I'll start worrying about SPAM and unwanted telephone calls just as soon as someone can solve the problem of a pound of unsolicited printed materials being delivered to my home mailbox every week.
Even in a system operated and regulated by the government they can't inact laws that benefit the end-user or the environment.
Don't trust anyone to protect you from electronic marketing outside of your own I.T. guys.
Cars parked where they aren't supposed to be... cars that drive around the same building several times... obviously none of these people have ever been to Chicago.
In Chicago driving around a building several times is what you do before you decied to park somewhere you aren't supposed to be parked.
Sounds like putting cameras in the forest looking for trees.
Should I even ask? Does the 4th Amendment mean anything anymore?
Cops bust a guy for video taping them and charge him with wiretapping and Microsoft is going to be recording my voice and compiling a profile of me and that's okay?
Words I'm guessing it will be looking for by default: bomb, liberal, weed, nuke, bush, 1st Amendment.
I worked for "BIG COMPANY" where I did testing for other "BIG COMPANIES" wide format printing media, pigments and inks. Even the best products on the market; much more expensive than anything anyone runs in a home printer; don't hold up past five years... add direct UV light and that time is cut down two thirds. They're getting better but are a very long way away from archival quality photographic media.
If you want to do photographic quality work with a digital camera print the digital images to slides and then transfer the slides to photographic paper... unless, of course, you can afford the equipment to go directly from digital to photo paper.
I can't wait until the first "professional photographer" is sued becasue the framed print they sold for $2500 is nothing but a faded piece of white paper in ten years.
Any time a representative of Microsoft uses the word "interoperability" in a sentence we're drawn one step closer to the abyss. Quick, everyone start chanting "Embrace and Enhance" to hold back the tide.
"The parent poster, however, was comparing a freshly-downloaded Linux ISO, which is already patched, with an XP install that required updates to be downloaded, and then complaining about the difference in speed."
No, I was talking about a vanillia Linux ISO vs an XP CD with service pack 2... so the XP install is patched and the Linux isn't.
Windows update requires multiple runs and patches the last round of patches every time it's run. YUM under Linux only requires one pass to bring everything up to date.

He-he...
Yup:

I wonder how much constantly being reminded that you're going to die contributes to your death?
Whois databases running on a server and whois lookup for domain ownership are two entirely different and unrelated things.

Agreed... I can find out who owns any house/building in the U.S. and I can find out who owns any company because it's a matter of public record.
T.V. and radio stations have to identify themselves... I can't think of any good reason a domain owner shouldn't have to.
Individuals have a right to privacy... companies and organizations do not.

Web 2.0 = Broken and slow.
Web 3.0 = ?Not working at all?
Does web 4.0 actually remove information from your brain?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If I can't get to the information I'm looking for it doesn't matter how pretty it is.
Already been there for the past three years.
There's only so long you can fight against your own internal users doing stupid things on your network.
No Kidding... SCO sold Linux for quite a while. They couldn't make it work so it's the rest of the industry's fault?
Perhaps they should have been working on their business model rather than sueing everyone... who do they think they are, Microsoft?
So it's wrong to stop someone from screwing you over?
I block spyware... if you don't you have no business being on the internet.
Agreed... web advertisers talking about morality and ethics is a joke.
When you site warns me that it's going to resize my browser, install software and watch everything I do I'll stop blocking it.
I don't beleieve that there is anyone in the U.S. government with the power or authoirty to grant immunity for a violation of the Constitution.
I've got ten bucks that says Rove ends up working for Fred Thompson.
Indeed... you get what you pay for... and sometimes not even that.
I'm pretty sure I'm running it on my desktop right now... I could be wrong though.
The technology no... but do you actually believe it won't be used by the government? Google: "AT&T Deathstar wiretapping".

Isn't this the same goon from AT&T that said no home user will ever want more than a 1.5mbps connection not a year or so ago?

Step one: Read the terror alerts and watch lists you already have.
Step two: Do more than NOTHING about them.
Yep... after all everyone knows that C# is the best language with which to progarm an embeded micro-controller.
Technology reporting is certainly dying.

That's fubar!
...it must.
Does Vista screw around with the BIOS of the machine?
Get yourself a non-Microsoft fdisk program (either a Linux Live CD or FreeDOS, etc) and whipe the master boot record and partition table clean.
This assumes you're trying to completely over-write the Vista install.
