I'm not sure whether I would like software that claimed to encrypt my drive, but simply allowed anyone with a live CD to boot and access my data.
I should hope it's not possible, if it is, they need to go back and start over.
How have you seen it broken?
None of our students have figured it out yet. (The old version maybe, it had a bug that allowed you to change the date/time or some such thing and it broke.)
The new versions, I've yet to see it broken. (Provided the CMOS is locked, and the studen't isn't openin up the computer to reset it so they can boot from a cd/floppy/usb drive.) And any teacher that doesn't notice a student removing the cover from a computer needs to pay more attention.
And I agree, it runs very well on any modern (6 years old or newer) machine that we have. I can't imagine what a hastle my job would be without it.
Um.... As much as I wish this wasn't the case, Windows still has 90%+ market share. If it does fail, I don't think it will be due to the missing 10% of Linux and Mac Fans.
The difference is that Claria and most other spyware gets installed without the user's knowledge or consent. Most of the time they don't understand that they're giving up their privacy. Part of the difference might be just how much their privace is worth to them, but the biggest difference is that with google, they make it well known that they're searching your stuff, and give you the choice. With Claria & such, they try to hide from the victim as much as possible.
If every MMO you've tried got boring to you within a month, nothing anyone tries to explain to you is going to help you understand why so many people enjoy it.
Might as well just keep insulting it and forget about trying to understand.
For one thing, If you buy a painting, you are buying the original. Not so with a DVD.
If you are in the business of reselling prints, and you're deciding to modify the prints with a big smiley face, and then reselling it as a work of the original artist, then I'd bet the original artist would have a pretty solid court case against you.
Throw me in with the young "doesn't have much knowledge of history" group...
Here I've been thinking the four you mentioned were presidents, not representatives.
As long as people are buying, broken or not, why would they stop selling? That might be the "right" thing to do, but it makes little business sense.
I'd love to have a broken product for sale that 6 Million people would give me $15/month to use.
Either keep a copy of SP2 on a seperate cd, or wait the extra hour to download it. I'll take help from a supreme being in aspects of my life that I can't control, but for patching Windows, I think it would be beneath him.
I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now. It's the first distro that I've installed that "just worked".
Virtually every other distribution I'd ever tried drove me back to Windows within a week or so because of all the hastle trying to make everything work correctly.
The Ubuntu guys seem to understand that for Linux to become popular with the masses, that it has to be useable by the masses.
I was thinking the same thing... there's way too many percents there.
The only thing I can think of is that they let people answer twice. Like "I don't want broadband because It's too expensive, and Dial-Up is adequate for my needs... And that put them in both the 30% group and 14% group.
Either that or they don't know how to count.
Then they complain that file sharing is the reason nobody is buying, they won't ever admit that it's because the product sucks, or their politics suck.
Well I would opine that 50 milliseconds for any practical purposes might as well be zero delay, therefore it isn't significant to me or pretty much every other photographer except apparently you.

Dollars to doughnuts that there will be an upgrade for the Zune software that makes it compatable. as soon as you can actually buy Vista.
A good thought, but the privacy advocates go nuts when you mention putting cameras inside classrooms.
The computer's power socket isn't live if the cord isn't plugged into it.
So did you get the $500.00?

I could have sworn that movie was made years after Lennon was killed.
But it would really suck the first time a car broke down or crashed and the passengers couldn't get out of the card.

If they didn't have the copyright owner's permission, just as CleanFlix doesn't, then you can bet they'd be going to court (and losing) as well.

No one except the 6 Million users that play the game.
That's the funniest thing I've ever read on this forum... I was always nervous sneaking in a small package of candy!
One can only hope.

Tons of people are upset with the Patroit act and DMCA as well...didn't stop the politicans from forcing it upon us.

Well... so much for that thought.. I just noticed that the thing does have two sensors... surprise for me.
