In the UK all the ISPs I have ever dealt with have stipulated no sharing, not even a home network with two plus computers.
Really? Who? And how can they tell if you use an NAT layer?
Many of them object to you running an "open gateway". I don't see why they'd be bothered by free-for-all wireless, so long as you take the rap for anything bad that happens with your connection (such as AUP breaches).
Everyone commenting on how inaccurate this is needs to take a close look in the mirror to make sure that the comic book guy is not staring back at them.
That's because it's meant to be a British family coming home to watch The Simpsons, presumably through one of those ghastly Murdochotron devices that adorn so many homes these days.
I don't believe for a second they rewrote the fscking NT kernel.
Indeed. If that were the case, and Dave Cutler were dead, we could attach magnets to his corpse and use it to generate electricity. Another anomaly:
...there are problems in Windows XP when developers deal with large heaps, heap fragmentation, etc. In the Vista kernel, they have cleaned that up, helping to prevent heap fragmentation and gracefully deal with large heap requests...
Now, hang on a minute... what the fuck does the kernel have to do with application heap management? I thought that was part of the user-space runtime — the C++ libraries, or whathaveyou. Are they talking about the kernel memory allocator or something (the "Object Manager" in NT parlance)? Have they added a slab allocator to NT? So much for the elegant architecture of NT!
SuperFetch also takes advantage of external memory devices--plug in that spare 256MB USB key (any size will work, really) and Windows can cache a lot of the working set to it. It's not as fast as your system RAM, but it's much faster than randomly grabbing small bits of data from all over your hard drive.
Aside from the fact that modern hard discs are supposedly faster than USB 2.0, isn't paging out part of the VM to a hot swappable device just dope-assed? Shurley shome mishtake!
Samsung is certainly not your ordinary low-cost copycat manufacturer - they spend huge amounts on R&D.
And from what I've seen, the items they make that "may have been developed by others in the past" are not "cheap Korean knock-offs"; quite often, they're does-what-it-says-on-the-tin items marketed at a reasonable price. iPod is all about Apple brand snobbery. However, I must say I'm disappointed at Samsung for eschewing USBMS in this product. Naughty!
A number of CDs (e.g., "Praise", an early-nineties new-age outfit) were processed with QSound to add some sort of surround effects (many of these albums had "sound-scaping" and stuff between tracks). It was quite effective when facing stereo speakers straight-on. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well with headphones and certain sounds ended up sounding "odd".
The articles give confused messages on the size of these things. One minute they're of order a few centimetres; the next, they're injecting liquid into biological cells; following that, lined up next to a ruler measuring a few millimetres.
I am starting to turn into a Samsung fanboy, and everything I've bought from them of late works with Linux. At last there is a company that appears to manufacture electronic products the way consumers want.
I have a Samsung YP-U1X (512 MiB) for Vorbis. And it is a nice player (if you ignore the very faint interference from the DSP and the lanyard eyelet that's so close to the earphone socket only the supplied buds will fit).
Bless those Koreans. Come to think of it, I've bought a fair bit of Samsung gear recently: this, digital cameras, laser printer... I guess the push for Linux in South Korea is a incentive to make standards-compliant (or at least open spec) hardware that works with pretty much any operating system.
None of these are the jobs of the window manager. They are the job of dbus, HAL, gnome-vfs and nautilus, amongst other things. GNOME is a desktop environment, not a window manager.
If Microsoft had had to write their own TCP/IP stack from scratch, we'd still be trying to work out the interoperability problems, and the Internet would be far smaller / less pervasive as a result.
So... all those worms would have to find another means to propagate?

So we can all examine the EXIF fields, of course...
No, no — they've already rooted NT.
GmailFS seems to provide a Google-oriented storage solution for anything that supports FUSE-based filesystems.

That's unpossible!
In Soviet Britain, Russian Lada with registration D834 GGW drives bloke.

Come on people, think!
He also happens to own The Sun.
There Is also No Cabal.
(Minor detail: shouldn't the article title read "No Deliberate Backdoor in Vista"?)
Well, did you ever have any good ideas — strictly from an engineering perspective — when off your ass* on dope?
*Either meaning will do.

From TFA:

As if millions of Apple fanatics suddenly cried out in ecstacy, and suddenly quiesced as they creamed themselves.
Are you positive they don't have hard discs? Not even for swap space?
I once had trouble with my Sorny.
The physiotherapist fixed it, though.
Thank-you!

Just how ruddy big are these things?!
What, at 4200 rpm? I don't think so!
Aside from blocking ventilation grilles, etc., isn't the natural undulation of one's lap bad for the hard disc?
