Yes, but even MS apps have this problem. For example: The caculator app that comes with Windows. If you run as non-admin it can't remember if its supposed to open in scientific or standard mode because this setting is stored in HLKM (doh!).
I think you mean the/GS compiler switch. This adds buffer overun protection as well as other secuirity enhancements. Windows XP and beyond have been and will be compiled with that switch. In fact starting with VS 8.0 it is no longer an "option", its the default.
Is it not true that they use Suns to compile windows itself? Because they need the huge multiprocessor power of a real computer (130+ cpu's)? What about (noso)hotmail? There are still BSD systems running there. I guess the article is only talking about workstations?
That's a pattently false. Windows is built on Windows using VC++; as is nearly every piece of software made by Microsoft. There's no "huge multiprocessor power" needed to build the Windows OS either. More processors of course is alwasy better, but it's more like 2 and 4 processor machines not 120+. I don't know where you heard this rumor, but trust me, it's absurd.
That can't happen. If the vehicle in the rear refuses to enter the area where the lights are on, then the vehicle will eventually have to slow down to the speed of the vehicle in front.
The length of the trail would change based on the speed of the vehicle. If each stud turned on for two seconds after it was passed, then a fast vehicle would turn on more studs in the same period of time that a slow moving vehicle. Meanwhile, the vehicle behind would simply want to avoid being in the lit up area (that's the two second rule. Thus, the faster two vehicles are traveling, the farther a part they will become.

Just make your/boot your primary master, install Windows on your secondary master, put your / on your tertiary master and your fourth fdisk partition slot is an extended, for whatever else you need. Set the NT partition active, install NT, then boot a linux CD or floppy (heh) and install, placing the boot loader in the MBR and teaching it about NT. Voila, dual boot. Now you just have to decide on how you're going to handle those files...
Wow! Its so simple!
I can't even imagine why everyone isn't doing this!
According to the study, the manufacturing of one desktop computer and 17-inch CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor requires at least 240 kilograms of fossil fuels, 22 kilograms of chemicals and 1,500 kilograms of water
That's not true at all. Only the OS needs a new version. The OS simply marks pages allocated to the stack as "No Execute", and voila, programs can't use a buffer overrun to execute code.

What about the fact that some one actual took the time to create a cracked version of the game!
I think he was praising his students, not himself.

Umm... it also works when the call isn't recursive.
Sprites Rule! Case in point: Baldur's Gate vs. Neverwinter Nights.

Just bought an XFX with dual DVI outs. It's pretty sweet. chek it out.

Scorched Earth? That game was fucking awsome.

All modern architecture's have seperate caches for code and data. Simply flushing the i-cache will allow you to update your code on the fly.
That's not true at all. Only the OS needs a new version. The OS simply marks pages allocated to the stack as "No Execute", and voila, programs can't use a buffer overrun to execute code.
Wow.
Thanks to you we can be assured that game developers will continue to develop for only a single platform.
Hey, Chef, what's a sellout?
Well, kids, that's when some in the [software] business tries to make money.
I think you mean I'll give her a perl necklace...
Boo-ya!
Don't underestimate Intel. Unlike the Gnomes they have a plan
Step 1: Hyperthreading
Step 2: Multicore
Step 3: Crush competition (i.e. Profit)
