I'm thinking if it's a simple form, you can download it. Then you can see how the (very stupid) devs structured their tests and/or edit the form to remove those checks and have the modified form submit the info for you.
Walmart's trying to emulate Open Source? No, wait, I mean, Microsoft's trying to emulate MySpace? Sorry, too many articles about too many vile scumbags pretending to be cool in too short a period of time. I'm getting them all mixed up.:)
Waaaaaaait a minute. Did you just call Myspace "cool"?? You poor, poor, deranged soul.
Maybe because this completely kills the rental business? I for one haven't bought a game in a long time, but I have rented a few...
Since in the rental business they buy special vhs tapes, dvds, etc., what's to keep Sony from distributing special "rental" games? I'm sure that if they've got a way to tie a game to a specific console, they surely have the ability to tie the game to all consoles (lets call them promiscuious"... Probably even have a nice way of defeating any attempt (for now) of copying said "promiscuious" disks.
Never thought I'd see the day when "Ohm's Law" and "interesting" would be used in the same sentence.
1.) Apparently, you are new here.
2.) Apparently, you are not (or have never been around) an Electrical Engineer
3.) You definately got laid before you turned 30.
Umm... they already have that.. Ground based lasers with adaptive optics. Other Satellites with "Birlliant Pebbles" launched at high velocity to look like a minor asteroid impact... Shall I continue?
If it truely is a problem with the CPU, then that's what Intel has the Microcode Upgrades. A simple little upgrade and voila... no more AMD people shouting and pointing "OHH! OHHH!!!! Intel made a MISTAKE!!!!! Lookie Lookie! HAHA!!!! AMD NEVER MAKES MISTAKES!!"
Of course, this is definately a case of the pot calling the kettle black. I mean, name one processor in the last 20 years that HASN'T had a bug in it.
As someone who got the rare opportunity to actually step up to the last gate before the actual shuttle (it was on the pad at the time... years ago), I must say that being in the presence of that behemoth is awe inspiring. Just thought I'd note that... and that the shuttle is still launched with vaccuum tube technology. Go redudnancy/reliability!
So first they rename mountain view to "Google Land," then Google Land continues to grow untill it covers the entire planet and we all have Google Internet.
1:
Compile everything you need for your machine to run into the kernel... no more, no less... then you're good to go. No clutter, no loading at runtime... nothing.
2:
You have no idea what you actually need past boot(and root) FS, cpu, and hard drives. Compile everything else as a module(driver) to be loaded when you need it, and voila, no bloat to the kernel, but a few dozen MBs taken up on the HD.
In the grand scheme of things, a few extra modules for network cards will cause you no trouble. And for reference, most Enterprise level computers have upwards of 4-6 network adapters. Wonderful for redundancy and resiliancy.
I'll leave you with one bit of parting advice:
Assuming a minimum configuration on any OS leads you down the path of Microsoft. Knowing your hardware and tweaking it yields unprecidented pride and performance... as well as a unwarrented self importance. The more you learn about OSes... the more you see they are all alike.
Hell, he wanted it to happen so he could take away civil liberties and give huge no-bid contracts to all his cronies.
Wonderfully insightful statement(or straw man... however you want to put it). It must be nice to offhandedly assign someone's motives to them so that you can tear apart that position... instead of logically attacking their actual position.
Well, if you consider the entire history of the Earth(from just after the core fired up, and the crust had yet to harden), we're in a damn cold point in Earth's history.... We must be in a global cooling cycle...
Damn isn't there a party left for the common man......
Yes, it's called the Koncern for Egalitarian Governance party, better known by it's acronym:
K.E.G.
We belive in free, rambling speech; the right to bear forearms; freedom from "staying the night"; freedom to search any unreasonably gifted females; the right to refuse to answer the ociffer no mater how CUTE she is; the right to the walk of shame from your roomates; freedom to take your ex-b1tch before Judge Joe Brown; and freedom from the local dominatrix.

Dell does offer either RHEL 4 (at all levels of support) and FreeDOS as options on it's computers... you just have to ask ;)

Kind of difficult to impregnate an ASIC with a virus since these will most likely be unique serial numbers burned into a chip.

Why hack the OS when you can get the OS owner to add that "security feature" for you, and thereby lock out 90+% of the world?
K6. As a bonus answer... Comparable Intel Processors at the time also had the Microcode Upgrade ability as well.
Next QUESTION!

Another major reason you don't bury lines is energy loss in subterrain power systems.

Point of the statement: Just because something is unsecured doesn't mean that you have a right to do what you want.
2 options:
1:
Compile everything you need for your machine to run into the kernel... no more, no less... then you're good to go. No clutter, no loading at runtime... nothing.
2:

disprove that...
What slashdotter will use this on all the torrent/war3z/donkey_punch websites they go to?
