both are definitely retouched. The problem with the first one is that the child has been cut in from a darker picture and then they have used blur around the edge of the child which is why the child has a strange black glow around him. Second one has a shadow on ground which isn't being cast by anything and the middle block on the front of the tank has been removed because the missing figure obscured the left half of the block.
if this means that every product comes with decent MSI installer databases, then I for one applaud this decision.
Its a great technology, and should be encouraged...
We see this time and again. It is because of this sort of stupidity that Apple have released 10.2.4 and destroyed so many machines - because of this piss-poor atttitude to any sort of beta program....
I'm fed up of new planets being called HGSY-121-SX and now "The Great Dark Spot".
What next? A new galaxy found and we call it "a big peuce swirly thing".
Should call it "The Great Dark Spot", more something like "The Massive Mutated Space Monster Lair of Jupiter". That'll get the kids back into wanting to go to space!!!!
In an alternative dimension on www.c-colon-backslash.org, there is a post on the front page that mouth-frothingly says "And besides, someone needs to let CmdTaco know: when writing a story on how Microsoft is bad, you have to call them "Micro$oft". Come on, that's Tech Journalism 101, people"?
Using Linux as an example--
Its far better to run Linux and Win-in-VMWare (free + VMWare) than MS and Linux-in-its-VMWare-clone. Do you trust MS stuff to be the core OS?
The thing is, you would be encapsulating the Linux on the Windows OS inside a process where all calls outwards from the process would be to a virtualised system and that adds an extra level of protection from the overall system crashing. Done well (and Microsoft and Connectix engineers are capable of it), it could lead to the types of 99.999% uptime reliability even on clients.
the possibilities for where Microsoft takes this are huge, obviously on the server side but on the client side as well. For instance, if you were doing deployment development, instead of rebuilding a clean machine each time you test an app, just invoke a new Windows process. Of course, it could be a move so that someone running Windows could invoke a Linux process, effectively transforming Linux under its own feet from being a OS to a freeware software product....
Why is there all this mouth-frothing over this. Let's actually put the truth here: the so-called fake one that Microsoft had before was a real user whom they used a publicity shot to be the face of. Yet good ole Ellen from Apple's campaign has been exposed that she went down to the shoot because she was a friend of friend of someone working on the advert and had never written that letter in the first place. But hey, Slashdot never lets the truth get in the way of a good bit of FUD.
We have all those clones and nutjobs in Star Trek trying to destroy the earth, and those blasted whales and their mega whiny ship from that stupid Voyage Home movie aren't helping out!
Lazy fish! Its bars of soap made from you if you don't start pulling yer (fish) finger out...
Easily the worst console ever. Terrible technology, rubbish games. All I remember about it though was that you needed to have tiny, tiny hands to play the thing - did anything ever have a smaller controller?
This is why computer games will NEVER be open-source. How many fiascos, from the rubbish produced from the freeciv project to this (I mean, Glide, I ask you!) will it take before peopkle understand that to a great complex game will never be produced by an open source project...
Ahhh, indeed, some day these computers will be able to be fast enough to run Photoshop, play MP3s and you'll be able to run a spelling and grammar checker at the same time for when you are posting on Slashdot!!!

And if you were running a Red Hat distro that was 7 years old, Red Hat would have stopped supporting it 4 years ago.

but the sad thing is, very few slashdotters would have got that...
Good God, you must be a total pain in the backside to have as a father.
It is very beneficial to keep Virtual PC going. Why? Profit.
Let's just say they kill it off and 20% of Mac owners sell up and buy PCs.
Or they keep it going, make it better, and 30% of all Mac owners buy it.
Which equals more profit to Microsoft? 20% owners paying OEM Windows licenses or 30% paying full consumer priced Windows licenses?
Its not a bad bit of profit for Microsoft, when you consider that Virtual PC was a minor after-thought for why they bought the technology...
That the OpenOffice representative on OASIS clearly has not a clue what XML's purpose is?
