IIRC "No apparent reason" usually means "an application aborted the shutdown". It's a legitimate feature but apps can of course do it silently (AFAIK it's designed to happen if the user had unsaved work and they click "Cancel" in response to a Save/Don't Save/Cancel dialog.
I would quote the relevant portion of the article, but Slashdot has decided it's going to block clipboard pastes (?!?) so you'll just have to RTFA yourself...
IIRC there's a part of grub.cfg that is marked with comments to not be auto-replaced when grub takes inventory of your linux kernel versions. Put the Windows stuff in there.
Have been in there a long time, hidden by the --enable-vertical-tabs switch, so this isn't a new idea. Try it out yourself if you want (about:labs page isn't in yet so you'll need the switch).
Last I tried TF2 ran great under wine. Only problems were slight graphical glitches in some spots (I think ubercharged players were showing up wrong) and no DX9 support, only DX8. Other than that it ran surprisingly well, only slightly slower than on XP with the same system.
Depends how well the games are coded. PC games tend to plan for cheaters from the beginning since it's an open platform. Consoles might not because the closed nature means less hackers, but they really should... ports of PC games should in theory work better (but I hear TF2 doesn't hold up that well on the 360).
Sun marketing is rumored to have been responsible for the similar names (they wanted JavaScript to leech off of Java's success) but they have nothing in common with each other.
Phishing sites will sometimes show a login failed screen on the first try so you think you entered a bad login. Then they redirect you to the real site login page so you can "try again".
Ah, I see, it's the username@url trick they're referring too, and the dialog box that comes up. But that still would not affect the url of the top level frame, which users are going to check.
OK so by URL obfuscation I assume it means using russian or other non-latin characters in place of latin ones in domain names to make a site domain look like paypal etc. But if you just put the login form in a frame THE TOP LEVEL PAGE STILL NEEDS A URL. I don't understand how that would help any, or am I misinterpreting "url obfuscation"? I link to the relevant bugzilla bug would be useful.

Now I have to have Quicktime on my machine ... which I am not a fan of.

Too bad we can't register justicey.gov and repost the libel and slander...

On reflection, the names of some of those apps sound like they would need admin privileges to be useful. Sigh. Though it might help if they don't.
Don't run those apps as administrator. Administrator privileges are needed for raw disk access.

The best part about that article is that it came true.
They have to test their code somehow...
This works for me.
Of course then the neighbors start wondering why he's burying pipes in his backyard.
Disguise it as a legitimate home improvement project though (like putting up a fence) and you might have a winner.
Did Slashdot just advise us to cut back on Slashdot?
I don't know what kind of allowance YOU got or who's lawns/driveways YOU mowed/snow shoveled, but for me, during high school $270 was NOT "tiny".
It sucks less
Last I checked it ran pretty good in Wine (the Source engine too), so it's not a total loss.

They can't ask if you got arrested, that's illegal AFAIK. (IANAL)

I found your comments suspect and a quick Google pretty much confirmed my suspicions.
Are you sure?
