Somebody forgot to read the article and exposed his blatant bullshitting abilities. The music is not altered in any way, neither is the TOC, so it plays on every hardware (or at least, 99%, as there are always some pieces of old hardware CD-ROMs that won't read some CDs for X reasons).
I liked the name Centrino but they used it for something else. Too bad eh. Maybe it sounds too much like Celeron, gives the Pentium 5 a bad name. How about the Hexeon?
Since when did propaganda become journalism? It's not more legal to make a copy of a CD or downloading MP3s here than smoking pot. The only difference here is in Canada we don't actively pursue people who transgress the law, you don't see police officers going door to door to check if everything is legal in your house eh?
The fact that the RIAA has the kind of power to come and check your PERSONAL logs at your ISP and check if you're downloading something illegal is as dubious as someone putting a videocam in my home and watching me then using the tapes against me. It's just plain unethical and illegal, you can't just barge in.
Authorities take 2-10 years to make strong cases against people, why would the RIAA just take logs and use them inside a week? Can i get arrested for saying on the net "I'm going to kill him" as a joke and then the person gets killed the day after? How strong can an ISP log be used as evidence?
"But anti-aliasing is more than just making something slightly fuzzy so that you can't see the *jagged edges*: it's a way of fooling the eye into seeing straight lines and smooth curves where there are none."
Basically, it's a human-perception hack to make you believe everything is soft and rounded when it's not.
I'm not saying we should disregard the terrorist threat. But this is blowing out of proportions.
Everything is about them. You know the big blackout? Ya terrorists. Tomorrow theres gonna be more airplanes flying into buildings? Sure. Oh and the terrorists have a lot of nuclear warheads that can travel 3000kms, sure. What the government are saying is as much "terrorism" as just blowing a bomb inside a crowded cafe. It strikes fear into the hearts of people with dubious facts.
Fight with useful tools, dont let "Terrorist-Proof" be just another corporate catch-phrase.
PS : Never watched bowling for columbine, but the guy is a major jackass, i'll give you that.
By letting ourselves drown in fear, we give the terrorists exactly what they want. To scare us. Stop talking about terrorists, stop saying everything is because of them, showing their faces. Do not live in terror, because then all is lost.
1 - Open a document 2 - Scroll for interesting links you'll like to read later on. 3 - Open then in a new window, minimize 4 - Read the article 5 - Tada, other pages are loaded, and you don't have to cache 100,000 useless sites.
Doesn't take software to know that pre-loading is good for you. Having everything "pre-fetched" is not a new concept.
And bash MS but when you have 90% of the market for desktops, of course all flaws will appear blown out in proportions. Imagine having almost everyone drive Ford cars. Then the recall rate for Fords will increase. Of course it will, it's called proportions.
Sure their coding isn't flawless, far from it, but they really are doing their best. It doesn't serve them or their customers to "make" these holes.
All your applications will crash at startup even before the OS is loaded, just like with XP! See how ICQ can't connect because the firewall/network isnt connected yet and still loading!
I love XP but thats my #1 gripe. I hope LH takes care of this.
Most Adware programs do not run after running a Ad-Aware style program. That why Kazaa Lite exists, with it's dummy client_dl.dll or something file, I forgot the name. It's not important, but someone will probably correct me.
Open IE, Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, uncheck Automatically check for new IE Version. Simple as that. Also, remove the super microsoft link from the starting homepage.

Wait aren't you also a slashdot reader? Why do you keep depreciating yourselves?
Who will sue them for GPL infringement? Since it's "free", no one has the rights to uphold it, no?
- We are suing you for GPL violations!
- Says who? You have no case.
We know who the defendant is but who prosecutes?

Cancel your subscription. That's what I did with Star Wars Galaxies. The game clearly isn't ready for release.
Might i suggest Final Fantasy Origins for PSX? It's a graphics enhanced FF1.
If you think 4 white mages are hard, try 4 thieves. It's insanely sucky. Even in Ninja form.

"I posted two replies before I realised that I've specifically checked off that I don't care about this on my homepage preferences page."
Then you don't actually "don't care". Talk about blasting yourself.
You guys have no fucking sense of humor. You wouldn't know what needs a +1 funny if it bit you in the ass.
Wrong.

You can't attack something that's dead.
FSAA doesn't make scenes beautiful, it makes them blurry and slower. Sharpness > Jaggies.

Why would you stop selling something that's already dead anyhow?

My Documents and then according to category. My Pictures, My Drivers, My Porn Videos, My Pirated Software, My...
You get the picture. Don't forget to lock everything from your roommate's access privileges. It's *my* porn.
If you're a typical slashdotter i would put it in a folder at the end of the harddrive where it says "infrequently accessed files".

No it is intended to protect Symantec from widespread loss of cash from sales. I'm fine with my counterfeit copy, thanks. Don't protect me.
