The `ink' color/shade looks inconsistent. E.g. in the video where he draws a line with a ruler, the line is broken.

MS tried to throttle the startup programs in Vista so they don't all hit the disk at once, but reportedly gave up that idea in Windows 7:

And you can still do this to-day to remote desktop services (formerly terminal services) on server 2008 r2.
From the article:
Frank Martinez, a New York lawyer who specializes in intellectual property law and who represents several typeface designers and foundries, said the difference between having a font temporarily downloaded to your computer and having it installed permanently on your computer is like hearing a song on the radio versus getting a band's CD. "Either way you receive the music," he said. "But if you hear it on the radio, you don't own it, and you can't play it again."
If it is WOFF, what prevents one from decompressing and installing it locally?
From http://hacks.mozilla.org/2009/10/woff/:
Fonts in WOFF format are compressed but are not encrypted, the format should not be viewed as a "secure" format by those looking for a mechanism to strictly regulate and control font use.
The compression format is lossless, the uncompressed font data will match that of the original OpenType or TrueType font, so the way the font renders will be the same as the original.
As an aside, I really like more choices of fonts, but the potential licensing cost just drives me away.
Quoting from the Express page:
Unique to Visual Studio® 2010 Express is a new streamlined user experience that focuses on the most common commands by hiding some of the more advanced menus and toolbars.
Anyone who has actually downloaded and used it cares to share if this is Windows 2000 style personalized menu all over again?
Quite off topic, but I don't remember any Jesus-regenerated-a-limb miracles in the Bible, or are there?

It's like saying capital punishment will eliminate those crimes. No, it won't.
You should mention the Desktop Heap. I found this out when I was writing my own version of Desktops (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx).
See here to download the desktop heap monitor: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=5cfc9b74-97aa-4510-b4b9-b2dc98c8ed8b&displaylang=en. I also used this to check winstation/desktop names.

Kids in many Asian counties have loads of homework for Summer/Winter/Spring breaks. So even if they have vacations planned, they need to bring the homework with them! Compared to kids here, where breaks truly mean breaks.
Why point to Wikipedia when the fact is on Foxconn's own page?

You know why that guy was stupid and got the details wrong, don't you?
Not to be confused with Firefox Addons, which seem to be fairly secure, and are pieces of javascript.
This is not true. You can have native DLLs in Firefox addons. Check out the Glasser addon, for example.
