I don't know how they do it, but most things seem to not need a driver or use a preinstalled driver of some sort.
Because by default they include 2GB of every driver they could possibly find installed already.
If you click "advanced options" in the installer program, you can see and and deselect it (along with 1.5 GB of asian fonts) if you're starved for disk space.
Oh and while we're at it: 99c a song is acceptable, 9.99 per album is not,
Are you math-impaired? For an album of 12 songs, $9.99 is less than $.99 per song. Any album of 11 or more tracks (and most are) will be cheaper bought for $9.99 than $.99 per track. If the album is less than 10 songs, then it is always the number of songs times $.99, not $9.99. So, a 9 track album is priced $8.91.
The price of an album will *always* be equal to or lesser than the price of all of its tracks purchased individually.
Who would we kill? The people who voted for the other guy?
In America, we aren't oppressed by people using force of arms. We are oppressed by people skilled in manipulating other people. Well, what are you going to do, kill them? They've got a lot of people willing to defend them.
It's a goddamn pity that the United States has forgotten the brilliance of its Founding Fathers,
Don't forget the saintly Founding Fathers held many flatly contradictory views amongst each other. As well as many things we consider abhorrent today (read: slaves).
Just reading Slashdot presents an excellent argument for doing exactly what Bush has done. Why should the US send people that have such a bitter hatred for the president? Such inherant negativity can only be detremental to productive meetings.
I can just see it now...
ENGINEER ONE: I think we should allocate more bandwidth in the 400-500Mhz range.
ENGINEER TWO: No, that's not anti-Bush enough.
ENGINEER ONE: You're right, I forgot about our bitter hatred for the president for a second. The protocol should be designed to express our ominous political views.
ENGINEER TWO: What if we shifted the bandwidth to the 750Mhz range?
ENGINEER ONE: That's a little more anti-Bush, but not quite enough...
ANNOUNCER (OFFSCREEN): That's right, if *you* gave $250 to John Kerry, your bitter hatred for the president would have been a detriment to this otherwise productive meeting. If you ever give money to a party not in power, don't expect to take part in the specification of obscure technology protocols. It's for the good of the country.
Here's a list of the topics they would've been working on:
* Recommendation for 400 MHz bands * RLAN in the 5 GHz band * Recommendation on harmonized frequencies for property protection * Revision to Recommendation PCC.II/REC. 67 (XIX-01) on Low Power Radiocommunication devices, * Radio frequency identification devices (RFID) * Broadband Power Line Communications (BPL) * Refarming of 700 MHz band * Answer to Market questionnaire on IMT 2000 and systems beyond * Results of the video conference on wireless broadband
History will be written by the winners. They'll be no trace of the dirty liberal hands that gave $250 to the Kerry campaign on these obscure telecommunication standards.
The Bush administation's genious is in it's recognition that all our problems, on all levels, are caused by liberal influence. Did you lose the signal on your wireless LAN moments ago? It's a little known fact that when this happens it's probably because of liberal influence.
Here are some more examples:
* Rebuilding Iraq: It's a well known fact that development specialists are mostly liberals. Which is why the Coalition Provisional Authority was wisely staffed almost entirely by young people with absolutely no relevant experience. What one and only one qualification they did all have in common, which no liberal could ever have, was they had all once sent a resume to conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation.
* The CIA: Why couldn't we find WMD in Iraq? Because the CIA is full of liberals. "'Goss was given instructions... to get rid of those soft leakers and liberal Democrats. The CIA is looked on by the White House as a hotbed of liberals and people who have been obstructing the president's agenda.' said a former senior CIA official who maintains close ties to both the agency and to the White House."
Sadly, you don't hear about this because of the liberal media. I didn't do it mommy, liberals did it.
French partisans launch a cunning active resistance campaign, throwing forth constant barrage of daring acts of espionage and sabotage against the MPAA occupiers.
Moreover it's retarded to think of France and all things French as some sort of homogenous class that should be entirely hated or loved. It's perfectly OK to like some things, like their women and their food, and not like other things like their snooty attitude. And even then those have caveats, like French women can be snooty, and the French only seem to act snooty because you don't understand their politeness rules (they think you're being rude to them).
I didn't mean to imply that I thought that Apple shouldn't have used it.
I think that the current user interface ultimately has to do more with Steve's sense of aesthetics than with NeXT itself. Don't forget NeXT made a "NeXTCUBE" cube-shaped box, just as Apple did after Steve's return. The underlying Mach BSD Unix underlying everything is of course straight from the NeXT purchase.
Microsoft's research shows that the average corporate employee spends about 20% of her time on the PC simply looking for items.
Proof positive that those goddamnned menu item hiding chevrons in every MS app are a drain on our economy.

Wired might spontaneously run a story on tagging, but if Business Week is writing about it, the story must have been fed to them by a PR firm. Since PR firms cost $10-20,000 a month, only fairly rich companies can afford them. And sure enough, a few days later I read that del.icio.us had just gotten money from VCs.
No, that's not true in the slightest. Any size firm or charity can do PR. Wikipedia is in BusinessWeek every now and then, and they're not paying any PR firms anything. They just know how to write up a press release and use a fax machine.
What's particularly insidious is government PR and video news releases. Wikipedia can't replicate that.
Thank god. I for one can't go anywhere without certainly gay people peering at me in the most odd way.
I've installed locks on all my doors and windows so those goddamned gays can't sneak in and get up to no good. One look at those pillows, your curtains and you know you've been hit by the gays.
I've tried to do my part in my community by trying to keep tabs on them. I've taken some surveillance at the local YMCA. I've swept the mall and tried on some red swimware. Yet gay people keep decidedly peering at me in the most peculiar way.
We must stop the gay conspiracy and the gay media conspiracy, with their forced-redecoration squads running amok, frightening children and installing remarkably tasteful yet a little too frilly curtain vestments on every doorway and awning in this whole country. They want to take away our rights, to have our own curtains. The gay media conspiracy keeps a lid on it, however.
I urge you to ban gay marriage/civil unions in your state or your curtains may be next!

just change the HTTP header and keep your server the same all along
You could just change the HTTP Server header that Apache sends out. Someone should try it for a few weeks and see if it really makes any difference.
If you have mod_header installed, just add the below line to httpd.conf:
Header set Server "Microsoft-IIS/6.0"

You have to ask yourself, why are these products as good as you say they are?
Because they had to be good in order to beat the competition. And competition is precisely what we're going to have less of as a result of this deal.
