It might not be useful in a home environment, but how about in an office where after the initial greeting the customer details are popped on-screen without you typing anything?
I invested some money in this guy next week and have been earning a decent return on my investment for the last 3 years. I did however feel a little shiver as I considered shorting his stock and for some damned reason pictures of my family have started to fade.
The problem is people will continue to use it. New people discover filesharing every day and how would they know about this ruling?
The other possiblity is that people will just not hear about the news, you could post it on slash everyday (it probably will actually...) and there would always be people who won't have heard.
This thing will protect us from the terrible secret of space.

I don't like it. Kind of like fucking a dirty hooker. I installed it, then had trouble uninstalling it (it might have been in Unistall but I couldn't see it so I deleted manually)
I don't like executables being linked into Firefox. Once a plugin is there, its executable and available to any page wanting to use it.
Anything additional is a potential expliotable hole.
Granted, we should remove the known crap tags. But I haven't seen any custom tags for a while now, its all very sanitised. I expect to see "itsatrap" type things.
Haven't memory prices dropped every day since it were introduced? I used to pay X amount for 256KB memory upgrades, the other day I paid similar for 1GB.
Maybe this is more to do with lifespan of memory than anything, changing design and automatically expiring themselves from the market. I have just had to throw away a whoel gig of memory because I got a new motherboard, there was no chance I could have purchased another gig of the same and just expanded on what I had. The newer fabs (from other companies) got my money instead of the established companies with older fabs.
No, they will change the manufacturing process to stop those dastardly internet pirates. Every single bullet on the planet will be recoded to stop working in old unpatched guns.
The one and only time when standing up to pee is 100% effective is in the shower. You pee and don't have pressure to aim correctly or have to faff holding clothing out of the way or anything.
A shower pee is similar to the outdoor pee - just make sure you don't piss into the wind.
Why? Of all the elements in the system, the graphics interface once shouldn't run slower.
Its just mainly copying data around rather than executable assembly instruction translation/manipulation. A block of allocated memory can be passed directly to the card without any messing.
Virtualisation is difficult because you are trying to act as middleman between two different operating systems with different ways to do things. However for the graphics, both those operating systems need to already speak the same language to talk with a graphics card, the memory is laid out the same, the commands are the same and the way of talking to it is the same.
Reading about all this virtualisation and emulation stuff reminds me of the shapeshifter days on the amiga. Emulating a mac went from a slow and laborious process to something almost realtime.
The price of this seems a bit harsh though, it pretty much doubles the retail cost of Windows, are Mac users that desperate for this functionality that its worth it?
Not a bad idea! I've been treating the machine like its a cripple when all along its the wonder cure.
I think it will work with anything, I just stopped fixing it when I managed to get to a desktop and sims running. It really is just a shell of a system, there are over 1000 fileXXXX.chk files still sitting there.
All this talking has made me guilty anyway I think I'm gonna repair it properly over the weekend. I'll just switch out the drive leaving the anomaly intact (!?) and reinstall from scratch.
Data is already backed up, its just the hassle of software install. Maybe one lazy rainy sunday afternoon I will get round to it, but until then it can continue as is.
It was XP service pack 2 and it ran really nicely until some combination of bad memory or hard drive corruption occured. It really does display a desktop and run Sims better than it ever has. Its sorely in need of a rebuild but since the mammoth task of reinstalling all the sims updates just means its left.
Its technically broke, but there is no motivation to fix it.
We have one machine at home which went through this. We managed to get it booting again and it is now capable of running her beloved Sims, but woe betide anyone who dares to run anything else * The control panel contains about 3 items (and 2 of those are corrupt names), the computer System properties contains two useless tabs, it cannot add hardware, there is no media player or games.
Infact, its the fastest running, most secure version of windows ever.
* If anyone knows a nice way to slipstream all legit Sims install disks as a single operation then please let me know - its a ballache to spend hours installing and updating each expansion pack individually.

You are aware its a bit ummm nippy in space aren't you?
Best take a jacket with you if you go outside.
For that much money I would hope my 90 minute trip went further than around the neighbourhood.
Its not that far fetched.

from the Great fire link it appear as though we have had foreign teerrorists for longer than we thought:
The fire pushed north on Monday into the heart of the City. Order in the streets broke down as rumours arose of suspicious foreigners setting fires.
The problem is people will continue to use it.

Just coming to say the same myself, however since I have had another thought
I get wireless light every single day and can see the wireless glow at night if I look to the heavens.

I once tried attacking network neutrality, however I ended up in hospital having a wifi antenna removed from parts indescribable.
