Will the MPAA legislate against home theaters? Of course they will, because you're obviously an evil hacker who is pirating all their precious content. There's no way anyone would have all that equipment unless they were a child molesting, copyright-stealing, terrorist supporting, drug-dealing, evildoer pirate!
Technically, it shouldn't. That's the whole point of COM (and IE is built as a COM app). If you match the interfaces, the client app shouldn't give a d*mn about the man behind the curtain.
If someone is reading msnbc.com, there's an excellent chance they're aware of the SSSCA.
Joe Blow who just set up is new UltraCool P4 with WinXP, clicks on IE, and gets the MSN home page. Guess what the default news site is? You don't have to be a 1337 h4xx0r to read MSNBC.
Rather than form a federation with Microsoft and work with what we had already created, there was this notion that the world should be offered an alternative," Mundie said.
Someone should get this into evidence in the antitrust hearings, showing that MS doesn't believe in allowing any competition.
Another fun thing is that you can essentially ignore discontinuities when you integrate complex functions.
OK, that's not quite true, you have to make a path around the discontinuity, but you can take the the value as the limit of the detour radius approaches 0.

Can I copy this please, so that I can send it to my congresscritters?
I think the main problem that people have with it is its pascal like syntax
Again, agreed. I'd really love to shoot the guy who put the keyword "is" into the Ada language!

Sorry, my bad. You're partially right and I'm partially wrong.
I took a closer look. The architecture goes up to 52-bit VAs. There are 12 "available" bits that OS'en can use. 12 bits are state bits. 12 bits are Reserved(MBZ), leaving 28 bits currently defined for a 40 bit addressing (28 bit page base + 12bit offset). However, when you add in those MBZ bits, you get a 52 bit address (40bit pagebase +12 bit offset).
The 40 bit address and 48 bit virtual limits are inherent in the page table mappings. (See the AMD Spec [amd.com]) I found it dissapointing that these limits were in the design up front without apparent room for expansion (free bits to be used in the future) This means that when they do decide to expand the addressing range, they will have to redisign the page table layout and force OS writers to change their code to use it. It would have been nicer to have expansion room built in to the page table design and simply have the CPU implementation have limited pinouts.
WTF are you talking about? The page tables clearly show 12 Reserved (MBZ) bits in all page tables. That allows for a full 64-bit paged address space (40+12 = 52 bits, with 12-bits for offset within page = 64).

How about Heyerdahl's Ra Expeditions?
You might find this interesting, then.
Nail him for "Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor"!!!!!
Thanks for the stereotyping. I don't know about gessel, but I live in Los Angeles. I must be an ultra-liberal Dem, right?
Wrong, I'm a registered Libertarian.
To use your logic, based on your postm you obviously must be a sister-marrying beer-drinking redneck from the South.
Shouldn't it be:
"Get your laws off my computer, you d*mned dirty CongressApe"!!!!
90% of those who download Anime have no intention of buying it, and usually get pissy when you suggest they do.
Source, please.
Didn't you know? 90% of all statistics are made up!

It's not the previews... that's OK. However, in L.A. the LA Times *ALWAYS* has a commercial, and there are other ones that I don't remember either.
Boucher's been on the right side of this issue from day one.
At was available waaaay back on V7 Unix. I recall using it under Zilog's ZEUS on a System 8000.
ZEUS was Zilog's V7/SysIII hybrid that ran on a Z8000 based unix box.

I love it. It's "Dudes, you don't have all the power you think you have. You'd better play nice, or we'll take our ball and go play somewhere else."
Someone's been needing to tell this to ICANN for a long time.
Also, that article is in the NewsWeek section of MSNBC, which means it probably got into the PRINT version, so it has a really wide distribution.
It's really quite simple - the only right of a consumer is to buy stuff,
.sig. "I am not merely a consumer or a taxpayer. I am a citizen of the United States."
I'm gonna (probably mis-)quote someone elses

I think you're right. The OP mentioned that Jon had a clue as to what was on the DVDs.
