There is a 99.9% Link between violent crime and schooling. 99.9% of all perpetrators of violent crime have a history of going to school, whether it is preschool, kindergarten, primary, secondary, tertiary, private, or public schools, whether for long or short periods. Therefore I urge you all to Think of the Children, and immediately BAN all forms of school, where no doubt violent criminals of the future are being trained.

All the time! Does ANYONE know the answer? Or why if it's reading a bad CD/DVD then no programs can access the HDD either? Or why a hung program that's REALLY hung won't allow ctrl-alt-del to bring up the taskman? Win98 never had that problem and it was cooperative multitasking.
Coming out of standby is pretty fast, but hibernation is really bad. I see my apps, but when you click on them, it loads for 5-10s. Then the next app, etc
I thought maybe ti's not ready yet. So next time I had it come out of hibernation 30min b4 I used it. Same thing, the apps are still not awake!
while it is ridiculous to ban knives as they are useful in cooking etc, I for one would support a ban on Cricket bats. A game invented by the British to dull the minds of their colonies - that's how my teacher put it once.
BS. goodwill can only be listed if it is bought - ie buying a firm with $1m physical assets for $2m - $1m is goodwill - WHICH STILL DEPRECIATES. Of course maybe US accounting standards allow companies to make up a figure whenever they want. In which case my company, which I just invented 3min ago, has a goodwill assets worth $10m and therefore has total assets worth $10m and $2 (I donated my pen to it).
"why it's infringement to share a CD or DVD across a family"
Imagine copyright utopia, where a consumer buys 6 copies of a music CD, because at home is his wife, 2 kids, a dog, and a goldfish. The well educated copyright respecting consumer would of course buy extra copies, to cater for the number of guests his home is licensed to receive at a time.
A 'hash' value eh? Did they not know that for every single 'hash' value there are an infinite number of files that can match that value? This is mathematically provable. And I guess that adding/changing EXIF info in images would also change its hash, since this 'tool' isn't "reading" the content of the files.
So therefore it's not going to catch real files, and infinitely give false positives, landing millions in jail and clogging up the court system, ruining lives.
Don't be tricked. It's just a ploy to promote Microsoft's Windows Live download service. As an MSN messenger user who uses a 3rd party MSN client, I'm not sure I like this. Why not let me download from Microsoft's site like everything else?
I'm not sure what you mean, but it's well known that many(most?) photo comps are used to collect content for stock photography DVDs etc. Seriously, most stock photography is probably collected rather than bought. I saw an article somewhere a dad found photos of his children from a comp used in some advertising w/o his consent. Your example, they prolly have a disclaimer that puts the blame back on that someone else if they happen to get caught.
If you read the history of Facebook, you would know this is not beyond them.
Exactly. I thought the job of the government is to ensure that food is safe, not to prevent testing to see if food is safe. I guess now they expect the Japanese to say 'oh well, they're not allowed to test their beef, so let's lift the ban on imports'
Well maybe IR light emitters have health consequences or need approval? An easier solution would be airport style security at the door. Until cammers invent wooden cameras, the problem would be solved. Full body Xrays would also stop the scourge of non-cinema food being brought into the theatre!
Lots of people think that using YouTube without tags on their videos means it can't be searched and thus private unless you know the specific username or URL. And it does appear private to them. Short of company betrayal nobody can stumble on their stuff. Same for all those other sites. I've tried to tell them otherwise but until this incident I had no example why. And to this they're still going to say viacom doesn't care about them.

That's all very fine, but how long does it take from the login screen to a usable PC?
for me in 8.04 it takes about 1.5min
so let's educate some of you:
adware isn't illegal.
while it is ridiculous to ban knives as they are useful in cooking etc, I for one would support a ban on Cricket bats. A game invented by the British to dull the minds of their colonies - that's how my teacher put it once.
So if you invite 21 of your friends to your xmas party, that's spam?
otoh, I wish my uni would stop sending me spam about scheduled network downtime every week.
There's plenty software that corrects for lens distortion.
So I guess this may become illegal one day?
Kinda like our 20 armed jellyfish eh?
Looks a bit small to be called a 'creature'

So, by the same calc how much is Windows worth?

With a jpeg you have freedom to add crap to the exif tags, wonder if that's enough?
Well, there's my /. post for the day, 'slow down cowboy!'
Now what we need:
1 change passport photo into teddy bear suit
2 go thru customs in teddy bear suit

Great idea.

They know your wife, supposedly she only has 1 husband can't they look up the name and then from licensing the address?
waiting for Gecko to be completed 4-5yrs behind schedule, finally we get to use it for 2-3yrs and now you say it's "outdated and bloated?"

otoh NEW intranet pages will end up being coded for IE6 mode too...
MS stuffs everyone over and now they're back for more.
since when were data ports standardized anyway?

Why not open it up every 10yrs and copy the media to 'new' media? How hard could that be?
USB 3 low speed==USB 2 low speed==USB 1 low speed
USB 3 full speed==USB 2 full speed=USB 1
USB 3 hi speed==USB 2 hi speed
USB 3 ultra hi speed?
