VM Ware seems to notice control-alt-delete easy enough. It doesn't try to stop the message, but it tells you to type a different combo for the virtual machine.
Somewhat unrelated, but a response to others: In Win2k at least, there is a switch to set whether control alt delete must be pressed on bootup. Perhaps you can in XP?
You may be right.
I open up MS Word XP. I create a new document and save it. File properties, file size? 24,064 bytes. That's right, a blank piece of paper has 24 pages worth of plain text in formatting.

How about UDP? It's IP based, but doesn't have the overhead of TCP.
For people who wouldn't know this kind of stuff, TCP does much to ensure that every packet arrives as it was sent. This adds overheard, but it's hardly ever seen by any end user because it's pretty universal. UDP has no error checking, so it isn't fit for anything where any particular packet matters. On the plus side, overhead is severely reduced. I imagine UDP is used for streaming audio and video, but I don't know.
I find those commercials funny,the ones saying that pirating movies takes money away from stage hands, etc.
Is it that hard to not pay 1 or 2 people on the set outragous amounts of money? I mean, going to the heart of it, it doesn't matter who is actually acting in a movie at all. as long as they do a good job. Take any good movie and put in mediocre actors. If it's bad then, we'll then it wasn't a good movie to begin with.
You take these actors, and force them to baically play the same personality movie after movie. Movies are even made for specific actors. What the hell is going on?
Here's how it works. Don't blow ~$100 million on actors don't blow ~$200 million on advertising. I'll pay $5 to see your movie if I find the plot interesting. If it turns out it was a great success, then the actors, crews get paid by how much of a success it was. You make a bad movie, you don't make $50 million for it.

Let's play a numbers game. It's a great CD but only 2 million copies are sold. $17 * 2 million - (2 million * ~.35$) - RIAA = $19.95. That's still enough for plenty of Ramen.
So by your own words, you then know everyone elses secrets. Everyone knows everything about everyone. Well there goes crime-- that's certainly a secret even before you do it. Sorry were you trying to scare me or make a Utopia?

You're looking at a gigabyte, I'm looking at a terabyte. Thanks for showing the same problem exists for just a gig though.
This does really matter from advertising, and one has to wonder how long they are allowed to lie. 1024 bytes aren't far from 1000, but how about a terabyte harddrive? With the current trend, you'd only get 91% of what you expect.
Yeah I know people afraid of every kind of field in existence. Even a solid state magnet scares them. I'm sure we'll have lots of emotional lawsuits about how a specific frequency in the ghz range is ruining someone's life (modern cordless phones), and they'll win millions based on nothing.

The arguments made in this thread against hybrids are pretty silly, and admittedly, I have the same view about most sports cars.
Sports cars are ugly. They're usually smaller than the people who drive them, and overly bumpy. They enjoy adding curves to the car kind of the same way in cartoons they add muscles to people where there aren't any in real life. They sound horrible, as if someone fired a tommy gun into the engine block and/or muffler. The mileage is awful. They only fit two people. If you get into any crash over 30 mph, you're dead. They can't hold anything. The gas mileage STILL sucks somehow.
Now I look at a hybrid. It takes less gas. It doesn't have tons of money poured into performance over 100 mph (money completely wasted). They have frames that can take much more of an impact. They can hold a lot more cargo AND people. IMHO they are better looking the same way a full bodied woman looks better than an anorexic. Oh and obviously they cost far less, go much farther, and repair much cheaper.
If you have a small penis, absolutely, get a sports car. If OTOH you have a brain, get whatever suits your needs, certainly do not submit to peer pressure or buy a car to impress someone. It's way too important for that crap.
I am by no means a good arguer, so don't expect anything else from me on it. Don't expect anything else on it (for at least a long while) from any talking heads as they all committed themselves to the battle in ways which do not make logical sense.
Just to restate: An advertisement is a self promoting dialog usually addressed at some particular audience. If it is to be deemed protected speech, then there must be some category that it would fit under, as most would agree not all forms of speech are protected (such as grafitti, which is a passage of words that is thoroughly against the law), speech creating a public disturbance, or causing a panic (yelling 'fire' in a movie theater is against the law, for instance), or just being insulting to people.
Many advertisements are made to do several of these things. Drug companies are very well known for causing panics, as were companies hoping to scoop profits after September 11th. Advertisements are insulting in that they target audiences with obvious disinterest in the product. Advertisements are a public disturbance-- this is an opinion of the public, and afterall that's what matters.
No, I think the only reason for the spam people to argue is how would things work without it, and that's simply not a valid argument.
I am against this argument in every way shape and form. I see absolutely no connection between freedom of speech and press, with that of advertising. And even aside from that it's not advertising being targeted, it's misuse of a medium. If you want to pull a freedom of speech defense, then look at it this way: Everyone running for every position anywhere in the (your country here) sends you multiple messages telling you to vote for them and why, even if they aren't even in the same voting area. When these people ask my mom if she wants her penis enlarged, they immediately show they do not have a targeted audience for a given product, but are merely making electronic graffiti.
But back to what I said originally-- advertising is not speech. There are no people preaching freedom of speech in Maine where billboards along the interstate are illegal. What do you see? McDonalds next rest stop. That's not a billboard-- I don't know if I'd even call it an advertisement, more of a public notice.
What if someone got a ham radio system and broadcasted over every public frequency an ad, say every 5 minutes? What if they could write them all over the sky such as the batman light? Is capability excusability?

No it couldn't. Well it COULD have but then it wouldn't have survived for any good length of time. You can't type that with one hand.
The question really on all our minds is can you play doom on it?

I agree entirely. I assume we're talking about clinical immortality (don't be run over by a truck), not some sort of fancy mythological mortality.
It'd be interesting as to see around what age the brain gets full. Oh wait that's 14.
