The COD series is notoriously bad at this too. Because of the way it's scripted, the only tactic available is to move forward. One place in COD4 I was stuck - there were a ton of enemies and I was in a pretty confined area. No matter how careful I was, I'd eventually end up eating a grenade or getting shot while reloading. The solution was just to make a mad dash for the exit hoping that they missed me while I was running. I made it there on the second try, and that set off a scripted event that also stopped the enemies in that area from respawning. Very lame.
Last time I reported for Jury Duty they wouldn't even let me bring an iPod into the building, let alone anything with Internet access...I guess it's a state-by-state thing.
Exactly... If there's a business case for buying more bandwidth, then write it up and show it to the boss. Are people dropping the service because they're fed up with slow speeds? Are there people who would be willing to pay more for higher bandwidth? Do the customers even notice or care that speeds are slow at times? Is 90% of the bandwidth being used up by 1% of the customers? If you don't know the answers to these questions, whining to the boss isn't going to get you anywhere.
Installing applications into a non-priviliged area doesn't sound like a good idea. If a user can write to it without elevation, then anything they run can also write to it without elevation. The idea of putting applications in Program Files is that once they're installed, the files are no longer writable.
They're trying to find a balance that is as secure as possible while encouraging as many people as they can to leave UAC enabled. It's not realistic to think that they can force everybody to run with Vista-style UAC. They're leaving that option in there for those that want it, and they're including new options for people who would otherwise disable UAC completely. Maybe it'll stop a lower percentage of attacks, but that's better than stopping none at all.
It may be the "correct" way, but it's worthless if it's so intrusive that people turn it off completely - that just sets you back to the broken XP model. Finding a balance is a good thing, and the option is still there to set it back to "Vista" mode if you want to run that way.
It doesn't say if the 198 that CAD found were a subset of the 199 that the two readers found.. So would two readers + CAD have found more than 199? Or did both groups miss the same 28?
I'm proud to have chris Dodd as one of my state's senators, and he fought hard to stop this travesty. Even if you're not from CT, maybe take a minute to write him a note thaking him for his efforts.
They're looking at EVERY piece of software installed on the computer, not the OS itself. They're doing this along with a very generous definition of "security update" to come up with hugely inflated numbers so they can better scare the clueless into buying their services.
They've had this policy in place for over a year. The change is that now silver accounts can see the content in the list even though they can't download it yet. If they try to download it, they get a message explaining the situation. Before the update, the content just wouldn't show up in their list at all.

Even more so if the kids actually have to work for the money they're spending on homework answers...
If you're part-time and putting on 60+ hours per week, then at least you're getting PAID for those hours.
Does Sony make any money on PS3 hardware sales? Last I heard they were selling them at around $100 under the cost of production.
The families of Ed White, Gus Grissom, and Roger Chaffee will no doubt be thrilled to learn that their loved ones are still alive!
Were the testers pre-screened? Maybe the test is really showing that 25% of the population is just dumb.

Right, because everybody has the OpenDNS server IP addresses memorized.
It's a sweet little sportscar that Audi is working on. But I have no idea why Nintendo would be upset over that. http://www.topspeed.com/cars/audi/2010-audi-r4-ar16931.html

And if you still want people to think that you're "cool" just tell them that you're putting the system into Mode Execute Ready.
So what you're saying is that this video is somewhat derivative.
they get zero compensation for their products being distributed over the Internet
The vast majority of them earn every penny of that.
Maybe it's the editors trying to make an ironic statement about the memory loss that comes with Alzheimer's.

Better not give that prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor any ideas. They might try to put CentOS out of business.

The Vista version was pretty useless, but it sucked on the Xbox 360 too so it was no great loss.
