If you break American law (e.g. this one) and live in any country (like the UK) which has an extradition treaty with the USA you can be brought to America and charged with the crime.
So if you trade with an American you can expect a free holiday in an American prison.
You need to keep in mind that Microsoft is a very large company and each department is so large that it is almost like a company within its self. So if it is bad for the Windows Server team that the Virtual Server team has done this, well too bad. The Virtual Server team needs to keep their product competitive and they are just telling it as it is; they are an x86 system virtualizer and need to support popular x86 platforms, if they didn't then they deserve to die off.
This is no different than when Microsoft released an Office for Mac. Naturally the Windows platform teams and managers didn't much care for that but Office saw it as an opportunity. The people doing the name calling are the ones within Microsoft that are competing against Linux not the ones that couldn't care less either way or want to port their projects to Linux to improve their customer base.
In my opinion, when we see a dominant Linux platform (e.g. desktop environment, tool set etc) then we will also see a copy of Microsoft Office released. Microsoft will follow the market with most of its products.
Show all the CGI in the trailers you want, doesn't make it a good film... You notice how the original star wars trailers talk about an experience where as these new ones talk about emotions that morons will find appealing (e.g. how cool is it to blow stuff up!)
You are correct. But it is not unusual to find three or more "Base Systems" on a network. You would have to design a patch procedure for all of your base systems and test it; which would be very time consuming (thus the problem).
This is a 200Mb file that you need to send to every computer on the corp. network, so even if you were ready to start deploying SP2 you couldn't do so over night.
Further more SP2 adds LOTS of functionality and changes the behaviour of Windows and thus is extremely likely to break things on a corp. setup.
So I am not at all shocked that network admins haven't all installed it yet.. But I bet you if you changed the survey to - "How many network admins are installing (Via Slipstream) SP2 on new installations?" you would get a very positive and different result.
Yes... But as long as the replacement works without dead pixels who cares.
I myself would return something with dead pixels because they really do irritate me, I mean this thing plays movies, if you have a black schene with a bright white pixel or visa versa then it can really draw your attention from what you're watching.
I wish they would improve the spellchecker too. I myself am dyslexic and often have to use google to correct my spelling when the Office spellchecker lets me down.
I really wish other media (sound, music, pictures) was as clear cut as software when it comes to free usage.
For example, if I wanted to write a piece of software and needed icons for it, I might be able to find some but rarly do you get any kind of guarentee that they won't turn around and sue you.
Point is, this feature is welcome as long as they are very explicit about *exactly* how you can use this material.
Most of the thickness of standard Ethernet cabling is not the metal wire but the protection of that wire from EM radiation and physical damage. This ulti-thin version might not be able to withstand those conditions which could result in data corruption or loss.
That is 170Mb/s when tested over a dedicated
power line... The speed will bottle-neck all over
the network when used with an unknown number of
users. But it is good to know that a direct
dedicated point to point line can handle such
speeds. Means, depending on the architecture of
the network and the locations of the end points the users could see as much as 10Mb/s of that
each.
Tivo costs £10 per month to get guide information... Or you could buy Microsoft Media Centre edition, costs you £89 up front but you get the guide information for free forever plus you can hack it (using any x86 tools).
What if one of these little kids went missing? This would allow literal alarm bells to sound in such case. Tracking attendance in classrooms isn't an invasion of privacy (tracking toilet uses is) because a normal register system does exactly the same thing.
I like the idea. However used on older kids and expanded to the entire school ground might be a little bit of an invasion.
1. This has been patched.
2. GAIM has had exploits patched.
3. Linux has had exploits patched.
4. I remember reading people defending Linux by saying that a lot of the distribution patches are not for the OS but instead for tools/apps... Yet you don't hold the same true for Microsoft?
5. People need to be a little more objective, even on/.
6. This is old news.
Even if a court order had the site shut down, the question I want to ask is how did the MPAA get control of the domain?
I bet they went to the host provider showed them the court order and asked for the domain, if that is the case then LokiTorrent should sue the hosting company...
This is not the first time we at/. have seen states and countries go this route but they almost always end up back with Microsoft but with a discount on their licence.
I don't know about you guys but I won't believe it until I see office workers using it, before then it is just a negotiation ploy to save some money with Microsoft (Why else announce it early?)..
Interactive learning has always been known to be better than passive learning any teacher will tell you that (remember the board games they use to teach you ABC?)
It's just that most people in a position to add this kind of technology are not qualified to or do not see the benefit of doing so.
The education will catch up with the technology eventually and then we will see something new.
Well, I am very good at what I do... but to the best of my knowledge when I was five years old I did not have any kind of 'natural' ability. I learnt what I know and know what I've learnt.
It has also been my experience that women are at least just as competent as men when it comes to both areas and especially with maths women often do better.
I believe this kind of thing is misguided rubbish spread by those too ignorant to say otherwise and rather baseless within its supporting evidence.
If I was to be asked why I think there aren't so many women in science and maths, I would put it down to two things - A. Social Gender Roles / Attitudes and B. Opportunities / Encouragement. (Yes! A and B are linked)
Notice that these things have NOTHING to do with 'natural ability' at all (whatever that is) and more to do with the society as we live. Here in the UK you will find MORE women in science and maths.
I'm sorry, but does anyone else find this silly? You can get a longer sentence for hacking than you can for a rape! And they didn't even get any credit card information..
I mean if they broke in and took down the entire corp. network or put the company into administration then yeah sure, harsh it up... But where is the justification for a 9year sentence?
Also, if you trespassed (into the office) and tried to steal a book of credit card information and let's add criminal damage (broken window) you would not get near five years let alone 9!
This research has some serious flaws. It is essentially based on information for a single summer, the other information presented even contradicts the conclusions it draws. The estimations on temperature growth are not really supported by anything - I think it was written to grab headlines.
You might want to read though it and draw your own conclusions before you buy into the media hype.
I am just counting down to the point when someone releases a filter to block all light on this wavelength. You might even be able to make one with stuff you can currently buy at the DIY shop. This would not effect the filming because the light it would filter is not visible. To this 'detector' the camera's lens with the filter would show as a black blob (non-detectable).

Lets hope this one will be better than it looks.

You make a very good point... Apple ripped off Longhorn! Those bastards... That's the only way to explain the similarities between the two...

It is 50k in total not 50k each as the blurb suggests. RTFA!

It does sound good.. but remember this is also the country that decided to import American law as part of a 'free-trade' type agreement.

Yes because we at /. love Google..
Google is a constant source of information and a geeks friend - if the index has doubled so has our supply of information. Information rules!
