If it were in my neighborhood, I might go by and pick one or the other up (if no one beat me to it). I want a lightweight portable to take on the train. Yeah, I'm sure you could just drop by and win one of the laptops. You dolt, these people have been preparing for this contest for the better part of a year, and the Vista and Linux laptops still weren't hacked by the end of day two. I can tell by your posts that you're not that smart, so I have no idea how you think you'd win either of the laptops.
Vista seems to be struggling to get a foothold in the market place. According to who, Slashdot posters? The fact is that there are more people using Vista than all other OSes (aside from XP, of course) combined. Check any marketshare numbers you want, they will confirm this. Despite what the zealots want you to think, Vista is doing just fine.
It seems that Safari is Mac's equivalent of Internet explorer in that it can be a major security problem. Except for the fact that IE7 on Vista has proven that it's not a security problem. Safari is the equivalent of IE5.5, meaning Apple is 8 years behind as far as browser security goes. Microsoft spent those 8 years learning some very tough lessons, while Apple just sat around laughing at Microsoft. Then when Apple decided to make their own browser, they made all of the same mistakes Microsoft did years ago.
This is probably because you need to keep the whole sentence in youre head before you can decode it. From someone who is bashing the intelligence of another poster. Classic.
NPD doesn't need the publicity from the high-def format war. Anyone who is actually in a position to pay the company for their research already knows about them, and probably already pays them. The fect that you didn't know about them doesn't mean anything to them.
I run many IIS6 servers, in both production and development environments. It is definitely fast and memory efficient. I think you missed the memo to get off the IIS bashing train when 6 came out. It's actually a damn good web server, and more secure than Apache 2 to boot!
In one article I read about the practice of penetration testing, the firm doing the testing coordinated with the local police department, so that they would be aware of what was going on.
Because advertisements never contain comany logos? This is a strawman argument, I'm not even going to bother refuting it.
It's an ad. So I guess you consider it an ad when your ISP puts their logo on the bill they send you?
Listen, I am not trying to say that I agree with this practice of inserting content into web pages. I am saying that the content is not an ad. It does not have to be an ad for it to be bad.
Do you honestly think that this ONE reactor is providing all that power? This reactor isn't providing any of that power. It produces medical isotopes, not power.
Please, look into things before you comment. Good advice, you should follow it.
The ISP is clearly partnered with Yahoo, just like AT&T is in the US. So the service is called Rogers Yahoo High Speed Internet. It's not an ad, it's their logo.
Yes, the DirecTV receivers for mobile use have an "Integrated GPS... to automatically enable local channels while in your home designated market area". Cross the area boundary and your TV reception cuts off. The thing about locals on DirecTV is that for the most part, they are spot-beamed. So once you're outside of the boundary area, the actual signal won't be there for much longer either.
Take a look at Photoshop's title bar next time you have it open. It uses the Basic scheme, although it doesn't drop the rest of the system down to Basic like some other programs (Adobe Audition) do.
Vista appears to aim at using more CPU and graphics resources than ever before. While this may give us some pleasing eye candy, and enhanced security (really) for those browsing the web and using e-mail, what does this overhead do to games?
It does absolutely nothing to games. In fact, games will perform better on Vista than they did on XP. Vista basically unloads the GUI and other parts of the OS that are not essential to gaming when a game is started up, so that it can have maximum resources available to it.
I'm quite interested in HD Radio's "bitstreams 4-6 times the size" of satellite. On XM, the average bitrate of a music channel is 40kbps. HD Radio (IBOC) offers a total bitrate of 96kbps per station. So right there, you're nowhere near 4-6 times the bitrate of satellite. Add to that the fact that the HD Radio signal will be split most of the time into two or even three chunks for the HD2 and HD3 streams, and that bandwidth is looking pretty small. Plus, XM isn't working on surround sound, they already have it. It's called XM HD Surround, and it's available on a few channels using receivers with the proper decoder.
So, on an HD Radio station that is not serving up any subchannels, the sound quality can easily blow away satellite. But once you start adding the HD2 and HD3 subchannels to the mix, which most stations will do, the sound quality argument falls apart.

You know what, I have seen this too. I was so confused when I saw it, but I haven't thought about it since. What the hell is the deal?

IE will crash, but your computer will be safe. Firefox won't crash, QuickTime will, and your computer will be owned. Is that really what you prefer?
If they did, most of the games wouldn't be televised!
Do you have any legitimate criticism to offer towards IIS, or are you just trolling?

The malware can't click OK because UAC prompts appear on the Secure Desktop, with the only interaction being with the authorization window.
Actually, the official Vista installer uses an image.
No more so than the company you work for "takes advantage" of you.

Its unuseable.
I'm using it just fine right now.
Oh and they forget that a glasses wearer will also look like a camera
No, they don't. This system detects the CCD in a camera, not the lens. That's why it doesn't work with SLRs.
