I used to think my high school literature teacher was the coolest person in the world. (Oh, and she was HOT!) Obviously a previous bra-burning flower girl...
Then, the school board told her that she had to quit teaching A Brave New World -- and she did.
What a wimp. I lost all respect for her for not fighting it.
Likely each component will be rolled out seperately... and then it'll all be bundled (without the new file system) for the official longhorn release.
Of course, they will package the new release with new bells and whistles to give people a reason to upgrade... but most function will be able to be obtained before the official "longhorn" release.
SP2, for example, contains several aspects of longhorn that were forced to the users sooner. Examples are the pop-up blocker and the protected memory to prevent buffer overruns.
Yeah, it's the same guys--LADBROKES. They don't have anything on the website yet... but the article states it's the same guys.
For two weeks, British-based bookmaker Ladbrokes is opening a book on five separate discoveries: life on Titan, gravitational waves, the Higgs boson, cosmic ray origins and nuclear fusion.
What would happen if other things in the world were free? What if budding designers and contractors demostrated their skills by building free pubic buildings?

I still have a land line... it's just through the cable instead of POTS.
We've been using roadrunner's digital phone service since day 1. $30ish for anywhere, anytime, no LD. Call waiting, etc.
We've had no problems with service until the last week. The cable/VoIP modem start cycling and trying to readjust over and over.
The guy came out and changed the modems. He said that it is very, very common.
So if you start losing VoIP service and your modem starts cycling... be quick to report it so they can change out your device.
I can blast huge torrents over suprnova and talk on the phone at the same time without any problems. I've been very impressed with the bandwidth... In fact, my impression is that my bandwidth greatly improved when they switched me over to VoIP. I imagine they uncap the bandwidth when you get digital phone service so insure both services work well together.
That was around 10 years ago when HP, Packard Bell, iomega, and several other companies were learning that they could release cheap, buggy hardware and make an assload of money.
I got tons of traffic and was in several "best of" lists over the next couple of years. Several companies were trying to sue me but luckily several of my faithful users were lawyers and helped me through it.
Uptime was a problem because we had no way at that time of making money on the project. We bounced from server to server trying to keep up with traffic. I understand how these guys feel.
After a couple of years, I went to med school and didn't have time to keep it up. I'm such a shmuck... If I would have focused on that page instead of my medical career, I could have made millions, gone bankrupt, and then made money again!
I'm not quite sure how this is all that new. Many, many console games have ads throughout the game. I was playing Madden 2005 just a few minutes ago... and the billboards in the stadiums are pushing all sorts of EA-related stuff.
What has shocked me is the failure of freeware with embedded ads. For a while it seemed many freeware authors were trying to make money with this concept.
As a freeware author myself, it didn't work well for my product. People preferred the old, buggy ad-free version to the final version with small, tasteful ads. I ended up making more money off the google ads on the download page than I did from the product.
I finally killed the ads and the number of people using the program hit the roof.

I am totally being serious. If you have a cool PCP, you should try this:
Grab a bucketful of fried chicken and take it to your next doctor's appointment. Let him hook you up to the EKG machine and then eat away.
I often ask patients to bring in things that they believe they are allergic to.
If you go from normal sinus to having a ton of PVCs while eating chicken, your doctor would have a very interesting case to publish! Plus, if you bring your doc a bucket of chicken, he is certain to sit down and chat a spell.:)
There are multiple causes and each has different treatments. Many forms are actually very difficult to treat, but luckily we have several new medications that are more effective.
Do yourself a favor a see a good allergy or derm doc... dermatitis can be very tough on a person in multiple ways--including their social life. Getting it under control will really change your life.
I am a practicing allergist and I have found that most people with multiple environmental allergies are just a little mental. Sorry, there is no other way of saying it.
I am NOT suggesting that all people are like that... just most. So I hope the person who submitted the question doesn't get offended.
As an allergy doc, let me suggest something before you kill yourself with this stuff. Just go see an allergic specialist in your area. We can skin test for almost every known allergic substance to man. Plus, as the medline article that you referenced (which says nothing about computer/electronic smells) suggests, you may have asthma if these smells are making your feel poorly.
Reading from your website it appears that you may believe you have chronic fatigue syndrome as well. Is there some connection between multiple environmental sensitivies and chronic fatigue? It would be odd for you to have two rare diseases.
I hope this means that everybody is respecting my patent for 802.11h--which is, of course, packet transmission by horsepack. We are also trying to teach dolphins... the squeaks are tough to error correct.:(
Big props go to you guys who are not letting the terrorists scare you away. You are indeed pioneers! It's like the ole west over there with money to be made in the face of great danger.
If you can look at those pictures on drudge and still bring yourself to go... you deserve the big dollars for your brass balls.
Those people are living in a phucked up world right now... they need honest people over there to help them... and to let them know that the basic American is not the military that they fear.

woah... sorry to duplicate. I kept getting errors when I originally tried to post this so I thought that it didn't go through.
Anyway, to keep from wasting space... here is the original slashdot article about longhorn meeting XP
Here's an article discussing that several aspects of longhorn are actually in SP2.
You'll get all your upgrades anyway.
Many of the components in longhorn will be rolled out as individual services prior to the official release.
(Of course, Microsoft will package the official longhorn release with a few bells and whisltes to grab consumer interests.)
SP2 is a great example of this. The pop-up blocker and buffer overrun protection were all original longhorn ideas.

Where you do see this quote?
Yet another way?
Seems like the same old crap to me...
You convince some sucker to download and load something that isn't what it says it is. We've reported aim exploits that hide themselves as screensavers recently.
It's a major security problem when a program blindly executes something. Period.
It's a major security problem when people download untrusted winamp skins on IRC.
What can you do?
Sorry... early morning thought.

I had always felt there was an overheating problem. People in the newsgroups and suggested that I recondition my battery... which maybe helped some.
Anyway, glad to know that I'll be getting a new battery out of it.

I am assuming that you mean "dermatitis."
There are multiple causes and each has different treatments. Many forms are actually very difficult to treat, but luckily we have several new medications that are more effective.
Here's a good place to start reading
Do yourself a favor a see a good allergy or derm doc... dermatitis can be very tough on a person in multiple ways--including their social life. Getting it under control will really change your life.
Yes, people with asthma are sensitive to a whole range of smells and chemicals that most people are not... there is no doubt about that.
However, the majority of patients can tolerate those smells without any issues if their asthma is well treated.
btw, searching all the medical journals with pubmed for Sensibility to volatile compounds gives no responses.
I am a practicing allergist and I have found that most people with multiple environmental allergies are just a little mental. Sorry, there is no other way of saying it.

I notice that Cisco isn't displaying this on their front page. It seems like they should be screaming for everybody to fix the problem.
