While the article makes various allegations that Microsoft is doing this to be bad, the author found out that many device drivers intended for 32 bit windows will break if PAE is enabled.
Negative.
The claim is drivers will break if you have over 4gb ram. PAE is enabled by default on 32 bit Windows because DEP is enabled by default and DEP requires PAE.
Furthermore, there is no proof of drivers affecting Windows if more than 4GB is in use because you can't create an environment to test these claims. The only 'proof' comes from statements from Microsoft.
FTA:
when Microsoft makes out that defective drivers are so widespread and dangerous that 32-bit Windows Vista cannot be allowed to use memory above 4GB even as a configurable option, how is anyone to know the truth of it? Nobody can test even one driver on 32-bit Windows Vista with the licensing data that Microsoft supplies for it.
Actually, SC1 would allow you to spawn clients (5? 6? I forget...) for multiplayer LAN games. Sure, if you wanted Battle.Net or the single player campaigns, you'd need your own copy, but NOT for purely local multiplayer.
"I may not agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" is being replaced with "I do not agree with what you say and I'll sue you to death for my right to suppress it"
Only if MS removes the downgrade ability in their licencing. Buy a Vista Business licence, you are also licenced to install XP Pro on that system or even 2K if you're so inclined (and possibly earlier).
Of course, the Catch-22 involved here is *somehow* you have to get your own XP media.
it works quite well and generally doesn't require the source code.
But here, since it's open source, we don't have to rely on coders in a white tower to patch the code directly or someone to hack an intermediate patch. We can start looking right away.
In dry areas, they can be pretty draconian over what you can do when anything that might result in explosions or fire are involved. One misplaced spark and you've got five square miles and growing of burning kindling that hasn't had control burns in over a decade.
I'd wonder what the laws are on fireworks there, because I'd wager those are outlawed too.
A very unusual project at work required me to make a mono audio jack to RJ11 cable.
My first thought was 'Radio Shack.' I'm digging through the drawers of connectors and the salesman came over and asked if I needed any help. (I was the only one in the store, he was probably bored.) I explained the project and got a blank stare.
I eventually found bits that worked for my purposes (1/4" mono jack, screw down...no soldering iron at work, not that I'd want to risk it in the first place, I'm not that coordinated... and a 1/4" to 1/8" mono jack converter. Incidentally the converter was 3x as much...go fig.) Paid and left.
I couldn't help but think if this was 10, 15 years ago not only would I not have gotten a blank stare, if it was that slow they might have offered to even make it while i was there.
Posting a document marked "private and confidential", which were protected by confidentiality agreements signed by the employees who leaked them (or were obtained by breaking into computer systems or bypassing security systems), believe it or not, is not legally defensible.
If there's a document at GM that proves the Corvette was designed with alien technology, I'll give this one a pass.
I didn't realize we were supposed to take the alien technology bit as serious.
And yes, I completely missed the 'driveway' bit. Honestly, I was a smidge distracted by the alien tech bit.
Now...perhaps if you had gone with 'stolen BMW tech' and we've now got some corporate espionage going on, that might have changed my initial impression, but now we'll never know.
And when a guy stands in the driveway of a GM plant screaming that alien technology is being used to make Corvettes, does that mean it's true because GM refuses to answer questions from him or reporters and then kicks him off the property? Of course not.
But they also don't take him to court and file a gag order against him or issue takedowns. Furthermore, if the guy is on public property and not interfering, they can't really do anything. (Right to free assembly.)
But the point is that buffer gets the jerks out of the way. It is, in fact, the whole reason for the buffer: the jerks don't have to fight there way between other cars to move ahead.

See? If you hired someone to shampoo your carpets you could've spent that time to go to Blizzcon instead.
And then there's the itchy meter reader who, while you're waiting for the ticket to be printed, goes "Oh, no receipt on this car." Ticketed!
Then you have to fight it. Enjoy your court date.
I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He's the number two guy at OCP! OCP runs the cops!
Yeah, when you work out you burn off fat. Bet these women work out more than the average gym member? What are breasts mostly made of?
Makes perfect sense.
With most probes they're pretty compact, small thruster bursts will do a lot.
How do you tack a solar sail though?
So, basically, we shouldn't expect Cassini style precision with this?

We're one step ahead of you, we have dummy users.
Exactly. These are cars with a LOWER chance of rolling over than mine and they take the turn much slower than I do
I can understand someone in an Element taking a left at 20. I've felt like I was going to roll that sucker at that speed.
But in your generic sedan you can take lefts much faster than that, yet many times I'm stuck behind those who for one reason or another, don't.
(producers of the natural ones are Not Happy with this...)
Sellers. Something makes me doubt DeBeers has ever produced a natural diamond.

If you use a rental to bomb a building, how much of the car is left to get the deposit back on?

Or install your own DNS server.
It's about as far back as I can remember...heh.
And ok, maybe in reality they wouldn't have actually made it, but it's the feeling I got from the Radio Shack my dad would take me to.
Stark contrast from the one I went to last week.

Kinda puts the $1.9M Thomas-Harris has to cough up in a strange perspective. There seems to be no rhyme or reason yet to how these get awarded.
No, they suffer from hypochondria. Not some wireless allergy.
And since it's a mental issue, might I suggest a cure of a lobotomy?
