You forget Vancouver is in a different country. The MPAA, RIAA and SWAT teams have no presence here. In addition, the RCMP have stated in the past that they will not be tracking down filesharers. Further still, our privacy laws do not allow ISPs to share subscriber information based only on an IP address.
Way offtopic I know, but I think it's worth clearing up the issue.
This is my thoughts exactly. There is a very definite lack of focus in these protests. That is the reason why they will fail to accomplish anything and why I cannot support them.
Does Microsoft's solution work even over the Internet, when both machines are behind firewalls?
Yes it does. Don't know why you disagree to that.
How about when the machines are running different operating systems (i.e. not Windows)?
works in Macs
Once again, not sure why you are disagreeing since the answer to your question is obviously yes. You didn't ask if it ran on every operating system in the known universe.
Last I heard, half the computers on the planet still run XP.
You might want to update your knowledge. It's less then a third now. The type of person who is running XP is also the type that isn't interested in new technology anyways.
You realize the dev preview is in fact only a preview? It's not a final design in any way. You can expect the final product to be better then the preview for both touch and mouse users.
Wait until RMS starts whining about some obscure encrypted media format which it turns out Windows 8 supports by default. This is nowhere near the sheer stupidity slashdot is capable of.
Considering WP7 is pretty much built around Silverlight I would say those developers fears are unfounded. I wouldn't be surprised at all if existing Silverlight WP7 apps found a way to run on the new Windows 8 UI.
Yes I have, the question is have you? These days RAM is more then capable of moving tens of gigabytes per second. So get your old whiny ass up to date and quit bitching because winamp needs more then 5 MB.

Why would anyone care? How is this front page news?

That's nice, because the vast majority of android users are on old operating systems.

Yes and yes.
That is indeed it. The target machine needs to run vista and later or intel OSX, but doesn't require a browser running constantly.
Microsoft already does this. https://devices.live.com/
You are a true nerd my friend. I salute you.
I have 8 GB in my laptop as well, I start caring when running 3-4 virtual machines. At that point I need every bit of RAM I can get.
The MPAA, RIAA and fair use don't exist in Canada. Please don't assume your laws apply here.
They is one, they call themselves "democrats". Sincerely, The rest of the world.
Page up and down. I don't get why the arrows keys don't work either.
The hilarious part is assuming "Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, location-based-marketing, YouTube, and other technologies" means slashdot.

restrict even the owner of a machine from installing applications not included in the repository
Who said anything about doing that?
$99 per year for access to gcc?
What the fuck are you talking about?

I don't think you understand [Citation Needed].
If you don't care about the market then you don't care about this story. See ya.
Cool links to back up your trolling bro.
The point is that high bandwidth does not guarantee low latency in any way.
Which is on the order of nanoseconds. Try again.
There is this wonderful technology called virtual machines. You should try it out.
