A lot of builds for 7 go on internally that aren't released to the public as Betas or RCs. Most of them have been leaked to BitTorrent. I can promise you that there's a newer build number available after 7100.
While you may be right, this is also the first public beta of a Windows operating system (that I'm aware of). I was in the Vista beta, and there were several Beta versions (instead of just Beta 1) and even several Release Candidates (instead of just RC1) before Vista came out. It seems Microsoft is fast-tracking it's release. And before anyone says this is a bad thing, they had a lot of time to iron out the bugs with Vista (more or less the base of Win7) so they shouldn't need AS much time to get 7 out the door, even properly.
That's silly, and very wrong. Both my Motorola phones charged fine over USB (with the drivers installed, but Moto does that on all their phones), the only one I had was a VX9800 that wouldn't charge over the USB adapter. It's more likely that it just doesn't support it for whatever stupid reason, other than blaming Verizon.
Part of the reason they behave this way is simply for performance reasons - Most guns are 'tracers', where they throw a trace line towards the next thing they'll hit, and cause it damage, along with playing animations and sounds and such. Converting each bullet fired into a tangible physics object would be a lot of processing work. Also, many games implement spraying so the bullets never actually go straight.
I wish more games supported physics like that (though I get the feeling prebuilt systems like Havok don't). The Goldsource (original HL) and Source Engine (HL2 and beyond) do support different levels of gravity (Zen in HL is a good example) but Valve hasn't used it in a single player game since then.
And now that you bring that up, it made me curious. I just checked, and the iPhone OS 3.0 does support pasting into password fields, including the WPA passphrase field! You could now type it up in the Notes program (or any other text field, but whatever), copy and paste it, then delete the note. (Well, now you can, anyway)
Apparently it'll cost you infinity dollars, since there is no Vista Home or Professional editions, and upgrading in place doesn't change anything about the base install to make it not support hardware or run slower. This comment is in place of modding you troll. Nice try.
If you're stupid enough to think that your Windows installation is going to be automatically assimilated by a botnet (or you're stupid enough to let it happen), then you're probably stupid enough to let it happen on Linux, too.
Do you really think Nintendo is the only company that does this? Strangely enough I get the feeling Sony would allow it (since they let you run Linux on the PS3, and have released Linux for the PS2) but I highly doubt Microsoft would either (for the same reasons as Nintendo, not because they're, well, Microsoft)
The fact of what it's based off of is irrelevant, everything comes down to the metric system being consistent in staying in base 10, and the imperial system is not.

There are people who live in the US that you wouldn't be able to pay to live in San Francisco.
And XP is 5.1. It's just a number to deal with crappy program version number compatibility.

Yes.

I think you're looking for UNetbootin.

It was roaming outside of the country, so it's not that bad, considering how much voice minutes are, too.
But it was written on paper! If it had been posted on the internet first, then nobody would have believed it.
A whole fracking planet
Woah, woah, no need to go there again!

As far as I'm aware, the "upgrade" editions all work (license-wise) from XP and Vista, no matter the edition.
If you're stupid enough to think that your Windows installation is going to be automatically assimilated by a botnet (or you're stupid enough to let it happen), then you're probably stupid enough to let it happen on Linux, too.
Yes, the Professional edition comes with XP mode.

Pirating: You're doing it wrong.
Actually I don't drink or go to bars, so I wouldn't know either way.

What? You don't sign at compile-time, you sign the package after.
Do you really think drunk people are going to be able to convert the units? (Or want to?)

Won't someone think of the ducks!
But my Blu-Ray drive can also play HD-DVDs :(
