Windows Embedded would be perfect for the grandparent because it allows you to cut off the components you don't need, but it can also be exactly the same as XP pro depending on how you build it. Windows Embedded is basically exactly what the grandparent was imagining, here today for a huge price.
Not to mention that iTunes will let you download it again onto the same PC. But I see the grandparent's point-this is the beginning of a slippery slope to the point where you can't back up or download what you bought. We have to stop it now before it's too late.
And Hasbro really shouldn't be asking for code. Even if the name was trademark infringement the game code sure wasn't and belongs to Jared. It's his Intellectual Property(there, I said it) and he shouldn't have to give it up to a company due to a mostly unrelated case having to do with its name.
But quite a few daemons and various other processes run as root on an OS X box. If someone finds and exploits a hole in one of these applications you're in trouble. Thankfully, adding to the already fairly secure OSX is that all the 1337 h4xx0r d00ds have no experience with shellcodes and the like on OS X and therefore it would take someone with skill(not most of the h4xx0r d00ds) to exploit a hole.
I recommend the Qbasic "Gorillaz" demo, where monkeys would throw banannas at each other. It's complex enough to be entertaining but simple enough that you could show the colors changing or the banannas flying differently. Source is here,
though you may have trouble finding a copy of Qbasic.
Embedded is the exact same as Windows XP Professional with selectable components. If you tried hard enough you could make a "real" XP Pro with XP embedded.
Yes. IBM still uses OS/2 Warp for all its service equipment for its mainframes(with DVD-RAM no less for backup), ESCON directors, and pretty much all the other "big" hardware they sell. It works perfectly for its intended purpose.
That was the US and the Children's Internet Protection Act, which still exists in a watered-down form. The act originally required offensive and or porn sites to post a warning and require you to agree you were over 18 before you could enter. I think it was actually made law before the Supreme Court struck down the idiodic part. BTW this passed during the Clinton administration so it's not always the conservatives(this time it is though, there are about 6 liberals in Utah).
The sensors are calibrated so that scientists on Earth know exactly how much of each mineral/rock there is in a sample, not just relative amounts. What I don't understand is why this is a big deal. If the sensor files are calibrated on Earth after we get the raw sensor data the people at NASA can take their old raw data and run it through the right calibrator. If the calibration is done on the rovers(which would be stupid) or they lost the raw data(stupider) they could run the data through a reverse calibrator on earth and then recalibrate it.
Except for that the Intel-comperable numbering scheme, at least on the Athlon 64, is about the same as the CPU benchmarks to. An Athlon 64 3000+ benchmarks about the same as a P4 3.0. And so on.
OK...Sec 1201(a)(1)(A): No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title. So...it's not really legal.
Did you ever look at Windows XP Embedded? I know this is slashdot and this won't go over too well, but XP embedded is actually(from my experience) OK for robotics. It's basically XP with a utility that lets you remove components such as the GUI, disk drive support, and the like to make it more configurable and less bloated. Admittedly Linux might still be better though, I've never used it for an embedded application besides the PDA.
I second that. Even though they seem dumb to a lot of people Bejeweled and Bejewled 2 are some of the best and most addicting games ever. Yes it is a good $20 to spend.
To answer parent+grandparent: No and I agree. You cannot run OSX on qemu yet there's a cd emulation problem(see the qemu compatability page for more). I personally have a copy of 10.3 on PearPC. It's perfectly useable for web/email, though office is really slow. But I have a lowly P4 2.4, so others may have better experiences.
HMM...let's think...maybe that you aren't using all of your CPU all of the time. If you do clock scaling right it doesn't affect performance at all. This is the same as saying you should run your car at whatever RPM it gets max horsepower at because "that's what you paid for." And the excuse...let's think...power? My P4 systems used to throw breakers in my house. I had to WIRE UP A WHOLE CIRCUIT for each 2 of 8 computers in my house to prevent breaker trips/fires/etc. So yeah I'd say this is a good idea. BTW AMD uses thermal management/throttling too.
Yep...Read any little XP CDKey label up to the very latest XP with SP2 ones which don't say it. "Windows XP Professionial 1-2CPU." It's been this way since Windows NT 4.0.
Sorry to get so offtopic, but I wouldn't call it groupthink. Groupthink implies thinking as a group. I'd call this more of herd instinct, because few people are thinking. Anyway, yes, as soon as someone gets a post to 3 it usually goes clear up to 5 because people with modpoints are too afraid to think for themselves and do original moderation but need to use points.
There's Opie Konqueror and also a version of Opera that was made for the Sharp Zaurus. The Opera was really quite good but had some page rendering issues(there's no pocket browser that doesn't). Konqueror is sorta hard to use but has the KHTML renderer.
How is my parent post troll. It's what I think about the situation. It is pretty commonly known that Microsoft amongst many other large corporations have teams of patent infringment lawyers out not to defend the patent but make money. I don't think google has these. So I see no troll.
So, because Google is still "good" (but for how long???), they can own a stupid patent like this, and because MicroSloth is "bad", they can't???
Yeah, because Google didn't register the patent and it's not their fault it's stupid. And Google would probably not use the patent for predatory purposes like Microsoft who right now probably have a team of lawyers finding people to sue for patent infringement.
Or, y'know, you could just aboveground grab the wireless. Just set up an 802.11b antenna(I've seen them for $5) in the neighbor's window. Then invest in stuff that supports WPA because WEP can be cracked with enough data packets. For $50 setup you have wireless to neighbor.

It's Firefox. If you enter a term that's not valid, like two https, it searches for it, then takes you to the first result, which is oddly microsoft.
This isn't even true anyway-overwriting EIP to Kernel32->NtReadFileEx with random registers and stack will bluescreen the system. No drivers needed.
