Except for the fact that XBox Live is, for the most part, a match-making service. The games are hosted on one of the players XBox's. The architecture is nothing like an MMORPG.
The problem wasn't that it was accepting mail that looked like that, it was that when reading the email that contained the faulty send line, it would read past the end of the "From" line looking for the matching >, which could result in a sort of buffer overflow that would read into other people's messages.
You need to actually look at the message you sent in the GMail interface to see if it has been fixed.
I don't think so. If I would use the same browser window for both sessions, I was still prompted in for logon twice.
As for your other comments about IE, if you do a Ctrl-N or File->New->Window, the two instances of IE are in the same process. If you simply launch IE from an icon you will get two seperate processes. As for how this affects sharing of cookies, your guess is as good as mine.
I have a Passport account for the Microsoft Newsgroups and for my MSDN Universal subscription. I would constantly have to relogin to these sites whenever I opened the browser, even if I had already logged in to the other site. It was like a Single-Sign On system with multiple sign ons.
Yeah, I'm sure that eBay and Amazon want to make sure they limit all of their customer base to only those people running a brand new OS. Sure.
And in case you didn't realize, the system you are describing is already built into Windows XP. It's name? Microsoft Passport. You can tie your Windows account directly into your Passport account so you don't have to login. Look how well that's worked.
Please, try to learn a little more about what you are talking about before making some stupid comment. Of course, if you're after karma, all you need to do is say something conspiratorial about M$ and you'll be fine.
The PSP doesn't support AVI, it supports the UMD movie discs. It doesn't appear yet that you are going to be able to play your own movie content.
However, Nintendo is releasing an add-on for the DS and GBA SP that will allow for playing of custom video and audio content that looks to be around $50.
I'm still curious as to how much the PSP is going to cost in the US. As mentioned at the bottom of this article that appeared earlier on Slashdot, they said a straight conversion of the price from Japan would be around $460. I'm not sure how accurate that is considering I kept hearing that the price in Japan would convert to around $185 in the US.
Mod me off-topic if you like, but I'm too lazy to go find an answer to this.
I'm thinking about getting WoW, but I'm curious if I want to purchase two accounts (one for me and one for my wife) so we can play on seperate machines, do I need to purchase two full copies of the game? Or will one copy with two paid accounts be enough?
If the next Nintendo console doesn't have nice online support like the XBox, I will be switching cnosoles.
Re:Duh ! ... It's an exe + bootstrap for JIT

A .Net CPU

1) the.exe bootstraper is never executed in Windows server 2003 which recognizes.net apps natively
By that, I hope you mean that Windows Server 2003 recognizes the native.NET managed executable format, and so it properly loads it using the.NET runtime, which still must JIT the code, right?
Your statement kind of sounded like you were saying.NET code doesn't need to be JIT'ed to run in Windows 2003 which ain't true.
Yes, I can actually hear that line now in my head. I wonder if there is anyplace you can download in game scenes like that in video form. That would be cool.
I remember the opening movie for WCII. There was this one scene of a large ship that kind of dipped down in a swoop while flying on the screen and it looked all 3d. We were in such awe.
And then there was my crappy machine that couldn't handle syncing the video with the audio. In the opening scene when one of those tiger aliens (can't remember their name for the life of me right now), makes this gesture like he's grasping something in mid-air, and he says something about having something in his hands, my machine would choke and he would make the motion a few seconds before saying the line. Ah, the good ol' days.
I can imagine the strange looks from people who would walk in on a session of this game. "hey how you 'booom chic cha boom wiki wiki waaa boom' doing?"
I think most surprising for me was how having a dedicated sound card, rather than using on-board sound really affects the performance. I've never been one to care for sound quality, so I haven't bothered with purchasing an actual sound card for my system, but I didn't realize that the onboard sound uses up CPU.
That's probably the only upgrade I'll really need to make before I get the game.

Maybe these might help? (the first isn't the same error, but the resolution might help)
Ultimately, nv4_disp.dll is part of the nVidia driver, so you may want to try reinstalling the drivers. If that file doesn't change after reinstalling it, you may need to find some way to forcibly remove it to update it.

You're forgetting the license fee they get for each game sold for the XBox also.
Ultimately, XBox gaming (if they make a profitable console next time around) will be much better for Microsoft than PC Gaming ever was.

You're what, like 14? 15?
I don't mean it as a slam, I'm honestly curious.
It sure is strange that when one corrects themself, there is still an influx of people who feel the need to come correct you still. :-)
I already replied to myself correcting my statement about the AVI's. As for the Yahoo! article, I thought that sounded wrong.
Totally disregard my first two sentences. I should probably RTFA.

I actually bought "Return to Zork" on floppies. Rather than real full video, you just had these strangely animated pictures.
