There's an apocryphal story about a thief who was breaking into a school. He was on the roof, and fell through a skylight, injuring himself. He then sued the school district because they didn't have a "Don't walk on the skylight" sign, and allegedly he won.
No, you mean SP3. SP4 was a sack of shit. The only good post-SP3 service pack was SP6a.
SP3 introduced some major changes into the NT kernel. The ones I'm most familiar with are in the NDIS stack -- they used SP3 to introduce deserialize d NDIS drivers.
That's not what he's pointing out. He's pointing out that MS's apps the among the ones that apparently rely on lax security in XP, because SP2 broke them. Not that MS is the only one with security problems.
In general (not always, but usually), things aren't taught unless they have a significant real-world application.
I recall many years ago in a 400-level calc class, someone asked the professor what practical application something he'd been droning on and on and on about had. His answer? "None that I know of".
Of course, nowadays even really weird stuff such as the Banach-Tarski Theorems have applications -- apparently related to subatomic physics. (Source: John Gribbin, Schroedinger's Kittens and the Search for Reality)
Curiously, MAD magazine was the last vestige of ad-free, totally-subscription-supported media, and even they gave up a few years ago and started running ads.
No, there's still one bastion out there. Consumer Reports doesn't accept advertising. If you think about it, you'll see why.
Yeah, but what do you do when a something blatantly unconstitutional becomes the law of the land.
Hypothetical: Congress passes a law stating that $RELIGIOUS_DENOMINATION is now the official religion of the US.
According to your original post, we'd all have to live with it, because *it's the law* and Congress passed it and the Pres signed it, First Amendment notwithstanding. And according to the parent to this, all we could do is wait to vote out the fools who did so, and hope that the new fools will repeal it. I don't think so.
The whole point of the US government is checks and balances. The point of judicial review is the check and balance against Congress (and the Pres) overreaching and doing something blatantly unconstitutional.
I found out that I'll never make it in the business, as I am a 30-something musician in the midwest.
My brother in law is in a band. A buddy of mine who's an agent wanted to play some of their stuff to a friend in the recording industry. They industry guy's first question? "How old are they?". When he found out they were mid-30s, he said to forget it.
All that the record companies want is pliable lookalike boybandz.
You don't make fun of North Dakota. North Dakota has nukes. I once read that if ND was an independent country, it would be the 7th largest nuclear power!

Hey, I said it was apocryphal! :-)
Just ask Jamie Kellner of TBS.

Nice troll, though.

DOH!

In school I was constantly reading and writing so I very thought of those as three clearly different concepts
:) Yes, I know you meant to include conversing. :)
And apparently you now have problems counting as well
But.. but.. Bill Gates says it's the best Open Source license!!!!

Here is the NY Times summary [ Free registration blah blah ]
Usually they require a DNA sample or your first-born child!
My property taxes are going up roughly 27-33% a year for the past four years,
And the politicians in Sacramento can't understand why the general population refuses to accept any change in Prop. 13.
The law of the land should be made by the will of the people through the congress, limited by the state governments, not a court.
And when the Congress passes a law that blatantly violates the Constitution (*cough* USA-PATRIOT *cough*), what then? Who watches the watchers?
Don't forget Al Gore and his Action Rangers in one of the Anthology of Interest episodes!
It's obvious! You pull the lever and release the Bengal Tiger!

How about the internet version of How Not To Be Seen.
Mr. Jones does not wish his website to be seen.
Mr. Jones has posted a link on Slashdot. As such, his website can no longer be seen.
However, his FTP site can still be seen.
KABOOM!!!!
That you could find out for sure if Man is still alive in the year 2525!
The First Amendment and the Second Amendment?
Yes, the *SECOND*. Strong crypto was a munition per ITAR at one point, hence it's an arm, and Second Amendment guarantees apply.
Don't forget CWSShredder while you're at it.
Wouldn't Priceline be prior art?
Maybe they can threaten to have Shatner sing at the PTO unless this is revoked?
