Do you seriously think that a machine old enough to need a non-ACPI HAL is going to be powerful enough to run Vista?
Heck, I havn't bothered to look, but I would almost assume that a Vista requirement would be to have an ACPI BIOS.
I wouldn't say that `bad` things never happen on the DMLSS program.
I would say that for better or for worse, Steve is as heavily vested in Linux/Unix and FOSS as any of your most vocal supporters here on Slashdot. The notion of him bowing down to some pressure to replace OpenSSL with some other vendors implementation is just beyond conceivable.
Even an "image" isn't really good enough because you occasionally have to make updates to your image. The real way to do it is to have an automated process that builds your image from source files that can be verified to be clean. Install Windows, Load Your Apps, Apply tweaks and then attach to the network.
I agree. Anyone who thinks they are the same if a friggin bando. That said I love listening to Star's Blast! CD. It's so amazing listening to the horn players switching instruments. You really can hear a clear difference in voicing.
Years ago ( 1992-1996 ) I served with The Commandant's Own, United States Marine Drum & Bugle Corps. I'd like to address two things:
Funerals
When we talk about a bugle playing taps we are talking about a "simple funeral" ( a full honors funeral consists of a complete band ) and we are also typically talking about a field music playing taps on a Bb Trumpet because the U.S. Military only has 2 D&B corps left. One is The Commandant's Own in Washington, DC and the other is the U.S. Naval Academy Drum & Bugle Corps. I'm not sure how the USNA D&B works but the USMC D&B has a Duty Music of the Guard and an on-call rotation of upper-voice ( Soprano & Mellophone players ) musicians for funerals. Lower voices ( baritone and contra-bass baritone players ) do not do funerals for what should be an obvious reason. The means there are only several dozen musicans available for funerals and most of them are not available due to other operational committments of the organization. That said, they perform at hundreds of simple funerals per year in the Washington, DC area. The families of the fallen servicemen who receive these last honors are truely the lucky ones. I've witnessed many funerals and they are truely emotiona.
Thoroughout the rest of the nation simple honors funerals are perfomed by musicians from various field bands of the U.S. Military, national guard bands and volunteers from Bugles across America. They do their best to meet the mission but the sad fact is that WWII veterens are dying at a rate of couple thousand per day. Many unfortunatly, do not get proper last honors.
Bugles:
I've seen many posts in this thread with misconceptions of what a bugle is. In the military context the bugles are 2 valved ( pistons ) instruments that are pitched in G. The first valve lowers the pitch by 2 semitones and the 2nd valve lowers the pitch by a semitone. This provides for a full chromatic scale in the instruments middle range. Some notes in the lower registers are missing. Music is written to the treble clef and arranged in SATB format. Typically it's Upper and Lower Lead, 2nd and 3rd Soprano. Upper/Lower Melophones. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Baritones ( 8vb ) and Contrabass Baritone ( 15vb ).
The traditional print to paper fax machine is old and should die. The last place I worked at was large enough that FAX was integrated with their VM system and all public fax machines were thrown away. If you wanted to send a FAX you went to the copier and scanned it to your inbox. If you wanted to receive one they fax'd it to your telephone number and it showed up in your inbox. Add in a FAX spam filter module and problem solved.
Nearly 5 years ago George Bush brought up this very issue.

"Vampire electrical devices in "stand-by" mode constantly draw small amounts of power while plugged in even though their main switch is turned off. They can also consume as much as four percent of all the electricity used in an average home. "If we multiplied the vampire devices' energy consumption across the country, we're talking about 52 billion kilowatt hours of power a year, or the equivalent of 26 average-size power plants," said President Bush."
Your right. They are "going to" one day when they finally dump their Macs and join the rest of the world. This is what happened to me when I dumped my beloved Amiga.
Man I hope BO isn't as buggy as it used to be. Years ago I was doing CM work integrating BO into the build process and I still have nightmares of writing UNIX shell scripts to recreate the repository in Informix and then remotely trigger Designer to publish the universes using a VBA macro. We had to publish the reports and then pull them back out so BO could do it's special magic. This way we could distribute the report files to a client workstation and let the user refresh the data without having to pull the repository and down. Course this was still better then the old BO 3.11 Patch E days..... ugh fricking French developers.
I few briefings on OPSEC and you'd understand why this is. Once something is classified TS it can never be declassed below Secret so it must be destoryed. I for one don't want to take the chance that some hard drive that someone placed in the SCIF and thinks it was never used will end up out in the wild.
Your right, the blood test is way more accurate and more importantly you keep the sample as evidence for trial.
But here is the problem... in Texas you don't have a right to demand a blood test. It's the cops call to do blood or breath and if you refuse the breath test and offer blood the cop can say no, you refused. Your lawyer can bring this up at trial to try to convince the jury but thats it.
So think about your false arrest scenario again. If the breath test is wrong you have no evidence to try to disprove it. That sounds more then a legalistic loophole.
I pulled jury duty earlier this year and was placed on a DUI trial. I can tell you that breatholizers are complete bullshit. In Texas if you are pulled over refuse to take the test and offer to have a blood sample instead. They will threaten to take your license away if you say no but it's an administrative process and you can still get exemptions and keep driving.
I learned alot more about DUI law during that trial and while I never personally drink and drive I could see very easily how one could be falsely suspected and convicted.
So how did the jury decide? We didn't there was a mistrail because the "sleezy lawyer" ( the prosecutor in this case ) asked the cop a question about the administration of a PBT ( portable breath test ). These are not admissible in TX court and the judge had already said it wasn't allowed in. The judge felt that we wouldn't ignore the fact that we had heard the cops answer and declared a mistrial. He said he felt the prosecutor made a "mistake" but I don't believe it. I think she knew the trial wasn't going her way and wanted a way out.
It kinda sucked actually.... it was like reading a novel and not getting to read the end of the book.

I finally found out something I like about WGA! It'll protect everyone with pirated Windows from getting IE7 shoved down their throat!!

I spent 6 years on the DMLSS project... I know Steve Marquess very well. There is no way that what you suggest is even remotely possible.

But somehow I doubt that anyone will care about your 27,171 emails in a hundred years.
Ha ha. Good one.
Can anyone else admit they feel humbled when they read things like this?
