There's a process called slipstreaming that will allow you to implement service packs, includings hot fixes, into a Windows XP CD, and they will be installed when Windows XP is installed. Just search on google and you'll find plenty of guides.
You might think USB thumb drives are better, but you have to realize the majority of PCs out there can't boot from USB, whereas most can boot from DVD (as long as they have a DVD drive). If you think about it, it's rather strange; USB has been standard on a PC for ages.
I took some old parts I had taken out of my current PC during an upgrade, purchased a motherboard, case, and CPU fan (already had an old 40 gig hdd, an Athlon XP 2400+ (thorton core), 512mb PC2100 DDR DIMM, and a geforce 4 mx 440 (yeah I know the video card is overkill for a server). I spent about $80 total.
I then spent several days installing linux on it (mostly waiting, but a lot of learning), and set up iptables. Bam! Instant router (ok so not instant). I keep my iptables stored with the iptables save command, and also stored in a script file so I can easily edit my iptables and run the script to change my settings in a matter of seconds. The Gentoo linux box also functions as a web, ftp, dns, and shoutcast server. Oh, and while it doesn't actually serve as a VoIP router, my VoIP router does connect to it via a switch.
Based on the suspicious numbers and amature writing ability, I'd hazard to guess he didn't start with a clean PC (fresh install, no spyware, viruses, etc.) on at least one, if not both, of these PCs.
A thermodynamics professor wrote a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question: 'Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with proof.'
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following
'First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the religions that exist in the world today. Many religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.
1. So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
2. If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the postulate given me by Therese Banyan during freshman year, and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then # 2 cannot be true, and hell is exothermic.'
I was thinking the same thing. It's great that it can "revolutionize computing as we know it", but when will it be available to the average consumer or even commercially?
Why not Opera? Well, two things: it's: not open source and it's not free. Ok, so #2 can be disputed a tad, but who wants to see ads as part of their browser (for the "free" version, that is)?
Ah. A late reply, but one nonetheless. Perhaps it would've been more accurate to state that IE is the only one that does it by default. Because, who else would enable such a bone-headed option by default except for Microsoft?
While I agree with nearly everything you said and identify with the 'guy you know', except that I have RTS and a ergonomic keyboard. I can type on it, however, as I've been using ergonomic keyboards for about 6 years. The ergonomic keyboards I use are fairly cheap. I first had a Logitech ergonomic keyboard with a built-in mouse touchpad, which died in about a year (I think). I then bought a Microsoft Natural Keyboard, then a Microsoft Natural Multimedia Keyboard, then another one of those. So yes, every 1.5 years (18 months). but these keyboards were fairly cheap (compared to your friend's $60 keyboard he doesn't even know how to use), at about $30-$50 (the first one was a gift, the others were progressively cheaper over the years, from about $42 to $30).
Any efforts made by Bram to counteract this, could nudge bittorrent away from lawful use. Wow. Don't be so short-sighted. Bittorrent has many legitimate uses (World of Warcraft official updates, linux ISOs, World of Warcraft in-game footage music videos). Not to mention, it's very easy for me to set up a tracker on my home server for a file I want to share (or use someone else's tracker), and have anyone who wants it to get the.torrent file and stop wasting the majority of my bandwidth.
But this is a tangent. The important thing is, if Bram were to implement some sort of hash-protection, that does not automatically make Bittorrent unlawful!
brontus3927, mmkkbb, read it again. If this is not acceptable to you, you should not run a Freenet node.. Meaning, if you don't like Freenet, then don't use it. It's that simple.
We discussed this already in another post. Yes, they do. And besides, 'jurisdiction' is the wrong word.

They can sue you for whatever reason, whenever they feel like it, where-ever. It's a civil lawsuit and I don't believe there are any restrictions. But, IANAL, so YMMV.
Actually, you technically DO need a registration code, it's just packed in with the setup exe now and automatically entered when installing. That makes it improbable to distribute the setup exe, as AVG requires a unique key per install (for the free version anyways).

Yes, that would be what some of us call a grammatical error.

A better idea is to not have such brain-dead DWIM "features" in the browser.
Isn't IE the only browser that does this?
