"Modular" is a tenet of good programming; it's not a dirty word. Modularity in the various Windows operating systems isn't nearly as much a problem as bloat.
Besides, this isn't about programming practises or about providing something that the customer has asked for. This is a new attack vector in MS's ongoing battle against piracy. The more the product shifts to online management and control, the easier it is for MS to cut loose individuals or organizations (or countries...) that it suspects are not fulfilling their subscription requirements. It also lets them offer value packages that have the same core OS without gimping the product.
I don't like this development, but MS is going to go this way regardless of what the customer wants.
The onus is on Georgia and Louisiana to each "grow one" -- given that they are adjacent to Florida, the state widely recognized by geographers as "America's Wang."
Try cutting back on your maximum number of connections. There's no rule to this, but I seem to be most successful on the Rogers network with a value in the vicinity of 80-120. (I've heard the case argued for even lower, but this seems to be my local "sweet spot.") I promise never to mention my "sweet spot" again.
If this setting is too high, you're right: it probably sets off the warning bells. I'm sure that there are a many ill-informed users that think allowing connections to 1000 other systems could only possibly speed up their transfers.
Does this produce ozone? -- because that would be bad.
The article seems to imply that the "wind" has a neutral charge, but that's generally not how ionic wind works. (Molecules with a charge are pushed away from a like-charged surface).
I'm on Rogers, and it works for me. If there are sufficient seeders and peers, I regularly get up to 600 KB / sec on regular high-speed, up from 20 KB / sec without.
Make sure you're using a non-standard port. Also, don't force encryption, just enable it. That will net you encrypted traffic + whatever low level of throttled traffic your ISP allows.
Cars in 50 years will be lightweight with a high clearance, relatively narrow large wheels. So, in 50 years, nobody north of Tennessee will leave their houses in the winter? Drivers up north already have a pretty bad go of it in snow & ice with low clearance, relatively wide and small tires.
It isn't necessarily a different model; it just depends on your contract. I know photographers who are more than happy to put their "raw" digital files on CD or DVD for a nominal convenience fee.
Similarly, I've taken programming contracts where I negotiated to keep the rights to my source code -- this is not at all unusual. If the client wants any modifications to be done to their software, it has to be done through me. Also, I'm free to re-use parts or the whole of my code in future contracts to other customers.
I suggest you negotiate the digital files into your "contract." Part of the negotiation can be suggesting another studio that *will* give you the digital versions of your photos. Barring that -- and this is on sketchy legal grounds, but I'm assuming you're only doing this for private use -- go find a high-quality scanner and make your own digital copies.
We Canadians demand full compensation for the taxes that we pay for blank media. Otherwise, we will be forced to dump every last frickin blank CD into the Boston Harbour... er... *cough* Hudson Bay.
Look up any list of "top" stolen cars. See: Civic, Camry, Accord. These are all abundant, popular vehicles with standard theft-deterrent devices, but that can easily be sold or cannibalized for parts on the black market. Nobody steals the easy vehicles such as old beaters, tractors, and idling delivery vans because they have little market demand, hence value. Virtual crime is not concerned with "resale" potential -- the car analogy is broken.
According to Microsoft, the 50% improvement is noticed when copying from a remote SP1 system to a local SP1 system. Local copying has improved by "only" 25%.
You'll see it next time you log in. The post has been linked to your taskbar, start menu, quicklaunch, desktop icon, will start with Windows, will integrate with your browser, and has already claimed default association with all known filetypes.
If you continue the analogy, at $1.5M apiece, all CDs on the shelves of major retailers in the US alone have a larger net value than all the money in the world. (That'd be somewhere around the $50T mark).
Vista isn't anywhere near the catastrophe-level awfulness of Me. Me wasn't a speedbump; it was a brick wall. Vista has its oddities, flaws, and poor design choices, but at least it can run for more than 30 minutes without BSODing.
I hope your analogy holds true for the next generation. MS OSes seem to follow the Star Trek film sequence: every other one sucks.

Ever since I started roleplaying, I've had
+2 to Intelligence and
-1 to Charisma.
One of mine proved it. I was taught by "the missing link."
Your motto is "I was just going to post that, but you beat me to it?"
:D
You'll never make first post with a mantra like that.
Remember the Alamo? Obviously not.

My marketing firm can spin that down to 4 out of 1, if the price is right.

I feel sorry for the "cheese cows."
That's no island...
We will give the CDs to elderly Eskimos when we set them adrift on ice floes.

Parent is completely wrong.

No. Violent eruptions and methane gas means that we may yet discover intelligent life in the White House.
That's the last time I courier sensitive terrorist data over the border via laptop. If only there was a way to send this data electronically...
