they relesed it to the MSDN,OEM, and enterprise customers about 2 weeks ago. then, on monday-tuesday it went through the automatic updates service, then last night through windows update web page. it's the same servicepack for home/pro/mediacenter/tabletpc, so they wouldn't have a reason to stagger by version of xp.
Kind of sucks, doesn't it? Everyone suffers because two groups - artists and copyright infringers - decide to take everything to the most extreme extents they can.
Its the RIAA and CopyRight Infringers. the artists see very little, and the RIAA is just pissed that now they have a few million less coming in with CD Sales.
Most artists (except metallica - YUCK) could care less. they make their money from concerts and adverts.
Here's a program that really works, and they have a beta with some cool features, and it functions well in a networked environment. Corp. licensing is $13/client initially then $4/client per year for maintenance.

I'm doing testing in an environment where there are over 1200 PC's and it works great!
if you opt to not use/purchase the program/music because you feel that it's too expensive and/or not of good enough quality, but only have 1 thing that does that, i.e. one version of this song, 1 maker of microsoft windows, etc... then the decrease in sales gets thrown on the shoulders of "HEY!! People are pirating our stuff, that's why our sales are down, CONGRESS HELP US!!!!!" and that's not good for the people because then you get situations like what is going on.
The only way, is to organize boycots and have them be widely publicised as to why you are boycotting the product, and what will remedy the situation, that way a valid drop in sales due to people not wanting the product won't get blamed entirely on piracy.
Umm, i dunno about you, but i've gotten a lot of email with no point, i.e. lots of random words filling the email message. These sell nothing, yet i still recieve over 50/day. This is a good way to stop that kind of spamming. It's one thing when its an ad for v14gra, but when it's not even an ad, what the hell is it for????
However, you can tell fairly easily that someone put up an advertisement that you didn't authorize and take it down. takes all of 10 sec. They get no pity from me.
Actually, i would think more like magician, cuz that's what it really is isn't it??? place hand on monitor, have 1D10T try again, hey whaddya know, it works, $30 please....
is that ALL that you were charging... On many occasions I have fixed systems and asked what i felt a fair price, and the people looked at me like i was crazy, they gave me 3 or 4 times what i asked and wouldn't let me take any less.
Most of the things you mentioned can be done with CrossOverOffice, Wine, Winex3, and/or some of the new driver wrappers that are under development to allow windows drivers to run on linux. So, kindof a baseless statement, unless you just don't know OSS well enough to have figured these things out yet.
Did you even think about what you said, you can't buy Dell, Gateway, HP/Compaq, AlienWare, or most other systems without Windows on it. Some eMachines come with Lin---s (lindows), but they are hard to come by.
Micro$hit does whatever they can to prevent these companies from selling systems without Windows. I personally won't buy a name-brand desktop system, however, looking at laptops, i can't find ANY that have the No OS option.
However, if you purchase them and it can be proven your reasons for purchasing the licenses, it can be said that you knew what you were buying and purchased it anyway, thus you more than likely would be screwed.
However, that isn't the point that he was trying to make, some people just don't like to do more than 1 thing at a time on their machine. I couldn't handle it, but some people(the crazies!!!;))
Him having said "so they do not run X or screen, and they have modified their kernel to disable virtual consoles", ALT+F# would then NOT work because they aren't turned on in the kernel, think before you speak
A quote from: http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/philosophy.html Fre e software is a matter of freedom: people should be free to use software in all the ways that are socially useful.

These possibilities make software as useful as it is; we believe software users should be able to make use of them.
IANAL but couldn't this violate free speech? who makes the decision as to what gets redirected? did they have any sort of mention of this in documentation included with the router, or did they just think no one would notice??!
I am from South Dakota, just wanted to say, no offense taken. This place can be likened to HELL.
During the summer, it hits in the 90's-100's, lots of rain, tornadoes (had 40 in 1 day this summer), etc...; then, in the winter, can get 100 or more inches of snow, gets on a regular basis to -10 degrees, and, not all that unfrequently, stay below -20 degrees Fahrenhiet(spelling?) for a month or more.
When people tell me to go to hell, i just say "No thanks, i live there already."
Tom Daschle is from my home town (PRICK!) L. Frank Baum( the guy who wrote the wizard of OZ) was from there as well, kinda makes me wonder if dorothy being in kansas was hopeful thinking.
And of course you've heard of our EX-Governor, Congressman William J. Janklow (south dakota's William Clinton equivalent, just not the BJ's under the desk, cuz he's too damn ugly) who recently ran a stop sign going nearly 20MPH over the speed limit causing a motorcyclist to run into his Cadillac, killing the motorist.
HighSchoolers are trying to get out of this state, in droves, literally, so in about 30 years, there won't be anybody here anyways.
Interesting fact, Rhode Island, the size of 1 county in south dakota, has a higher population than South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming combined.

This Lawsuit is just a bunch of horse$hit

The only issue with that law is, if i try this calling you, i am not a telemarketer and not subject to those rules and regulations.
not correct.

Only 1 problem with the suggestion,
if you opt to not use/purchase the program/music because you feel that it's too expensive and/or not of good enough quality, but only have 1 thing that does that, i.e. one version of this song, 1 maker of microsoft windows, etc... then the decrease in sales gets thrown on the shoulders of "HEY!!

"As far as I can tell, all "centrino" is is a lower speed CPU notebook with a built in 802.11 board built in."
;)
ummm. built in 802.11 board built in, kinda redundant there don't you think???
Actually, i would think more like magician, cuz that's what it really is isn't it??? place hand on monitor, have 1D10T try again, hey whaddya know, it works, $30 please....

that's not 232 files, that's 232 VERSIONS of AIX. that's a hell of a lot of code.
