    There are cable DVRs that do this. Motorola makes one. I forget the model number, but it's out there.

    Even if he was telling the truth, he still leaked it. Only to "5 or 6" people that he *didn't know* and thought that they wouldn't themselves leak it.

    Very stupid if you ask me.

    It depends how you switch in XP...that's what I'm trying to say.

    You can Log Off or you can Switch User. Logging off kills everything...if you go BACK to a logged off user it will take several seconds.

    However, if you Switch User then everything is still running (you can see their processes in task manager if you're an admin). Going back to a user that has Switched is instantaneous.

    XP however, doesn't support concurrent users in the GUI. They want you to buy terminal services for that.

    If you remote desktop (RDP) to an XP machine then the local GUI (console) just shows the welcome screen (login screen). If you login from there while someone is in remote then the remote user is kicked out.

  11. Re:Watch for the Error.log file on Microsoft Anti-Spyware to Be Free of Charge · · Score: 1

    Are you sure you're not logging off completely then logging back on? That would be quite slow (akin to loading KDE on the same system I'd say).

    If you lock the workstation (or pick Start -> Log Off -> Switch User) then when you do go back to THAT user (or any other user you have switched from or locked the workstation as) it should be pretty quick.

  12. Re:Watch for the Error.log file on Microsoft Anti-Spyware to Be Free of Charge · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Offtopic, but what's slow about fast user switching on XP? Win+L then click on name and enter password. If they're already logged on then it's very fast for me. What slowness are you referring to? (Or am I mis-understanding you?)

    Just curious

    Are you sure about that? That's one of the things talked about in the article is finishing System.Windows.Forms.

    Someone earlier even posted that the current, 1.1, beta (I think) version of mono supports Windows.Forms.

    Of course not, that's ridiculous.

    However, having a /bin and a /bIn can be incredibly useful.

  16. Re:It will never see the light of market shelves . on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    Do all viruses mutate? I thought many did not...if some don't then couldn't this particular strand be modified so it doesn't mutate?

    Just seems to me that if that were really a big problem they wouldn't even be working on this.

  17. Re:Yes, it does make them worse. on Chinese Force Mass Closure Of Net Cafes · · Score: 1

    No, I don't see the correlation.

    The reason to not judge others or cast the first stone is because you yourself are no better than the ones you're judging. You have to be comparable to what you are judging for the rule to apply IOW.

    We are not our own government (no individual embodies their government) so it doesn't apply to comments like "China's government sucks".

    But, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
