There's only one way to find out! I set up an account but it might take a bit to hit the "Unlimited" status. However, it starts at 1GB so we might as well get started right away. Send mail to TheLimitAsSlash.Approaches@yahoo.com. Be sure to add attachments!
Now that they've finally admitted it, will they stop with their WGA and activation junk? Activation is a pain for legit users, and now it seems that MS wants illegitimate users to work around it. I'm not really sure what it's there for anymore.
I've been saying there should be a phone like this for a while (not on/.; IRL). I often dial phone numbers with the phone upside down just because it's so painful to do it the other way.
However, I think I've seen a phone that has done this before (maybe it was just a prototype).
I also find Microsoft asks me to push the "OK" button too often for crap, or nags me about updates (every 5 minutes after I initially say "no") when I just want the OS to shut up and stay out of the way.
Ermmm... Good plan except major movie studios will only release on Blu-Ray if it's DMR holds up (at least for the next couple of month). Then again maybe all you want to watch is Porn.
BTW, in yesterday's post about HD Porn and Sony not Allowing Porn on BETA, I assure you there was LOTS of porn on BETA. The adult industry may prefer HD-DVD for cost reasons, but if Blu-Ray wins, there will be Blu-Ray porn -- count on it.
The best thing might be for HD-DVD to fail, have Blu-Ray generally accepted, and THEN break the DMR Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha
I would have assumed DMR was a typo but you typed it twice.
I think the term you are looking for is DRM. It stands for Digital Right Management.
I still play board games when me and my siblings all congregate at a single house. A favorite for a few of us is Monopoly. However, I've been in search of a game similar to this but more complex. The most important thing I'm looking for is the outcome of the game depending more on strategy and less on chance. Anyone know of any such board games?
Wired magazine had an article a couple years ago saying this exact same thing. I remember thinking at the time, "I hope this doesn't ever actually happen." Who'd've (I just invented a new contraction!) guessed it would?
Though I don't know how to accomplish the job, I thought I'd mention that--assuming you get it to work--it's nice to see linux being used to accomplish things like this in the corporate world. It shows other companies that it is indeed possible to run a business without proprietary software.
Please do let us a know what your final solution is.
Who wants to get in an edit war with me at the Edit war article. Then we can create an article called "Meta edit war" and get in a fight over whether that is a neologism! Ah, the wonders of Wikipedia...

Excellent idea. BTW, I checked the account: "4% of 1.0GB"

What if they use ReactOS?

Letting anyone change the time and date for the system is stupid. Lots of important things require that to be set correctly.

No, you do not.
Whoever modded this funny has a very sick sense of humor.
I'm not saying you are incorrect, but RIAA does stand for Recording Industry Association of America
Didn't IBM do this a long time ago? http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/0 3/1544233&tid=136&tid=126&tid=14
Local libraries often don't carry newer items such as textbooks.

Ah, found the article. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.12/traffic.
protest too much, methinks

Is that the technical term?

I've never noticed this before but when english sentences are turned upside down it looks a little like russian! (to me, anyway)
