Vista would be first. I'm sure there are kits you can buy from shady groups in Eastern Europe or Russia that will do the trick immediately.
Different class of exploit.
Your average Vista install's destiny is to become part of a botnet. That doesn't requre the type of remote cracking that's being set up in this test, just a trojan embedded in a shiny cursor app.
Windows botnets tend to be herded by Linux servers which have been individually cracked, which is what this test is about.
But I started my FPS gaming with Wolf3D, Duke 3D, and Descent, went through the Quakes and the Unreals and I'm 46. Still love a good 3D game, though I prefer ones with a good single-player mode.
I'd rate Half Life 2 as the most satifying game I've played recently.
The point though is that Abstinence is going to be taught in places where it is by Sex that AIDS is spreading. In those places Abstinence works 100% of the time.
I was trying to work out if you were taking the piss, but you're not, are you?
Abstinence teaching has never reduced AIDS anywhere. In many areas where abstinence-only programs have been preached, infection rates have risen.
It never ceased to amaze me how you religious types can close your minds to all the real evidence while pushing your dangerous dogma despite the evident harm it causes.
Me neither. Even if this was not on Linux, I would never install a crappy plugin just to see pictures. Why the hell couldn't they just use GIF/JPG/PNG like everybody else?

Because... I don't think too many real geeks will be revisiting the page. It reads a lot like those try-hard Christian comics that tell you how hip and cool they are in lieu of actually being hip or cool.
Stereotypical Asian female geek with binary-printed coffee cup:
Imagine a daily web comic that adapts tech stories from actual pros like us into a - a mystery or adventure.
Then it'd be fun and authentic! Goatee'd Indian guy with call-centre headphone/mic glued to his ear:
A web comic reflecting our real lives? Hahaha. They'd never do that. Right...
While high-end computers are definitely in 64-bit territory now, I think the low end these days would be happy to dwell on 32-bit machines awhile longer
I don't think I've bought a machine with a 32 bit CPU in the past year. Almost all mainstream CPUs have been 64 bit for a while now.
I would switch to Linux today if I could install on the NVRaid array I use for windows
NVRAID is just software RAID with assistance from the BIOS so it'll work under Windows.
Linux doesn't need the BIOS hack to do software RAID, so you can ignore that option and just use a distro that natively installs to soft RAID. The performance will be the same.
This is one of the consequences of a long-term effort by the previous Howard government to boost the power of the AFP and ASIO and to erode civil liberties in Australia. Howard's support for Bush was more than just lip service.
Keelty in particular has been deeply involved in the more unsavoury side of recent failed prosecutions, including allowing the detention and slander of suspects to continue even though he know there was no evidence.
In many ways, Keelty's reticence is understandable, given that he was slapped down by Howard for saying AFP intelligence showed Australia's involvement in Iraq was increasing our exposure to terrorism, but this response - burying evidence yet again - is just wrong.
22 "Now it came about that the poor man died and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried.
23 "And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue; for I am in agony in this flame.'
25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.
26 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, in order that those who wish to come over from here to you may not be able, and [that] none may cross over from there to us."
I was thinking the same, but I think the N800 would be considered an extremely high-end smart phone if it was in fact a phone.
I don't think so - my Sony Ericsson M600i is about as slow as smartphones get with a 208MHz ARM. Treo 750s use the Samsung equivalent at 300MHz, while most other Windows Mobile machines seem to be ARM or equivalents at 400-600MHz. The N800 with OS2008 is just deceptively responsive given the middling CPU.
I also found the browsing experience on my N800 better with Opera's browser than with Mozilla, but I'm hoping that it'll improve with time.
Yep, it has a slightly unfinished feel, though I do personally prefer it to the Opera version, but it's not slow. I hadn't noticed a problem with the text entry fields. Probably will now you've brought my attention to it...
And the EU has achieved real change, beyond fines and a separate packaged version of Windows that essentially no one uses?
Yes.
The Software Freedom Law Center got the protocol documents for Microsoft workgroup networking, which they were supposed to make available in 2004.
The EU agreement also weakens Microsoft's FUD about Linux and other FOSS violating its patents. They now have to disclose patents covering its workgroup protocols so developers will be able to show their code doesn't infringe.
Apparently the spreadsheet spec says nothing about how formulaes are supposed to work for example.
Stop spreading this FUD.
Microsoft introduced it way back in 2006, and it was debunked immediately.
There's only one side fighting dirty. Microsoft keeps trying to spin this as though it's evil competitors trying to hurt poor little MS.
It's not.
It's Microsoft fighting its own customers desire for free formats. Competitors don't pay monopoly rents for locked in products. Customers do, and Microsoft wants to keep it that way.
Between 2001 and 2007, IE6 was virtually the only game in town. Viruses targeting it cost companies fortunes.
In a competitive environment, there would have been a continuous improvement of products as companies leapfrogged each other with new and better features. In the monopoly environment though, with IE6 bundled, Mozilla had to produce a browser that was an order of magnitude better than IE to gain even a small market share.
Except it won't really compete since it will be slower than all other mobile browsers. It will require an extremely high-end phone
WTF?
Where did that little bit of FUD come from? I'm using Firefox Mobile on my Nokia N800 right now, and it's very responsive. The Nokia only has a 330MHz OMAP processor, which is a slower than most Windows Mobile phones, let alone being "extremely high-end".

I have imbibed entire nascent civilsations with a single swig of my primordial G&T.
It's a business plan.
The US may be having diffiulty with Open Source voting, but other http://www.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2003/11/61045">parts of the world have been doing it successfully for the past 5 years.
The benefits include the opportunity for privacy for disabled voters and illiterate people as well as reducing counting errors and costs.

NVRAID is just software RAID with assistance from the BIOS so it'll work under Windows.

How about addressing the technical issues debunked instead of just making accusations.
Except that rewrite was abandoned late 2004 and the actual Vista which hit the shrinkwrap was based on the Windows Server 2003 codebase, aka XP/2000.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
Don't be.

A lot of people.
Finland's EFFI demonstrated the overall level of vote-buying with their analysis of corruption levels in P countries.
Both the FFI and IBM rep present at the Swedish meeting protested about the vote stacking there.
In Portugal it was the Sun and IBM reps who lodged complaints because they were denied a vote due to a "lack of chairs".
Everywhere you look there have been a litany of complaints about vote stacking and rigging of committees.

What's the point? The DoJ has achieved less real change in the past decade than the EU has achieved in past two years.
So those nice guys at Guantanamo were just trying to get my testicles to remember?
