Tochè. I'll admit, I never tried installing 95 via floppy disk. I think I only installed it from a MSDN cd once. My first computer came with it preloaded. Only thing close to that, is when I did boot windows xp from the emergency floppy boot disks (6 required to do the trick). And that was mainly because it was so absurd.
So yes. Windows 7 is easier to install than windows 95 via floppy disk. That is a valid point,I guess.
Was it a real windows 2000 cd, or just a pirated cd?
I installed win 2000 maybe ten times, never had an issue with needing a boot disk, or having it take any longer than a win 98 install. On the other hand Slackware was asking me questions about the type of mouse I used,what kind of port it was connected to, and the horizontal frequency of my monitor (ok that was x86config, but still).
I was involved in investigating a compromised linux based web server. basically it all went down like this:
They hired a stupid guy to install some adbanner to their site. His windows based computer was infected by several viruses. He downloaded the full site, at which point the virus inserted some malicous code in the websites code. He reuploaded the whole thing, and bang the website was infected. It was still infected, but Windows was the primary infection vector combined with the stupidity of the computer owner.
I'm really confused why they wouldn't use 100% Algae. Cost isn't an issue for a proof of concept, and its supposed to be a drop in replacement of gas. It should give similar MPG as regular gasoline, unlike ethanol that has a lower energy density.
Sounds good. I'd like to do that, with a few qualifications. I need to be able to buy an unlocked one for ~ $300 and be able to modify the OS and applications on it. It has all of the other qualifications.
Erlang is pretty cool, but I doubt the linux kernel or any other massive c codebase is going to be rewritten in it. GCD is an incremental improvement, that will be more likely to have a bigger impact.
A good point. Anyone is free to do what ever they like with the gpl donated code that doesn't violate the gpl. That includes not including it in a future official Linus sanctioned Linux kernel. But, I think GKH is trying to get companies to stay active in development of their own donated code,using the carrot of inclusion in the Official Linus Kernel. That's not a bad idea. Someone has to fund the ongoing maintenance costs of the drivers.
As the drivers usage primarily benefits Microsoft, why not them?
I used to have nine crts on and in my desk. That was before the advent of virtualization, and with the added complexity of monitoring embedded systems.
Phishing sites come into existence so fast, that I really wonder how much use any phishing filter is. But any protection is better than none, though I'd recommend not trumpeting it too loudly for the exact same reason you gave.
I have an old version of Word and Open Office and an older iWork. I prefer to open everything in openOffice. That is what I tell the OS when I set Open Office to be the default to open.doc files. I don't care if the original creator that emailed it to me preferred Word. I want to open it, by default by the application I choose.
Still, that's *after* you've already visited the page. If you are just coming to the site via a link, it could have already launched a CRSF attack draining your bank account.
Yeah, and Apple licensed Java from Sun. That hasn't helped in getting a recent Java build on osx now has it? 2-3 years their exchange support will be in a similar situation. If I'm a mac user that needs exchange support, I'm still buying Outlook for mac.
That's the equivalent of just reading the fellowship of the ring and declaring that it teaches joining forces with evil people is the only way to survive.
Everything you said is true, but not new. Maybe its news worthy to people who don't know about it. Much like how you could pick a random wikipedia page and make it your headline.
Catholics have always believed that sex between a married hetrosexual couple was a holy, good act.
I think many of you are thinking of the puritans disdain for sex, which permeates the social mores of American life.
He was afraid of depending on others. Afraid of losing control of living life the way he wanted to. Afraid of pain, Afraid of suffering. He took his life out of fear. He is no hero, he is a coward.
Yeah, you're right it was there before. My memory coincided with the wikipedia article on xp, that claims it was introduced in SP2. But the main article on Windows firewall correctly states that it was there before.
I think you coughed up one of the best service packs ever released, there. XP SP2 was a huge change that included a built in firewall, and a complete new compile after the introduction of several code analysis tools to specifically seek out and destroy buffer overflows. Xp still has security issues, but its so incredibly better than SP1. Original vista wouldn't have been derided so much if it had been compared to XP SP1, in fact I think it would have been hailed as Microsoft finally getting it right.

Out of morbid curiosity, Which windows install was the slowest, most difficult one?
I've never had a problem with a windows install being too difficult, or too slow.

Not according to everything I've read/heard on the subject ( all I can point out is the wiki now) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogasoline

I think the entire move to 5 1/4 is a bit premature, we're already up to 1.2 mb with the 8 inch models.
No, that's lame. Massively lame. or as I say Massi-lame. As in, "No Iphone for me, its massi-lame".
Reasonable, yes. Awesome, no.
Sounds good. I'd like to do that, with a few qualifications. I need to be able to buy an unlocked one for ~ $300 and be able to modify the OS and applications on it. It has all of the other qualifications.
Do you know if they'll provide an unlocked one?

I think I may have been thinking about files extracted from a dmg. You're right email probably would strip those out.

dang, they finally did. Still my point is the following:
