If Quantum Computers are a scientific impossibility, where does that leave us? There is only so much that current architectures can do. Does that mean we will hit the performance barrier and never be able to break through?
how would they control the inner geek urge to hack EVERYTHING?
commanding officer: "Dammit, someone emptied my bank account - AGAIN!" second in command: "It's those cyber warfare officers, sir, they keep hacking anything connected to the network" CO: "WELL COMMAND THEM TO STOP DOING IT!" SCO: "I can't sir, the rerouted all communications through a local brothel..."
Things like these make the world sit up and realize that geeks and nerds have so much to contribute to society. Leave us to our pirated warez - we gave you teh Thermal Sub!
Rather than attempting to come up with any further new ideas (something I'm not certain Microsoft has really been interested in for a while now), they just seem to want to buy enough bits and pieces of the industry to increase their foothold.
Or threatening to sue for "patent infringement" like they did with several linux distros, Mark Shuttleworth gave them the finger...
Really, I read the/. and thought - nothing. It doesn't surprise me one bit. An MS program that works well and as intended - now THAT I'd find surprising...
Well the average Windows install doesn't recognize an EXT3 filesystem (as a for instance, most Linux filesystems aren't "seen" from windows) so partitioning the drive with a windows and linux partition should be fine, then use these drives for multiple backup mirrors via a small linux apache server...
You could secure them with passwords and so on.
Oh go ahead and poke flaming holes in my suggestion *buries face in hands and sobs*

Byebye Star Trek future... *sobs*
HAHA! I copyrighted mine! And since there is a great similarity in our brain structure - you, sir, are being sued for copyright infringement!
And so it begins...
For once the crazies lost a case!
Can I make my spore avoid the whole Microsoft debacle during their evolution?
Nah, don't need it. I speak Engrish good.
I was just about to comment on how the words "war with China" is worrying enough in and of itself. Why say things like that?
Also, China has enough cash on hand to send the US economy into a deep recession, thereby ruining the country before any other steps are taken...

Oh, and they sent me the disks. For free. Best value for money upgrade I ever had.

You're crazy.
Oh how I wish to live where free wifi is common! Here, even if you visit a coffee shop its a paid for service, or with a 10mb cap...
sigh

Thats exactly what I thought, and no I am not joking.
I hate it when non tech people underestimate us... hokay, time to teach them a lesson... oh wait, Piratebay is already doing that...
No. Because tech guys work for the "other side"
Yes, but splashing "MORE VULNERABLE" on a headline preys better on the fears of the uninformed than "DIFFERENTLY VULNERABLE"
We all know headlines exist solely to generate traffic...
You forgot to add "Your idea will be patented by someone else and you will be sued into oblivion" under reasons this won't work...
I KNEW bootlegging would prove helpful to the artist/recording studios one day! Take THAT! ...and that... and that...

Maybe those C_a_n_a_d_i_a_n Pharmacies selling V1a-gra can start using this technology so that I can finally know the stuff is ligit!
Your scenario sound like a potential "Law and Order" mistrial plot... or a funny "Monk" episode...
And the answer would invariably be: "Yes it is ugly, but does it run Linux?"
Welcome to that which the US was fighting against in the cold war.
WELCOME TO THE CCCP COMRADES!
Yet another reason why I am running no MS products...
