Windows 7 Likely Going Modular, Subscription-based
Microsoft CRM writes "When Windows 7 launches sometime after the start of 2010, the desktop OS will be Microsoft's most 'modular' operating system to date. That's not necessarily a good thing, of course; Windows Vista is a sprawling, complex OS. From Microsoft's perspective, though, there are many possible benefits. The OS's developers can add/remove functionality module by module. New modules could be sold post-launch, keeping revenue streams strong. A modular approach could also allow the company to make functionality available on a time-limited basis, potentially allowing users to 'rent' a feature if it's needed on a one-off basis. Microsoft is already testing 'pay as you go' consumer subscriptions in developing countries."
The United States has been going to war with regularity since their Revolution. Only a few times have they been attacked directly. Warmonger is hardly an apt term for them. It's more like warMAKER.

If you have little tolerance for people with partial English fluency, do yourself a favor and get out of tech.
Every site has to pick a primary language. Nowhere do I complain that Slashdot is English-only. I'm just saying individuals can stand to be less judgemental of each other.
Conservatives complain constantly (just turn on the radio and listen) but any complain they don't share is "whining." I suppose it's a human response, and liberals certainly ignore a lot of legitimate conservative complaints, but it doesn't particularly encourage me to take the rest of their opinions as anything other than total personal bias. I'm sure you're different though.
In Capitalist America, bank robs you!
I have little tolerance for anything.
Especially you. Get off my Slashdot!

The English dubbing on the first intro song to Rurouni Kenshin was pretty funny, but because it was actually good.
The Trigun voices are painful - the villains sound badass in Japanese, flip the audio to English, and... it's just kinda sad.
The English dubs of Bleach are pretty bad, too.
There were some that were laugh-out-loud funny, but they escape me atm.
