One big difference is in the days of 9x you could just borrow a CD from a friend or your own older machine with no problems. Now unless you have access to a source of pirate copies of XP corp that are cracked to work with the latest wga you are pretty stuck.
MS has thrown the bone of downgrade rights but you have to have an OEM version (not retail not upgrade) version of vista buisness or ultimate to get them and even when you do excercising them involves telephone activation.
What you discribe is far inferior to a proper visual voicemail system. Handling all your voicemail on the end user device that can only handle one call at a time and may spend much of it's time turned off or out of coverage isn't going to cut it and having two seperate voicemail systems for the same phone number sounds more confusing than usefull.
Nothing wrong with playing games like GTA as long as you are mature enough to realise that they are not real any more than UT is real.
When the cops or someone else armed comes after you in real life you don't just wake up outside a police station or hospital with a small fine. You can't lose wanted level in real life by grabbing bribe pickups, saving and reloading or just being on the run long enough. You can't gain respect from the cops by stealing a cop car and doing vigalante missions. When you fail a mission for a gang you don't just get to do it again as if nothing happened. You don't just get money for blowing up cars in real life. When you kill people in real life they are gone for good and the cops (and if you are in the US and there is reasonable suspicion you have left the state the FBI as well) are on your tail. IIRC there is usually NO statute of limitations for murder. Someone nieve playing GTA could get a very warped impression of what gangster life is like.
A film is slightly different in that it isn't you performing the role of a gangster and usually the bad guys lose in the end.
IIRC they said they would underwrite all existing deposits and there was no mention of bonds or future deposits, that is a far cry from underwriting the whole company.
Maybe it will be enough to stop the panic and allow northen rock to get back on thier feet but the run has just made thier books even more mortgage heavy and seriously dented confidence in them. A buyout seems like the most likely outcome.
The nasty thing about rar is they keep bringing out new versions of the format. From what I can gather there are a lot of tools arround that will read the older variants of rar but very few that will read the latest variants.
zip technically supports a variety of compression methods too but i've never seen a windows zip tool that didn't default to producing basic deflate based zips that can be read by a huge variety of software (if you have a deflate implementation availible and are a reasonable coder working out how to deal with the zip headers should not take you very long).
To me SMP means two processors which operate in the same way and have equal access to main memory. Whether they are on the same die and what cache is or isn't shared seems mostly irrelevent as long as there is a cache coherency system in place for any non shared caches.
Do you have a different definition and if so what is it?
The power company may never even know about it but if they do find out and your local laws prohibit it then you could be in real trouble. Especially if your jury-rigged setup ends up shocking a repairman.
Out of interest how long did you try the little nub in the middle of the keyboard for? My experiance with them is that they take longer to learn than a touchpad but are much quicker to use once you do.
Nowadays though unless i'm in a really tight space I just use an optical mouse (which in my experiance work acceptablly on a far greater range of surfaces than a ball mouse.
more common is a HUGE understatement, multicore CPUs have brought SMP from something servers and high end workstations sometimes had to something that all but the lowest end computers sold today have.
Java is supposed to be backwards compatible and much of the time it is but you still get the odd app that fails to run on a new version of java due to either bugs in the new version, relying on non public classes, or relying on behavioural subtuleties that aren't fixed by the spec.
IIRC in the US private individuals cannot bring a criminal prosecution, so for someone to be prosecuted for a crime the government has to care enough to do so.
Next time, punish the company, not the company's clients. Sadly the EU has very little power to do this as those who really run MS are in the USA under the protection of a friendly governement.
I would imagine most people browsing w3schools are doing so from work. Corps tend to hold off upgrading for as long as they can get away with. There is no real pressure for workplaces to upgrade to vista. Many of them buy upgrade/downgrade licenses for every machine, OEM copies of vista buisness and ultimate come with downgrade rights to XP pro and many OEMs are still offering XP to buisness customers.
Home users have it much worse, home basic and home premium OEM do not come with downgrade rights, neither do upgrade releases so the only easy and legitimate way for them to get XP onto a machine from a typical home orientated retailer is to buy it full retail (yes they can pirate it or use a grey market whitebox OEM copy but both require contact with geeks who know where to obtain such things).
P.S. I don't like vista either but I realise that slowly it will take over the windows world just like XP did.
You can easily find the number of firefox users, if you multiply the firefox market share with the number of internet users. Say you have a billion users, and firefox accounts for 15% of them, so there you go, ~150 million users. The problem is you can't reliablly find the firefox market share. Every site you get data from tells a different story ranging from a few percent to more than 50% and of course you don't know if they are telling the truth.
The above site doesn't give even the slightest information on what the installer does. yeah it is rather vauge, that site is only really a temporary source though. I would imagine that with the next stable release of debian it will be placed on the official mirrors and described in the official installation guide.
Will it overwrite the Windows partition or will it resize it and install itself on a newly created one in the disk free space? It will operate in just the same way as if you booted the installer from CD, floppy, network or whatever. If you select the use entire disk option then it will do that, if you select the use the largest free space option then it will use the largest free unpartitioned space. Unfortunately if you want to resize the windows partion then you will have to use the manual partitioning option.
Editors, please, don't publish stuff like this on/. /. is a geek news site, you really shouldn't expect everything here to be polished enough for newbies.
win32-loader sets up NTLDR to boot the debian installer and then reboots to allow you to boot into it, once you are in the installer it functions the same as if you booted it any other way.

no 3.x to NT 3.x was the biggest jump, 9x was a comprimise because they jumped too far for many people.

do you have a link for a copy?
and some of the associated products certainly would

your method relies on having confidence in your ability to lie convincingly, not everyone has that ability.
Is it full rar support?
The nasty thing about rar is they keep bringing out new versions of the format. From what I can gather there are a lot of tools arround that will read the older variants of rar but very few that will read the latest variants.

For a new artist the big thing the labels do is promotion, getting your stuff played on the radio, getting it availible in record stores etc.
Some claim the internet makes this unnessacery but I haven't seen much evidence of that.
I don't see much practical difference between selling the copyright and granting a perpetual exclusive irrevocable license to the copyright.
Of course you could ban that too but then you would have to go to a lot of extra trouble to decide which licensing terms were and were not allowable.

toshiba used to call it an accupoint (i'm not sure if current toshiba laptops still have them and if so whether they still call it that).

Antitrust legislation is about stopping people using a monopoly or near monopoly position in one market as a lever to gain one in another market.
Since ford doesn't have a monopoly or near monopoly they aren't affected by antitrust legislation.

The windows based part doesn't actually touch the boot sector it just changes boot.ini.
wubi is NOT the same thing as this win32-loader.
