Mail and storage are just the beginning. If Google really tried to develop an OS, it would give Microsoft a run for their money. I don't know if they would do it or not. But they definitely have the power to scare the competition in other areas.
That's the simple way to do measurement. Meters, kilograms and seconds. Only problem is, if we do go SI, we'll have to resort to using Kelvins for temperature. Metric on the other hand, uses Celcius. I do admit though, it would be weird to see the Weather channel showing a temperature map with 30's in red and 40's in white.
What's the temperature out there? Oh, it's 303 Kelvins.
If it's one thing people should have learned from Blaster and the like is that it's still out there. It's on the wires, passing through routers and scanning for its next victim. It's not going to go away anytime soon. So before anyone just blindly plugs into the Internet, just remember that it's out there, waiting for you.
The modems I've had working under Linux were US Robotics modems. I had a 56k fax internal ISA modem and after that came the 56k PCI pro performance modem. Both worked fine under Linux. I went to PCI because the new board I bought didn't have ISA slots.
Things to watch out for: If the modem's box says "for Windows*", it's a winmodem. If it shows up in Windows as a PCI communication device, it's a winmodem. PCI hardware modems will show up in Windows as PCI serial controllers. And Linux shouldn't have much trouble finding them. Also, price difference is another way to tell the difference. With US Robotics hardware modems, you're actually paying for a five year warranty. But you're getting a good piece of hardware.
Winmodems under Linux have been a big problem for a long time. I remember back in '99 when I had a winmodem with Linux. Things have gotten better since then, but it's still a significant issue. And the fact that a tech at a computer store said that hardware modems weren't worth the cost made my stomach turn. Winmodems are notorious for increased CPU usage (uses the CPU as the controller. very stupid) and leaving an absolute mess in the Windows registry. There are actually winmodem registry cleaners!
You can use an unattended install with hotfixes. Qchain.exe is a file that automatically installs the hotfixes in the correct order. The article mentions where to download qchain.exe.
Certifications can cost big bucks!!! Unless you've got the cash or a company that's willing to pay for the cert, you're not able to get one! That means that unless you can financially afford it and pass it on the first try, you might not be able to get a job! That's just not right. The cost for the A+ is about ridiculous. And then you get into the MSCA and MCSE exams....outrageous!
DOS attack -- Hail storm, Pong or Arkanoid with gold bricks

Excuse me? Where do you get off calling me a pig? If you're pissed off enough, you'd be suprised how much energy you can build up inside. And that energy can be put to constructive use.
The Klez virus infected PC's via a MIME exploit in Outlook Express 5.x. Just clicking on the e-mail would infect the computer. It wasn't even necessary to open the attachment.

Hmm. It must be due Windows not having real mode drivers for USB.

Mice and keyboards are simple devices that would have nothing to gain by going to USB. The only possible advantage would on systems without IOAPIC's. You would gain extra IRQ's by using USB mice and keyboards.

But BIOS's have an option to enable USB Legacy support.
The flag is a sign of what's wrong with America. People are embracing something tangible when in fact, it's the intangible freedoms that matter the most. The flag is a just a piece of cloth. Without the freedoms it represents, it means nothing. Materialism has gotten the best of many Americans. Hopefully, one day, people will realize that it's what you can't hold in your hand that counts.
In America, there's a fine line between journalism and propaganda. Sadly enough, ratings are often held higher than the intent of being completely truthful on a story. By omitting facts, stories that would otherwise be overlooked become hot commodities.
I hate to sound cynical but the Microsoft Multimedia Transport Protocol (MTP) seems to be silently screaming the word "vulnerability." I know it's just to connect devices, but I have a feeling that somehow, some way, it's got some sort of security issues that are going to surface shortly after its released.
If it's an OEM PC, then chances are, it'll be proprietary. That means that only certain hardware would be available to use with it. Upgrades could get costly just for that reason. There's also the risk of viruses being able to delete your game data.
But being both a console and a pc would increase game availability dramatically. If it's not available for Xbox, it might be for the PC. And having them together as one unit would keep the gamer on one system.
It is highly possible that our government could be working with aliens at Area 51 and/or Wright Patterson AFB. Why? The answer is simple. It's what Chris Carter, creator of the X-Files calls,"The truth hidden in plain sight." The X-files is not quite as sci-fi as you might want to believe; there are unexplained events that the government calls "x-files". The psychological trickery and mind games used to hide secrets is typical for people arrested at Area 51. If UFO's and aliens are made to look ridiculous in the eyes of science, then anyone who were to witness such things would be immediately discreditted. The truth is hidden in plain sight and the government has pulled the right psychological strings to prevent even eye witnesses from being believed.
Also, Michael Crichgaugh tells Agent Mulder about Roswell and how it served as a diversion from the cold war. Crichgaugh also explained to Mulder how war was the excuse our government used to keep going after WW II. That's how the government kept the economy going. It justified spending more money on war even though there was no war.
The reason the government would want the existence of extraterrestrial life to be kept secret is simple IMHO. The government is a parent and society is the child. Until the child has matured enough to handle the truth, it will not be allowed to know about it.
And Area 51 and Wright Patterson AFB are also in close ties with each other. Both do experimental stuff. Hangar 18 is at Wright Pat. And both probably have something to do with SKYNET. The military wants AI, badly and SKYNET is more real than people think.

That's due to Mozilla trying to imitate IE. It's not required for Mozilla to function.

You need a privacy statement. It's very important, especially for what you're doing.
You mean they can't just wave their hands and make it disappear?

Maybe emotions could be used to help provide movement as well. An intense emotion such as anger has been known to motivate people.

It's old news but it's relevant. George W Bush kept Area 51's environmental secrets classified for yet another year. This keeps them exempt from environmental laws.

SKYNET is inside Cheyenne Mountain.
How about they do a star trek that shows how the Federation began and the first star ship?
