Yep that's all! And how many times have we been attacked inside the US in that time? Zero. I like those odds.
Remember one of the reasons 9/11 happened is because the different agencies had no legal means of doing some of the necessary investigation they wanted to do. Go ahead and moderate me as a troll. I'm only speaking facts.
Yeah, before Linux was considered a threat by MS, performance was king and getting the most out of a 486 meant moving things like the UI into the kernel. Now that MS sees Linux as a threat stability is king.
In fact, I'd like to see an ability in Vista Server to shut down the UI completely unless someone is actually using the system in an interactive mode.
If you have Windows XP, install SpeedswitchXP on it. It will allow better control over the speedstep settings. On my HP laptop I have it set to "Max. Performance" when on AC and "Max. Battery" when on battery. It really helps out on battery times.
I'm wondering if this may have been intentional or that Apple may be using it as a way to get more people on to iTunes 6. For 1. giving access to video content and/or 2. Get them using iTunes 6 so that they can't use Jhymn
This is the way see it. MS has probably rewritten the standard libraries for the Xbox so that they route calls to the appropriate places on the 360. The main executable has been recompiled for PPC and linked against these new libraries. The majority of what is on the DVD is not executable but audio, textures and video. So the game launches from the HD and still grabs the meat of what it needs from the DVD. Maybe the games that aren't working are the ones that attempt to bypass the DirectX-like interface that the Xbox games normally use, or games that use an extensive amount of x86 assembly.
nettdata: Tell me how I can one day be as cool as you. There's a difference between monitoring internet access and monitoring every packet on the network. The internet access typically comes into a single point, usually over a fiber optic line for larger facilities. It is easy enough to monitor incoming packets and tell their destinations. Ports on the switches at the end of the line terminate in the student's room. There's your finger pointing to who's going where. You can log the ARP cache and tie MAC addresses to indivdial PCs. Wireless may add some complexity to it but you still have MAC addresses. Hell even if they keep changing network cards you can dust the cards for fingerprints.
Only in Microsoft's wettest dreams is it not allowed to reeuse a copy of windows on a newer PC.
Ever tried to install a Dell/HP/E-Machines/etc OEM copy of XP on anything else? It won't boot up, it throws you an error that your system isn't the same brand as what the XP disc was sold for use with.
Oh I forgot to mention in case anyone didn't know. Dave Prowse was Hotblack Desiato's body guard in the HitchHikers Guide TV series.... Just a bit of trivia.
Dave Prowse was on a local radio station here a few years back when EP-II had just been released. He had said that he was never told about James Earl Jones until he saw the first screening. The whole time during New Hope he was voicing all the lines in the suit. He kept asking how are they going to deal with the muffling and they said they could fix it in post. So imagine his suprise hearing a new voice during the first screening. I had hoped that the station would have asked him to do HIS vader voice but they didn't.
Luckily my local PBS station runs unedited BBC shows on the weekend evenings. Including nudity. I don't know how they can do it, I would have been sure someone would have complained.
I'm just making this up, but it is very much like this, you'll do a search for something like diarrhea remedies on google and see "Buy Diarrhea now on Ebay!" Ebay must have registered every word in the english language. I'm just waiting for someone to be doing history research on slavery and get an Ebay ad "Buy slaves now on Ebay!"
That is true. That's why I used an XP CD I got from work to reload my dell laptop at home. It was SP2 (while mine wasn't even SP1) and doesn't require activation.
You can use a key extractor and see that it already has a a key built in. There's tools on the net that let you rebuild an XP CD with an embedded key but you'll still have to activate. If it is an OEM CD and the brand matches the CD, typically you won't have to activate, but apparently MS is trying to change that now.
We had a computer center that was "donated" to us by Microsoft. There were banners hanging all around it saying stuff like "Welcome to the Microsoft Computer Lab" It was about 1999 or so, and all the PCs were Dell GXa and GXi PCs with removable hard drive trays. I was going to be taking MCSE courses for Windows NT 4.0 at the time. I finished Networking Essentials and Windows NT 4.0, but shortly after took a job where one of the requirements was that the person NOT be an MCSE because they were tired of MCSEs. They said they picked me because I didn't have an MCSE and I knew what I was talking about.
Microsoft Document Image format or.MDI . The files were actually a bit smaller than PDFs as well. But you had to have a new version of office to view them (Unless there is a free viewer like there is for.PPT files, I never checked)

That's pretty shitty.
For writing unmaintainable code, violating company development practices, or they catch on to you.

It wasn't that long ago that you could still order a computer from Dell with 64mb ram and Windows XP.

450$ per student? Is the DOD still using 5000$ hammers as well? This is just as simple as putting in a DSL line for the FBI and a VPN box.
I wonder if they ever found that tuna sandwich I shoved in the air vent before I left?

Alright! Truth=troll! Nice!
In Europe they'd just release them into the general population and make them "pinky-swear" to be good.

That it is HD-DVD but without DRM. I fully support this effort!
