO problems at all. It sounds like your system will scream under Vista. But then again, I'm not up on the latest numbering scheme for Nvidia.
If you support the latest version DirectX 9, you are In. Welcome to the new 3D operating system.
Oh, no doubt, but really when was the last time you needed 4ghz monster to do email, write word documents, and surf the web. Or any other task outside of blowing up Nazi's (Wolfenstine or Day of Defeat), Killing Dragons (WoW), Car Jacking (GTA whatever). Most people will just need a video card upgrade, and that's it.
While I understand what you are saying the company I work for is still buying Dell GX240's and 260's. So we are out of luck. Those of us in the IT department supporting external facing applications will need to upgrade inorder to perform the develope - UT - ST - UAT cycles. So, I will either need a new computer or need a new video card. And I will need it on the day that Vista goes live. We shall see what happens.
Aero isn't a big deal, what is, is the new Windows Presenetation Foundation. This new API will replace GDI and all its descendents. Basically it makes DirectX the principal GUI for the OS. That means all sorts of things are now going to be possible.
A couple things I've seen already with the Betas. Triple buffering (no more lagging when one process in one window slows down, the other keep right on going. Games have had this for years). Resolution independent display (the screen looks the same with a 320 x 200 or a 1920 x 1200. So the application designers no longer have to worry about if the interface will display on a given screen) Vector Based GUI. This is related to the past advantage, but it basically means that everything is a object covered with a layer (Video, JPG, GIF, Applicaiton output) in 3D space.
Basically this means that World of Warcraft (replace with whatever game you wish) can be in one window with a Video (Television, iTunes, MPEG) in another window and a Webpage up in another window. Each application only needs to think it has the full screen, when in reality it just has a section of the window, and a seperate process can be attached to each of those windows.
So for example the task switcher. You Alt Tab. As you alt tab your UBRS run in WoW still goes on in the mini-window, and all events can still work in it when it's active (You can click on the attack button in the Alt Tab View). The webpage is still up and loading and operating even though it's only a portion of the screen. And finally your Video doesn't stop playing when you alt tab at all. Everything keeps right on working. Now can think of a couple cool things other than Alt-Tab that I'd like to do with an applicaiton like this.
For all the above a nice big video card will be required.
Oh, I understand what you say, but I've been told a hundred times when prepping a Powerpoint presentation or designing a website for the PHB. "Cartoon, think cartoon, the big wigs think in neat small pictures, not it row upon row of numbers or statements. Think Sound Bites, think pithy statements." And a new interface will have 'cool' rounded effects on the chart, cool drop shadows and reflections. I can see a point 2 years from now where it will be required when presenting stuff to senior management that it will have to be using 'Aero'.
This is just a way to get large coroprations to spring for the $500 video card on their desktops. No really, this is just like Windows pushing everything to 24 bit color when everyone was doing 8bit. Within a year or so EVERONE was at 24bit. Well, almost everyone, but you get the idea.
Is that the sound of an Axe Gringing. WHO CARES. If Blizzard wants to ban all lesbian left-handed albino midget Eskimo, then let them. It's their game. Move along, log off, and if Not. LvL 60 Mage LFG UBRS.
I think the most important thing to remeber about Large Companies is that most large companies are old companies.
Most Old Companies are very slow. They are slow becuase they have learned a lot of very painful lessons over the many years. They purposfully slow things down to insure that all the old lessons and painful experiences are taken into account.
The way this is done is through paperwork, meetings, agreements, etc... Think of it as the company is protecting itself from the stupid decisions of the past.
Is there an easier way to check for injections on rendering of the data rather than on saving of the data?
Actually no, you want to check on input, and when you move between tiers. Something that is valid in the client, might be a problem in the application tier or the data tier. And as someone someplace else stated, never trust input. So your database would validate the information before its stored, your application would check the data (from the client and from the database) when it is passed into that tier. Of course when you pass stuff up into the client tier, you should mistrust that as well.
As we move more towards applications that depend on the JavaScript enabled client (AJAX and all his relatives) we will see more of this hacking.
On the bright side, it will eventually get people to code securely in a non-trusted enviroment becuase the source code is not only available, but changeable.
Sadly, there will be a bunch of rough lessons between that wonderful future and what we have right now, espeically with all the focus on WEB 2.0 and Ajax.
And your comments should be ignored cause they are based on the movie, not the books. Granted, Lord of the Rings is Low Magic, it's in the Third age, and if you want to see high magic, then travel to the first age, or the time before that. That's when you have magic that sinks whole islands, reshapes whole mountains, turns fields of grass into burning plains of lava. And the few pages which are published on the sequel to LotR have no magic at all in them. Interesting stuff.

ID is about Power, political Power. The sad thing is that when a Christian body starts to concern itself with political power, it is quickly becoming something other than a Christian body.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. C.S. Lewis
As a Christian, I see more need to have an opinion on Intelligent Design than on a document standard from a company. One is a discussion on the reality of the world, the other is a stance on the choice of a company to provide a service. Christians should be more concerned about reality and than on the document standard stance of a company.
Then again I belive the above statements should also hold ture if you replace company with government or political party and document standard with morality.

How much you want to bet this is folded into IE7 with their Anti-phishing "technology".
It Also sucks for those of us in metro areas surrounding a large market like Los Angeles.

Is that a bit slower than 150baud? I think the decimal place is in the wrong location.

Uninstall it now, and install Windows Media player or Real player. I hear they are much better.
P.S. I also heard the sky was falling...
I am not from Canada, I'm from Southern California.
Double it and add Thirty, or is that the metric conversion for Beer?
But is it something like project Walrus?
