If a user has to do so many administrative tasks in Vista that they need an administrator's password that often, they shouldn't be using a Limited User account in the first place... at least if you're an admin you only have to click a button.
Does this mean they're just screwing with the chapter/track information and leaving the filesystem intact? I could always just find the VOB files on the DVD and open them in mplayer to play movies. That skipped any chapter information.
Did Senator Stevens move to India or something? Internet access is definitely a service. When you buy FTTP, it's definitely NOT for the light that goes through the wires. You're buying it for the data that the light transmits. You're buying it for the access to the internet. Most people won't even care how that data gets to their PC.
"Powered by phpBB" in order to find phpBB boards that were vulnerable to an exploit to hack. This isn't exactly a new technique. Well ok I know it's not exactly the same thing but the idea is still the same.
Windows has been 32-bit for over 10 years, your point?
DRM has never once come up in my Vista use. In fact the most annoying problems I've had are with UAC, usually disrupting application compatibility. This was RC1, and RC2 is supposedly better at that.
As for DRM, stick with third-party tools, you won't see any change... keep ripping in MP3 and XviD encoded AVI, keep downloading from DRM free download services, keep playing media in Winamp or something non-WMP. I don't see what the problem is.
A DS is specialized for playing games in a handheld form. As such it was designed to draw as little power as possible so the battery life could be prolonged.
On the other hand, you have laptops with USB ports, hard disks, GBs of memory, large screens (these are the real power drainers I hear), disc drives, etc etc etc all which need power. And being PC compatible they can't really be too optimized to perform specific functions because they are general-purpose PCs. And when selecting a battery (plus the above components) they have to concern themselves about weight and price and heat and umm... chance of explosions... umm... so battery life is just another variable to balance in this equation, and unfortunately to keep some variables down or up others have to be lowered.
Parent is correct. I can use PHP to programmatically spoof a From address easily... of course, I can't spoof the origin SMTP server (at least not as easily), but it's still enough to fool your average Joe.
It's the different between send("to@email.com", "Subject", "Body"); and send("to@email.com", "Subject", "Body", "From: Someguy ");. That's all it takes.
The storytelling in Descent 3 is far better than in Descent 2... the plot actually evolves and changes as you play through it. I enjoyed it much better than the classic Descent games in a way (but I will probably go back to play them someday, they were still fun in their own way too). I encourage you to go and try it (the Mercenary expansion pack is neat too, although I don't think I ever beat it).
Here's some examples of things I liked in D3 that D2 could never have pulled off: In the 4th level in the beginning of the level you have to dodge trains in subway tunnels... quite possibly the most annoying part of the game but still interesting. Outdoor areas, although frustratingly limiting, are still a nice addition. The end of game cutscene was pretty good, at least better than D2's. I don't think you'll feel cheated when you see it.
I actually feel like playing some D3 now... hmm...
If you've used Vista you might have seen the icon for OneCare Live in the Welcome Center. Currently it's only for XP, but clearly it will be ported to Vista as well. Microsoft clearly is going to be able to make their own antivirus product work with Vista. Thus it is going to be possible for other companies to do the same. I don't see what the problem is.
I also recall the security vendors whining that MS made their own Security Center and they can't crack it. Well guess what... let's say I'm a hacker, and MS lets security vendors modify or replace the Security Center in Windows. I am now VERY happy, because I can now trick any user (even, for a short while, experienced system administrators) into thinking their anti-malware/badware solutions are working, when I've just turned them off and replaced the Security Center with my own fake one which lies through its teeth.
The Opera Team developed Opera for the Wii. Just like Retro Studios is developing Metroid Prime 3. Just like Nintendo is developing Zelda. They all are using the official SDKs which they paid $$$ for.
Considering Nintendo is trying to be the most innovative, it's surprising that they're the only ones sticking to the classic business strategies to actually make money off of a product and to actually make an effort to meet demand.
1. Servers will probably be able to toggle a CVAR to use old prices.
2. If Valve thought this through carefully enough to separate pistols from other weapons, I think they would've thought about this by now. The game probably considers them both the same weapon price-wise.

In this scenario, when you run Firefox next it'll ask you if you want to restore the last session or not. Then you just click "no".

Ah, but you're forgetting current and future administrations' policies affect foreign relations. There are no neutral parties, locally OR overseas.
I assume this affects the 1.5.x branch, but what about the 2.x branch or the 3.x branch?
It was a bug on the SCANNER, not the satellite. Best you can figure out is the DPI of the scanner and the scale of the film, maybe.
It was ported to the NES too, and IMO is the best looking out of the versions I've seen (which would be just NES and PC).
When MNG (animated PNG) is supported by all major browsers, I probably won't use GIF for anything anymore.

I like this one myself. Yes, technically it's a computer. :) Although not Intel...
What happened to WINE and Cadega? And don't forget the rumors about Apple implementing the Win32 API in Mac OSX...

Best part is, regsvr32 only deals with Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer extensions, so this won't affect any Office functionality.

Mine just did, I extended it over 8 hours now and this time it said it would restart in 5 minutes if I didn't answer it quickly.
