    Also, cant you just make an NT/W2K/XP machine login as a specified user (like generic_student) on boot, anyway? My roommates XP machine doesnt make him login at all.

    In XP, if u only have 1 account it won't ask for a login or password however if you go into User Accounts in Control Panel and turn off the Welcome screen it will start to prompt for a username and password. As soon as you have multiple accounts defined though (and the Welcom screen turned on) it will list the available user IDs but a user must still choose the desired userID and enter the correct password. For win2k you can tell it to (during installation) to always sign on with the account you created during installation (I would assume that setting is hidden somewhere in the registry so you could modify it later if you wanted, like if you had previously told it to always prompt for a login.)

    I got tivo four years ago and instantly fell deeply in love with it. That love continues to this day, but has changed form. About a year ago, I realized that my giddy passion had given way to serenity,

    Is your wife jealous of the Tivo now? Is a divorce in the works? All men are the same. geez.

    So where is the ROI for the US Space Program? BIllions (maybe even trillions) spent and yet we haven't gotten much out of it (yay, some cool technology at how much?). Technology doesn't bring food to the populace, just look at the US for that.

    The Indians actually think their ROI will be great? They have another thing coming.

    Maybe India should concentrate on making sure more people have food and medicine than trying to get into space where no starving people (or any people) reside. Same can be said for the US as well.

    well saying that windows would take up a lot more space if its own source was included as well as the source for the few "applications" that come with it pretty much says that it would be more cds too if you actually got as much as you do when you buy linux. The original point was that linux was bloated, but linux itself is not and the distros just provide a ton of applications to with it to make it more useful OOB than windows.

    I didn't read the article but I don't see anyone mentioning AMD in this other than that they are not involved in the design of this new BIOS. The question I have is why? Why wouldn't AMD want to be involved? I'm sure if 2 CPU manufacturers are involved it would help calm of the nerves of everyone on /. Maybe Intel and MS kicked AMD out of the discussion. It's hard to say. Maybe we should tell AMD to get involved?

    I see no reason, other than the bible(which cannot be used to justify laws in the US)

    Except that the Bible is used already for marriages which justifies the union of hte man and woman in the US.

    Btw, lots of things can be between consenting adults but the courts need to realize that they need to uphold a certain level of standards within society. Without laws there is chaos.

    Courts ruled progressively on gay marriage, and now the RIAA is put in its place. Strike down the Patriot Act and the good old USA is almost back on track. Gotta love that glimmer of hope.

    Ruling for gay marriage is progress? Being able to marry anything you want is a glimmer of hope? I assume now that marriage (at least in MA) doesn't have to apply to JUST a man and a woman that you intend to marry your hamster next spring? That's what it's going to mean, that you can marry anything you want. Marriage won't be any special, sacred institution anymore between a man and a woman. I've always felt that only the good ol' US of A can let gay and lesbians (a minority mind you) force the creation of new laws in this country regardless of the standards and morals of the majority.

    The timing of these magnetic pulses has to be extremely precise, especially when the trains are traveling at over 300km/hr! If just one electromagnet attracts when it should be repelling, the train will crash.

    And how is that crash possible when it's only 1 magnet that messed up and the amount of time at 300kph that the train would be next to that segment is so small that the wrong magnetic effect at that point in time would be basically zero. If anything it would slow the train down and by the time the train is past that segment, because of the small amount of exposure to that segment, the train would still be going at the same speed because the effect is big enough. Not to mention the fact that the trains wrap around the track and not just sit on top like a regular train does. In order to crash the trains would have to literally pull the track with them in order to "derail".
