    NBC "accidently" turns on broadcast flag

    I agree that most/all DRM probably will be circumvented...... Is it possible that the industry knows this and will keep putting DRM on because average Joe doesn't know how to get around it allowing it to keep their archaic (but profitable) business models around..... if no DRM existed they would...

    problems with XP SP3

    Very wise to uninstall Norton, look at the free products such as AVG and Avast, they will provide better protection for no cost and won't use up nearly the resources.

Doing a quick search on newegg can't find anything close to the spec for that price. Beside the open...
