Not sure if you're trolling... Their implementation works the same as any other. And they weren't 'the first to come up with' it. For instance I was using 'CoolType' in Acrobat Reader before Windows had it (and Adobe didn't invent it either).
Not *quite* that bad - it's per household/address.
There are certainly some unfair things about it. Like, having to pay even if you never watch the BBC! Conversely, not having to pay if you have no TV - even if you read bbc.co.uk / listen to their radio all the time.
My understanding is they get a grant from the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (=State Dept) to provide bbc.co.uk to overseas visitors. The same body pays entirely for the World Service. Naturally that means we Brits still pay for it, just via a different route.
I don't see these issues slowing uptake of RedHat Linux (for example). It's quite possible for a company to 'package' FOSS and add their testing, planning, implementation, and support. Asterisk appears to be a good example of these services, see this post.
Also re the 'Universities are fine' point. These days they depend on commercial services for lots of their revenue, example.
Development tools - uh, I think the parent is talking about scaling to handle volume of users. Not scaling the size of the development team. In any case, if you're taking on more dev staff, $hundreds on another seat of Visual Studio is the least of your expenses.
Your valid point is that for another IIS box you have to pay for another Windows Server license. In a Windows environment, they expect that anyway as part of the expense of a new box.
The point is that by repelling attacks *too* efficiently, the enemy becomes suspicious that you have broken their communications somehow - and one way is by cryptanalysis. So they change their encryption methods, and suddenly you are stuffed.
The Allies were seriously concerned with the prospect of the Axis command finding out that they had broken into the Enigma traffic. This was taken to the extreme that, for instance, though they knew from intercepts the whereabouts of U-boats lying in wait in mid-Atlantic, the U-boats often were not hunted unless a "cover story" could be arranged -- a search plane might be "fortunate enough" to sight the U-boat, thus explaining the Allied attack. Ultra information was used to attack and sink many Afrika Korps supply ships bound for North Africa; but, as in the North Atlantic, every time such information was used, an "innocent" explanation had to be provided: often scout planes were sent on otherwise unnecessary missions, to ensure they were spotted by the Germans.
Actually, seems like a great idea. Buy a decent-looking safe, put NOTHING (valuable) inside, leave it locked, put it somewhere obvious...
Though, your thief probably doesn't know how to get in, and wouldn't try - they'd clean out all the rest - and make a mental note to return ("he must have some good valuables in there").
People run Windows in all kinds of inappropriate applications. How many times have we seen a Windows message box on top of an airport terminal information screen? A jumbo outdoor TV? etc., etc...
Ah, I see. AFAIK there's no way as clean as that, it would be nice though. You'd have to use the WHERE clause against your ORDER BY columns. Restrict them to values > the 1000th value.

Melissa is correct, although, I don't think it is zeroing pages *the whole time*. It keeps track of which pages it has zeroed and presumably it doesn't bother to continuously re-erase them.
According to my copy of Inside Windows NT 2nd ed. (don't have a later edition handy), p.271:
When the memory manager needs a zero-initialized page to service a demand-zero page fault (a reference to a page that is defined to be all zeros, or to a user-mode committed private page that has never been accessed), it first attempts to get one from the zero page list; if the list is empty, it gets one from the free page list and zeros the page...
One reason zero-initialized pages are required is to meet C2 security requirements. C2 specifies that user-mode processes must be given initialized page frames to prevent them from reading a previous process's memory contents. Therefore, the memory manager gives user-mode processes zeroed page frames unless the page is being read in from a mapped file...
The zero page list is populated from the free list by a system thread called the zero page thread (thread 0 in the System process). It waits on an event object to signal it to go to work... However, the zero page thread will run only if all other threads are not running...
Why talk in hypotheticals? The formats exist. They don't work in the way you describe.
It was a funny joke to start with - the idea that you would have an XML document as one huge CDATA section. It seems the joke is so funny that it has become automatic truth, without anyone bothering to check. Maybe it needs listing at snopes.com.
That's your problem right there. It's a bit dumb to assume that users are running at any particular resolution (or that they always run their web browser full screen).
If you drop this requirement your websites will scale to different devices much better.
GSM phones can call 911 even if the 'keylock' is on. On a UK phone, the same goes for the UK emergency number 999. Nice and easy to dial by accident / in your pocket etc.

Late in the day I know - but thanks for that enlightening post.

AFAIK, noise cancelling headphones don't predict. Really, how could you predict truly 'random noise' like the sound of a jet engine. They use microphones to pick up the ambient sound and they play the inverse.

I remember having real speed issues on cable modems as I approached the upload speed limit. I believe this may be why.
Although it may not affect UDP; I dunno.
There certainly are; here's one I use daily.
But judging by your last sentence, you must be trolling.

No, it isn't, not if you're using cmd.exe.
If real things are scrolling through a machine on a belt, how do you insert a fake image?
Wouldn't you have to stop the belt while the fake image scrolls by?

Just for interest... the MSSQL syntax is
...
SELECT TOP 1000
FROM
and there's no default limit.
Although there is a per-connection option you can set
SET ROWCOUNT 1000

You're back-to-front on the chronology. VB 1.0 first came out on Windows. They later added the DOS version.

But the grandparent isn't alone.
Count me in too, I'm not buying until they fix this. I listen to a lot of mix albums and long classical pieces, which demand this.

Of course, don't ask me how I know that, heh.
...also, it's never shy about launching commercial ventures, and using that money to cross-subsidise the UK services.
So here's hoping that once this really gets going, they will launch a subscription offer targetted at non-Brits.
