My point is still valid. I use BitTorrent for.. things.. and it murdered my speeds. Same for speeds in eMule. If the "enhancements" cripple how I use my computer, I don't need them.
What about the limiting of connections that can be open at any one time? There's also a lot of crap that I just don't need. I don't use IE. I don't need any of the crap that they've "enhanced" with this service pack.
Why are they forcing this service pack on us? I run it on my laptop, because I only use that for light browsing and chatting, but I would never run it on my desktop. The "security enhancement" treats the user like an idiot. I know I don't have a firewall, I have a hardware one. I know I don't run anti-virus programs, I don't download anything on this machine. I know some people need to be secured by force, but I'm sure the majority of us/.ers don't need to be told what do do with a computer.
I've turned off automatic updating on my desktop, and don't plan on installing XP SP2 in the near future.
Is it anything like AMD's Cool N' Quiet? Which is great. My Athlon 64 3400+ Clawhammer is currently.. 95~ degreesat 1.0ghz and when I launch a game or something that needs the speed, it clocks back up to 2.2ghz.
I was playing off of the "Does it run Linux" thing, but I've got the karma to suffer a few mods who don't get my "special" (Read: very stupid) brand of humor.
Because if the parents were parenting the kid, who was under 18 when he played the game, wouldn't have ever had the game to play. And maybe if they sat down and tried to talk to the kid once in a while, he would have opened up to them and talked out his problems.

You can stack magnets on a hard drive and not "degauss" it.
I hope you're kidding.

Burnt? I just generated them and they DO work with XP SP2.. *looks at his laptop* and Windows Update.

Want some working keys for XP SP2?

Tell that to Uwe Boll. Or better yet, kill him before he makes another movie.
Since we're about to hit 1000000, I figured 100,000 is low enough.
It's something that /. does.. with a UID that low you should be aware of it.
If you have a question, google it. If that doesn't help, ask. This is /. we're all assholes here.
I think step 3 is watching the magic smoke escape.
Did you also notice that water was wet?
Accure?

Can it render /. correctly?

You get a D+ in spelling.. "You're"
Oh yes, I saw that one a few days ago. The game looked a whole lot like GTA, but wasn't quite the same.

Are you thinking about the slightly retarded kid who tried to "Save" the girl like his video game, or the game designer who killed his lady friend?
