A fan can't draw much more than a few watts. What's the point? It seems like a complicated array of technology just to save a few watts of power. You'd be better off buying a more efficient power supply if you wanted to be "green".
That makes the assumption that you can't do both. Why wouldn't you be able to do both?
No one it out there forcing people to adopt Unix -- when it comes to embedded systems or supercomputers, the operating system is of second concern. Yet, Unix is consistently chosen because of its flexibility.
Really? I was under the impression that they were choosing things like AIX, Solaris, and Linux.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that Xenix... er... SCO OpenServer's kernel isn't used all that much any more.
City of Heroes must have really changed from the last time I played it if it's not locked into the Tank/Healer/DPS triumvirate.
In fact, I could have sworn that its base archetypes mapped directly to these: Tanker = Tank Defender = Healer Scrapper = Short Range DPS Blaster = Long Range DPS Controller = Crowd Control

For cross-platform, FFXI on PS2 and XBox 360 has probably done rather well. However, FFXI is a failure as a PC game.
Square Enix has programmed the game to shut down if you try to change to another window. This is particularly nasty with IM clients that automatically pop up, such as, well, all of them. There is an addon to stop that, but it's in violation of SE's terms of service.
The game is also heavily reliant on a gamepad control scheme. Its keyboard/mouse scheme is just horrid.
Unfortunately, the problems with leveling services is four-fold: 1. You're trusting complete strangers not to steal your account and the money you paid them to level you.
2. You don't learn how to play your character's class.
3. You don't run dungeons and get those nice rare items.
4. You miss out on the part of the game that's actually fun. Seriously, maybe some people enjoy the whole raid scene, but most of the time it seems like an exercise in masochism to me.
...but does it affect a significant percentage of users? I don't recall seeing any statistics saying how many users were affected versus the numbers of people upgrading Vista to SP1.
Open Office pushes the its file format agenda inadvertently by not pointing out to users that it can behave more like Microsoft Office and default to using Word's format for saving files.
OpenOffice's FUD doesn't help. You get that even when saving an empty.doc file if it's not the default format.
From what I'm reading, the Airport Extreme Mini-PCI uses a Broadcom 54xx chipset, so there's probably a driver that would work... connecting it is the problem.
Actually, Windows (at least XP) ships with two versions of comctl32.dll. Programs get version 5.82 (the classic Windows controls) unless they have a manifest file that says its OK to use version 6 common controls (Windows XP style controls).
That's not even counting the WinForms (.NET) controls. I don't know if all the WinForms controls are different than comctl32, but I know the menu bar control looks like the Office 2003 version.
comctl32.dll is not currently part of the Visual Studio Redistributable package, as the file is largely OS version dependant, to the point of requiring the platform SDK if you want to test a version for a version of Windows that you are not running.
As for Office itself, I'm not sure that calling its controls Common Controls is accurate. I'm just assuming the controls it uses are in one of the many dlls in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OfficeX\ directory, where X is the version number: 10 for 2002/XP, 11 for 2003, and 12 for 2007.
Here, you've got me. I can really only think of American Megatrends/AMI Bios. Literally every computer I've had for the last 10 years has had an AMI Bios, and I can't think of anybody else who still makes them. I'd be extremely surprised if the list of those who make BIOSes wouldn't include Motorola and IBM, though...
Award/Phoenix. In fact, they seem to make the majority of the BIOSes these days. Or at least every computer I've seen recently uses one.
That's true. Of course, we're lucky that Philips owns the CDDA logo trademark rather than Sony. Seeing as how CDs were jointly developed by both companies, it could have easily gone the other way.
Given that RFC2616 (written by the w3c) says "The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay." about 503, is it any surprise that abuse continued?

I used to use denyhosts on a remote machine until I nearly locked myself out while trying to set up a svn+ssh client (I had the syntax wrong).
The only reason I wasn't locked out is because I had an open SSH session currently in progress.

SP1 hasn't been rolled out to the masses yet, only its pre-requisites have. Unfortunately, this particular problem was in one of thoes prereqs.
Also, as others have pointed out, SP1 is available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers now.

For everything else, there's Mastercard.

He was using floating point math, then truncated it instead of rounding.

Aw, I was going to mention this, but you already did.
If you look at the top of RFC2616, you might notice that W3C is mentioned several times.
