You need local admin privileges to install Framework 3.5 SP1. And remember - if an application masquerades with local admin privileges, it can do WHATEVER it wants.
More like appending the version of the.NET CLR to the UA string, so that ClickOnce or XBAP applications can install through Firefox instead of requiring IE. I can testify (looking at my UA right now) that it does not change anything else and leaves the Firefox name intact.
Of course, to find this out you might have to research or think about your answer instead of assuming evil behavior on Microsoft's part...
GTA4 kills proc and not GPU so much - I have a GTX260 Core 216 and a Quad-core Q9550, and I get an easy 40 FPS with medium textures enabled. I hear it's supposed to go higher when Nvidia releases their new drivers. In any case, Steam Forums was having a shootout in many threads when GTA4 was released and there's a pretty clear correlation between processor power and higher framerates. It's also supposed to be 64-bit optimized so I might be getting a boost from running 64-bit Vista.
Yet more conclusive proof of the USPTO's utter incompetence, from the people who brought you "Contradictory Patents Teach Us To Get Along" and "Everyone's Got A Little Prior Art Sometimes, That Doesn't Mean We Go Around Invalidating Patents"
Well, gee, since his name is THOMAS Black (http://dos.uchicago.edu/staff.html),I'm not surprised he never got back to you. It always helps to make sure of the name of the person you're talking to...shows a little respect.
We can only hope (and I'm sure the studio does, too) that this movie doesn't become another Waterworld or Pearl Harbor. Otherwise, how will the studios ever justify enough funds to create a truly realistic and engaging experience with ground-breaking special effects? We can think of LOTR:FOTR as a litmus test for the future of huge-budget movies. A year from now, the movie industry may have changed entirely based on the box-office performance of this movie.

I understand that what you're saying - that Central American people became greedy for American consumer products. But is this necessarily a bad thing? It's not as if "all the ills (hunger, disease, orphans, maimed bodies, etc.)" didn't exist BEFORE the Peace Corps came. As long as the people are repressed by a dicatatorship, they do not have the opportunity to prosper - unless they are friends with the ruling class. Explain to me the European and corporate colonialism - the last time I checked, every single country in the Middle East was a fully independent sovereign nation. In fact, most (if not all) of these countries make it incredibly hard on corporate colonials who try to do business.
You suggest that we have a double standard towards Arabs and Israelis, but the bottom line is that we have the right as an independent nation to support other governments like our own. Israel is a democracy (however fractured) and Palestine is a dictatorship. There's no reason to be neutral in that conflict, just like there was no reason to be neutral in World Wars I and II.
Finally - acts of war against the Palestinians? As memory serves, Arafat was the one who sponsored a jihad against the Israelis. During the proffered cease fire, it was Arafat who for some strange reason could not keep his loyal troops from fighting. It was Arafat's security services who prevented AP reporters from filming anti-American rallies after September 11th. It is Arafat's official newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadidah that serves as the voice of the Islamic terrorist groups Fatah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad. It was Arafat's press that on September 12th called suicide bombers "the noble successors of their noble predecessors...the Lebanese suicide bombers who taught the US Marines a tough lesson in Lebanon...the salt of the earth, the engines of history...the most honorable people among us." It is preposterous to suggest that Arafat is completely innocent in the Middle East conflict - in fact, he is undeniably guilty. -----------

And yet, if you're an administrator it's trivial to escalate to SYSTEM. That's the whole danger of granting unnecessarily broad admin privileges.

I just build a new Vista x64 SP1 build on an Intel P45 chipset, enabled ACPI and it works beautifully. Just sayin', is all...
