The only good way to patch MS * is to remove it. MS Windows is the most successful virus of all time. It comes with a veriety of payloads some of which delete files, crash file systems, open back doors, etc. Patch MS Windows for good, ditch it.
Keep secret about the idea, find another job, wait 6 months to a year to make good on your idea and then go with it. Oh, and at the new job make damn sure you don't agree to the same draconian IP arangement.
A theory of how things work is only as good as that theory's predictions. Ptolemy's model must have been very useful for predicting the position of celestial objects or it would have been put aside even 'longer' ago. It's only when a model is in direct conflict with observed data that it is in trouble: even if there is no formulated model that works with the new observations.
'Dark' energy and matter will only be in serious trouble when that model no longer explains observed data.
Some of the old games have great plot line or unusual play. Only an idiot (such as yourself) would assume that older games are not worth having. If I had to start keeping all the old consoles around just because some dickless half wit (like yourself) wanted to orphan prior games in order to save a few cents per console then I'd have racks and racks of consoles. That's not a reasonable propasisition.
When the PS2 came out I sold the old PS because the new one could run the old games. When the PS3 comes out I'll want to ditch the PS2. I don't have room for all the boxes it would take to run all the old games if Sony breaks compatibility with the PS3. Between the PC, the GC and PS it's getting crowded in the game room. I plan to get an Xbox and if the XB2 breaks compatibility with the XB then forget it. I don't think I get either one at least for a while.
The L2 point is beyond the Earth's umbra and lies in the region of
Earth's penumbra called the annular umbra. Further the planed orbit for
the JWST will not exactly be at L2 but rather in a more stable
configuration around L2.
Who would pay to upgrade their radio for such marginal value? If you want CD sound then put in a CD and you ger that with out the commercials. Also given that cars in inherently noisy places to begin with makes it worth even less. This will be a forgotten technology.
Well, you got me there. I don't know what would make me think the editors would run such a story. I would hope that the/. powers that be would be open all suggestions which are technically plausible with in the budget they have to run such an operation. It may be that this is already at that level.
/. is bogging for the nerds by the nerds. It is self nerding, uh,
regulating. The point is to allow the cream of the crop of messages to
bubble up in points. Because it is regulated by many different people
there will be many mod-ings that appear questionable: which may
require wading through a few more comments than one may want.
If all you really care about is getting a +5 then just keep posting
about SCO and $699. Throw in some M$FT bashing and you'll have no end
of positive moderator comments to boost your ego.
On the other hand if you are interested in a blog for the masses
(nerdly masses that is) then/. works pretty well. If you have
practical suggestions for making/. work better then write and submit
an article about how you would go about doing that. I'm sure we'd all
love to hear your suggestions.
Instead you could make a closed loop heat exchange. You'll need to 1.5" to 2" ID tubes that you can wind together so that the heat from one tube may be exchanged to the other. Thin copper tubing should work well for this purpose. One of the tubes is connected at both ends to the out with a fan to drive air into it. The other is connected accross your heat sink(s) for your computer. you'll still want to use an air filter for the exterior air pipe to help keep it from becoming cloged. By seperating the two lines and restring the outside air, you'll not be adding dirt to your PC.

I do. My company's DNS server is great. It's a Windows XP server and it works almost everyday. Because it's not up all the time means my staff gets more done because they're not surfing the web on those 'off' days. Also because it's actually off more than on it must be more resistant to viruses: after all one cannot infect a machine that's not running! Oh, I'm happy with my DNS server. Hang on, I just need to submit this bid before it closes. There I now have a brand new in the box Lamborghini for only $258.79: this eBay stuff is great. I feel sorry for you guys out there that don't run Windows servers.
You have never worked in an ISO9000 shop. Of course that doesn't mean that processes are any good. It does mean that the processes are documented and we stand by them.
There are some good software shops out there that do a good job of vetting their code of bugs: like the guys who make VMWare. Then there are other shops that don't: like the guy who make MS Windows.
Besides it's too late to require government involvement. The accepted industry practice of putting out buggy crap has already been established with the notable exceptions where NASA(proof that one can't catch every bug) and the FDA(proof that one can wade through immense bureaucratic red tape) are concerned.
It's the level of virus in your blood that makes you sick. Once you have contracted a virus your body never completely gets rid of every single invader. A healthy body however can keep them in check. If this device can be employed to work against viruses then it may also prove to extend the lives of those who have really nasty viruses that elude the bodies defenses like AIDs, Hepatitis C, and if used in time maybe even Ebola. By bringing down the level of infection then it'll give the body more time to build up it's own defenses: it is a race to bring the levels down before significant damage occurs to organs and other tissues. Or with anthrax infections it's not the bacterium itself that kills but specifically it's the toxin that the bacteria produces as a waste product which is lethal. This process if viable for anthrax toxin could have give patients more time to develop their own antibodies to fight the actual pathogen.
CARRIERS
In addition to the duties contained in subsection (b), each incumbent
local exchange carrier has the following duties:
(3) UNBUNDLED ACCESS- The duty to
provide, to any requesting telecommunications carrier for the provision
of a telecommunications service, nondiscriminatory access to network
elements on an unbundled
basis at any technically feasible point on rates, terms, and
conditions that are just, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement and the
requirements of this section and section 252. An incumbent local
exchange carrier shall provide such unbundled network elements in a
manner that allows requesting carriers to combine such elements in
order to provide such telecommunications service.
I also sent an e-mail to the general inquiry address to specifically
ask for clarification on this point. We'll see if the FCC can respond
with any haste.

Does Tux need a Tuxette? What does a penguin in a bikini look like?
Why didn't M$FT call its spreadsheet 'Number'? It would be much more in line with the names of its other offerings.
Yes, and there is also a theory that this has already happened.

No I haven't. Has anyone not from there been there?
True, while MS Windows is inherently a security risk an unsecured Wi Fi network makes it a point of entry for anybody regarless of OS.
I hope they have considered security problems. With out thought this could turn a lot of laptops and PCs in to a distributed SPAM network.

Don't do that!
Microsoft is patenting word processor document based XML files!
M$FT owns XML format for word processors
This all sounds berry confusing.

I agree it would be nice to have a build in spell checker.
I have no idea how they could implement a check for dupes.
