Trend and Avast have apparently been able to run on Vista without any problems. They knuckled down and wrote code so they worked on Vista, and indeed Vista has an API called Windows Filtering Platform, which allows anti-virus makers to monitor file activity.
As long as Microsoft's solutions also run outside of the kernel and they provide for a range of options to consumers to protect their systems, there shouldn't be a problem. If, however, Microsoft has designed it so that only its solutions run inside the kernel and everyone else's runs outside then this is certainly grounds for antitrust scrutiny.
This goes beyond the beta stage because the RC is feature complete, unlike a beta which still has bits missing and features that either need to be refined or added/removed.
A big push in the IT department where I work is to say the whole thing, rather than just the acronym.
I think you meant to say Information Technology department. Might want to send out a company-wide electronic mail so that others don't make this mistake.
I find it surprising that Guinness doesn't have most of the measurements we'd all be interested in. Like world's largest breasts. Or highest number of multiple orgasms. How about the longest schlong? Instead of measuring the length of a guy's piece and settling the answer once and for all they measure some idiot who hasn't cut his fingernails for 20 years and they coil around like that lousy Ferengi whip weapon that they fortunately did away with early in the Next Generation series. What's up with that?
In that case, might I recommend that Americans bring in the Swiss in order that they may have a supervised election run by an impartial third party? Given that the US has such a hard time ensuring fair elections, they shouldn't be too proud to ask for help.
Theres a time and a place for jokes, but this is a rather serious thing which could one day kill you. Being a little horny asshole who wants to see porn isn't an important thing.
Lighten up. Seeing breasts != porn. Seeing people fucking == porn. And many things could one day kill you... should we be serious about everything and just stop joking altogether?
And to prove the parent's point, allow me to present a video about Dumbass Snipers in training -- though as someone points out in the comments, this isn't a sniper rifle.
Actually, I did understand your point but I thought the parent to your post was just talking about raw conversion of energy in cells. I followed the thread all the way back up and saw that it's talking about insects converting energy to kinetic energy. In which case, you're correct -- you'd have to factor in the base energy requirements of the organism as a whole.
On the other hand, it is enough to read the RFID when the cover is only slightly open. What prevents reading the data from 10 metres while the imigration officer is looking at the open passport?
Hopefully all countries around the world will erect large walls and ban binoculars around immigration facilities.
The glucose to energy conversion is used for everything, both in the necessary functions to stay alive as well as doing stuff like kicking ass. Glucose in, energy out... regardless of what that energy is used for.
It's just like stopping at a red light in downtown Detroit or Chicago, getting your windshield cleaned by some bum and then him sticking his hand in your window asking for money when all he did was smudge your windshield without your permission.
No, no... wait, it's like this. It's like stopping in the red light district in Amsterdam and, while looking through a window, you get your bum cleaned by some money *without* your permission.
Well, if there is a spelling error I can't see. As far as grammar goes, I'm sure my writing is informal enough to break a few rules. But do explain the error of my ways.
I wonder if the portion of the brain that controls motor skills is connected to the part of the brain that creates language via the speach portions? That would explain why homophone typing errors occur far more often than would be expected.
How about those spelling errors? Sounds like teach, looks like speech? Interestingly enough, I *never* used to make those kinds of errors. You can check back through my posting history and you'd be lucky to find an odd typo. However, these days I catch myself making homophone-style errors with increasing, though still infrequent, frequency. Maybe it's my age -- approaching mid 30s -- that is a factor. And I also find that as I have more thoughts on my mind, my attention to detail slips a little bit.
And to bring this back on topic, last week my Radeon 9800 Pro bit the dust. I was pleasantly surprised that I could upgrade to the X1600 for half the cost of what I paid for the 9800 Pro and get increased performance to boot! Gotta love technology prices.
These cats are GPL compliant. The company simply forked the existing feline breed and released their own breed. You can of course modify those cats all you want. The only caveat is that their cats have already been modified in ways that prevent additional forks.

So this is the Do Almost Whatever The Fuck You Want To Public License.
So why do they release a new distro, instead of contribing to mWall?
By your argument, there should only be one distro for every open source operating system because people should just contribute back and never fork?

Alpha is when there are features missing. Beta is when it's feature complete but still has bugs that need to be found. References: http://www.google.com/search?q=beta+feature+compl

Traditional TV is dying.
I won't believe this until Netcraft confirms it.
The poor planet has been the butt of far too many attempts at humor.
No shit.

Leave it to the 90% male Slashdot audience to laugh at something like breast cancer.
And when there's a story about prostate cancer, this same 90% male audience will be joking around about that too. Get over yourself.

Imagine a month filled with pink fluffy ponies. Bring it on.
The only thing worse than them collecting the creditcard numbers is if they loose them.
Are you suggesting that they make security tighter so that things aren't quite so loose?

Okay, that answers one question, but now I want to know what the Textile Services Association was doing in airport security
I trust they were studying adolescence.
