You are correct, quick launch was available in windows 95 only after installing IE4. IE4 of course corresponded to Windows 98 and all of the anti-trust problems that it brought.
The real problem here is that Apple was given a patent for something they already held many years earlier through nextstep. It's like a patent-renewal backdoor.
It's quite clearly misuse. Any IRC recording by the investigation entitiy would result in inadmissable evidence, at least under the US constitution. Since the "criminals" (as everyone likes calling them) are not US citizens, they aren't covered by the constitution.
More importantly, a botnet could be used for any number of things. Depending on the actual conversation, Gembe may not have revealed his use, or lied saying it was to test a network he administered.
ABS works by feathering the breaking when it detects a tire slipping with respect to the other three
ABS generally has very poor detection or no detection at all. Rather than simply removing breaking force (which doesn't even remove all the friction) when slippage is detected, the system typically pulses the caliper at a pre-determined interval.
These pre-determined intervals will generally keep a car from sliding in rain, but won't allow you to do a hood stand when someone attempts suicide in front of your car.
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, that is a fairly accurate guess for 17" lcds (TN panels anyway). Since pretty much all 17" lcds are TN rather than high-contrast panels, it doesn't really hurt to generalize.
Power ratings on monitors aren't like the ratings on computer power supplies. By effectively estimating average and peak power draw the manufacturer can save money. If the AC adapter is rated to handle too little power, the adapter or monitor will prematurely fail. If the adapter is rated too highly, the vendor just wasted a few cents.
Manslaughter isn't that simple. If it were, you'd see countless fools being charged for holding up traffic when an ambulance doesn't make it to the hospital in time.
It really wasn't that uncommon, Microsoft studios did the same thing in the late 1990s with Outwars and the original Age of Empires as well as the expansion pack. Earlier games used this technique to allow for less cpu overhead while playing music, typically the sound was just sent though the cd-in connector.
The problem is really going to be solved by itself when the broadcasters stop underpowering their digital broadcasts. As others have noticed, your average broadcaster only puts through 10% signal strength on their digital channels. It's really causing a lot more problems than expected, because now all the early adopters believe that digital tv doesn't work well.
It will be interesting to see if everyone decides to just change over on february 9th or do a somewhat gradual change involving fuzzy-looking ads that the analog broadcast is being slowly terminated.
The xbox360 actually uses GPU memory for the whole system. Kind of the opposite of a on-board video card on a PC, the xbox360 cpu must connect to the GPU to access memory.
Since the memory is fairly fast, the system still remains resonsive, most of the time.
There's really no need for copy protection in a subscription based model; Blizzard makes much more money selling monthly subscriptions than they do on the games. I'd really rather not see all the games go to a subscription setup though, that would make it really hard for new developers to enter the mix, and we'd probably see even more EA-style regurgitation sequels.
Insinuating that cigarettes and alcohol are under vice taxing is trolling. The medical costs associated with both are astronomical, and the federal government ends up paying indirectly somehow.
That said, everyones costs are higher due to cell phone use. More auto wrecks, longer commutes to work, more hours wasted at school due to lower average intelligence...
It seems like half the time I see someone make a stupid move in traffic it's because they're on their cell phone, the other (well, both really) half just doesn't care.
Since games typically have to read to either graphics memory or system memory to run whatever data is needed, typically reads are sequential. High quality mechanical drives are still quite fast in sequential reads.
Your first 3 propositions are not unsolicited; in each situation, the group is well defined. The last is completely unsolicited, it doesn't really matter if their end is touchy-feely, they are still engaging in spam.
Apple has a whole cult who thinks that they do no wrong. Amazon has to sell to people without a application that is built specifically for a huge line of media devices. Aren't these prices just as high as Apples?
Why would anyone migrate from a service with very few problems at no cost savings?
The only question in this case is whether the helicopter surveyed the couple's land without a warrant. Doing so is a violation of privacy, and is also trespassing with a deadly weapon.

Why was the US government even involved? Shouldn't the competitors have broght their evidence directly to court against Orbit?

Don't apply for a job at Infoworld, your knowlege level is too high.
Didn't they learn you that the CPU is the big box with the blinkin' lights?

It's working pretty well for the xbox360. Granted, doesn't have anything similar to a PC memory bus.

I thought you were going to say Hitler.
The only question in this case is whether the helicopter surveyed the couple's land without a warrant. Doing so is a violation of privacy, and is also trespassing with a deadly weapon.
But who would sound like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on their cell phone?
So the shielding allows for remote control signals, but doesn't allow radiation to pass through...?
I'm with qbzzt; doesn't Canada still have an open immigration policy?
It's an organization of people who were crazy enough to vote for Howard Dean.
So you would support the imprisonment of the entire police force in your area?
Not bad, a cop getting busted for fabricating evidence. Too bad you have to spend thousands to catch your own.
