The spelling gauntlet is acceptable for both gauntlet meaning "glove" or "challenge" and gauntlet meaning "a form of punishment in which lines of men beat a person forced to run between them" but this has not always been the case.
It's acceptable to use Gauntlet, and many notable authors have and continue to do so.
Please, if you are going to be a grammar nazi, get your facts straight.

On the TWC DVR, you only get approx. 3 days of program guide data. Want to record something more than 3 days away? Better know what channel and time it's on! Defeats the purpose of a DVR, doesn't it?
I have one here in Columbus, Ohio, and mine tracks two weeks ahead. You just have to SCROLL to it.
On the TWC DVR, there's no way to actually search for a program to record. The only navigation through the list of available programs is to select the first letter of the program, then arrow through pages and pages of programs to find the one you want. Select button, Theme, choose. Or, Select button, Title, choose. Or do it by time. Or both.. Plenty of ways.
Unlike TiVo, the TWC DVR doesn't keep track of which episodes of a show that it's recorded. Result? You end up with several of the exact same episode of South Park recorded, one for each time it's shown during the week, which effectively reduces the total recording capacity. This problem is compounded by the fact that the TWC DVR really only holds closer to 35 hours of TV. Wha? You have to tell it either: Record only new shows, Record *ALL* shows, or Record THIS show. Granted, it takes "all" literally, but I dont consider it a bad interface choice.. its literal and correctly documented.
The TWC DVR is loud -- it hums and the hard disk constantly clatters (so much that I have had to turn up the TV to hear over it). All TiVos are basically silent. I have mine directly across from my bed. TV muted, no sound. None. Its quieter than my computer by leaps and bounds. Apparently YMMV.
The TWC DVR crashes. At least once a week, it will crash in some (usually new and spectacular) manner. It will freeze, start stuttering, the menus will crash, the audio will start recording poorly, and other problems. Sometimes it will restart itself, sometimes you have to pull its power cable and force it to restart. I have yet to have even the slightest software glitch in my TiVo Series2. Your solution is related to your problem. You should *never* de-power the unit. It causes many problems. I've only had two problems, and both were due to pay-per-view, NOT the box itself. But both times they specificially asked if I 'lost power' to the box, and explained the problems it caused (which is in the manual).
can't be remotely programmed, doesn't play music and slideshows over a network, Thats right - its not a network appliance, and its not a media PC. It is a DVR. It does EXACTLY what it says it is.
Again, the TWC DVR is not a TiVo. Despite the lower cost and the two-channel recording, if you have a TiVo you will never be satisfied with the TWC DVR Having used both the navigation system for the TiVo, and the TWC box, I gotta say, its a hands down choice for me. The TWC box wins without a thought.
I find the TiVo controls to be cluttered, confusing, and difficult to navigate. The TWC stuff just *WORKS*. Its simple, well designed, and best of all, yes, its cheaper.
The discussion hasnt even teterred out, and its far from a clear thing. At best, its a misunderstanding/disagreement over how best to handle a new file format.
At worst, its the Mozilla team saying (rightly) that the best way to handle.torrent files is the same as any other media app - via a plugin.
From the discussion on the bug report, it sounds like the torrent dev's havent made a plugin, dont realize the power of plugins, or dont want to make a plugin.
If there was a fully functional plugin that couldnt do some particular thing, that would be different. Instead, its just a standalone app, asking for the Moz team to 'link it up'.
The offline company runs a retail location (address is street address of far away mailboxes etc). It sells to any and all -- shockingly its biggest account is.. duh duh DUUUh - the online company.
It aint brain science.. No retailer has to reveal who they sell to nor how much they sell at.
You will no doubt notice that the article contains an explicit description of where and what "Andalucia" is (a region in Spain).
If the target audience for the article - Spanish citizens! - needs education of that location, why on earth are you insulting Slashdot readers education level?
Perhaps the article submitter could have taken the time to mention that it was a huge chunk of spain.

Nope.
The Enterprise from (TOS) did in fact enter the atmosphere. Remember ST4: The voyage home? Many notable scenes in earth atmosphere.
Multiple episodes as well.
Enterprise was - whether intentionally designed for it or not - often in the atmosphere.

The truly trek geeky apparently arent here.
Plenty of people are asking why they tested the atmospheric effects, when enterprise never goes there.
In fact it did, in multiple episodes, and in multiple movies.
Star Trek 4, multiple TOS episodes, and of course plenty of times in the TNG (granted different design, but still).
The enterprise wasnt designed for it, but its definitely a valid question and test - it's occured more than a few times.

Redhat, Mandrake, and many other vendors of linux are indeed general-purpose, commercial, off-the-shelf operating systems.
Bzzt, Wrong. There are more Apache servers (by far) than IIS servers, and IIS gets more attacks - by over a four to one margin.
It gets more attacks because it is less secure, NOT because of volume.
Yeah, make the color scheme envy-green.. oh wait thats taken..

Just to follow up..
Its been more than 24 hours since I posted, and I've had it running since then.
I still have >2 minute access times for just about anything I click on in freenet. Its horribly slow. Its *worse* than dialup - and this on broadband.
I dont expect alot, but 1 minute response times would be a good starting point..
I just installed .52 and boy, is it unusably slow.
Two minutes to load the WARNING page in front of the main 'search engine' of sorts that it has.
Its worse than being on dialup. I'm all for the anonymity, but I'm on broadband, and it CRAWLS.
Front:
If the network is up, I'm reading slashdot.
Back:
If you can see this, I'm out of my chair, fixing the network so I can read slashdot.

So they wont sell to retailers that sell online.
No problem.
You set up two companies, one online, one off.
The offline company runs a retail location (address is street address of far away mailboxes etc). It sells to any and all -- shockingly its biggest account is.. duh duh DUUUh - the online company.
It aint brain science.. No retailer has to reveal who they sell to nor how much they sell at.
Absolutely hilarious comedy.
Worth it just for Arsenio Hall's "Having a bad day" segment at the beginning of the movie.
And of course "Bullshit! Or not?" was a great segment too.
Just overall, a great comedy.

You are thinking of Verizon Communications. Verizon Wireless is fairly independent of VZC although they are a business unit of VZC.
