News Corp also owns The Australian, really the only national newspaper and also the Courier Mail, the only real daily in Queensland (my state), so I've pretty much no alternative.
I'm not entirely sure of what the problem is here but it seems to be that The Guide has inaccurate listings? If that's the case, can't you just enter a region that isn't supported in TV signal setup (e.g. Australia) and then it will do a manual scan to find the channels that are broadcast in your area? This is what I have to do because here in Australia TV listings are copyrighted and thus The Guide doesn't have them since they'd need to license them. Media Center strips the programming data from the broadcasts and fills the guide with that, I'm not sure if that would be supported by stations everywhere though.
Christ, that was difficult. I suppose it also could've been "E-3 visa, a non-immigrant visa allowing Australian citizens to live and work in the United States", among other things, but it seems like the most obvious one given the context of the summary.
It's hard to believe you've never heard of it though... Your UID is lower than mine so you've been around on/. for several years; even back when E3 was huge, before they scaled it back.
I realise that you're talking about the US, but here in Queensland, Australia, the police do have the right to ask for your name and address and for proof of that if they catch you committing an offence, reasonably suspect that you've committed an offence or if they reasonably suspect you may be able to help in an investigation. If you disobey, you can be charge with an offence under s 791 of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act. It's a defence to prove that you wouldn't have been able to help with the investigation (or committed an offence), but that would be difficult to prove and in the mean time you have gone through the court system.
I don't work full time and my part time job is just down the road from me, so I drive there, but I go to university too.
I drive 10 Km to a shopping center and catch a bus that goes direct to uni. Petrol costs me a little under a dollar each way and the bus costs $1.16 each way, so it costs me $4 round trip.
If I were to drive I'd have to pay around $3-4 in petrol along with $4 for the cheapest daily parking at uni (there are multiple zones).
Driving in the middle of the day would take me about 30 mins (including parking), while driving to the bus takes 15 mins and then 20 mins on the bus, plus up to 10 mins of waiting, so I'd save a bit of time driving in. However, in peak hour, driving in or home would take anywhere between 40 mins to an hour and the bus would take 5 or 10 mins more (it uses bus only lanes and a special "Busway"). When an upgrade to the Busway is completed hopefully this year or early next then the bus will probably take less time than driving in off peak as well as peak, as well as saving me $4 a day.
What? You wuss. Huntsman spiders are cute.
When we get one in the house I get a bit of paper and take it outside. They're fairly harmless (they are venomous but not very) and they eat annoying bugs and insects.
Violation sounds a bit violent. I'm a fan of NIN, Closer was my favourite song for a while, so I'm no puritan, I just think that's how Apple would classify it.
I'm guessing the problem with Downward Spiral is that it has the song "Closer" on it, which contains the lyrics
"You let me penetrate you... You let me violate you" and "I want to fuck you like an animal"
I don't think that would help much in this situation, I think "You let me penetrate you... You let me violate you" and "I want to fuck you like an animal" would fall within the "overly sexual/ violent" category.
Also, it seems quite likely to me that running an application in XPM would require user intervention, like running in compatibility mode currently does, and I'd bet it'll require a UAC prompt to confirm it, so XP viruses should have a hard time getting in, they'd have to pass the first UAC that regular ones do and then another to run in XPM, if there is a way for an application to run itself in XPM mode at all, which there shouldn't be for just this reason.
They are, it's in the full article, they want people to either to a fresh install or upgrade from Vista, the two real world situations that will apply to the retail release.

No, Mac users just use their free, built in TV tuner software that updates TV listings from a free online service... Oh wait.

You can't pirate much with 150 MB, that's what the session limit is here in Australia (up & down).

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. I don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you should specify a system of measurement.

No - a more accurate analogy would be Microsoft not allowing Firefox links on microsoft.com.

I don't want to love, you
I just want to fuck, you
You should bring your friends, through
I'll fuck you and them, too

Superannuation - mandatory retirement/investment funds to which employers are required to make contributions.
Windows 7 can run perhaps 99% of XP compatible apps and has XPM for that 1% that simply have no alternative. Ubuntu can run how many XP apps natively?
Also, it seems quite likely to me that running an application in XPM would require user intervention, like running in compatibility mode currently does, and I'd bet it'll require a UAC prompt to confirm it, so XP viruses should have a hard time getting in, they'd have to pass the first UAC that regular ones do and then another to run in XPM, if there is a way for an application to run itself in XPM mode at all, which there shouldn't be for just this reason.
Shit forgot to post anonymously, woops.
