Uh, hello, did you read it? "and opens a DRM'd ebook or other DRM-encumbered content to reference some information relevant to evaluating the scan."
Something DRM protected regarding how to interpret the image would certainly be something that should be tested.
It's all fine and dandy to say don't buy HD-DVD/Blueray hardware or disks but you'll eventually have to do it since that's all that will be out there. Ripped disks will probably become available not long after and are here already if you believe the HD-DVD has been cracked. The only downside being the size of the files which are 20+GB per disk.
Knowing Microsoft the keys were stored in/Windows/System or some other retarded place that gets overwritten by a reinstall. At least OS X's encrypted disk images you just enter the password and it mounts as a disk. You can transport them to other computers and it works fine. Also if you use FileVault and have to reinstall it still will be able to mount your home folder since it goes off your login password and not some secret key file.
Since Vista's display is going through the 3D pipeline they probably do it a lot like OS X where each window is a texture. They can easily manipulate any texture before it's displayed. Anyways I think this example is stretching a lot. Any system as important as a medical imaging station is going to be tested for hundreds of hours before being put into production. To expect it to fail from such a scenario is so far fetched it's never going to happen imo.
Your post makes it seem like you think Vista is going to randomly trash your data on purpose. There could be some unknown bug that does this but to suspect that it will do it just to screw you is too much. I don't like Microsoft or Vista and I only ever turn on my PC to play Call Of Duty 2 (yes I know there's a Mac version, doesn't work over Hamachi for some reason). I really hope Vista fails even though I know it won't. Your post however makes it seem like you think the only way anything is ever good is if it's on open source software. That's complete BS and you know it. Most studios are using proprietary software for huge budget films and I don't see anyone complaining about that besides maybe the cost. However Final Cut Studio is reducing that cost significantly for a lot of production houses.
Actually I can 100% guarantee they won't limit your ability to create YOUR OWN CONTENT on any platform. Apple and even Microsoft have NO reason to do this otherwise no one is going to use their platform.
Most of the possibly interesting documents are always censored when they're declassified. Various UFO documents are mostly blacked out and so are useless.
Why do you assume all 300 tons of the input material is usable for fuel? A lot of it is most likely other bio matter that's not oil and thus can't be burned in the same manner. I don't think that's a very fair estimate of efficiency. The more fair estimate would be to find out what percentage of the 300 tons is usable and then what their output is based on that.
Farms buy gasoline and diesel much cheaper but they are dyed a different colour. I'm not sure how it affects the exhaust colour but I've never noticed any tractors or farm pickup trucks with weird colour exhaust. It is illegal though but I could care less if I was in a position to get cheap farm fuel.
Yeah, hemp is like the magic plant. It's so versatile but it's just buried by the ignorant government and probably lobbied against by the oil industry. You could literally replace a lot of the plastics and gasoline with hemp fibre or oil based products. And the best thing is it grows like a weed anyways so it doesn't take a lot of maintenance.
I understand that they want to make it as usable by newcomers as possible but just the fact that most self proclaimed Linux users don't really like Windows. Yet the default layout that I've seen for most of the distributions looks so much like Windows. That's cool you can change it to however you want though.
I find that one of the most hilarious things about Linux. They all hate or don't like Windows but they make their OS look 90% the same as it. What's up with that? I mean there's the task bar thing at the bottom, the same start button type thing, the same sys tray type thing. You'd think they'd make something different if they didn't like using Windows that much.
Why is it so hard for you to find applications? They're in/Applications or/Applications/Utilities. Unless YOU put them somewhere else this is where pretty much all applications will ever be. All the programs that ever need application support files are in a folder called intuitively/Library/Application Support. That's hard to figure out? Come on. Preferences are in the ~/Library/Preferences. I won't tell you what the ~/ is since it's the same as Linux.
And no big surprise some of the unix program config files are probably in different places than Linux. So what? Did you know where everything in Linux was when you first started using it? Hell no so why would you expect OS X's unix config files to be in the same places as Linux anyways?
I've never really had a problem with it. Yes the Finder hangs but after about 1 minute it seems to time out and then asks if you want to disconnect the volume. Then after you do it goes back to normal. They really should separate this from the GUI thread though because the GUI shouldn't hang like that.
The Chinese format does seem better in those aspects but the only thing missing from it is content. What movie studio is ever going to release content on an EVD disk? I also bet it wouldn't be allowed to be sold in the U.S. because the movie studios are in bed with the government to influence copyright law.
Any HDTV receiver will either have HDMI or Component out or both. HDMI to DVI adaptors exist for a low price. HDMI carries sound and video whereas DVI is only video. HDMI is higher bandwidth than DVI. So there's no real converting to be done you can just get an adaptor and there's gotta be some component to DVI adaptor/interface box as well.

Oh boy that's a horrible UI, I bet you can't wait for the iPhone.
It's a little slow but that could be that I'm going through a VPN on my home DSL connection.

And if you were charged/accused of something bad you wouldn't get a lawyer even if you were innocent?

I guess you're right. Mine says I have a Core2Duo so I thought it saw both cores, but I just downloaded CPU-Z and it shows only one core.
Erm, are you saying Parallels doesn't support both cores because mine sure does.

Leopard allows you to search network mounted volumes.

Leopard will be better for quick launching apps like LaunchBar by moving applications to the top of the list.
I guess you could try force quitting with the Activity Monitor. I'm not sure if that's the same as kill -9 though it could be.

Some part of New York get as much snow or more as we do in southern Ontario.
