I've noticed that this is an issue on Windows Server 2003 (I believe R2 included). I have noticed that this is less of an issue once IE8 is installed (this should have already been done by this point), but this is still definitely an issue. I will be glad when I am rid of this OS (soon!).

A. The enthusiast is purchasing the vehicle. As long as he or she is following the rules of the road, and his or her vehicle meets the safety standards for the year of manufacture, there should be no problem. B. It is up to each driver to decide what risk is necessary. It is a system you accept the risks of when you buy into it. Should you wish to reduce these risks, you should contact your elected officials. Once again, the lack of stability control should be a moot point when someone is driving legally. If there is a circumstance where someone has lost control, it is likely that broken equipment or broken laws were involved. C. The enthusiast should not be driving at unsafe speeds on public roadways. Period. If they have done so, they will have to take responsibility for their actions. This is one reason vehicular manslaughter statues exist in many states. It allows vehicles to be classified as deadly weapons, thus making it easier to convict. Sadly, the people who can afford these vehicles can often afford a good lawyer and somehow get off with probation.

I heard webscale is what applications crave.

You're most likely correct. I can't even imagine what kind of nightmare it was to get the back-end connections talking to all those other government systems either. That's not even taking into account the government security requirements...

Ben, When you're generally designing enclosures for your hacked consoles, do you tend to start with an overall design first, or do you start designing around the mainboards and then attempt to make things look nice later in the design process?

I can see it now. Expect helpful input like "This thing is sweet!" or "That screen rocks!" Good luck, Lenovo engineers.

I should also, really, think about my extraneous/incorrect comma usage.

In all fairness, paper means one thing in the IT world - mainly getting through HR somewhere where you don't have connections.

Actually, "its" is possessive, while "it's" is a contraction for "it is." Its one of those ridiculous English quirks, that I have to say in my head occasionally to ensure I've got it correct. See Wikipedia.

It's more than them not being evil. Their original stance is exactly the same as most ISPs: no servers on home accounts. While these are rarely enforced, allowing most game (i.e. Minecraft) servers and the like, it is still the policy of any ISP I've dealt with. Google has done a good thing by allowing these personal use servers. Sadly, they're not likely to reduce the amount of traffic sniffing.

That's exactly what I plan to do. Ha!
...I hope the sticker store has some of these. I'm going to need a discount on stickers.

You can't actually build it that way, unfortunately. The site is really only to help you price that configuration and help you find that or a similar build. All cars have to be purchased through a dealer. I was informed that my Mazda dealer could not special order vehicles built in Japan; Mazda simply sends a certain number of cars to the dealer in quantities and configurations they feel will sell best. There is some statistical information and dartboard decision-making in that process, I can only assume. I believe the reasoning behind this is due to the lead time from manufacture to dealership arrival. I believe that is somewhere in the neighborhood of three months. Sadly, Mazda is not the only company that does this: Hyundai does so for their entire lineup, despite a significant number of their vehicles being built in Alabama and elsewhere in the southern U.S.

I was looking for a Mazda 3 2.5l Hatch with a stick. Sadly, that was impossible at the time, despite being able to build one on the Mazda site. I only managed to find a base model 2.0l sedan and a Mazdaspeed 3. Now, while I would have jumped at the Mazdaspeed 3 if I could, but my bank account had other plans. I settled on a Mazda 2, which I quite like, but I occasionally want more space.

I can only hope the responsible investors are properly ticketed and fined. What a glorious and historic $75 that will be.

Exactly this. Passwords like picture and PIN passwords are meant to keep your kids from installing software and/or getting to your porn collection/browser history. These types of passwords aren't exactly meant to keep you safe from more nefarious individuals.
