Re:Slashdotted? Here's a cache URL

Thanks. It's a 403 error someone may have been forced to pull the article. That could be either due to load or being too frank.

From the original article without having the links broken by law.
I wonder is /. will have to do the same now?
You can always call it back from google cache...as I did.

To Err is Human--to Persist is Microsoft?
Microsoft's decision to limit Windows 7 Starter Edition to running only three concurrent applications could force up the price of netbooks as many manufacturers opt for the more expensive Home Premium.
Ok, ok, hold the phone. I bitched about this last time and I'll bitch about it again. Where is the official Microsoft statement?
PCPro has an interview with a Microsoft product manager claiming this but I would assume everything is up in the air until it's officially released. Even he uses words like "we would" and makes it sound like this would only be available to OEMs. Which if you think about it is a great strategy because once a major OEM adopts a Windows, it's as good as gold. It doesn't matter to Microsoft if Dell's phone lines are awash with people trying to open up Windows Media Player while running anti-virus and IE, the deal is done at that point. Of course it will be sold only to OEMs; using them as insulation to the potential retaliation of consumers but you won't be able to pick it up in Best Buy.
Quite frankly, I'm giving Microsoft the benefit of the doubt. I just did a Google search for Windows Vista: Compare editions and the first set of links are all the official Microsoft Compare Editions site. I don't know how long that's been down for but click any of those links and it's broken. From a cache of Vista Starter edition I found this tidbit:Windows Vista Starter is not available in developed technology markets such as the United States, the European Union, Australia, or Japan.
So I would contend that Microsoft has already washed the slate of the Compare Editions campaign of Vista and put that behind them. They will wise up and change their mind about Windows 7 soon if they haven't already. And if they do have a starter edition--like they did with Vista--it will probably be shipped only on OEMs to undeveloped tech markets where consumers are glad to have a computer and lack a very American sense of entitlement to consumer rights.
And if Microsoft only charges ~$10 for this edition of Windows 7, it may have a positive net effect for third world countries--although it makes you wonder how long other people will put up with shelling out $100 before finding an alternative. -

New theoretical method?
The structure could not be solved from experimental data alone, and required a new theoretical method that was developed by Dr. Oganov at the time [2004].
"The method is a purely theoretical, requires no experimental information, and is based on ideas of natural evolution applied to the search for the most stable crystal structure," said Dr. Oganov. "The computer generates dozens of trial crystal structures, whose energies are evaluated using quantum-mechanical calculations, and the most favorable of the sampled structures mate and mutate to produce child structures until the most stable structure is found."
This part of TFA puzzled me. What he's describing is a genetic optimization algorithm, which has been known for decades. I looked up the full text of the Nature article, which doesn't claim novelty in its theoretical method, but does name the software used -- USPEX.
USPEX is a specific software package co-developed by Dr. Oganov, the lead author of the paper. I think his comments on how it works -- which are generic and quite correct -- were misinterpreted by the ScienceDaily reporter, who has done Dr. Oganov a disservice. USPEX was new in 2004; the concept of genetic optimization was not.

Re:Main mistake they made?
According to their website (google cache link while it works), they did the standard 110% of the difference that many stores do these days. I know I've priced matched a few items over the years and I think I always got the difference. 10% of the difference usually only amounted to a buck or two but it was still less.
