Do you remember the sound the Sega Genesis made when booting up? It was two chords and someone singing the word Sega.
I always wished someone would make a Windows startup sound with those same chords except singing Windows. It would also need to be lo-fi like the Genesis one.
Anybody know if anyone ever made something like that?
Use a logon script to change their temporary internet files to a reasonable size. For some reason the temp internet files are in the roaming profile. By default, they're a percentage of the drive (usually gigs).
This one sets temp internet files to 128mb. It works for me but YMMV

If you had installed Windows before, you would know that it doesn't play DVDs out of the box. It won't play MP3s out of the box either. It sure as hell doesn't play Apple DRM files out of the box.
If your Windows does these things out of the box it is because of 3rd party software installed and configured by your OEM. I never bought an OEM Linux computer, but I would assume that the OEMs would do that sort of things for Linux too.
I won't argue that both MS and Linux can be a big PITA to use, but I just wanted to point out the flaw in your logic.
Well, you wouldn't expect to be able to hold a local gathering of electronics vendors and call it the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
It's not like they can go after you for making an application and saying it's a "Web 2.0 app". In fact, they'd like that because it would validate their existence.
Of course, if you actually do change Mozilla's DPI to something other than 96, it totaly borks the scrolling leaving remnants of fonts and half lines everywhere. At least, this was my experience with Firefox on X.
I think history has shown that "better content" has little to do with search engine ranking. You just have to know how to work the system better than your competitor.
Having said that, I wish someone would invent a search engine that would push some of this "better content" to the top of search engine results.
[DSA 874-1] New lynx packages fix arbitrary code execution October 27th, 2005 Ulf Härnhammar discovered a buffer overflow in lynx, a text-mode browser for the WWW that can be remotely exploited. During the handling of Asian characters when connecting to an NNTP server lynx can be tricked to write past the boundary of a buffer which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. ---
Of course, at least there's a fix before the exploit on this one.

Slashcode seems to have added some spaces, but you get the picture
Just don't make it drive into the wind!
They need us to love our PCs so we don't throw them out the window out of frustration.

Looks like they accidentaly picked on someone who's got some money. Don't you hate it when that happens?
Of course, with their track record of Neat Ideas vs. Actual Products, (WinFS, etc.) I'm not holding my breath.
I am, however, wishing them luck.
It's cool! We'll just call it beta and don't charge the alleged Terrorists for the interrogation.
I'm happy driving my '94 Ford Probe!
It doesn't mean they should stop making Ferraris and Aston Martins.

OK that leaves about every question unanswered.
At least give us a little bit on how this vulnerability could be exploited other than: This flaw does not require any end user interactionThrow me a friggin bone here! I'm the user... Need the info...
I suppose the important part is they got the scoop!

More like 5 years ago.
Ah!, but if everything was compatible with Macs, would you still use them?

I guess you're safe then. Oh wait..

In the UK wouldn't they call it Big Guv'na?
