It's not "guessing" at all, it's the logical conclusion to draw from the fact that the chips had detached from the motherboard due to overheating and weaker solder.
Anybody can guess. "Hell, I guess it was gremlins". Making wild guesses and drawing conclusions based on evidence and observations, however, are two different animals.
If you're waiting on Microsoft to admit they did something wrong to believe they did something wrong, then you'll be waiting a long time.
Microsoft has already done this. They have identified the problem that caused the general hardware failure (insufficient heat dissipation and weak solder) and retooled their assembly line to fix it. Any hardware failures you hear about are older xboxes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_technical_problems for more info.
The alternative - each window having a button in the taskbar - means that the buttons are so narrow I haven't got a clue what they represent.
I have a high resolution widescreen (1680x1050 on desktop, 1920x1200 on laptop), so that never happens to me. I guess I can see where you're coming from though, if you have a 1280x800 screen or something, for instance.
Then again, you can always increase taskbar size vertically to fit twice the amt of items, albeit that is very ugly.
If you like expose, however, there are similar applications for windows, for when your taskbar does indeed fill up.
Trademarks aren't copyrights, there is no "fair use clause". Beyond that, Google never said they were doing it to comply with laws. They are probably doing it as a professional courtesy. If somebody wanted to put an "ad" up that slammed freerepublic, and freerepublic asked Google not to, then Google would give them the same consideration.
perhaps you'll be singing a different tune when you're unable to afford housing because you quit your job so you could sing a lullaby in person instead of over the phone once every few months.
CSIRO doesn't want to license the technology to the 'n people', they want them to use it without their permission so that CSIRO can later sue them for 100x more than licensing fees. That's why they're refusing to sign the document that forbids them from suing.
There's no need to get so worked up just because I dissed your school. Maybe I broke the illusion, I'm sure when you get back in class tomorrow it will seem advanced again.
In case you weren't already aware, violent drunk drivers who injure or kill people don't get alcohol interlocks, they go to jail for a decade and then usually won't get to drive again for a long time. So the analogy of nonviolent drunk driving to nonviolent copyright infringement is actually more accurate than you wish it was.
In America, Vista Ultimate is US$399, and the cheapest version of Vista is US$199. I think we can all agree that it doesn't matter what the Europe pricing is, because the story isn't about any European countries, it's about the USA.
Of course, that's assuming that he is required to use Vista, which I seriously doubt. In fact, judging from experience, the group that makes the monitoring software probably doesn't have a Vista-compatible version out anyways.
For what it's worth, XP is $89.
The VA-111 Shkvall travels between 200 and 250 knots, which is to say 230 - 290 mph, which is between mach 0.3 and mach 0.33, and last time I checked, 0.3>0.33>1.
VPNs require exactly the same amount of processing power on an access point as any other network application. The access point doesn't encrypt or decrypt anything on a VPN. All it sees are packets and frames, regardless of the application.

You've discovered file sharing. Now you're pretty much on par with anybody who has used computers in the last couple decades.
The camera in question is oakley's spinoff camera brand, Red Digital Camera.

What would they do about encrypted traffic, then?
That's not a loophole, that's the court-ordered choice he gets. Go to prison or have your computer monitored or don't use a computer.
They're not forcing him to patronize a specific company. Besides, do you think the alcohol interlocks appeared out of thin air?

Buried fiber optic cable has signs marking it along the way, to prevent this sort of thing from happening accidentally.
I agree. Please mod me up for no good reason, too.

AdAware won't detect any spyware, unless you pay them $50, and even then it will probably only detect half of it.
The 8x slot is meant to use an extra nvidia graphics card as a physics accelerator in the future.
Oh heh, I hadn't noticed my mistake until you pointed it out :P
The speed of sound in air is ~760mph.
The speed of sound in water is ~3,355mph.
What was that you were saying? Something about blathering about things you don't know about?

"an unusual feature about 10m down which could either be compacted lake sediments or a buried fragment of space rock"
"Sir we found an anomaly at the bottom of the lake."
"Well, what could it be?"
"It's either dirt, or a ROCK FROM OUTER SPACE!!!"
