I'd expect most people will try mac and linux, however many boxes they have. Everybody already knows you can hack Vista no problem, there's not much challenge in it, so they will concentrate on the ones with the higher perceived security. Never underestimate people's desire for glory.
I know I can play Halo 2 on XP using a third-party tool that basically tricks Halo 2 into thinking it's on Vista. I'd link to the site, but I just checked and it's been taken over by advertiser domain squatters.
Why should your kids or spouse benefit from your income? People actually work to support their families. And when they aren't around, it's usually nice if they still provide some support, from insurance, or whatever's in the estate. I guess it's that whole evolution thing where you take care of your family so your genes survive.
Copyrights should last 70 years because that's probably how how the artist will live after they've made it, and possibly help their family after they're dead. Copyright holders are rarely the millionaires you seem to think they are. Yeah, you have the big record companies and movie companies, but a lot more copyrights are being given to authors or freelance photographers, exactly the sorts of people that need long-term protection because chances are they aren't making a lot of money off of their work. You want to shorten patent terms, sure, you want to make it harder for the RIAA to extort people, sure, but let the starving artists have control of their work during their lifetime.
It's a money war, and unfortunately every forced copyright settlement is paying politicians for the sorts of laws that make extorting people so easy. Somebody form a lobby group for shutting down the RIAA's frivolous lawsuits and I'll gladly donate money to it.
Don't most of the people that can afford $100,000 ticket prices have their own private jets anyway? A longer flight can't be that big a deal for them if they don't have to stay in their seats and have a big screen TV.
I agree, and I think them trying to buy Yahoo is telling that Microsoft isn't doing so well. Microsoft lacks focus, and they want to take shortcuts. They look at Yahoo, figure they can buy up all that content, buy out a search competitor, and everything will be great, but Yahoo itself is struggling to find meaning and purpose. I don't think Microsoft will look back at any such deal with too much enthusiasm.
Then what could possibly be the point? If people weren't willing to pay for the Concorde, why do people think they'll be willing to pay even more for this? They'll go under after just a few years, if they even make that. I'm happy with the normal trickle-down of aerospace tech from the military. They are paying large amounts of money to develop new engines and new planes, and by the time it hits the civilian market it's a lot cheaper, easier, and safer.
Yeah, if it wasn't for Hillary's superdelegates, she'd be losing right now, 590 to 603. And he's won 15 states to Hillary's 12 (10 not including MI and FL). I think it's definitely looking good for Obama.
Yeah, isn't it a lot of almost random trial-and-error, paying attention to non-verbal clues? Like, when a baby smiles, it gets a lot of attention. When a baby manages to put together something simple like ma-ma or da-da, suddenly there's happy parents all jumping up and down with excitement.
Okay, at least you're using email, I consider that content. A site that only exists to display ads isn't content. My opposition is to people buying up domains just to sell them again at exorbitant prices, forcing the little guy to get some ridiculous domain that makes no sense based on his legitimate content instead of a domain that would have made sense but he can't afford due to squatters.
I've been waiting for a 32GB iTouch ever since the iPhone came out. Probably going to wait for them to get a little cheaper though. My needs for a large portable hard drive and a wifi device aren't immediate.
What's unfortunate about the NASA budget is they'll have to cancel a bunch of Mars missions in order to keep their sample-return mission alive. Considering the chances of them slamming their probe into Mars at a million miles an hour instead of landing gently, we'll likely get no successful missions to Mars for a while. At least Spirit and Opportunity are still going strong.
Well in this particular case, it would seem that Dell's case is at least a little weak, but I'm all for them suing the heck out of domain squatters. Practically any meaningful URL out there is now just an ad trap. If somebody's not willing to put up at least some content, they shouldn't own the domain.
Which is why IPv6 probably won't get any real use until ISPs start charging a premium for you to get a unique IPv4 address since they don't have enough to go around.
Just like how when we run out of oil, solutions will come along, when we run out of IP addresses, solutions will come along. The only problem is people don't get very motivated until we're really on the edge. I don't have much hope for IPv6 for another few years yet. Still, progress is progress.

"Mythical sequel" indeed. I won't believe any stories about DNF until I see the game on shelves.
No, don't you see? This slashdot dupe is just to demonstrate that with Diebold, all votes for Pat Buchanan will be duped!

What I want to know is, is this thing going to be as crazy expensive as the Concorde was.

If anyone was wondering that anonymous bid for C Block at 4.71 billion dollars was me. I just outbid Google!

That's not exactly what a VIN is. A VIN is like a serial number for a car. We have license plates too.
From the pictures and video, looks like you have to be parked just right, and do we know how well it can figure out which car is which?

How many people are using it though? Probably the same number of people using solar cars.

And only 5 answered questions, if you can call them answered. This "interview" is thoroughly disappointing.
Well, maybe whatever comes after Vista (if it even comes out in a reasonable amount of time) will replace my Bootcamp XP by 2014.
