Is this a legal risk for Microsoft? They are providing an add-on for their operating systems that prevents certain applications from working properly. Sure, these applications aren't popular but many of them are legal.
Wine is apparently able to use Windows printer drivers. I've never used this feature myself and there doesn't seem to be that much info about it but this may be worth examining.
This particular device certainly isn't a threat because it's too expensive. However, what about when less expensive versions come out? If a machine like this was a few hundred dollars I'm sure a lot of people would fill theirs with movies they borrow from friends or rent.
Maybe the MPAA wants to stop this now before that becomes a reality. If they permit this sort of thing now they may be unable to stop it later.
I don't think the the HTTP Referer header is going to go away. However, that shouldn't stop you. There are plenty of tools for spoofing that field. There is Spooph for IE on x86 and spooFXplorer for Firefox. You can also find a large collection of spoofs on that site, though they're all for porn.
No, there is going to be an XP Pro RME and and XP Home RME. Microsoft says so in their FAQ. They also say that they will price the RME the same as the regular release. IMHO it should be a bit cheaper.
It's more like he left it in the glove compartment, and locked the car. However, he was in a bad neighbourhood and most car locks are easy to open so a thief got to it. Not having a having a virus scanner could be like not having a car alarm.
I would totally expect that. It's part of how they make money. If they know more about the person viewing their web site they can offer more accurately targeted ads.
Getting the user's login and password can't be that hard. One can easily find password recovery programs for Outlook Express. (I'm sure most of the people getting 0wned are using Outlook Express.)
That can also happen to zombies that send spam without using the ISP's SMTP server. If they do use the ISP's sever that should make the ISP notice sooner though.
What about if you just want a single track, not the whole CD? Is there any place where you can order custom CDs containing tracks from different albums?
Some spammers that offer an opt-out option have a huge number of mailing lists. Sure, you can opt out of one mailing list but that's not going to help much. You'll still be on all the other lists. Yes, you could keep opting out every time you get spam but you'll end up spending a lot of time on that and the spammer can always create new lists. In fact it seems that they every list typically gets used once so you're not accomplishing much.
In the case of remote starters, being able to start the engine remotely might help a bit but a thief still has to break into a locked car and unlock the steering wheel.
Yes, it is a modem. It doesn't have to use a specific modulation scheme to be a modem. In fact the article on modems talks about a modem that uses this particular modulation scheme: in 1962 AT&T released the first commercial modem, the Bell 103. Using frequency-shift keying, where two tones are used to represent the 1's and 0's of digital data, the 103 had a transmission rate of 300 bit/s.
That's silly. Whoever wants to watch TV on a computer can easily get an analog TV tuner/capture card or a graphics card which includes that. Also, I'm sure they'll be releasing set-top boxes for IPTV.
Why do you need a PBX? Yes, I suppose it's easiest to do this using a PBX that supports VoIP, but that's not the only way. Couldn't you do the same thing with a voice modem? It's also pretty simple to interface a sound card to a phone line.

This will probably use Microsoft Sender ID which is incompatible with open source. This would be a really big problem. Fortunately even AOL rejected it. Meanwhile Yahoo has developed DomainKeys, which are compatible with open source.

You mean like George Bush?

Will many ISP SMTP servers get automatically blacklisted because of this?
That method sucks. It is slow and labour-intensive and you end up compressing the music for a 2nd time and making the quality worse.

I think he was just trying to be funny.

Does the fact that this is P2P change anything regarding royalties? One could say that all the users are broadcasting.
Yes, remote starters exist. They're used by people to warm up or air condition their car before they get in it.
Do you realize that your security system has now been compromised? Someone just has to look at the picture and make a key like that.

The support the NX bit where it's available. However, many CPUs don't support that. In those cases stackguarding is the only thing that they can do.

Look at the statistics, in particular look at single digit frequencies. You can't compress Pi that way.
