If there's any hyped game lately based on media buzz due to clueless journalists thinking a MMO where you build your stuff is "new and cool", then this is it.
Still, Windows will create artifacts (lnk files, histories, etc) to the files on either Truecrypt volume. A skilled forensic person will be able to testify that volume you provided the password for does not have the correlating files that can be seen in the artifacts.
How to tell the links and such info to the TrueCrypt volume are broken because the stuff was already deleted there as opposed to you not giving them the proper password?
You make it sound like these services (desktop search, shadow copy,...) can't be easily turned off.:-p If you use Vista for other new features, there's not reason to switch. Just go to the Service Manager and just take it from there. However, if there's nothing you need in Vista, sure, you can go back, but then you shouldn't have switched in the first place.
NOOO! Life can ONLY exist at a Earth-sized planet with a mean temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius and where it's made of around 70% of water! FFS!;-)
the web will be used to for vast amounts of pornography
... Surfed to via (illegal, because they use encryption) darknets, because porn was long since forbidden to be in the open as it was finally set in stone that age confirmation dialogs don't verify a visitor's age well enough anyway, and many such sites don't even use a verification. Thus, skin analysis filters were made to automatically sue people under Internet subnets belonging to countries under that jurisdiction, that keeps influencing the rest of the world due to the immorality of pornorgraphy and how it (of course! just look at the video game debate) incites people to live their fantasies illegaly in the real world.
The protectionist society that keeps evolving show no signs of slowing down.:-(
In a related story, reader paulraps writes "Sweden's Justice Department is backing a new proposal that would enable copyright holders to find out the identities of people illegally sharing their material on the Internet."
I find this pretty sick... Isn't the point of having law enforcement do this because they are supposed to uphold certain legal standards? Sure, they may still not always do, but besides that. What if the copyright holder happens to be someone like Hell's Angels and they legally get your identity, a gang comes knocking on your door and kick the crap out of you? Of course, it's wrong to share copyrighted work without their permission, and it's also wrong to kick the crap out of someone in response, but it's a possibility they open for. They open for more about a "law in your own hands". I can't really see a reason a copyright holder should get hold of the identity of an offender? What exactly are they hoping to achieve with that? To more quickly get sorted with the legal work and suing people, without considering much about how this newfound information will be used by the copyright holder?
It's a similar case with pedophiles and publishing their identities. However, at least then they can prove directly harmful to their near environment. But in this case, it's on a different scale. About file sharing on the Internet. I don't see the same urgency to reveal identities with this crime. They need to weigh that urgency against the risks of people abusing this to sidestep law at all times. Two wrongs don't make a right...
I usually like software/IT blogs, sometimes from corporate employees... Blogs like the one from the Opera desktop team about the latest news on the Opera browser and the tech previews. One think I *really* believe blogs suffer from is the generalizations that they're random AOL'er BS done MySpace-style. Blogs can be so much more and different. Another software blog I enjoy reading is about the inner workings and software API's of Windows, that I'd be *very* hard pressed to even find a book for.
Yes, and the Invision Power Board supports a pretty (currently) spam proof method even built-in and with no maintenance.
Simply use its "Custom info" feature at sign up time where you can add custom questions that'll be stored in the database. One of your options will be to require the question to be in a specific format, so the user will e.g. input four numbers for a year, or a special format for a telephone number, or whatever. This time, with the question about spam, you can make it something like "Please enter two letters and then two digits (antispam measure):", and configure the input format appropriately. If they fail that or just skip that question, the sign up will fail.
We had bad problems with IPB 2.1.x and its pretty poor CAPTCHA test before we did this, but afterwards they dropped to zero. The best part is that it's so efficienct and you don't even have to download any IPB plugins for it, or wait for upcoming IPB versions. I'm aware there's already one out with improved CAPTCHA, but I'm part unsure how good it works, and it's part always good to have a custom solution against these bots. If they break this thing of ours, we can simply rephrase the question and change the required format. It won't cause our existing members to do anything either.
Then, someone decides to use it to indent some ASCII art or something that's not a logical indentation level, you get garbage when viewing it at a different setting.
It could be argued that's not the fault of the tab user though.:-p
Hard tabs are 8. Anything else, and you've never worked with other poeple.
It's not that bad -- you saying that shows you lack experience in some projects. For example, the common IDE Visual Studio by default uses tabs only. And then you have this big programming team coding for Windows in VS and using defaults. Then it doesn't matter if you personally change your tab width to 4. It won't mess up indentation. Sure, it could override some "max column width" thing if you accidentally use that shorter tab width to fit more in e.g. 80 cols, but that would depend on if the team respected that old convention in the first place.
I agree, that's exactly why I use tabs. For flexibility for the reader.
The important thing is not to mix tabs and spaces.
God, I remember when we used emacs for coding Java. I'm not sure if the default installs were just stupidly configured, but emacs used 2 space indentation (with spaces) and if there were two indents, it replaced it with a tab! And then of course -- three indents = 1 tab + 2 spaces. OMG the frustration that always caused.:-#
I don't even understand why so many IDE's *support* that setting. Letting tab width be different from indentation width and using some "smart indent" feature to replace with tabs... I mean, it wreaks havoc on anyone trying to read it with another tab size. Either only use spaces, or only tabs.:-)

And actually, step #2 is not necessary, although #1 is essential.

So I want a cheap burner, HD-DVD works, but preferrably Blu-ray. Mmmm, disc space!
But it doesn't run MS Paint natively. Damn, you almost had me there.
OK then, so everyone goof up every once in a while, I can't really blame them for that, but when is there a patch for the patch then?
NOOO! Life can ONLY exist at a Earth-sized planet with a mean temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius and where it's made of around 70% of water! FFS! ;-)
Or even better, not managing that, and having to bend over.
Sure, but then you were probably thinking of Symantec Web 2007....
The new Symantec Web 2008 is much better, and can do so much more in one package!

Not for a Mars rover!
1) This is folk psychology; they're not pretending it's backed up with research.
Good, then I can safely ignore what really just seems like ramblings of some person in a blog.
Next time, maybe doing some psychology research would be a good idea to base the ideas of non-political correctness on. Just a thought.
As a guy finding just as many brunettes attractive, and some redheads too, I don't really where these "facts" came from.
They may be politically incorrect, but I'm not sure there's any "truths" in them.
Yeah, so one is now supposed to rewrite the API one is using too? ;-)

Maybe because if the IDE reformats all your code you wind up with the entire file as a diff when you check it in to your source code control system?
;-)
The diff tool shouldn't take mere linebreaks and indents as changes! They don't affect code. DAMNIT
No wait, your message was actually 92 cols at most!
Who do you think you're kidding -- live like you learn, dammit!
Damn, that'll be tough!!
