I never cared enough to pay attention, but I know they had a warrant at one point, to examine his genitalia... maybe that search was thrown out of court. I find it IMPOSSIBLE to believe that they fou ...

As far as I'm concerned, they're still paying for giving Office and IE greater control over previous OSs. (I have no clue if they are still doing that.)
It is a bit puzzling to me, that they're go ...
So how much goes to the RIAA's offended Artists? on Jammie Thomas Asks Judge to Throw Out "Monstrous" Verdict

I'd be more worried about her, if she hadn't tried to hide the file sharing. I don't know exactly what the time line is/was, but I felt I had lots of warning to stop Sharing, myself.

I gave up on IE, when 7 came out... massively bigger & working no better for me than the previous ver. The large number of patches is not encouraging, either.
I dunno, maybe it's all because I'm s ...
I can't help wondering if the Patches will be the same deal... on Analyst Says Windows 7 is Not Affordable Enough
Posted 06/30/2009 at 10:24:43pm
The full list to patch one of my WinXP sp1 PC's (from a fresh re-install) is 4-5 Gigabytes.
I think I'd be really ticked off, if I paid $120 for 7, then it took them 12-18 months to roll out enough ...
Finally, they say exactly what they mean... on MPAA: Making a Single Backup Copy of a DVD is Illegal

Of course, it took a Judge asking them the question, in a legal proceeding, to get a direct answer.

I doubt anyone here is a Fan of DRM --but at the same time how many of us have violated copyright 4 times or more, for one product?

Photo-realistic is not a priority, to me on Epic: Photo-Realistic Graphics Still 10-15 Years out of Reach
Posted 05/27/2009 at 12:52:56pm
I'd rather see excellent path-finding, smart AI (so npcs don't have to use "cheats"), and innovative use of multiplayer, than photo-realism. I guess of all of these, the AI will be the very last we g ...

I have to agree with Tom, as well...I live in a "rural" area. All of my stations come from 70 miles or so away, except for one --which is 120 degrees in another direction, but only 50 miles ...

Didn't China already announce they were going to dev their own OS?
You'd think they'd get together on this type of thing, but I guess China & Cuba aren't famous for getting along with anyone (much ...

I do think "Vista Capable" should mean the buyer can should be able to choose the upgraded software ver. on that same hardware. They had no problem breaking the OS into 3 different types ...
It depends on what kind of terms he used in his complaining... on Man Posts Negative Yelp Review, Gets Sued

Ironically, simple flaming, laced with swear words would probably not have had any reaction, just because everyone would ignore it. (Maybe the site wouldn't allow that.)There is a very basic reason ...

If they're throwing documentation away, it sounds like they place no value on the paperwork, and the patent(s) by extension.I'm sure I don't have nearly enough facts, but DRAM seems to have been sort ...

Vista's all about marketing, to me --and non-functionality on "Dude, You're Getting a Dell" with Windows XP, for How Much?
Posted 12/10/2008 at 10:40:11pm
