I hope they aren't like my Xmas tree lights; if a bulb breaks they all turn off and you have to check each one manually.
Of course the LEDs in a pad don't work like that, but it would be funny if they did...
all Internet Explorer 6.0 versions are affected, except Windows XP SP2 installations
So unpatched versions of IE are unsafe; I should imagine this is true for many applications. Is this really relevant news or just Microsoft bashing for the sake of it?
... the irony of communist leaders having a sense of morality. Next they'll be offering to pay for for the bullets for your execution just to show that 'they really do care'
If CDBurnerXP supports backing up yet, but I think we can expect it to be in future versions of the software. It's a good free alternative to Nero and the developers are pretty responsive to new feature requests so it's worth keeping in mind.
Internet Explorer gone, but it's too well embedded. However, with all its vulnerabilities I wonder if Microsoft will try to change this. Oh wait...
*reality strikes*
How long before the next version of WMP is too well embedded to be removed?
In HighSchool we had a computer lab(Macs) and we managed to get a second hand PC one day. Our Mac zealot teacher hated PCs and tried to demonstrate that 'they were so crap that you can't even break them' (stay with me on this one folks).
The RAM chips were loose inside the PC and to demonstrate he nailed the power switch and shook the case. *rattle* *rattle*
He then opened it up and shoved the RAM back into their slots and then *tore* the CPU out of its socket. Amazingly no pins broke, but some did bend and I swear they spelt out 'SOS'. Shoving it back in really forcefully(there was a slight crunch sound, kinda like when you eat Frosties), he booted the PC...
It worked. Unbelievably. Of course, it had issues with stability after that.
In retaliation we decided to test the voltage selector on his radio the next day. The switch worked, the radio did not. Woops.
Old Old Old! They are already into the second season (or just finished it) on the BBC and the article only appears on/. now??? Speedy, like a runover hamster...

Sorry, we've just been outsourced.
And how long before they start insisting on other implants? Like checking if your kids are using drugs/drinking/smoking?
Many more support requests, especially from XP Home (Student) users who installed the first official release of SP2 (not RTM).

What alternatives are there to Winamp? I mean good alternatives and not just any old crap.
The best one I've seen for Windows is QCD
Is to /. their servers! Go team!

Ooops, looks like I upset a lot of Bush fans. It is not a troll, it is a joke :-)

He has only just discovered where Iraq is. Do you think he has had time to learn how to read?
Has /. become the IT Support Centre for the world? Have we been outsourced?
It should be banned because it's a crap game? The joke wore off after Leisure Suit Larry 1...
What is the size limit per email sent? If it's unlimited I'm pretty sure I can reach that 100GB plateau with my Jenna Jameson collection...
Some of us sit all day on /. nailing F5 waiting for the opportunity to point out shcpelling errors. Don't take away our thunder :-)
What the heck possessed me to write that? I blame it on delirium caused by the news that WMP cripple/RIAA ware is to be removed from Windows...

We didn't have time for sleep! Get back into that deathmatch private and let me hear your war cry! AAAARRGGHH!!!
Dangermouse! Now armed with a laser!
If I was to go 10 rounds with Tyson, I'd rather have titanium ears...
A boxer with a glass-chin can be knocked out quite easily, but what about one with a titanium-chin?

This is getting silly. They should call it 'Batshit' just for a laugh.
