The biggest vendor of chips that Windows runs on was still 32-bit until recently. As far as the market is concerned, there was little demand for 64-bit Windows on the desktop until Intel started talking 64-bit. Maybe Windows should support 128-bit x86 processors now so that in 20 years it will be first?
I'd like to develop my programming skills, but my university has me so busy writing reports on languages they aren't teaching me and producing documents that my professors will admit have little to nothing to do with CS and of course doing reports in those wonderful liberal arts courses such as sociology and studying for almost weekly exams and doing homework for said courses, I simply can't find the time to actually program. Excuse me while I go do my Power Point (jesus christ save me) slides for my presentation on Prolog for a course on programming language concepts that turned into a course on Ada (the prof's favorite language!) concepts. Oh god, why did I think I'd actually learn anything applicable in a for-profit university that is just out to keep me in as long as possible and possibly go to grad school here???
Why would this give any of their market to Linux? All they're doing is saying "we'll support customers who want to run Linux in our Virtual Server on our OS".
I'm not downloading copyrighted music, I'm downloading junk to burden the p2p network with useless traffic. It just so happens I go a real file in the process!
Chat room monitors using the AOL chat rooms they are monitoring to hook up with underage girls right under the nose of their employer? How did they get from the chat room to the phone without using AOL's network? Even if she was spamming "Here's my phone number, please bang me all night long", they guy shouldn't have been calling her and setting up a meeting for sex and AOL should've known what he was up to considering the length of the "relationship". One of their employees stopped the meeting afterall.
If the CEO and board want to continue using the corporate shield to protect themselves whenever the company does something wrong, they'll bite the bullet over their employee they failed to properly monitor. AOL doesn't promise monitors. They promise safe chat rooms. If they hire a guy to make it safe and HE is the danger, AOL takes it in the behind.
Every time a company gets fined or sued, it's due to an action of their employees or even their CEO. Are you saying that if AOL makes a bad decision and gets sued for a billion dollars, the CEO should pay it out of his own pocket?
The parents were told by AOL that the chat rooms were safe for kids and the parents probably told their kid that. The kid goes in there and the AOL moderator tries to set up a meeting for sex.
The kid shouldn't be suing AOL, the parents should've done that 4 years ago or whenever they found out.
There IS a *slight* *unnoticable* performance hit due to the added security checks in SP2. You'd probably have to run a series of benchmarks to tell its there though. Mac OS X 10.0 was so horribly slow that they have managed to make it noticably faster each release. Kind of telling of Apple's software quality.
Windows XP Home IS multi-threaded. It lacks the ability to divide the threads among multiple CPUs. If 2 threads are running on a single CPU, the host will attempt to give equal CPU time to each thread if they have the same priority. Being multi-threaded can be benificial on single CPU systems as well as getting an even bigger speed boost on multi-CPU systems. Application develepors don't write many multi-threaded applications now because there's not enough speed boost on a single-core to justify the development time on a parallel approach to the problem.
It may also be worth noting that MS Office will stop hiding menu items that have been recently used so it probably shouldn't be hidden after the first time he used the feature. Almost my entire file menu is shown in Word every time I click it.
It's not your social security money. It's someone else's. If there's enough to go around when you're eligible to collect (probably going to be life expectancy + 5 soon) then you get *some* back;p
If I'm not mistaken Halo had difficulties on SP2 with certain video cards with 256MB of RAM and then only on certain driver version but it never killed the kernel. Halo PC was done by Gearbox and published by MS, btw.
A neighboring county had a coop for dialup internet access. When the cable company decided they wanted to offer 1 megabit cable access, the county shut them down and refused to allow them to offer the service. Yeah, coops are great.

But even if you were a paying customer, MS woulda told you to piss off rather than supporting you until now.

or maybe it's just profitable?
Sony bleeding cash due to the PSP will matter to you when they announce they are stopping production and developers abandon it.
We don't know enough about Revolution to say that it's simply 100% backwards compatible with nothing new ;p
I wasn't aware that VS.NET 2004 existed.

That's GNU/Linuxtard, sir.

Verizon has a monopoly on local phone service here and does act in the manner described.
But they get to regulate what goes on in their state. The telecoms don't like this and want that right taken away.
Yes, damn her kids to hell for having such a terrible slut for a mother. Idiot.
Are there even non-corporate farms left in this country?

Clue-stick please.
If functionality is dependent on flaws that are themselves vulnerabilities and it breaks when the flaw is fixed, it's a security fix.
