That's because the Microsoft agreement states that anyone running Parallels can't use the $199 basic or the $239 premium edition of Vista. Instead, they have to buy the $299 business version or the $399 ultimate version of the long-anticipated OS.
So is there something besides the EULA that is going to stop people, like some kind of detection software or warning? Because most people don't read the EULA or care much about it. Like most/. don't read TA.
(2) How much bandwidth do music download take? 1MB per minute of music? Even with 28Kbps downstream, i.e. slower dial-up speed, that means a minute of music takes 40 seconds to download. Throtteling encrypted traffic is not going to help. But it will cost ISPs customers that are doing legitimate things.
Um, not so. 1 MB = 1024 KB. 28.8 Kb/s ~ 2.8KB/s
1024 KB @ (/) 2.8 KB/s = 365 seconds / 60 = 6 min. So, 1 minute of music would take 6 minutes to download. You're confusing KB and kb... not unusual.
Judge Robert Smith argued that the basis of the majority's decision that all income is taxable is "that the commissioner says it is... The majority cites no authority at all, and offers no persuasive reason, in support of this new interpretation
usually it applies when they decide to make up laws....
well, i have a pentium 4-m 2.66/1.6 GHz (512k L2 cache) and i get 4-6 hours @ 1.6GHz IF the screen brightness is turned all the way down. surprisingly, it's still quite useful at this setting, but obviously only for mundane tasks such as browsing or typing, not gaming or photo editing. i think the 256mb ram on a windows xp machine is also quite a bottle neck, but i haven't scraped together enough cach to buy 512mb more...
The software that we licensed for World Community Grid came only with a Windows client. We are committed to adding a Linux client in 2005 and are currently in the planning phase of that effort. Keep an eye on this space for more updates.
uh, no, doesn't really sound like that.
Has anyone repaid America for anything America has done for them (france world war ii)... America, it seems, just hands out money to whoever for whatever. So.. this isn't really a surprise, is it?
open source doesn't necesarily mean free, and free is not necessarily open source...
however, most people don't really care if it's open source or not, free is fine. i like open source software, but don't mess with or even download the source code... it's nice that someone else does the work. someday i may learn a programing (non-web programing) language and help out, but until then, let someone else mess with the source code. as long the free is adware/spyway/malware free.
what about the other countries (the ones that have this great percentage of the population running broadband)? why aren't they having problems? or are they? are they better educated, run a firewall, don't use ie, etc...? or are many (most, some, w/e) of these computers overseas attached to fast networks running as zombies? do the other countries have problems with 'ignorant computer users' or is it just America?

well, my WAP is closed, but my SSID is "backoffmy56k"... and it is... i'm sharing 56k over a -g router

is judicial activism really that surprising anymore?
sounds like what ms plans to do in longhorn, and that got a lot of people up in arms....
