Ever consider that every virus infection stopped by anyone, target or not, could cut down on the bandwidth sucked away from all of us by the ever increasing botnets?
What about infected files that don't originate on your systems but are passed through it? If you send out an infected file, the recipient won't care where you think you got it, or how much you feel that it isn't your problem, you're the one who infected them.
You can piss and moan about trash on the sidewalk or you can just pick it up.
One obvious giveaway is that when people scratch Discs through wear and tear (abuse) the scratches tend to appear at random on the surface, and usually in substantial numbers.
When a drive scratches a disc, it usually does so in a circular pattern. You'd see it sometimes in old CD-Roms that would open the tray when you hit the button, regardless of whether the disc had spun down or not, and the disc would still be spinning while laying on the surface of the tray.
You'd have a hard time _accidentally_ duplicating a scratch in a smooth arc or in a circle.
I wonder if it's a question of heat warping the disc slightly, causing something in the drive to come into contact with it. I used to have a cdrom that would run so hot that CDR discs would come out with the outside edge actually "curled up" slightly. They'd flatten back out fairly quickly if you left them out of the drive with no permanent damage. Since they curled up, they'd eventually have read errors and tracking issues, but I'd imagine if they warped unevenly or the edge pulled down, you'd see some similar marks on the disks.
Wouldn't it make more sense to Court Martial the dipshit behind the memos?
How is his inability to work editing and change tracking the fault of MS? I've never had changes bite me in the ass, instead I learned to use the feature correctly. The truly incompetent can even keep a PUBLIC version of the file maintained without change tracking.
By all means flame-on, as this is clearly a case where F/OSS is a better solution.

You do realize that Intel CPUs are 64bit too now (like since 05), right?
The download choice for Ubuntu actually says "64bit AMD and Intel computers"

That would depend on the state law. Most states only require one person to be aware that the call is being recorded. Only 12 require that all parties be aware of the recording.
Also I recall someone taping a Customer Service call to AOL (iirc) and noting that the automated system said "Your call may be monitored or recorded, etc, etc" the obvious inference being recorded by AOL, but not explicitly stated that way, and could easily be taken as granting permission to record the call. Maybe they had a disclaimer on their recorded message too.
It doesn't say it won't work in a VM, it says you will be breaking the EULA if you do it. It also doesn't say it breaks the EULA if you use Bootcamp, just a VM. This also applies to Vmware and VirtualPC in Windows.
This sort of information is hidden in 'the articles'... Shhhh! Don't tell anyone!
Well, you do have to take St. John with a grain of salt... and I sincerely doubt he has any friends left at Microsoft.
He is (was?) a regular columnist for CPU magazine, and his articles fall cleanly into 2 categories:
1) Why doesn't anyone ask me what's wrong with Microsoft? I'll tell you anyway... 2) Why does everyone hate something as awesome as Wild Tangent, since it's clearly the superior delivery system for $10 games of amazing flash-based quality? It's a vast Antivirus-Wing Conspiracy!
Then when people ask why he only writes about those two things, he gets all defensive saying it's basically all he knows which makes him an expert... and that must be what people want to hear over and over again. He is the reason I stopped reading CPU. (Well, him and a plummeting interest in micron-level video card schematics.)
I was given the choice between paper and electronic when I walked in last November (Virginia.)

Why not put this system in planes people might fly in?
SP3 is in late alpha, scheduled be released later this year with Vista's SP1.
Too bad NASA doesn't have access to any Rocket Scientists.
Maybe they could find some way to overcome whatever this treacherous material is that they've codenamed: "Styrofoam."
Although the new cameras do give us much nicer pictures of the things they decided were too hard to fix.

Wow. You're one old-school troll.
FWIW though, 90% Market share says you're wrong.

Think this'll also cover those asshats who ride around with the car stereo so loud the trim is vibrating off their little $12,000 import?

Sounds like public performance to me.
Hell, I've even got a nice shady tree out front that the licensing company guy can sit under while he's filling out the paperwork.
Whether you need them or not.
