Exactly my thoughts. I run utorrent all the time, and I suspect that if I left my computer on for months at a time it would never reach 10 MB of ram.
Now if only they had a Linux version, I would try leaving it on my sever 24/365. (On the other hand, if it was open source, I know C++, and could modify/compile my own version for Linux. If it's clean code.)
Most new laptops have webcams. And, how do you know that "muting" the mic will actually work? If I were Big Brother, I would definatly circumvent that.
BTW: I just called M$ not on;y do you have to listen to their startup sound, You will also have to have a webcam and a mic attached for your computer to work. Have a nice day!
Thank you, I genrally play games to have opportunities to do things that I enjoy. If I have to be watching my (real world) back for the things I do in a game, I might as well do them in the real world, where the rewards for success are much greater.
Besides which, it's interesting to see how people respond to these sorts of things, since they are illeagal in the real world. Obviously, people can't watchout for themselves, since they obviously contributed to this scheme.
It's interesting, these people wouldn't complain if they were the ones getting rich, but if someone else is getting rich, watch out! Grow up, get a life, get a girlfriend, turn of your computer, and learn REAL pain and loss.
Or if thats too hard for you, at least play a single player game, not a MMORG.
Exactly, If you don't like incompatibilities, don't use extensions, don't update, use opera or use ie. I am currently beta testing, and can't use some of my favorite extensions. So what, I learning to cope. ( In fact, some of these extensions are part of FF2b2 which means I don't need them, and that other extensions must be sure to be compatible with these standardized extensions, rather than saying, well, uninstall the conflicting extension.)
You can load more than 4gig on a computer. I know Windows combined limit used to be 4gig ram + virtual, but I didn't ever encounter a limit on any other OS. But I've never seen a motherboard capable of handling more than 4 gig of ram.
Well I bought a printer that needed drivers installed to work in XP, whereas ubuntu had a compatible driver pre-installed. hmmm..., BTW: this was an HP printer, not some silly off brand.
I have to say, I laughed my pants off.
I don't think people focus on the positive on/. so, Thank You.
(BTW: Is it ok if I sing these lyrics? I don't want to get sued.
actually, that is true, in a sense. More and more people on the internet are going to start using services like this, and companies that resist will eventually pay the price.
What about metal? The simple solution is to have that ability to shut the safety off, but make it a button that resets itself each time the blade stops or that must be held down to prevent the safety being left off.
However I sense a bigger issue, one more difficult to resolve. He wants a 8% royalty on all products using this tech. Kinda ridiculous, especially if it becomes mandatory to include this tech on new equipment. What's wrong with.08% or even.8%. But 8%!!! Sounds like your typical lawyer, just looking to make money, not save lives. Lower royalty, and some companies may have already adopted it, forcing other companies to join the group to keep up.
(Maybe there is more to this story that we aren't hearing about. Just a thought.)
OK, I use a Ethernet cable to plug in my laptop at home. The only time I use wireless is for Internet away from home, and for a mouse on my home computer. BTW don't even suggest that the mouse is a security hazard, it's infrared, and it's connected to a Linux box.
Well make up your mind in your post. Either you like grub or you don't.
I have had issues with grub before. I fixed them. (eventually) If you don't like it, post your suggestions. I like hearing others opinions, but a rant is not an opnion worthy of hearing in my book.
So, post your problem and ask for a solution. But until YOU have another solution, don't bash the one that works for 85% of everyone else.

Use KeePass. Pretty good UI, Open Source, Free, Linux Windows and Mac, I haven't found a downside yet.

Please note that it also does this at a distance.

Thank you, that clears up a lot. Wish I had some mod points.

If the wireless hardware is compatible with the drivers available under Linux. Sorry, I don't think M$ made that mistake.

Maybe we should just get faster software.
That makes perfect sense to me. If I had mod points, I'd give you one. BTW: What would the influence of easily remembered domain names be?
as well as money for a shovel.
good I'm not the only one to find that funny

Dang you, now I have to get one of these. (and GPS) Hang on, wait a minute.... (MOM! Do I have a science fair project this year?)

Tell that to my last three keyboards.

I would like to attend this. Would you?

Sure I can, but can everyone in the computer illeterate world deal with it. That is the question.
They have one in Sweden. Anyone want to form a new party in the US? (Or elsewhere as well)
