There's plenty of tech out there to protect your children from the Internet
You mean tech the average kid doesn't understand far better than the average parent?
and they already should not be able to walk into WalMart and buy a violent game.
Like that's going to help... Ever seen a little boy who just learned to walk and starts exploring his surroundings? The first thing he'll do is pick up sticks and start hitting things with it. There are certain things hardwired in our brain. That's a good thing. You just have to show them when is it appropriate to destroy things. TV doesn't cut it.
If I say I do, will that make you stop thinking about all the chemi^Wexperience enhancing substances your body did not have to handle during creation/evolution you drink each day?
So first off, Yes, Diet makes a difference- lacking two of the ingredients. And Diet Caffeine free is just fine. Additionally, these three inrgedients are not cola exclusive. Coffee (from dunks with liquid sugar), Root Beer, and other drinks, I'm sure, could find yourself in the same dillema.
How about water and lemonade (the real one, with only lemon and sugar)?
That people can get elected without having basic modern ape like intelligence is the scary bit, this primate was probably more self-aware than many of those elected officials.
C'mon. They're self-aware alright, and they know all too well who's paying them. And it's not the voters.
Is Microsoft 'correct' in downplaying, in the sense that the particular vulnerable configuration mentioned is not used by many?
'Correct', in the same sense downplaying the Holocaust because it wasn't an Apocalypse is 'correct'. It might be good to know not everyone was affected, but if you're in the middle of it, you're still fucked.
Note that downloading ISOs using a multi-part download resuming app to saturate my downtream from one source does not cause this issue. It's P2P-specific.
Well, that's kinda the whole purpose of P2P, isn't it? Don't blame the protocol for your dodgy hardware.
gaining insight on to how the performance impacts real people.
You have about one second from them hitting Enter and them reading the results. Any faster won't matter because the brain needs a context switch too, any slower and it'll be annoying. That'll be 4 million dollars please.
BitTorrent has similar issues. You'd have thought they'd realise that multiple sockets = fail for most home network equipment.
What are you talking about? AFAIK my torrent client uses one port only. And as with any P2P protocol, the only issue is to allow/enable/kicktherouterinto incoming connections. And if Grandpa can't set up NAT, he's not going to be a full member of the herd, and there's nothing we can do about it.

First Canada, than the US.
Generalize much?

Any finance-sensitive and/or war crime reports on that disk I wonder...

Hint: if it's manufactured, it's bad for you.
Apparently our fighting machines are still just in beta.
Yeah, a few bugs here and there, but they're ready for production. I mean, it's not like they could kill anyone.
winXP resists being slimmed down
Meanwhile, there's GeeXboX, a whopping 20 Mb livecd, fully functional as a media center.
I mean I wish them to be successful, but realistically when you're not an industry giant you can hardly hope to sell 100,000 units.
Google is an industry giant. Not that industry, but still, their brand doubles as a verb.
that Moblin is designed to optimally use Intel's Atom Processor and smaller screens so popular with netbooks.
I for one, welcome our new optimized-for-the-fucking-device-they-sell-it-with overlords.
On the upside, if everyone could see what you looked like naked then just maybe we could gain some headway into stopping the obesity trend in America.
Or a jumpstart to the Cult of the Eyeless.
Well usually you buy them a drink first.
But he is working pro bono...
That settles it. Free as in beer.
Oh, and prepare for the karma burn mate! ;-)
Me too, me too!
Imagine a beowulf cluster of karma burn!
Freaking Nanny statism is getting under my skin.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
And the caps filter sucks.

That depends, is this lawyer free as in speech or free as in beer?
Let me rephrase that: can we fork him?
Did they give any configuration which is not at risk?
Yes. it's a hidden one, only attainable by those who see the Light. All hail fdisk!
In my head I keep hearing, "don't use webDAV, use Exchange and SharePoint!"
Funny. It sounded like "use software with open standards and secure implementations" to me.

Experimenting by delaying a pageload for 500ms is worthy of ethical considerations?
No, they should be shot on sight.
I suppose they're doing us a service with this patent. Now no one else can deliberately cripple their operating system.
Why bother? Any artificial crippling will be removed by those meddling pirates anyway, from any OS. Remember the WGA check in XP? I've never seen it.
How are people who show up to use a free service "customers?"
They're the product, not customers.
