HAHAH! Did you just say microsoft is "the only place that has millions of dollars"? Even McDonalds has millions of dollars... I understand what you're saying, you just could have used better words (hmmm.. maybe... "billions").
Not to sound like a flaimbait, and yes, I use and love linux, but this is some proof that micro$oft isn't the only place in the world that puts out code with security holes in it.
This is very sketchy in privacy laws, but it probably doesn't violate anything. Also, it sounds like the printer companies are volunteering the information to the authorities.
Any known way to easily disable this? (Or is it only known by the main-stream counterfeiters, and they don't want to share, for fear of it getting made harded to do?)
I wonder what else this patch will include. Maybe some anti-piracy stuff. Valve has to working on cracking down on that more. Anything else that needs patching?
One consideration that would need to be accounted for is security. A sandbox would obviously need to be made so malicious programs could not cause harm on the computer, but this would make the program lose efficiency.
Could someone not write something like this but open source and distributed. The animators could all put the client programs on their machines, and when they needed to render something, they could submit it to the central server for queueing up. Of course many rules would need to be imposed, such as 30 scene limits to allow everyone to cycle through the queue quickly, or 20 minute process time limits, for those really detailed scenes.
Of course, security would be another issue. There would need to be some way to encrypt data, even when being processed on a machine. And bandwidth for transfering all of this would pose another issue.
Of course you can webmaster without root, how do you think hosting companies do it? You can upload files and admin the db. What more does a webmaster need to do?
Oh, upgrades on perl/php/apache you say? Wait... isn't that a sys admins job?
Grab a computer with 3 video cards, swictch it into multi-moniter mode, and get the 3 players running, 1 per moniter. Shouldn't be that much of a problem.
In the current market firefox is the end all solution for most people. Not only does opera not stand a chance, but I'd say IE is getting a run for its money as well.
also... lots of staff at TechTV has recieved theirs, plus, if google "free ipod guide" you'll find plenty of websites desribing the process (w/ pictures)
Most likely they just had some junior level member make it... or even outsourced the project to someone who doesn't care about legality. But they should still verify that they aren't distrubiting pirated materials to everyone everywhere.
Or... Mr. "Deepz0ne" actually works for microsoft, and distributed the legit microsoft serial.... Nah

Actually... besides the fact that it would take forever, auditing your code personally probably wouldn'y find a whole lot flaws.
Here is the information you are looking for.

This will delay my purchase of the game. As the last link shows, these problems have been evident even in the E3 demos. Why didn't valve fix this?

I doubt anyone without the source could hack together "more optimised" drivers than the original coders who can talk directly witht the hardware team.
I was going to have to be the 1.07th post, but now I get to be first!
That's the only thing keeping me on Winamp. I don't think I've found another player that supports this. Why not? This is the best feature ever.
How about... "CHEESE!" instead?
How about just "CHEESE!"
Many schools and workplaces are banning camera phones. These definately pose a privact risk, but not more so than regular cameras.
If I remember correctly, this is a common place for (IP) pirates to hang out. I believe the FastTrack servers are stored here.
Very nice... put links to 10 screenshots on the front page of slashdot. The servers at a crawl, I ber its running Fedora Core 3.
