Did they actually stop blocking port 80? I know they did after they converted from @Home, it's one of the things that's been keeping me from switching (other than poor service in my area, and now this, of course)
Unfortunately, as good an idea as that is, a lot of sites legitimately put their scripts on other domains. I know a few big ones that serve their static content from services like Akamai, that are on Akamai's domains instead of remapping it to a subdomain. Also it would impact services like Google's AJAX provider (they host the APIs of scripts like jQuery to save you bandwidth), or even site-integrated Google Maps for that matter, which are both hosted on Google's servers.
At least for Vista, all the different versions came on one DVD, but there was a 32-bit and a 64-bit DVD separate. As far as I'm aware, they can't anyway, because the boot environment either has to be 32-bit or 64-bit, and stay that way.
64-bit is the way of the future -- on the desktop. I hope we see more 64-bit retail desktops in the market soon, I know I've seen a few higher end machines come standard with 64-bit Vista.
However, 32-bit isn't going anywhere anytime soon, even with the newer operating systems. All of the netbooks being released right now are only 32-bit, and I do love running the Windows 7 beta on my Eee.
There's money to be made selling 32-vs-64 bit editions? You are aware that if you buy 32-bit Vista, you can get the 64-bit version from Microsoft for free? The CD keys work on both.
I would group their distributions into 'Windows' and 'Windows Server'. Vista is just the next version past XP, and 'Ultimate', 'Business', etc. all come on the same disc, you're just buying the license to tell it which features to give you. Same with Server 2008. They're marketed separately, but they're not different at the media/installation level. XP did actually have different physical media, but it was much of the same thing.
If you want to be technical, I know with Vista all of those come on one DVD, you're just buying the license for the different versions. I can't say the same about Server 2008 but I would assume it's close, too.
I think the 'household member' works by letting other Amazon accounts use your Prime shipping as long as the delivery address is your home address. I don't think they can ship to other addresses like the Prime account holder can.
Unfortunately when you cancel your service like this, you lose your phone number. The only way to transfer your number (as far as I know) if you're in contract is to actually pay your ETF. As someone stated in an earlier comment, by refusing the changes in the contract, Sprint is canceling the contract instead of you, so you don't have to pay the ETF. To transfer your number, you'd have to cancel the account normally through the number transfer process.
Except rather than being criminals, until recently, iTunes customers were actually prisoners, tethered to iTunes and their iPods to play their purchased music. Fortunately with everything going iTunes Plus, this is getting to be no longer the case.

Cry about it because they have a monopoly over cable internet service in your area and you can't get DSL?

I think the dynamic part of DHTML would get in the way of converting it to static content.

You signed it.
I think there's a difference, here.
they love Flash because they don't have to code the page differently for different browsers.
So instead they use Flash, which is -guaranteed- not to work in all browsers, especially mobile ones?
Indeed this has been known for ages. I'm surprised it's made it to the front page of /.

If you like setting up video transcoding from the command line, more power to you, I guess!
They don't offer an ISO for download? (I don't know the retail process for Vista, I got my copy through the beta)
Despite the hard drive being horrendously large for a machine its size, I don't put a lot on them, so backup and format is quick.

It would have the effect of all existing Windows software not working anymore.

So if I build four new computers and start to run them constantly for folding, the police are going to come bust down my door thinking I'm growing?
