Twice in the last month, I had to boot from a XP CD and get into the recovery console and use, gasp, DOS to fix some disk and boot sector problems. Until something else comes along, such primitive stuff still works at the lowest level.
I remember seeing a large disk drive start dancing around the floor like an unbalanced washing machine. That was in the 70's when a disk drive the size of a washing machine had maybe 50 meg or less (I honestly don't remember).
This just proves that PhD stands for "piled higher and deeper." Next year someone will win a prize for a dissertation on The Simpsons and how Homer embodies the best and worst of American men.
I am thankful for all the blogs and people who look at these things with a critical eye. I thought the doctored photo looked funny, but I didn't know why.
The internet has made such bullshit very difficult to get away with. And as someone said, use many sources to hone in on the truth.
Knowledge engineering. knowing a knowledge domain well coupled with technical IT skills, has always been in demand. Architecting a good enterprise business database requires good knowledge of the business plus a good database skill set.
I am primarily a seller and the seller pays the fees. Between the eBay sellers fees and PayPal fess (if one accepts it), the cost can be fairly hefty. PayPal is damn convenient as one can get instant payment and not worry about cashing a check and waiting for it to clear. But there is a cost. I just wish where was some genuine competition.
Where can I buy some cheap student credentials to buy one at that price? I might actually spring for one at $899 and have a Mac again. It has been many years....
I am not sure if this has already been said on this thread, but I am already getting hints that the conspiricy freaks are saying he isn't really dead. He just faked his death so he could escape prison.
There's far less cause for it to phone home if it wakes up in the same old body. There's some complexity going on if you replace a hardware component; defining "a computer" is tricky.
Most "shotgun" approcahes inconvenience many and hurt a few. If I decode to replace my motherboard and CPU, but use the same drive, I expect it to work without any hassle. If I replace the engine in my old beater car, I don't expect it to stop working becaue CGV (Chevy Genuine Advantage) kills it.
I suspect the pirates will get around this anyway, so it is all a moot point as far as piracy goes.
If WGA phones home more than once, it is proabably up to no good. If it discovers that your copy of Windows is legal, why on earth would it need to contact MS more than once?
It may well be checking for pirated movies, songs, etc and MS may be in cahoots with RIAA/MPAA/BOHICA.

"If its going to gobble up the whole world, then I don't think where you do it is relevant. Linux will be gobbled up just as much."
But don't you think the black hole would fail with a BSOD if it gobbles up MS first?
If one MUST be created, do it in Redmond, Washington.
We make Nigeria into a state as there is $57,848,925,050,147,124.63 languishing in Nigerian banks. We could all be rich!

He was a real animal lover and worked for the preservation of many species.
Rest in peace, friend.
That is just fine. I sleep through most tv and movies anyway and I don't like to be awakened by sound.
And those points will get me what?
10,000 points and $6.50 will get you a cuppa Starbuck's coffee.
I guess they don't have DRM. Good thing as if it were up to the RIAA, there would only be one human.

Now that was exciting!

My pr0N collection would require a disk farm the size of Rhode Island. Now that is progress.
The Web in particular and the Internet in general is a great benefit to those who are homebound because of illness or disability.
The safe landing of the shuttle. I hope the rest of the day goes as well for me.

Pure coding is being shipped elsewhere, methinks.
of the autopsy. Like "Alien Autopsy."
They will create a black hole that will destroy us all.
I am going to drink beer until then.
I seem to have lost track of time.
This is a joke, right?

I have been using them for years and they keep getting more expensive and more restrictive.
Unfortunately, there isn't a good alternative yet.
