You could be right, unless you're doing a math degree most of the maths you learn is centries old. It's only the teaching methods that may have changed, but you'd hope for the better.
Too bad all the critical updates, not to mention optional but recommended updates, are not "hotfixes" and thus unable to be integrated.
All the critical security patches ARE hotfixes. Goto Add/Remove programs and check the little box to show windows updates if you don't believe me.
Optional extras like Windows Media Player, the.NET framework and IE7 betas cannot be (trivially) integrated, so you'll have to wait for SP3, in 2007, for those to be apart of a clean install process.
These toys stuffed with IC's are what make some of us Brit's go into studying Electronics. Me for one. I'm not sure how much water that argument can hold, I just don't think less visible workings stunts curiosity or the mind of an engineer to a great extent.
What it does probably do is stunt the creativity side of things.
Errr five characters: Lister, Cat, Rimmer, Holly and Kryten.
Other things to remember, they had the entire universe to roam, in the last seasons reintroduced the entire crew and before that had frequent encounters with other people, virtual reality and time travel.
Even if you do have a license for each computer, as far as I know, there's no way to change the registration number of a Windows install once it's been installed and a ghost image has been made
I think that is one of the important roles sysprep plays. It essentially tells Windows to restart the user, license and hardware customisation phase again on the next boot. This is how OEM's ship XP PC's (but of course they use SLP bios-locked installations, not Activation)
Like Microsoft are going to know. I don't see any legitimate reason why Microsoft should have the right to say you can't meddle with a COPY of their product using official MS method to make your life easier. Screw 'em. You are not commiting piracy by doing so
Nlite can do this. It can slipstream all the post-SP2 hotfixes, your own drivers, make tweaks, and then reduce the installation process to about 4 clicks.
Use Microsoft Security Bulletin Search to find all the hotfixes you need, making sure you tick the box that reads 'Show only bulletins that contain updates that have not been replaced by a more recent update.'.
Nothing. The same trick allows you to swap out hashed or encrypted passwords with known ciphertext to access systems. The problem with that is that EFS protected stuff is (of course) still inaccessable.
Likewise, all Microsoft and OEM files (google for 'SLP activation') are signed and messing with the certs will most likely render Windows unbootable.
A clean hack around the driver initialiser/installer is a better solution. Or switch to a FOSS OS.

LOL... You actually bothered to learn all those horribly inconsistent functions? is_null, isset? strtolower, hex2bin? strip_tags, stripslashes? strpos($haystack, $needle), preg_match($needle, $haystack)? Or are you accepting that looking at the docs every half an hour is normal?
With a manual as clear, conside and accessable as PHP's, who cares? There are hundreds of functions in the 'core', but not all of those in the PHP manual are compiled in on most setup's. Who really learns the libraries and functions of any programming language by heart? Familiar and aware of? Yes. Memorise? No
I know a fair bit of Python and know Perl well. PHP simply cuts Python up when it comes to easy to use documentation regarding web development. Perl is well documented and my current preference for webdev.
After trying a few torrents in uTorrent i'm switching. It's always wonderful to find free extremely lightweight functional software. Just marvelous.
If anyone knows of software as astonishingly lightweight as uTorrent, for other tasks, I don't think it's all too far offtopic to post it. And if it is, to hell with the moderators, this is the kind of softare news we should care about.
Unfortunately, this is the downside to modern component-based strategies - it's not a Microsoft-specific problem
Microsoft reaped the benefits of this design somewhat when they released the WMF vulnerability workaround. By unregistering the COM dll the broken component was removed from service until it could be patched. The GDI function parameter was never flawed, the problem was where it was utilised.
I wonder how many COM libraries there are registered in a typical Windows/Office combi installation that most people don't need...
Heh, I have an original release of Windows 95 on 14 floppies, pre-SP1. I'm almost tempted to fire it up sometime to see how it really varies from my current 2000 installation after i've installed everything I can throw at it.
I wouldn't call us Brits sexually conservative by any means. We get away with things that I think would cause outcry in the U.S. Why do you perceive us as conservative?
And in many ways field and record seperators make alot more sense than using delimiting characters such as , ; or : that most things are using now what with all the escaping that has to be done.

I think you mean mpeg-4. Mpeg-2 is a pain for Windows users without a DVD drive and software.

It would be nice if Microsoft would make it easy to script the install onto one CD (or DVD).

Finding a copy is not hard.
Interestingly though, the copy I downloaded is digitally signed by MS with a date of the 27th July 2005.
I dual boot FreeBSD and Ubuntu. ;) But I see no reason to abandon the Windows platform just yet.

The same thing we try to do every night Pinky...try to take over the world!
Software Exchange. Sex.com, your open source portal!
Either way it's easily disabled. If Microsoft don't listen to your complaints then they sure will when it hits retail.
