Frank Martinez, a New York lawyer who specializes in intellectual property law and who represents several typeface designers and foundries, said the difference between having a font temporarily downloaded to your computer and having it installed permanently on your computer is like hearing a song on the radio versus getting a band's CD. "Either way you receive the music," he said. "But if you hear it on the radio, you don't own it, and you can't play it again."
If it is WOFF, what prevents one from decompressing and installing it locally?
Fonts in WOFF format are compressed but are not encrypted, the format should not be viewed as a "secure" format by those looking for a mechanism to strictly regulate and control font use.
The compression format is lossless, the uncompressed font data will match that of the original OpenType or TrueType font, so the way the font renders will be the same as the original.
As an aside, I really like more choices of fonts, but the potential licensing cost just drives me away.
Unique to Visual Studio® 2010 Express is a new streamlined user experience that focuses on the most common commands by hiding some of the more advanced menus and toolbars.
Anyone who has actually downloaded and used it cares to share if this is Windows 2000 style personalized menu all over again?
Kids in many Asian counties have loads of homework for Summer/Winter/Spring breaks. So even if they have vacations planned, they need to bring the homework with them! Compared to kids here, where breaks truly mean breaks.
The WTF here is that on Windows Home this is hard and on Windows Pro this is easy. Windows Home lacks the graphical interface to do it. You have to use "cacls.exe", which is a command line tool. That said, I head there is a patch which restores the graphical ACL editor. You evidently need to log in as Admin to make these ACL changes
Microsoft used to provide said patch to NT4 users and that same patch will work on XP Home. I've tried it. The link is now broken but it should still be available on other "mirror" sites.
There are a few ways to get the Standard Server version legitimately for free. Yes, the codebase is mostly the same, but Server/Vista are not just different in services. Check that win2008station forum on what's missing on Server.

Do you consider MultiBit from a random source?
Firefox: plugins.click_to_play = true
This also seems to mess up Youtube's play "icon" detection before you activate the video.
The `ink' color/shade looks inconsistent. E.g. in the video where he draws a line with a ruler, the line is broken.
MS tried to throttle the startup programs in Vista so they don't all hit the disk at once, but reportedly gave up that idea in Windows 7:

And you can still do this to-day to remote desktop services (formerly terminal services) on server 2008 r2.

Quite off topic, but I don't remember any Jesus-regenerated-a-limb miracles in the Bible, or are there?

It's like saying capital punishment will eliminate those crimes. No, it won't.

Why point to Wikipedia when the fact is on Foxconn's own page?
You know why that guy was stupid and got the details wrong, don't you?
Not to be confused with Firefox Addons, which seem to be fairly secure, and are pieces of javascript.
This is not true. You can have native DLLs in Firefox addons. Check out the Glasser addon, for example.
Running old programs in a virtual machine doesn't necessarily create a good user experience

and it seemed that half the time I would hit something on the Gentoo site anyway
May be because google personalized your search even when you're not logged in?
Advanced Radio Transmission majors?
This one works differently than any other virtual desktops. Much less usable if you ask me.
That thing crashed me at least 3 times the night I installed it.
And the keymap option is seriously lacking.

DreamSpark and MSDNAA are two similar but different programs that offer different free downloads.
Wouldn't it be a far better cost/effort equation to just buy a better HD camera in the damn first place?
Hint: years old amateur/family/etc video meets modern high-res camera.
