please mr balmer get this wga thingy to work properly. i want everyone using windows having to pay for it. no more key generators, no more cracks and patches.
want to run it, shovel your money to m$.
Back in those days when television meant large and heavy glass tubes operated at high voltages (about 5 years ago) Philips build TV-sets with an auto-shutdown mechanism. You push the Off-button and the set goes to standby. Now push it again or don't activate for 30 minutes (configurable) and the TV ejects to main power button. No power consumption at all now.
Great feature! Don't know if they use this 'technology' nowadays.
It seems do be very expensive/difficult/... because I haven't seen it with Sony, Pioneer,...
I don't think Captcha is the right thing for this. There are legitimate information coming from non-humans, and spam from humans. With Captcha you only filter mails from non-humans, not spam as you don't look at the content.
But wait, there are those dumb-as-bread humans. They won't be able to send any mail either. Captcha seems a good idea after all.;-)
I think the porting of the wmf format to vista is not a bad thing. (You are right, after all it is just a file format.)
But porting SetAbortProc including the severe error is something else. Not something to make fun about, because it shows that M$ hasn't learned that much.
you can do that now (2005), but what about 2010, 2015? will it be mandatory then?
remember the fritz-chip in TCPA which will soon be part of the main processor. it will not be that easy to deactivate this in near future.
American workers are the hardest and most productive workers in the world.
Damn, that's what the union is telling me about us german workers here, too.;-)
I really liked to hear that from time to time. You ruined my day, thank you very much.;-)
IBM wants to drop the Notes Client and move most of its functions to a java interface. I don't know if this makes things better or worse.
Some (all?) functionality of the Domino server will go somewhere into WebSphere. Again, will this be better? I don't know. Will customers follow? I don't think so (at least not very willingly).
But you can get the Notes client to run on Linux. You just have to use Wine to install and run it. IBM even has an article about it. It's not native but works great for me.
no, this program won't keep those secrets. what it will keep secret is the incriminating evidence -- the smoking gun e-mail where the tobacco exec says "addict kids" or the ms exec says "spread fud on open source." the only secrets this program will keep are the secrets we pay journalists to uncover for the public good -- the secrets that expose the lies that companies present to the public.
I don't think they will stop even this. If I want to leak information I will certainly find a way to do so.
If it's important I'll get myself a digicam, I'll make a screenshot, I'll use terminal services, I'll use VNC. Hell, I'll even speak it into my MP3 player and type it into my typewriter at home.
Noone is going to stop me from leaking information if there's a secret to leak.
M$ cannot stop it. At least not this way. Companies have to ask them why information gets out. It's employees hateing their work, big money from the outside buying insiders,... You cannot block this with DRM. I think you cannot block this at all.
4) Since there's no reason for them to need to send it out *not* through the ISP as a relay host, the majority of these users are spammers or just ignorant. In the first case, it's good to block them. In the second, maybe they will get a clue.
Here in germany the biggest ISP is t-online. They do have a smtp relay (naturally). But they rewrite your adress to *@t-online.de regardless from which address you are sending. Oh, I forgot, you can free yourself from this burdon. Just give them 2 Euros a month and they don't do this rewriting thing to your mail.

they should try to download it from the internet. I'm sure it's there already.
ever heard of internet cafes?

you do believe the world is a flat disc and elvis is still alive, don't you? ;-)
i'd say it's time for an open source flash player, if there isn't one already.

But the whole system is useless (even dangerous) if the hash server is compromised.
The resulting increase of linux usage would also solve the problem of few games being produced for the linux platform.
Full ACK. It's just a question of people wanting something. If there's a market, there is always someone filling that market.
