just who paid you to type that bullshit ?
"I like the proposal [of] giving away the back-up strategy if XP is rejected,"
`We should see how we can "target" the funds for the specific research
`I think we should name our new open source license and romance its creation. "Education Open Source" or something like that'
`Remember that a key part of our strategy is to create a situatuion where even if Nick rejects us for philosophical reasons there is a long and visable history of our attempts to work with them and then we have to ask to get a license for the "open source hardware" and we will make our own offering on the commercial side' Craig Mundie Oct 2005 link
"The OLPC News website in the past months has build up a reputation for sharply criticizing the $100 laptop

Re:News Site? Large Grain of Salt on Order.
Evangalism is war, eh? OLPCNews hijacked the OLPC name and is run by Intel employees who did not disclose themselves or their work while they smeared the whole project. It's a forum controlled by people hostile to the device and everything they say is suspect. The arguments for and against this are well made in the comments to the SVS article. Their giddy coverage of OLPC's supposed problems is more of the same, a dishonest smear job.

Re:I took some photos at the sun demo
Ah.. But do you know one of the inside lores. They emptied one up, made a wall transparent, put in a few chairs

It's not even "pretty"!
I think it's difficult to even suggest that Vista offers a "pretty face". A large number of bloggers have written about the rather poor appearance of Windows Vista.

And it's not like Microsoft was unaware of the problems. We had people pointing out many of the visual flaws throughout the development process:

Re:Visionaries
If we ever were really in a war,
WTF? That (MS) blogger is on crack.
Not only was it a war, it's a dirty war that's not over yet.
We've had accusations of corruption for State official's daring to consider ODF, Microsoft paying people for favorable wikipedia edits, Alleged attempts by IBM to influence OOXML standardisation process, etc etc etc.
It's not over yet folks. There's billions of dollars at stake. Of course its a war, of course its a dirty war. -
Not for you I guess. Who are you, anyway?
If all you want is a cheap powerful processor to put into your gaming PC, then yeah, you don't care who dethrones who. But if you work in the industry (and right now I'm writing documentation for an Operton-based HPC system) then the Intel-AMD struggle is very interesting indeed. Every time AMD scores an upset over Intel, the whole marketplace changes.
And while you may be content to buy cheap technology 6 months after its introduced, not everybody who buys hardware has that luxury. If you're spending 6 or 7 figures for a rack full of high-performance computer, then every little twitch in performance or pricing makes a big difference to your bottom line.

What's Digg?Digg is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.
Slashdot, Digg.com, and the True Meaning of Design

Digg is actually better. Slashdot is old and ugly. Its content is decided by editors, the layout looks like it was made in windows95's heyday and its a dinosaur. Digg on the other hand is new and "growing", they use a flashier, better looking layout, yet the site is still simpler then Slashdot. The content is decided by the submitters and you can get that content via audio and video podcasts.
I never could stand slashdot. The layout and just overall feel of that site was/is bad.
I don't like slashdot's layout. It's ugly and cluttered. The colors make me wanna puke.
Slashdot users agree that Digg.com's entries are a lot more current that the ones posted at Slashdot.
99% of slashdot users have self-diagnosed themselves as suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Most slashdot users consider themselves "smart" when in fact they are simply of average intelligence, but have more free time and a higher sense of ego. This can be seen in the forums where spelling and usage errors are prevalent in condescending, arrogant rants, identified by containing the phrase "people are stupid" at some point in the post.
I prefer Digg for my tech news and I've found some really nice sites that way.
I prefer Digg. I used to check
I like Digg better anyway, much more and more interesting news.
What I can't stand, even less that the site and the proseltyzing editors, are Slashdot's users- overweight, effeminate cubicle shit. At least I don't have to wear a goatee and suck linux dick to participate on Digg I cant stand Slashdot, I will only Read it when its linked from somewhere else
