It's fairly easy to create a slipstreamed install disc.
Fairly easy, if you know what you're doing to begin with. If you don't, I suggest you use nLite; it'll slipstream it for you, and a whole lot more, too boot. Things like integrating drivers (including RAID and SCSI drivers, so no more floppies), removing components, and setting up unattended install answer files.
...makes absolutely NO sense in-context. The GP chose to display his e-mail address publicly. That means any promise to keep his address "totally private" explicitly does not apply.
Only a "hell of a lot" if you aren't used to much. And Microsoft's Service Packs always include new features; if it's nothing but bug fixes, they call it an "Update Rollup". Hell, the list of features XP got from FREE Service Packs dwarfs the list of new features in the $30 Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard includes some refinements to the UI, support for Exchange, support for 64bit memory addressing, multi-core optimizations ("Grand Central Dispatch"), support for GPGPU, a new version of QuickTime, and an updated printing system. Not a whole hell of a lot; sounds like Service Pack material, to me. Might compare more favorably to WinXP SP2.
...that, since the satellites are looking TOWARDS Earth and not AWAY from it, it'll only see objects that are actually IN Earth's atmosphere, which is FAR too late to actually GUARD anything.
Undercover requires that the thief runs an application (disguised as a game) in order to work, were as MobileMe, as an app from Apple, will pull location data in the background.
Oh, it supports the MCE remote, but the support absolutely SUCKS. Uses left/right arrow to skip forwards/backwards, up/down arrow to control volume, OK button to pause/use menu. Back button works reasonably, but it's the only one that does. No support for ANY other buttons other than those.
Seriously, you spent the time to interpret the MCE remote messages, take the FIVE FREAKING MINUTES to take that one step further and recognize the play/pause buttons, the skip forward/back buttons. Spend a little extra time beyond THAT and give me a way to instantly hide the damn OSD. It was a pain in the arse when I tried to watch an episode of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, which they have in the original Japanese w/ subtitles. The damn progress bar thingy was RIGHT over the subtitles, and waiting a few seconds while it's playing to be able to read them is just plain STUPID.
If they fix the remote support, I'll be fairly happy with it. Until then they can shove off.
Funny...

Then keep your Windows boxes off the Internet, you insensitive clod.

You didn't stop to get the mental image of Bauer jumping into frame and reiterating the beat-down every time Thompson brings it up?
No, but now I have the mental image of Jack Bauer beating the crap out of Jack Thompson.
That really made my day...

Windows 7's updated features vs Snow Leopard's.

YHBT.
And now I'm hoping one of the new episodes of Futurama will have Al Gore's head trying to have a conversation with the Hypnotoad...
Oh snap, facts!
The amusing thing is, as an Anonymous Coward, for him to have a "0, Offtopic" someone would also have had to mod the post up.
That argument would only hold water if you could demonstrate that, without IE, the OS would cost less.
Hate to pull the "reply to the first reply" BS, but seriously, stop treating this guy like he's original, becaues he's not.
Also, if anyone DOESN'T know about that, check out the timeline on the /. Wikipedia entry, particularly the January 16-30, 2002 entry.
Wow, you re-post the most moderated /. comment EVER, and no one recognizes this?
If the one being camped (for more than a few kills), this is the time that you contact your fellow guild mates and reverse the camping situation.
Not all WoW players join guilds.
I dunno, go ask someone with more experience with these things...

Commercialization can ruin ANYTHING. ESPECIALLY commercialization.
Buddy Christ, actually.
If it helps any, I think that such crass commercialization negates pretty much any value system.
I'm sorry, but I prefer my games to NOT waste my time while I'm not even PLAYING them.
