The 1st spam message I got after I started logging SPF records had a valid SPF record. I've gotten viruses with vaild SPF records. My DNS has already been crawled looking for SPF records that someone else can use. SPF has too many problems to be useful. While it heads in the right direction, its the wrong solution.
This stupdity is a result of a limited number of chips that decode a normal analog VGA signal and recreate a digital one. The laptops don't do that so they just use a pure digital signal all the way to the LCD pannel. Your desktop LCD has all sorts of nastyness in it so you can plug it into a 640x480 VGA connector and still have it work.

Melbourne Oz has mass transport Trams. The things are built like trains and use more power than if you put its passengers into any of the smaller Hondas. The cool thing is they got some brand new redisgined ones that only use about 5% more power than the older ones. They weigh so much that thier energy consumption doesn't change much if they are full or empty. Add in the way they block cars and cause traffic backups and they are anything but eco friendly. Sometimes the best looking solutions don't provide what you want.
The air density above the earht isn't consistant. For example the air pressure at 60,000 ft at the equator is about the same as at 20,000 ft at the poles.
That isn't a serious problem, thats a defective product and every country in the world has laws that say such things must be fixed or recalled. I haven't seen MS do either however there is a rumoer they have a patch CD out for free. What they should have is a $1 (or free) cd at my local computer shop that is an re-install disk that will reinstall win98/nt/me/xp perhaps with the help of my original cd.
The article is right about keeping user app stuff in the system registry. Whoever thought of that should be taken out back and shot.
Who sells HFC stuff to the small end user? Most of the rollouts are huge and none of the dealers seem to want to talk to someone doing 30 to 100 homes.
We used to have a base 12 number system. Count in english.... nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Once you get to twelve there aren't any non-compound names until you get to twenty (a score).
Oz is in a mixed up state where people seem to be clueless about sizes of anything. Ask your coworkers how big the room they are in? See if any of them get it within 50%
The Aussie police tend to figure that if you report a suspect as 5'8, they will be in the range of 5'6 to 5'10 however if you report them as 170 cm, they will assume 150 to 190 cm.
Because in most cases the year isn't needed which means month-day has the most significant bit 1st which helps for sorting. You write numbers with the most significant parts 1st so why not dates?
I think the common frame of reference is very important. With pets we tend to learn what they are after but it only works for the common things. We can tell the difference between them wanting out and them wanting food but maybe not between them wanting food and wanting water. For the pet, they may have a different frame of reference than we do but the position of their food and water dishes are close enough that we may not pick up a suttle difference in their message. They also may see the world much differentlly than we do. For example, my new pet is 3 mos old and is starting to learn that she's not allowed on the table however from her point of view, that only applies if shes jumping up on the table, not down to it. I think I have taught her not to jump on the table but in her mind, I may have taught her not to jump up from the kitchen chairs.
The main difference in other countries is that they don't use 4 foot pannels to make up the partitions, they use 1.2 meter pannels so you'll find your cubical is some multiple of 3/4 inch smaller.
Most countries that have a sales tax also have a tax on services. In Europe its called VAT and in Oz/NZ its called General Sales Tax (GST). If they start this, I expect it won't be long before every service is taxed just like current sales tax which sort of makes sense in a service economey. Of course the better solution would be get better value for our tax money.
Same is true for Australia. Orange here allows mobile calls to the US (or UK and a few other places) for about 1/2 of what it costs to call a landline. Its because of huge interconnect fees the monoploy phone co (Telstra, BT) get for connecting calls of smaller phone compaines and they don't have to pay that for international calls.
Your points are true if the action is between two people. It gets very nasty when an innocent third party gets involved and I think thats what MS is trying to prevent here.
Years ago AT&T made something called the pixel machine which was a bunch of DSPs in a box and in effect a cluster of GPUs. There are rumors that the spooks used them for DES cracking.
The reason is I can stamp "Pat no 123123123123" on it or at least "pat pending". I can't do that with software patents. To be given a good patent, the examiner must be able to search for prior art and you can not do that in software.
MS has an obligation to ensure that their products do not cause harm to others according to nearly ever product safety law in the world. If you steal a Ford pickup and it needs a recall and you kill someone as a result of the defect, Ford won't be let off the hook.
One of these days Microsoft is going to get nailed by a "innocent third party" law suit and then the avalanche of law suits will start.
About 2 billion people live in local areas where 5% of the local people own at least 1/2 of the local wealth. I don't buy that argument. I don't know how many people from the Middle East you have spoken to, but not one of the ones I've spoken to have given any hints about being jealous about the wealth. They have plenty of other complains but the one you bring up isn't one of them.
Aren't all the AP tests a joke? A decade ago I was taking all the test because they were cheaper than paying tuition and buying the books. I passed something like 80 hrs of AP exams but your limited to 30 or so for credit towarrds any degree. The result is get two degrees and I could use 60 of the credit points and the other 20 worked well to get out of useless prerequisite classes. Then I transferred to a school that would only accpet AP to get out of prerequisite 1st semester classes.

More like they are DVI-only connectors and just use the VGA pins and not the pure digital ones.
Put 400 candles in one spot. Put something exactly one foot away. That thing will be reflecting 400 lumens.

I was using a cisco AGS+ router over a decade ago that ran IOS so I would bet its The BSD... something between 4.2 and 4.4 Tahoe.

an 8x burning CD's is slow. I didn't realize just how slow the new DVD burner would be burning CDs.

Keep in mind they want to use readers that cost less than $100. For $10,000, you can get reader with a much higer range.

The hatred isn't because the US is doing better, its because the US won't keep its nose out of everyone elses business.
