as in the past though, I expect Microsoft will offer free upgrades to Vista for systems purchased in the last 60-90 days, I know they did this when XP came out....
Then again, what do I care, I Just loaded FC5 up on my spanking new computer...!!
they are deactivating Internet authorization of MAJOR OEM COA's...let me quote directly from the most recent Microsoft System Builder Newsletter...
"On February 28, Microsoft® will disable Internet activation for all Microsoft Windows® XP product keys located on the Certificates of Authenticity (COA) labels distributed by large, multinational OEMs." (Italics Mine.)
in other words...only the volume licence COA from such vendors as Dell, HP etc...granted this is about 80% (my estimate) of all system sales...but its not gonna affect EVERYONE....only those that buy stand alone COA's on E-Bay and from other vendors.
I personnally like the "malicious software removal tool" windows update is in the process of installing...
along with the other security patch of course:)
I'm Currently doing a Nielson diary this week, when they called they asked if I have a DVR, which I do (Myth DOES count!)
The diary itself though is POORLY Designed. This is not the first time I've done a Tv Diary, its just a list of days and times where you list the channel watched...with an additional page at the end for shows recorded but watched later...
theres no way to list shows from two months ago that I've recorded, but not watched...
and they even call a DVR a DVD (digital video Device) so they have a LONGGGGG way to go yet..
gotta go and update yesterdays viewing...
doing some further research I found this in a NASA newsletter...
"The OIG's investigative arm conducts criminal and
regulatory investigations in which NASA is a victim.
Recently, we have investigated:
MOON ROCKS
Finally, in an ongoing investigation we seized a desk set that allegedly contained scraps of lunar material. The set, which was owned by a dealer in rare objects, had originally been given to a retiring NASA engineerin 1970. Against NASA policy, the engineer's coworkers had worked some scraps of lunar materials into the desk."
Newletter HERE
strange that its being acutioned, but NASA Seems to have previously confiscated it????
I know I won't be bidding...not that I could:))
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading where PRIVATE ownership of Moon rocks was Illegial? Searching Google, I can't find an exact statue to cite, just a bunch of references stating its illegial for me as a private citizen of the US to own a moon rock??
no wonder I never got that one I wanted for christmas:(
Heck no..if its not on port 80..its not blocked...this directly from websense itself, we've had a few computers with proxies installed, and have yet to find a way to block said proxies..port 8080, port 888 port 1024...all not blocked...
Ok...lets see how much the editors like dupes...
I suggest everyone Dupe their mail boxes with the same story...
Any suggestions? maybe something on the NEW RFC with the EVIL BIT???
Slashdot Mirror
I assume Microsft's sales support of Suse will including charging like $895.00 for a copy of Suse..and including a "FREE" copy of SBS 2003 ....
