A) True, but in many places they're pretty easy to spot....that big black dome on the ceiling isn't decorative...=)
B) Think sleight of hand....not blocking the camera. In other words, it could be done so it wasn't suspicious looking.
C) True. Kinda makes this whole story moot because there are more than a dozen ways to fix the supposed "problems" without really changing the underlying technology.
Yea....it's really not meant to be used by typical end-users though. I have seen apps in Win2k request the administrator password when running though.
In a shortcut you can specify that an app should run with different credentials (check the advanced options). This is in XP at least...Not sure if 2k has this or not.
Still, the problem is the apps not supporting this or using it.
Yea. I've had that problem too, but then I've seen it work once or twice (and it actually WAS admin and not yourself as it usually works out..) but I don't know what made it work or not work...
Not abandoned exactly. There will be new APIs that supercede them for Longhorn only (Avalon/XAML) apps. What they're really trying to do is break the tie with legacy apps on Longhorn. Your System.Windows.Forms (which is really the only part that is changing with Longhorn) apps will not be using the latest and greatest API once longhorn hits, but that's about it. If you've properly seperated your UI from the rest of your app then this shouldn't be a *big* problem for most people....especially since it will work without any changes anyways.
eh? That's the point of shareware....if you continue to use it then please be kind and pay for it. If you do not continue to use it then don't worry about it....where's the problem?
True....NET isn't as pervasive as us.NET developers would like it. But where it truly shines so far is in in-house corporate apps and web development. ASP.NET is just freaking awesome. And for corporate apps, rolling out the.NET runtime to all clients isn't a big deal most the time.

Or send out extortion letters to all purchasers of such equipment and create yourself another revenue stream ala DirecTV.
With as low power as RFID tags are I wonder how much encryption they can muster up....
Heard of sleight of hand? Find the position of the security camera and it's all a matter of angles. You'd never see it.
Do you really think you have to store the whole server farm ?
Why not just the hard drives or tapes or DVDs or {insert your favorite backup medium here} ?
actually linuxdevices is down...windowsfordevices is up...at the moment.
No
Ahh....been a while since I've played NES games on an emu. Thanks for the clarification.
Nesticle and another one I can't think of ATM emulate 90+% of all NES games flawlessly....
ZSNES and Snes9x as well as far as SNES games go.
But does Google News have the insightful commentary that comes with each and every Slashdot story?
Hah, I didn't think so.
....that is clearly the obvious solution.....
Well if you paid them (and you're still alive), it seems like they delivered on their end of the deal. Doesn't sound like a scam to me.....=)
DirecTV's is two way now too...has been for a while.
I don't see how this is really different from DirecTV's offering.
Wow, thanks for the thorough reply.
Don't you mean a moo point? Like a cow's opinion....it doesn't matter.
Somewhat off-topic, but that statement crossed my mind....how DO you cheat in chess? Some sleight of hand when moving your pieces or what?

Win2k and up have "runas" which is essentially the same as su/sudo.
You do know that current satellite internet (DirecWay specifically) provides for two-way communication via the satellite (no phone required).
Well, a well prepared, equiped and financed person would be capable of that. That does not describe most hostage takers however.
It's not the concept that is a security hole...it was (is) all the buffer overflow/run exploits in Microsoft's UPnP implementation.
