Huh? AFAIK none of the major players require admin rights. In addition Chrome (on XP/Vista/7) and IE8 (on Vista/7, not XP) both sandbox themselves and have been doing so for over a year now...
Power users use robocopy.exe to copy lots of files. Shows you progress without taking 5 minutes beforehand to count all the files first, automatically retries failed transfers, control over files to transfer or not based on name/size/date/etc criteria, support to sync or mirror folders, etc.
Often times Explorer will hang while waiting for I/O over the network to complete. Usually when I accidentally drag some files briefly over a folder symlinked to a network folder. Other times when I'm just scrolling down a list of folders on a remote machine I get lots of hitching. The drives are slow but this is really no excuse for the poor performance on THIS machine. This is Windows 7 btw.
Because the fix could break other things, or even not actually fix anything or fix the security vulnerability completely, or even cause a different security vulnerability (possibly worse).
Testing is important, especially when you want to attract users, not drive them away. Unstable software will do that.
The people who don't, for one thing. This system can help you avoid them, or help them avoid you.
Why do I need HUD, or worse, banner ads, on my windshield?
I don't think you'll see ads on your windshield. Too distracting, there would be lawsuits and finger pointing every time such a car was involved in an accident.
I don't want my windshield blue-screening on me.
I'm sure they would test to make sure the system can't obscure your vision of the road. Worst case scenario is it has a problem and turns itself off (that would be a sane course of action), and you're no worse off than you are today without such a system.
Except that when a torrent is bad usually a person will not reseed it. Though it is possible to "fake" seeds generally I've found a high number of seeds from a tracker you trust is a good sign.
"sort of like making a "credit" purchase on a debit card"
But isn't it harder to dispute a debit charge since the money is long gone by the time you notice the errant charge? With credit you can look over the charges before you pay and dispute anything suspicious.
Is it just me or do I see more outrage than the time MS shipped all versions of Vista on a single disc, and it was only the product key you got (and the price you paid for it) that determined the edition it installed. If you skipped the product key it had to ask you which edition to install!
Ah but his inability to fix his hearing problem with a hearing aid is directly connected to his joblessness since he can't afford a hearing aid without a job!
They were already pretty easy imo, TF2 runs pretty sweet, at least in DX8 mode (haven't tested it in Wine since Wine turned on DX9 support). Of course is OpenGL support coming to the Windows engine too is the question...
Newegg sells parts, not computers. They won't build your computer for you, you need to order from a specialty company that advertises that service.
Newegg is very transparent about its return policies. If you don't like the return policy for a part, order something else. Everything I ordered for my new PC could be returned for at least another of the same part, most of it could be refunded completely.
To counter your experience, I have NEVER had a bad experience with Newegg. Even when I misunderstood how to hook something up and accidentally sent it back under RMA, they fullfilled the RMA anyway and replaced it (then I got the new part back, had the same experience, figured I was doing something wrong, and figured it out).

Doesn't ATC already need to know the location of every plane to do their job?
It does not just appear on new installs but also after Windows Update installs a patch.

nVidia's site can autodetect your graphics card. I forget if it uses ActiveX or Java though.

There are tons of fake antivirus/malware products like that.
You can test the scanning and real-time capabilities of your AV with this:

I use CHDK on my own Canon PowerShot. Good stuff.
2007 doesn't require hardware virtualization either, only the Windows 7-only version does.

Uhhhh what do I torrent? Linux DVD ISOs, duh!
The lowest common denominator just moved up a pretty big notch, hooray!
Why yes I am a web developer, how did you guess?

AFAIK they're still doing this with 7.

Until they can't turn it off!
I live life risky, 5.5 here!
Then why put the sticker on the "heatsink" to make it look passable when viewed from outside the box?
Wasn't Windows intentionally broken when run under DRDOS at one point, or am I remembering wrong?

...because a 2 pack of AA cost US$18? :P
