Also, URLs should only be added to the history once they get past that step and actually recieve a "200 ok" reply from the server with a piece of data or something.

The password manager in mozilla is actually working as designed. Sites like yahoo and online banks use the HTML autocomplete attribute (part of web standards) to specifically reqest that autocomplete functions do not store the passwords etc.
I think what the license says is that if you own Vista Business/Pro/Ultimate, you can run one copy on a real machine and a second copy (from the one licence) in a VM. But, if you own Vista Home, you would need to purchase a second licence for it if you want to run one copy on a real machine and one in a VM.
Also, software like Fraps will not work 100% on Vista anymore.
They will either not be able to run at all or will be able to run but wont be able to capture protected content (which might not just be stuff being played with a media player, games companies might decide "we want our game to be considered protected content" as a form of copy protection)
Get gift cards out there a lot more (some aussie stores sell gift cards for the australian iTunes service but there needs to be more) Another option would be to push use of prepaid credit cards (basicly, those cards that you get and load up with a certain amount of money and can then be used like a credit card) or debit cards (credit cards that take the money straight out of your bank account). Unfortunatly, for some stupid reason, you have to be over 18 to get prepaid credit cards or debit cards too.
Why not take that scene in season 3 of Enterprise where Archer is transported forward in time to the future where the xindi are part of the federation or whatever it is and set a movie or TV show in that time period?
Also, in addition to it being illegal to accept money for prioritization, they should be prohibited from discriminating based on network addresses and only be allowed to prioritise traffic based on port numbers and network protocols (disclaimer: IANA network engineer so I dont know if there is a legitimate need to apply QoS based on network addresses instead of just port numbers)
FTTH will probobly suck (and probobly already sucks for those who have it) for one reason. ISPs will place restrictions on what you can do with it. (like block running web servers)
Thankfully, there are pretty much no insane, stupid or draconian restrictions on my DSL account here in australia. For example, they dont block ports or restrict any protocols like BitTorret or VoIP. But at the same time, I have a 20GB per month limit, if I exceed that, I get shaped to 64k for the rest of the month.
In this case, I dont think the studios will buckle. If this was walmart threatening a manufacturer of TV sets or lawnmowers or underwear or whatever, those companies would play ball because they know that if they dont, walmart would buy the underwear or the TV sets or the lawnmowers from one of their competitors.
Unlike those companies however, the movie studios have a monopoly on their product. They know that walmart needs to sell their product because if they dont, walmart will loose sales as everyone who wants those moves goes to somewhere other than walmart. And those people who go somewhere else will probobly buy stuff other than the movies at that other store too. (stuff that they would have bought at walmart if walmart had the movie they wanted)
DVD sales are too big a chunk of walmarts business for them to take any real action against the movie studios and the studios know that which is why they wont buckle to walmart.
Create a new kind of license for flying cars, one that requires more training and stricter tests. You already need a different license than a regular car license if you want to drive busses or trucks or whatever so the same should apply to flying cars.
Basicly, if you want to fly a flying car, you have to demonstrate that you can fly a flying car without crashing it.
Ever since an enterprising company called Diamond Multimedia combined a flash memory chip and an MPEG audio decoding ASIC (and other hardware) to create the first mass-market digital audio player, the recording companies have done everything they can legally do (and a whole bunch of things that are only legal because the RIAA paid big bucks to make things that way) to stop or restrict these players. The biggest "fear" of the RIAA and the record companies is people using digital audio players as a transfer medium to transfer copies of music to other people who dont actually own it (i.e. rip a CD to a digital audio player and then copy it off onto someone elses PC or digital audio player).
This is just the latest step. Having windows media player rip CDs to a DRM'd format (that can only play on the PC it was ripped to and possibly certain digital audio players) by default (unless you specifically go to a hard to find menu option to turn it off) helps the RIAA with this since these ripped files wont play if you copy them off the digital audio player onto another PC or onto another digital audio player.
The problem is that there is a lot of FUD floating about on both sides of the debate.
What those who support "net neutrality" really want is laws (or something thats just as legally binding such as regulatory rules from the FCC) that prevent ISPs from deliberatly providing less bandwidth to traffic based on port numbers, network protocols (e.g. BitTorrent or VoIP) or source and destination addresses. No-one is saying that ISPs should or shouldnt be able to remove people from their networks (i.e. spammers, hackers etc) This is all about PREVENTING ISPs from transfering costs from folks like Google to folks like your grandmother. ISPs want to charge companies like Google and YouTube and Vonage money for the "privaledge" of getting faster speeds to their customer while companies like CNN and Fox and Disney and others that are "friendly" to the ISPs (especially in the case of the cable companies who are backed by Big Media) get a free ride.
Or wait untill this guy http://www.mameworld.net/vlinde/ finishes the work he is doing and makes Nintendo 64 emulation possible the way it should have been done (instead of that "HLE" crap most N64 emulators use)

Better hope someone in the iranian government doesnt read that, next thing you know they will ban SSH as "anti-islamic"
I thought the GPU in the xbox 360 was supposed to have fancy technology that made anti-aliasing essentially "zero cost"...

For a lot of these people, its wal-mart or nothing. (does wal-mart employ illegals from south of the border like some people do?)
I am sure that if these people could get jobs elsewhere (k-mart, target or any other place) they would. But they cant.

The last place I worked had 1 or 2 meetings per week as "project team" meetings with various smaller discussions.
Can your friends train a whole pile of public servents and office workers who still think of the blue E icon as "the internet"?
Thats probobly where the cash is going, to train all the people (not just the users but the IT people, admins etc) and to provide support for it all.
In this case, I dont think the studios will buckle.

Quote from the freescale web site:
"After more than 50 years as part of Motorola, Freescale started a new life as a stand-alone company in July 2004."
If they are not using IPv6, how can they really call it "next generation"?
Motorola doesnt make semiconductors anymore.
Thats done by FreeScale semiconductor who are a totally seperate company.
