Not even holes drilled. A sledgehammer will render a disk unreadable to all but data recovery professionals in 99% of cases. And if you're the kind of person who has to worry about someone trying to recover data after that, then a solid degauss, drill and shatter the platters, degauss again and finally melt the pieces should thwart any data recovery attempt.
Depending on the client it probably won't send video. I know that for those I have used it uses the client's hardware to do any and all graphic rendering, due to the problem of getting rendered video back from a 3D accelerator in order to send it over the network.
I have no doubt it's possible, but I haven't come across any client which does this. Anyone?
Nah, it's years 12 and 13 (at least in the UK). Roughly equivalent to college, the place you go before university but after you've finished compulsary education.
I've been using the Beta for months now, and it works out far cheaper than anything else. What else can you get for $17 per machine which does antivirus (fully automated updates), antispyware, automatic disk cleanup (including defrag), automated backup (with removable HDD, and a nice backup method if not), automated updates, automated firewall with regularly updated patterns and gives end users a simple red, yellow or green status?
This isn't about "Well it could be done for free" or "OMG *NIX ROX MIGRATE NOW LOL!!". This is a product for end users to just install and it makes the system just work.
OS X has this rolled into the cost of the OS/Hardware. *nix has this cost in the time spent to configure your system. Windows has this cost as an optional extra.
It's obviously the same people who wrote Swordfish, with the "Triple DES connection" linking into every bank. Normally my suspension of disbelief is quite good, but I actually burst out laughing at that one.
And you honestly believe a government will use OSS with no tech support?
They will either pay someone like Red Hat to have a support contract, or spend hundreds of thousands hiring in-house techs. Tax money will still go on software, it will just be a less obscure licencing system (How many versions does Vista and Office 2007 come in?) and a nice warm fuzzy feeling from using OSS. Notice the lack of F/
Nah, I bet it'll cover the US exclusively for a couple of years in "beta" state. Then it might do Canada, UK and any Euro-based country. Middle East will likely be a fair way in the future. Remember how long PayPal took to reach their current state of internationalisation?
But this reaction doesn't occur in the lungs (hopefully), it occurs in cells. So the water would need to be extracted from urine, which I believe is an intended feature of any lunar colony anyway. All water will be recycled as much as possible.
So yes, it does produce water, but not in any significant quantities and it's likely to be trapped in cells anyway.
I stand corrected. But how difficult is it for indie devs to get on there? I know Valve/Steam needs a reasonable predicted sales, what's it like for Live?
I was thinking "Darwinia". Take a look at the Steam (Gasp shock horror proprietary lock-in yadda yadda) games list and it's definately got a fair few which are close to being hits in their own sphere. Rag Doll Kung Fu, for example.
The reason there are no hit indie games in a wider scope is because they don't have anything to draw people's attention. People just don't buy games unless they:
a. Have a good history of games with that same name, for example the UT series, The Sims, Half-Life, Halo.
b. Come from a studio with a reputation who can market the "From the makers of..." line, for example Bullfrog with Theme Park/Theme Hospital/Dungeon Keeper
c. Are associated with a film, and are hence buoyed by its marketing budget.
This rule becomes more true as you move towards consoles, since there is no way to grab an indie game demo on a quick download for your 360, and hence there is no development for consoles. In a similar vein, this influences buying decisions on PCs, leading to a lack of people willing to try other things because their console gaming buddies have never heard of it.

It should be best suited to things needing concurrent, but not parallel processing. For example you could be running several simulations at once, none of which are interdependent. When one is done, the processor can be handed another instruction without needing to wait for the results from everything else.
Because 911 is a centralised service, any router which detects a PRIORITY header can check it against a table of known emergency services. If the request is one of those services, then assume the next x PRIORITY packets from the same origin are to that same location, and pass them as such. If the request isn't to one of those, assume the next x*100 PRIORITY packets are also false and treat them as low priority as punishment.
If yuo run a mid-sized network just get your router/firewall to log everything that goes past to gat an actual idea of how much this is. I tried it a while back on my home network (3 users, slightly above average on each) and got some stupidly large volume of data.
Sorry, and I'll probably get modded for this, but give the OS X comparisons a rest will ya? We *know* it shares a lot of features of OS X. We also happily acknowledge that OS X was there first. However, OS X doesn't run on my PC. So until it does, Vista seems like the best approach and you can give up with the "Oh wow, what an amazing feature! OS X only had it 2 years ago! LOLOLOLOMGWTF!"

have the CAPTCHA image show something like "hotmail.com" in a random location. Of course, that doesn't bother those looking for their porn.

Something like "pass on the right?"
Aircraft are a bit more unwieldy, but the TCAS system should negotiate with each aircraft, and tell one to climb and one to dive.

Is this like using Linux locks me out of Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash etc. without pissing around with WINE?
If it just works, and just works well, people don't care if they can only use Apple.
It should be best suited to things needing concurrent, but not parallel processing. For example you could be running several simulations at once, none of which are interdependent.

The code will be the tricky bit.

Doesn't IPv6 have a priority header for things like 911?
