Well of course they had to make it easier to get in. You wouldn't want to be sued by someone who couldn't write. I am surprised they don't just go with the community college approach. Submit an application, pay your fee, show residence, and get a course catalog.
What do Sony, Microsoft, and Verizon, and the RIAA have in common? They all just don't get it. Plain and simple, they don't give a rats ass for the customer base. Don't care if a product works, Don't care about your privacy, Don't care if you get screwed, and apparently don't care if you will be a return customer. The have "Brand Bling" and don't need you. I would also add Direct TV to that list. Screw them all.
We, who live here endure things similar to this on a daily basis. The stats charges the highest taxes and you get nothing in return for that. The worst roads, some of the worst schools, terrible health care. But we do have a multi millionaire, movie star for a govenor. He doesn't have any of those issues!
He is a great guy, personally, and he is the best thing that ever happened to..where was it again? Oh yeah..., Austin Texas!.. OK, can I have my money now? ohh, and I was promised Cheesy Poofs! Where are my cheesy poofs?
And I've heard nothing of this great need for change to IPv6.
Score another one for misguided, uninformed media and sensationalism used as an advertising tool.
Yawn, move along, nothing to see here.
These fleebswits need to get a clue.
Perhaps if everyone stopped buying music entirely for a month, we could show them something. No, wouldn't work, too many would just go along with it...Alas, "You can't fix stupid!".
Figures, what I would expect from them. Lame, uninformed review. He liked Snow Leopard, ok thats fine but what if he actually put it in 64 bit mode? Try holding 6 and 4 and reboot. Jeeze lame. If you want to see if your in 32 or 64 bit go to the utilities/system profiler and look in software. It will show it. Oh and you must be running a 64 bit EFI. Most newer Macs are fine.
You guys do realize that if all the bootlegging stops and people have to actually pay for this M$oft garbage, besides business, absolutely no one will use it and the Linux distros and Mac actually have a chance.
More Monkeys! We need more Monkeys. Not the kind that steel my cheese either-- I can't tell you how many times I've been just in the middle of a fight with Hogger on my Mail-AH-alt and said "Ya know, I could use a Monkey right now".
Regardless of what everyone thinks here on slashdot, that is not good enough for some of us simply because it doesn't fall into the most recent standards we have to use at work. They use D.O.D. and also a couple other, more stringent.
So.. ya I know, this will do most anything you want to clean:
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdiskX//write zero's to the whole thing.
#tr '\0' '\377'/dev/zero | dd of=/dev/hdiskX//write 1's to the whole thing.
#dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hdiskX//write a bunch of random stuff...ya I know.. If your using older versions of AIX, pre 5.2 for example and some other OS's you may not have a/dev/random... well there are other methods to do that.
Whomever modded the parent post needs to read. First, she didn't violate ANYONES privacy. All the information she used was publicly available. Second, Why do you put police agencies on a pedestal "or worse yet with the law enforcement" worse yet? I think law enforcement can take care of themselves. The "worse yet" should be that they arrested her just because they didn't like what she was doing.
What? Warhammer Onlines dead? oh dam.. and I just hit rr70! Well, there is a couple servers still cranking along with good population.. but only a couple.
The real world reality I have experienced with Win 7 is not the glamor everyone hypes.
This thing is simply another Microsoft Product with all that implies.
Yes it's junk. I tried it on one box running nothing more than Warhammer Online (which works well in XP) and after 3 days of no issues it began to crash. At first every couple hours then every hour then every 10 minutes untill after a week of this, I could not start the game at all. I also have it on a virtual machine. Almost the same problem except that is my day to day general use VM. I started seeing things like Firefox suddenly won't start or Photoshop would hang. Enough of this crap. When I have to, I'll use XP, otherwise, I'll just be on my Fedora Box or my Macbook Pro when traveling. I'll pass on giving Msoft any more of my hard earned money.

But hey, facts is facts! and you know it's true! it's on the internet!
First Obama's UN speech and now the military using Microsoft.. this country truly is in serious trouble.

All I'll say is I am an Engineer in this industry and your a bit wrong. ...quite a bit.
I am wondering of they will send VMWare a virtual appliance. Nice
And I just bought the night sky atlas...'DOH'
So, your saying programmers resemble spiders and mice? Must be the pocket protectors! yeah, thats it! The Pocket Protectors.

I knew this reminded me of something: new movie AVP2 Alien Vs Predator, the beginning. //so thats how it all started...now I understand.//

It's just like windows. Press Harder if you REALLY meant to type "a".

presidence for this has already been set, It's called a "Rental Agreement" These guys just don't get it.
