The Common Criteria configuration of Windows XP disables 56 unneeded services. However, the process list only shows 37 after the default install. So Windows is running a huge heap of shit that most people don't even know is running and which are impossible to stop by normal means.
So, how did your friend disable all those things???
The designer who decided to make a single 'Control, Alternate, Delete' key, should have selected the 'Retry' option - instead, he ended up with a 'Fail' action. Stupid idiot.
All these juvenile delinquent pirates should be incarcerated in Alcatraz. What is the world coming to? I thought pirates are nesting in Madagascar, now they hide out in US universities? Bah, humbug...
Hmm, I think these juvenile delinquent pirates should be removed from society and locked up. The USA should re-open Alcatraz. Society must be protected against this scourge.
Here in Calgary, all popular music stations are playing mostly oldies from long ago.
Every few years, one tries to play new stuff and ends up losing all their listeners - so it looks like they have learned their lesson now and just carry on playing old rock 'n roll and ignore most of the new crappy stuff.
Unfortunately the RIAA members still haven't learned that they have to find groups that play music that people actually like to listen to - gee, what a radical idea...
All space exploration will now come to grinding halt, as it descends into the abyss of red tape and never ending meetings. Space exploration will only accelerate if there is some competition - this move eliminates competition.
Good idea, you can get lion poop (sold as Zoo Poo) at the Pretoria zoo in South Africa. It is commonly used to keep dogs out of flower beds. However, naphtalene moth balls work just as well in flower beds and may be easier to explain when found in your luggage than Zoo Poo...
This is probably to catch 'round tripping' tax avoidance. This technique was accidentally discovered by Sir Richard Branson when he started Virgin Media. Basically what he did, was to export discs to France with faulty paperwork or something, have it refused entry, then he turned around and drove back to Britain. Since the stuff was officially exported, he somehow scored on the VAT when he subsequently sold them in his UK shops. Eventually he got caught though, once he got too brazen about it.
Apple sells hardware and software. MS sells mostly software. Comparing their income is a bit skewed, but still quite revealing especially when you consider that Apple turned around some years ago with a low of 2 billion in yearly revenue.
"In the final quarter of 2007, Apple earned $7.1 billion in revenue, compared to Microsoft's $12.5 billion in total revenue." Someone discovered the secret of time travel.
My experience with cardiac arrest is that the victim will gasp for air as soon as blood flow is re-established. So just focusing on compressions is probably good enough for people collapsing on dry land - they will breathe on their own every once in a while. Drowning is different - you have to get air in and water out and usually drowning victims are young and have good hearts - old people don't usually go swimming.
In my own humble experience, a person with heart failure will gasp and breathe as soon as blood flow is established.
With a drowning victim it is the other way around - their hearts are OK, but their lungs are full of water, so getting them to breathe/cough/drain is more important - their hearts will beat OK.
So, some intelligence is required. You have to analyze the situation, not just start full resussitation if you don't know what/why you are doing it.

This is a Liberal bill and the author wishes to peg it on the Conservatives?
Well, duh...

Why? It works for the RIAA and for SCO - uhhh, well...
I guess having a single button is more appropriate after all.

One third of Americans are actually sensible...
Harddrive full to the last byte? Next time use partmon. It has been around for many a year.
I thought that the CC already applies to all government desktop systems?
The USA is officially in a limited state of emergency, so this is not normal.
Concerts used to be recorded live on vinyl and records sold at the door when the crowd exit.
Yes, I am that old...

No you are confusing dogs with mice. Mice experimented upon, develop cancer.
If it was GPL, then we all could have benefitted from it, not just Google.

done with sheep! (The Scottish version) -- With apologies to ACDC.
Well, at least the dogs should not get addicted to plastics, like the drug sniffing dogs...

Hmm, well, I have done it once and it worked - so 100% success rate in my experience...
