No, that disables Windows' automatic launching of a media player to handle the audio portion of the CD, not Windows' automatic launching of any random EXE pointed to by the autorun.inf. Messing around with the policy editor or TweakUI for XP (god bless that paranoia tab) is the only way to prevent autoplay.
They could have a character in the power suit, battling shit, talking in a distorted asexual voice, blowing crap up, and generally being a badass. Then Samus reaches up, takes off the helmet....

Shocking twist! All the fanboys never saw it coming.
The space.com article mentions that the orbital path of these pseudo moons eventually allows them to escape the gravitational pull of the sun, at which time they presumably bugger off and make themselves a cup of tea.
Looking at the java applet, the orbital path of this thing looks very much like the orbital path of Pluto, only on a smaller scale. Does anyone know if there are any predictions of Pluto heading off for a cuppa in the next few millennia?
OK, now instead of creating a poxy one table "test document", open MS Word, create a document with actual content, apply liberal and inconsistent formatting, and then use spaces to line things up (you know, just like you are a regular office secretary who doesn't know you can use tab stops or other 'tricky' things like that). Insert a table if you like. Be sure to use bullet points, and add headers and footers.
Once done, save into Word 97 format. Now get OpenOffice to open that and make it look like it did in Word. It's just about impossible.
When a document is created in a sane way (by a person who has experience with Word), OpenOffice works like a charm. Unfortunately, most people aren't experienced with Word (and most "training" doesn't tell them what they need to know, like why it keeps changing the font if you move to the last line), and they create crappy documents. As soon as the document looks different in OO, they *hate* the new software, and it often never gets a second chance.

It's ironic that you posted your rant AC. In a discussion much about having the guts to speak your mind publicly, it's clear that you certainly do not.
There's always some self-righteous fucktard willing to take a snipe at someone posting AC, but unless your parents named you mcpkaaos, you should definitely be shutting the fuck up right about now.
Ph33r also my mind-numbingly shocking command of English, and my consistently retarded inability to put semicolons on the end of my entities! Cower in awe of the fact that I obviously did not even LOOK at the web page after I created it! I am so l33t.
If Fox (fucking Fox) can figure out that they made a mistake and bring back Family Guy after cancelling it, then maybe, just maybe, the SciFi idiots can finally pay for the fifth season of Farscape they promised.
I've bought each and every boxed season set of Farscape so far... where's my goddamn fix?
It's a stupid word some cock coined in order to burn my eyes from their sockets every time it's mentioned on slashdot.
More specifically, it's 'using game engines to make movies'. Some of the movies are quite good, and are often best coming from sites that don't use the word 'machinima', like Red Vs Blue.
If only because burnt CDs will last for a fraction as long as properly pressed ones. Your selected burnt-on-demand albums *will* be completely unusable long before traditional-style pre-pressed ones would be.
Sounds like a myth to me - I've got data on CDR that still works fine, and has for years. But if it's true, what's to stop me making a backup of that purchased CDR for myself, or for a friend if they don't have a burner of their own? Hell, some STEREOS have burners built into them now, and you can buy a cheap PC taiwanese knock-off burner for around US$50 or less. Given the low cost of just about all PC hardware now, it'll be pretty hard to not have or know someone who has a machine capable of duplicating a CD.
Insist on quality, not just short-term convenience!
Tell you what - you insist on quality, and pay through the nose for it on the rare occasion a truly great CD comes out. I'll insist on convenience, selection, and lower price. Mmmkay? There's a market there for both of us.

If the sizes of our files are measured according to this industry standard, why should the size of our disks not be? It is misleading to the semi-computer-literate user - the one who wants to store files on his new drive.
(Yes, I know that's not what you meant by addressed... I put quotes there, get over it)
Why not just change the rules and make "it" a valid substitute for "he/she" situations?
That's even more annoying... it gets confusing as to whether they're talking about a person or a situation or an object...
You can usually figure out what is meant from context, but that usually means constant re-reading. I like reading and all, but not so much that I want to read the same paragraph three times just to get the idea. Communication should be the goal, not "political correctness" (a meaningless term, used to mean "something that doesn't offend dipshits").
... considering that the question likely asked of it ten thousand times per nanosecond is going to be "Computer, find porn"
On the other hand, I imagine this:
"Microsoft search! Find porn" "Your search will cost $4.99 per minute. Say 'I Accept' to accept these charges, which will be billed directly to..." "I accept already! Hurry up" "Search for prawn commencing... 1% complete" "No! No! PORN!" "Search cannot be interrupted. 2% complete" "FUCK!"
From the article: "To do this would require a lot of prep. You'd have to heat the road surface. You'd have to have special equipment. An operation like this would take some time and if you wanted to avoid being seen while you were installing something like this it would require some planning. Whoever did this has fairly sophisticated know-how."
Also from the article: "You say you first saw this seven years ago?" she asked incredulously. She stared at the tile and shook her head. "I work just a few blocks away and I've never even noticed it."
Some guy could've taken ALL AFTERNOON to do this, and no-one would pay even the slightest bit of attention to what was happening around them. People are self-absorbed, almost no-one pays any attention to things around them, even things that are out of the ordinary. When was the last time you saw someone even turn their head when a car alarm went off?

Your 'informative' score is decidedly undeserved.
Snort up For Revamp, says Creator
Well shit. If GOD is telling us to do it, how can we possibly condone laws against it?
Snort up for revamp? Hell, I snort up for breakfast.
And most importantly, how many floppy disks is this equivalent too?
Floppy disk (n): Low cost media designed to store data for x-1 seconds, where x is the time required to get the data to it's intended destination.
This thing will never match that functionality.
In the special edition, Greedo fires the first shot, forcing Han to "retaliate" by killing Greedo in self-defense.
It wouldn't have been so mind-numbingly bad if Greedo hadn't fired a shot like a retarded monkey after a nice fat bag of crack.
"I'm taking you in, Solo, but first I'm going to fire my pistol at that spider crawling up the wall a foot up and to the right!"

during the middle of steamy love scene, you'll see "Got Milk" crawling along the bottom of the screen.
I can imagine it during the cumshot, myself.
Got Milk?
*chick with jizz all over her face*
Where's your mustache?
How long are you going to leave that coffee cup on the table? Don't you ever wash your dishes.
But of course she'd put a question mark on the end, because otherwise that's really shocking Mom advice.
Look in amazment of my leet modding skillz.

And so I browse at 1 and see mentions of Farscape coming back after all... missed the slashdot story because it was on my birthday.
The universe plays some funny goddamn tricks on me.
happy birthday to me!

can you tell us exactly what is "Machinima"?
It's a stupid word some cock coined in order to burn my eyes from their sockets every time it's mentioned on slashdot.

Ahh, but storage IS 'addressed' that way.

I have a BS. I guess I have no shot at all.
That's not true. You only need to look at SCO and Microsoft to see the value of BS.

Don't hold your DickBreath.
More likely it'll encourage Microsoft to patent every stolen 'innovation', every stupid obvious incremental improvement, and police them aggressively.

Intellectual Property is only valid when it's in the same field you happen to work in? What's worse is, you get modded insightful.
I don't believe IP is valid, but apparently you do - when it suits you.
