A good way to fix this would be to make the user hold down a button or buttons (like maybe WinKey+Space or both mouse buttons). Then it doesn't work without you meaning to put in a command.
There's a very good reason. Only Intel uses VT. AMD uses a different, but similar tech called Pacifica. I'm not entirely sure of what software uses it.
It's been 4yrs since I played, but I'd say it would be a standard Dexterity check. And if that was my table, by all means he would be allowed to drag the corpse around and put it in people's way. Of course, he would have to deal with things such as: the weight of the corpse, handling the corpse steadily and the decaying body (which would bring in disease, as well as the smell of a dead body).
That sounds nice, but remember that we are dealing with the MPAA here. I -highly- doubt that will happen anytime soon, after seeing what happened with the music industry and iTunes and friends allowing burning music to CDs, destroying the copy protection they wanted so badly
A) You can't put a full 2hr movie on YouTube without breaking it into 20 chunks, which is a HUGE hassle B) YouTube looks like crap on my 15in laptop. What about your 42in 1080p HDTV? C) Put YouTube on your TV without a device more advanced than a DVD player
Not that this doesn't have it's own problems: A) Ridiculous bandwith requirements for the common person B) Can't put it on your TV easily (again)
Don't think this is the end of Blockbuster and friends yet. They still have one -major- advantage over streaming. The TV. Until there's some way to put these videos on your TV without offending the MPAA (Not everyone has a HTPC), DVDs will always have the advantage. Not to mention the low amount of people I know that have the necessary bandwith for this service.
To my knowledge, once the key for a disc has been let out, the only thing you can do is make a new key for the next run of the movie. I don't think you can have the players reject disc keys. Anyways, they would have to do a recall for everyone who had bought the movie.
Including the people that pried the key from the original

What on earth happened to thinking like "640k ought to be enough for anybody"? Sometimes I think that rapid advances like this hurt programmers. If we have 100 GB discs, what encouragement do we have to make movies in 2160p that fit in 15 GB?
Making the box bigger makes it harder to think outside the box. Being unable to think outside the box kills creativity.
Sorry if you missed the point, but the idiot-proofing I'm talking about is against the WHS equivalent of "FREE SCREENSAVERZ", etc. I'm sure the actual GUI is pretty solid, it's the idiots that install stuff off of bannerads that we need to protect against.
I really think that MS needs to lock up WHS to be idiot-proof tight. If you need to put software on it (plugins for mediacenters, game servers, etc.) you should have to burn it to a CD, put it in the server, and then go back to the interface to see what you're going to install, and confirm it by pushing a button on the server. Yes, it's a hassle, but makes sure it's near 99% idiot-proof. Clicking through boxes is one thing. Having to physically push different things should set off alarms for someone
Suprisingly, my Acer came with near-zero crapware. All they installed was some media-center software. Of course, that means jack-shit when you install Kubuntu over it.
What would happen if you put them over here? For simplicity, let's say that every kid in every decent-sized city has one of these things. The mesh could potentially spread across the entire city. Which means a total blanket of Internet access. Do you have any idea exactly how, in a word, PISSED the telecoms would be about this?

I hope you meant that as sarcasm. I find extensive documentation to be a good thing.

WHQL signing (or the new equivalent) anyone? Which I believe is mandatory in 64bit Vista?
It is. Just disable Aero, or you will have the illusion of running Vista on a Pentium 133mhz
Yes it does. Well, it does on Xubuntu anyways
Team Fortress 2 is actually shipping somewhat soon.
Remember the part where it can go up to 95 miles in the air.
Think meteor. A big huge rock falling out of the sky from space tends to hurt.
You mean like Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game? It exists...

And Skype itself was an obvious progression from P2P media transfer.
These are the same guys that did Kazaa.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype for the curious
Yes, but Netflix is running their system as an IE browser plugin. Since there's no files to move to the AppleTV, it won't work like that.

Do you really think MS would let Word become part of the OS? How else could they sell it?

Note to Acer: Stop partitioning the HD's in half.
There's an open-source version of Crossover also.
It's called Wine.
CodeWeavers works on Wine, and sells a paid, supported edition called Crossover. Need proof? Go to winehq.org, and click the "paid support" link
