The "Windows Logo Program System and Device Requirements" document linked on MS's page is 192 pages full of various hardware requirements. There's definately to it than just marketting. Most of the requirements look like pretty standard stuff to ensure that end users have as painless of an experience as possible. For example, motherboards must support booting from a CD-ROM drive and be able to support USB keyboards during bootup. Any built in USB ports must be enabled by default. Onboard graphics must be cable of 640x480 resolution. Hardware must be able to handle various shutdown modes (like hiberation) properly, etc.

Exactly. The NeroLinux screenshots looke very very similar to the Windows version... which is definately not a rebranded copy of gtoaster.
Daimaou holds the license to the changes he made, however, unless he explicitly transferred ownership of his changes back to the original license holder.
I think cheating the "easy way" would have been preferable. I'd rather Google advertise its services in a clearly marked "Service by Google" box at the top of the results page. The results themselves are supposed to be a fair ranking based on Google PR algorithm. It's anticompetitive to allow themselves to use keyword stuffing to get a better ranking but punish other competing companies in the ratings for doing the same.
If Google's services can get the #1 ranking in the PR algorithm on their own merit, then good for them. If they can't, then they should try to improve the ranking legimately.
I've heard taxfreedom.com will not allow you to automatically import data from your previous returns, unlike the regular online Turbotax product. I didn't find out about taxfreedom.com until after I filed (one of the downsides of trying to getting it done as soon as possible I guess... procrastination is a good thing somethings:)) so I can't verify that personally but I've heard of that limitation from multiple people.
The regular Turbotax for the Web product also asks if you want to pay someone to review your return so that's the same between the two...
But by stuffing this particular page with traffic related keywords, they are making it harder for other traffic analysis providers to get a fair ranking in a search result.
This isn't much different than the claims that Microsoft has hidden, internal APIs that make their applications run faster than 3rd party applications that have to use the regular, public APIs, for example.
When I first read that, I sounded it out in my head as "nipple"... Nipple Digital Library? Sounded good to me. I was pretty disappointed to see what the article was really about.
The inability to decode DirecTV on a PC is the big killer for me as well. DirecTivos record the compressed signal from the satellite directly and then decode it when you watch it. Any standalone solution would have to decode the satellite signal via the satellite receiver box then reencode it for storage. You either have to reencode at a reasonable bitrate and deal with more artifacts from transcoding or encode at a really high bitrate to preserve as much of the (already lossily encoded) signal as possible.
He wrote a song about Boba Fett. On/. that counts as a qualification apparently. If he wrote a song about Boba Fett owning an iPod they'd invite him as a regular contributor.
The worst thing I remember from back them was having to run X in Linux with only 256 colors and needing to use that "install colormap" option (or whatever it was called) so programs that displayed graphics (such as Netscape) didn't look like ass. When you brought one of these programs in focus, it made all of the other colors on the screen go psychodelic...
The original PlayStation had push down sticks as well. The only PS1 game I've played that actually used them by default was some Tom Clancy game though.
Looks like they raised to prices since I last looked at it. Unlimited GPRS is $25 a month now from Cingular. Cingular calls this service "MEdia Net - Unlimited".

Both T-Mobile and Cingular in the US offer unlimited GPRS access as an addon to your voice plan for $20/month. There are data only plans but they're the same price as cable/DSL would be to begin with.
Perhaps Google could lookup whether the website is registered with their AdSense program. If so, then the website gets paid for each click. If the site is not registered, then no automatic links.
Uhhh... the way the system works as described in TFA is that a computer in the gas pump would communicate with the GPS unit in your car directly. It's not much of a stretch to think each GPS unit is going to have a unique ID number assigned built into it. You can be as anonymous as you want, but your car can't.
That's talking about making changes to file 'by hand' using an external editor. If you use about:config, the browser itself keeps track of the change and modifies prefs.js according when you close it.
Clearing the cache doesn't make setting network.enableIDN to false start working. The compreg.dat method you linked to also is not a permanent fix as that file is recreated everytime you install an extension.

Well, the big deal about this flight is that it was supposed to be the first solo non-stop flight around the world without refuelling.
;)
So I'd imagine the answer to the question "who else was on the flight with him" is "nobody"

1.0 already has this feature about how to handle incoming links from other applications. Is there something improved about it in 1.0.1?

No kidding. He's just asking for Slashdotting since his server has transfer all those big characters.

Because security holes in web applications are always the fault of the web server software, right?

Except in Futurama, where it's the robot without the goatee.
So their bread is overpriced and burnt but served by attractive female bakers so you keep coming back?

Why don't you give it a try?
Clearing the cache doesn't make setting network.enableIDN to false start working. The compreg.dat method you linked to also is not a permanent fix as that file is recreated everytime you install an extension.
The AdBlock method does work though.
Setting stuff in "about:config" modifies your prefs.js file, which is also a persistent settings file.
