It's only going to take one vehicle fire involving lithium ion batteries and then the public will sour on the whole thing for years.
Because of course, gasoline is non-flammable. Actually, for a while there was no official method to fight a car fire in a hybrid or electric vehicle, or to cut one open in a major accident. That was solved a few year ago when people started seeing all those Toyotas... Now it is just like any other car... The most dangerous part is the loose nut behind the wheel.
Old news I know, but this once again brings up the issue of trust. I am only familiar with the TOR protocol/Onion routing at a high level, but is it possible to somehow revamp the protocol and include a trusted node-ranking system? Think slashdot style mod points applied to a TOR server. Obvious DOS attacks exist with this method, but refined a little it may work.
And exactly how would you know if someone is sniffing if they do not publish the results? The fact is that this is a security/anonymization system built on trust. If we could trust people, we would not need a security/anonymization system...
The form factor is to big to fit in the really small cases (mini-atx) and too small to expand in a big case. Besides, motherboard CPU combos at about this price with more performance are not uncommon. http://www.directron.com/nf61sm7comb58.html Nothing really special about this but the Google tag.
For the record, the IEEE proposed this in 2005, and the case goes back to 2001. While this was a known issue, it was till misleading. They may have had to spend a lot to win this. And they may have lost...
Buy what you want and be happy. I, on the other hand, routinely build systems with 2-3 PCI cards. If you are doing video editing, or PC based DVR, PCI capture cards are the way to go. That is why we have more than one motherboard standard. You get what you want, and I get what I want. The point is that what does this new standard offern the ATX mATX and miniATX do not? Damn little from what I can see.
Look at the cane toad in Australia. http://www.fdrproject.org/pages/toads.htm Once it is out, you can't put it back in the box. Not that a little thing like cancer will keep people away from tomatoes...
If you want to update today, or even in the next few days, I'd suggest using a torrent to download the CD. Burn the CD and put it in the drive, then go to "System->Administer->Software Sources", click on the "Third-Party Software" tab, click the "Add CD-ROM" button.
When you stick the CD in the drive it will ask if you want to upgrade and run the script to upgrade from the CD. Why make things harder for your self?
I usually save it in whatever format I got it. So, that is.doc more often than not. Why convert? If I create something I save it in the default OO format, but that is rare. But it makes you wonder if the "survey" is a lot of people saving modified.doc files.
My god do you have the slightest clue how computationally expensive that would be? A single high end server is heavily loaded just pushing the data around. And you want to run filters and mess with jpeg compression? You are the man on the beach with cling wrap drawers. I can clearly see your nuts!
Or, to put it differently, there already is very little trust in Windows Update anyway (even though, from a technical perspective, their track record is nothing but spectacular).
Let's go with this a minute. To have a comparison, I will use Synaptic on Ubuntu. Both are consumer oriented. Both allow you to do unattended. Both allow you to get user aproval before patching. (Other then the WGA update, point to Ubuntu)
Ubuntu has had several spectacular failures that have resulted in a system that will not boot to the desktop. Microsoft has had a few good ones that call you a pirate and shut off functionality. The Ubuntu fix was within hours. The Microsoft fix was within days. On paper they are quite close, but in the real world MS is hated. Why this is should be the first priority at MS before more people realize just how viable Ubuntu is for many people.
Then please do back up your "point" with an example. I keep asking proponents of this mythical "only one ISP town" to tell me where it is, but noone has be able to yet. *I* for one have never lived there, and strangely enough it seems that every proponent silly meme seems to have not lived there either.
OK. Many places in Houston, Texas. In my apartment complex, cable is "in house" and has no internet. AT&T DSL is the only option. In the strip of hotels near the Bush Airport, DSL is not available due to distance from the CO. A large segment of office buildings in Uptown Houston can not get any consumer class, and C-Beyond / Logix is the only option. And when you get out of town in to "small town texas" it gets worse. Surfside Texas has one ISP, which is wireless, and run by the mayor. Crystal Beach, and Zapata Texas have similar Wireless only options.
Actually AT&T have the right to conduct business in anyway they see fit and we (as the consumer) have the right to choose any ISP, it's the latter that keeps the former in check.
This only works when there is an option. In many places in the US there is only one consumer provider of the internet. At that point, there is no check... It should take all of 30 seconds to find a few thousand examples on google.
According to the GPL, they will have to release the source code and the tool set. That means a Linux updater, and a custom firmware fairly quickly. Unless they they decide to play fast and loose with the GPL... Or if it is just a pig.
Duh! Everyone knows this. It is just that most people have second thoughts when they are facing the dripping fang vampire all alone. Harvard just let the students know they would not be alone. The other schools are willing to throw the students under a bus. Not surprising, really...

cash or software, cash claim only if bought before 2006 & you have proof-of-purchase. 5% of what you paid
The mail in form also allows you to use your drive serial number as proof if you do not have proper documentation.
I just could not vote for any of the links. We need a strong voting standard to show some leadership.
Closer to "Never understimate the bandwidth of a station wagon driving down the Jersey Turnpike."
As much as I hate Microsoft, having better error handling is not a bug. This is a virus scanner problem. Of course the entire concept of enumerating badness is flawed. http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/editorials/dumb/
While reading TFA I had a flashback to reading a 90's era ASP press release. "Ohhh... Shiny and pointless!"

And you just lost your "safe harbor" protections.
Invoking Hitler to end an argument doesn't even work on usenet anymore. Sigh... End of an era...
