...I do honestly think that Windows should protect such vital files at all cost - including against Administrator level process (e.g. a prompt "you dumbass - are you sure?" will do).
If Yahoo! wants to gain credibility for their QA section, they need to introduce paid overseers that cross-check answers (and each other) and with the authority to add red ink comments inside other people's answers, axe payments to those who give wrong answers, and give a Yahoo! paid bonus to those who give extremely good answers.
Unfortunately, without the proper checks and balances (or at least checks), this will suffer from the same problems that Wikipedia does: bias. If I happen to think apples are better than oranges, I might mark answers to questions about oranges down because they aren't critical of oranges..
but is putting them behind bars really a fitting punishment? Yes, they're highly annoying and may even have done some damage depending on their use of botnets and the like, but isn't the whole reason to have a prison to keep DANGEROUS people away from society? I'd sure as hell want a serial killer in there rather than just a spammer. And then there's the argument that prison isn't an effective punishment, but that's beside the point...
All too often, I have seen games where the level design consisted of the following cliche decisions. Level 1 should be garden-themed, level 3 should let you swim (if you're ever allowed to swim), level 4 should be slippery ice, level 6 should be raging lava which kill you if you touch it, and level 8 should be a screwed-up-gravity level that lets you walk on the ceilings or reorient yourself in space.
I went to install Tribes 2 server on a remote Debian box. The installer didn't work, naturally (segmentation fault...). I poked around in the.run package (something a normal user wouldn't do), and I figured out that it required glibc 2.1. Guessing that it was choking on 2.2, I asked in #debian if I could install it for compatibility purposes in Debian Etch, to which I was told that it probably wasn't possible on Etch. I ended up just running it in Wine (don't get me started on the problems I've had with Wine...).

Attention, Groening. We are reasonably satisfied with the events we have seen. Overall I would rate it a C+. OK, not great. As a result, we will not destroy your planet, but neither will we provide you with our recipe for immortality.
"If somebody performs an activity which may be considered criminal, it is in the first instance his own country which is able to exercise jurisdiction," Dr. von der Dunk added.
My guess is that it would depend on what you're developing. With desktop computers powerful enough to run a virtual machine with a -complete- operating system inside of it, INCLUDING the benefits of things such as snapshots, requiring high-level privileges on a machine might not be required anymore.
They don't really go into details about it, but this might be something in the NIC chip or something else ingeniously specific to the hardware. They probably don't want to give out details as this was the only way to catch and stop this kind of outfit.
When I got my Dell laptop in 2005, it was loaded with a little thing called Computrace. In the BIOS, it can be set either "permenantly" disabled or enabled (the default is a disable value in between); no software required. AFAIK, I needed to actually subscribe to the service for it to work, but it was there nonetheless as a kind of "computer lojack", if you will.
I can't listen to my Deftones - Adrenaline CD, because it has a few minor scratches that mess up each and every track on the CD rendering it completely and utterly useless
You can do what I do with -every- CD I buy: immediately make a 1:1 copy and throw the original into storage. That way, you can treat the copy like shit as much as you like. If it manages to become unusable to you, throw it out/recycle it and make a new copy.
My wild guess is that they're testing the patch. Remember that it's going to be deployed to many thousands, tens of thousands, however many systems, so they gotta make sure it works. Otherwise, there'll be a lot hosed boxes.
Of course, that could indeed not be the case at all...
"At the Enrichment Center, we believe that a highly-motivated test subject and carry out rather complex tasks while enduring the most intense pain, so in case you don't make it through the testing...goodbye!"
It actually means that the story is published (or almost published), but only subscribers can see it. Sometimes the first poster uses it for humour (in this case, they might make a quip about nVidia video cards).
Also added in this release is the new b43 driver. I've been waiting for a long time for this, since my BCM4318 doesn't work with the bcm43xx driver. Unfortunately, unless the driver can be backported to.22, I'm stuck with ndiswrapper (I'm on CentOS, and the Fedora 2.6.23 package wants a bunch of updated core packages like nash).
...if no one else asked it yet. (I got this one from someone else, kudos to whoever it was) You've been CmdrTaco for years now...isn't it about time you got promoted?

I guess some of the moderators don't get it.

It looks like they had a number of different types of content before settling.

Adobe had a HTML editor/designer before Dreamweaver.
You're telling me that Bender bribed his way into the space pirate ship? (hint: that part isn't mentioned in Wikipedia, but that's the episode)
Believe it or not, Dell's server hardware and support is worlds better than their "consumer-grade" products and support.

And if it's base-1, no one calls it anything?

The world needs more change like this.
