Ever tried using those? Driver support for both XP and Win2k3 64-bit is spotty at best. There are a number of application incompatibilities, too. The best bet for 64-bit Windows is Vista (ick!) or Windows 7.
I think the damage has already been done, though. Since the major security fiascos with IE6, I will *never* trust IE again. Something that is bolted into the operating system, running who-knows-what from every website you visit is just plain insanity.
OMG no. You get balloons, a deck of cards, napkins (napkins?!) and free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. You're suppose to install it on your computer and become familiar with and demo it, but since I've had a copy since the RTM was released last month, I'm just going to raffle it off.
Most of this crap isn't even going up, but here's the full list of junk: -One limited Signature Edition Windows® 7 Ultimate -One Deck of Playing Cards with Windows® 7 Desktop Design -One Puzzle with Windows® 7 Desktop Design -One Poster with Windows® 7 Desktop Design -Ten Tote Bags with Windows® 7 Desktop Design for hosts and guests -One table top centerpiece for decoration -One package of Windows® 7 napkins
Also included in USA party packs:
-One package of streamers for decoration -One package of balloons for decoration
Looks like the rest of the world gets the shaft, what with no balloons or streamers...
Typo. Meant Vista. Experience feels faster. I play a lot of online games and get 25-50% faster framerate. I never went with Vista, instead been on XP.
Why?
"You hear that, Mr. Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability."
XP is on its way out. Drivers can be scarce to come by with some new hardware, plus the allure of being able to use >3.5GB of RAM is nice, running on a well supported OS. With my Core i7 rig, I never really have to quit out of anything because I can address so much more RAM.
I'm actually hosting one of these, but we're also going to be doing comparison demos of Ubuntu and Snow Leopard. In addition to the Windows 7 junk that comes in the party kit (including a free copy of Windows 7 Ultimate), I will be giving out LiveCDs and and discs of free software.
I think Windows 7 is a marked improvement over XP (I have been using it fulltime since the beta), but friends help friends find what's best for their situation. I have die hard Windows/Mac/Linux friends, so doing it this way is a chance for everyone to explore something new--even if I have to make an excuse like a Windows 7 party to do it.
It would be rather trivial for Palm to write their own sync app that, through Apple's own published public APIs, could sync with an iTunes library through software. Palm just wants a free ride. Apple are well within their rights to stick it to them.
Let's get to the heart of the issue here. Maybe I'm feeling particularly crabby this morning, but when will people just start taking responsibility for their actions? Will putting a label on the photo really stop girls from doing harmful things to their bodies in order to imitate what they see in ads? Does it even work for people who smoke cigarettes? I say you either pull the ads altogether *OR* you let people make their own choices and live with the consequences instead of creating excuses for self destructive behavior.
Which gives rise to the question: Why isn't captcha giving us complete sentences? Not only would you be OCRing more words, but the context gives the human a greater chance at getting it right, whilst increasing the chance of a spam bot of getting it wrong.
So here's an idea to appease the tax-penchant politician and the wearers of tin foil hats:
What if you were to pay taxes based upon the average miles life of your car? For example, if you own a vehicle you would pay a mileage tax not on what you drove, but the expected miles/expected life. So if you were to expect to drive 150,000 miles for the life of the car over ten years, then each year you would be required to pay taxes on 15,000 miles that year.
At this pace, it looks like cable TV and computers will soon be divorcing.
As part of the divorce proceeding, I and my computer have been separated from cable for some time. We've been hanging out with a new mistress, Online Video. I can tell you that the divorce is only a formal proceeding and we will be much happier once it has taken place.
I think that's the real difference here. BSA targets more the business, whereas the RIAA targets ordinary consumers.
On another note, however, it would be interested to know the union of those who violate software copyright (not just businesses, but ordinary consumers) and those who do so with music.
You don't seem to know what you're talking about, either, because as that script reads, authentication is an ancillary feature of the protocol whose main objective, (as my post indicates and non-coincidentally appears in the draft spec), is to hide what is being transmitted.
Except that SSL was never intended as a way of establishing identity, even though it is a feature of it. Its purpose is and always has been a means of encrypting communication. As your valid reasons indicate, anyone using it to identify is absolutely peanuts.
So instead of forcing people to dig through the proverbial hay stack, why not require legislators to file earmarks in an electronic format. This legislation would also void any earmarks that are not in compliance. This way the data can be mined instantaneously, the process made transparent, and make the process more informative to the government's constituents.
In some perverted way, make the Bureaucracy go through a bureaucratic process to reveal their true colors.
But that's the beauty of it, you see, because if you bought a copy and got the source, *you* can sell it on Cydia--and the App Store too! That's what's interesting about this whole bit with GPL software being sold on there. Will someone pick up the source and resell it on the app store for $1.99? Rinse, lather, repeat, until it's a free app? It would be an interesting study of the economics of open software on a very closed platform, one more so than anything M$ has.
Not only that, but if it really is such a big problem, then fix the cell architecture. The thing I find truly laughable is the justification that a drug dealer could use this to make anonymous calls/data transfer/whatever. The whole point of this discussion is to give *legitimate, honest citizens* the right to modify their phones. Do you think the drug dealer is worried about whether or not it is legal or not? He's already breaking the law in trafficking drugs, what's running the Pwnage tool going to hurt???
They're just pissed that the consumer wants to legitimize what should already be their right--to modify *their* purchased device for their own personal uses!
On that note of space combat, why not go with X-Wing vs. TIE. When that game came out, the Internet was still a nascent, newfangled thing and didn't playm multiplayer well unless you were on a local LAN. I'd love for that entire genre to get a reboot--it was just fun flying in the cockpit of an A-Wing or TIE Advanced, blowing ships up with a friend.
Slashdot Mirror
Bigger than this, is that the server OS, Windows Server 2008 R2, only comes in 64-bit. This also is a great way to end 32-bit on the consumer side.
Would that be a reverse class action lawsuit?
Breathing. One of the checks is not just a pulse, but breathing as well.

An early adopter to your opinion ought to be categorized the same.

Perhaps you don't remember, but IE 5 was LIGHTYEARS ahead of Netscape.
Great, that happened *ten* years ago. What has happened since? They've been chasing the Fox for past *five* years.

You really have no clue about how this stuff works
Perhaps not, but I (and many Americans) know how it *should* work

Nothing new in Windows 7, you can do that in Vista, too.
