Likewise. I've been using it since business release and never spotted different colours (Yes, I'm using Aero). I've noticed subtly different dialog messages for UAC depending on if it's signed or not, but never colours.
Any conceptual framework that it relies on the user knowing enough about computers to make a decision about what you should and shouldn't do is going down in flames. Any road network that relies on the users knowing enough about the system to make a decision about what you should and shouldn't do is going down in flames. Any car that relies on the users knowing enough about the vehicle to make a decision about what you should and shouldn't do is going down in flames. Any power tool that relies on the users knowing enough about the tool to make a decision about what you should and shouldn't do is going down in flames.
The computer is a device. You wouldn't expect to try plumbing without knowing a bit about how pipes actually work, so why should you expect to be able to administer a computer without knowing a bit about what those options mean?
Has anyone figured out a hack to force an old style text login? I might even mod your posts up if you find a solution and share it!;-) Join an Active Directory Domain, or:
Start -> Run -> mmc (At this point UAC will ask to continue) -> File -> Add/Remove Snap-In -> Group Policy Object Editor (Click the arrow to add this to the current list of snap-ins. Just accept the default, it should be connecting to local machine).
When you've got GPOE open in MMC, the option you desire lives in:
Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options
And you need to change "Interactive logon: Do not require CTRL+ALT+DEL" to "Disabled".
I *believe* this is the correct sequence, though haven't yet rebooted to test it. I'll post a reply to this if I'm totally out:D
I keep saying this to people who insist DRM is bad: The concept is great, it allows sharing to be controlled, be it media or software. I have no problems paying for the music I listen to (The price is another argument entirely - that *is* a problem) but the fact it's protected shouldn't make any difference.
The problem with DRM is that there is no standard. MP3 took off because it was able to be implemented in everything (Licence issues mostly ignored), but everything is DRMed differently. There needs to be a single, openly implementable standard where the 'auth server' can be specified individually for every piece of data so there's no central body to lock it down and charge exorbitant licence fees. Never gonna happen, but if that was implemented and there was an option in iTunes to "Replace all my FairPlay music with OpenDRM" then the world would be a better place. *Then* you only need to buy it once.
Stop bashing DRM as a concept, just bash how it's implemented at the moment.
I call FUD. I've just tried the things you mentioned - the only time UAC bitched at me was when I altered things in a shared user area, which a lot of modern apps won't write to. Deleting/moving files within my own documents folder worked perfectly every time with nothing more than Window's usual "Do you really want to delete this?" dialog, and nothing UAC. Changing desktop background again never complained at me (Although changing system DPI did, which is kinda logical). I was *never* asked anything by UAC when copying/pasting text in *any* circumstance I tried, but I'm more than willing to test exactly the conditions you came up with.
For the record, yes I am running as a limited user. Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, clean install.
Which is why multiple systems are better. If the AI spots one human, thinks "They're moving this way so I'll avoid them" and does then it's good. If it notices 60 people all where it believes the road is, then the AI should recognise it as an obstruction and try to find another way around. When it evaluates the surrounding area and finds that it's entirely obstructed it should stop and wait until it can pretty much guarantee it's clear.
Likewise with the 'bridge out'. The AI may not be able to interpret what the sign says because of the fact it needs a complex recognition algorithm, but that's not a major issue because it may have been programmed to recognise predominantly red road signs as hazards and switch into an 'improved perception' mode where it takes less chances. Failing that, it would eventually reach the point where there is a blockade (or failing that the road just stopping) and then re-route.
Whilst I agree that AI can't deal with a lot of things when driving, such as the instinctive "This is too dangerous", they can still achieve something close simply by running enough 'logic checks' to make sure it's not doing anything stupid.
I frequently am away from my PC for several days at a time without knowing which of my 'Favourite' songs (2348 in the playlist) I'm going to want to listen to. I have no opportunity to switch these for new ones whilst away, hence it's better to have them all available. I can charge my iPod and phone (Normally via solar), but can't easily take all my music with me without carting around a laptop into environments I'd rather not, such as a tent in a wet and windy field in the middle of the Pennines.
Vista *does* defrag automatically when idle, over-fragmented, 3am(ish) or when it's feeling like it. That said, a slightly more useful filesystem (is WinFS still due with Vista SP1 later this year?) would be lovely.
The minor issue with building the iPod into the iPhone is space. I carry around just under 60GB of high quality music with me at any time, and the stuff I regularly listen to accounts for just over 17GB of that. Unless the iPhone 2G contains at least that much memory, I won't be using it as an MP3 player.
Yes, but you can't use that as reasoning. Buying in bulk of most goods and services is cheaper because of reduced production costs (You only need to configure machines once per run, staff get more efficient etc) and reduced admin costs (Instead of 2 minutes of paperwork per each item, there is 5 minutes of paperwork for 20,000 items). This is highly simplified, but roughly the idea.
Every operation is different, and often performed by specialist surgeons. Each one involves exactly the same amount of paperwork, excepting a near insignificant difference for payment methods. Additionally, the time and complexity of each operation is dependant on the patient and not who pays for the operation. Therefore, there is no good argument for applying bulk discount to operations other than if you charge 'bulk' at just above cost then you can charge individual purchases far more and make more profit.
I'm not surprised the HDDs failed then. I'd wait until they have flash drives, then give them another roll. Some handheld systems can take an almighty beating and keep on going despite having less padding through the simple virtue of not having moving parts.
The freedom to copy useless bits is not what the net is about. Yes it is. The net is free to copy whatever damn bits people feel like about, DRM or not. To say "The net can only be used for free information!" is just as restrictive as saying "This music can only be played on one PC and devices synced to it".
In other news, it has been found that bus companies let advertisers know how many people travel on busses! Holy crap! The privacy implications, look at the evil bus companies giving away personal aggregate data!
Whilst Vista doesn't use massive quantities of RAM for its own devious schemes (Absolutely speaking, relative to XP it's quite a bit) it still brays hell out of my hard disks when doing anything more than browsing the web. Strange thing is, the Business release worked much better. Then the Tuesday before commercial release a load of updates were made available and suddenly my system is running slow.
There is a Microsoft Reader for PocketPCs. Yes, it does ask for you to activate it with a Windows Live account to enable the DRM, but it still plays perfectly nicely with open eBook formats.

Lower fuel consumption in space = less fuel required onboard = lower launch weight = lower launch cost.
...constitute libel.
Could they not just... you know. Make their software work with the latest version of the world's most popular operating system?
Nope, all that does is makes you CTRL+ALT+DEL before giving you the usual login. If the option is anywhere though, it'll be in Group Policy somewhere.

Nope. That's probably the foil-based hologram present on all Euro banknotes.
Or you try visit something common like Google and your router has cached the DNS. Give it 24 hours to clear it :D

Indeed, would the game take the clever step of giving him a big notice saying "Everybody has muted you. Now STFU before someone kicks you, n00b."
Your effects are items you carry. Something can have an effect on something else (Affecting it). I'm not aware of any use of affect as a noun.
The GP was correct in his correction as far as I can tell.

Quicktime *does* work perfectly (Well, as perfectly as Quicktime normally does) under Vista, it's just not got an official 'Supported On' stamp yet.

Vista made me go "Wow". I went "Wow, I've gotta get me a Mac".

I don't think Italy is that hot on mobiles tbh - you quickly lose coverage if you wander down south. I'd think a better bet would be France or the UK.
