The study obviously wasn't that thorough. We have Fiber in utah that gives you 50 Mbps UP and down for $80/mo. It's a helluva lot cheaper and better than Verizon fios.
Stop trying to engineer a way around Darwin, you'll only make the world worse in the long run.
Whoever thinks "good engineering" accommodates any errors of users could never recognize the engineering in a gun.
From their website:
"This utility will allow your Open Computer to boot from the native Leopard installation DVD" - Pystar Restore disk
That "utility" sounds like EFI emulation. Can I get an amen?
Its probably a good strategy actually. Their company is small enough that if they get sued into oblivion it won't really matter all that much but the media exposure they'll get will be huge.
If they can hold their ground they will be sky rocketed into the mainstream and people that want Macs without the price will flock to them in droves.
The long tail isn't built for big business, it's built more for small businesses. The idea is that you find a niche in a spot where competition is low and you can control that small market.
That's pretty cool I guess. I live in Utah(obviously a cultural hub) and pay 40 bucks a month for 15Mbit/15Mbit fiber. Unfortunately Im on the slow side of town, the other side gets 50Mbit/50Mbit fiber.
I guess I can only dream of being as cool as a european.
Instructions which dictate how it should develop or how to deal with specific situations are prohibited.
Except the ones that tell it not to slaughter humans and take over the world! Three laws must be programmed in:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Otherwise we'll have rascally AI running around willy nilly throwing eggs at my house and we can't have that!
Damn rascals.
because they hadn't thought of BCC yet:p
And I do suppose that misspoke, I should have "bad user habbits are a greater risk to security than most holes."
As for email it's not a risk for security to let everyone in the world know your email address it's a risk to sanity. I don't want no spam.
Agreed, the problem is usually the user. I recently got an email from someone that CCd everyone and when I told him in the future to BCC us he said "oh its ok, I trust everyone on the list not to spam us" I replied "that's great but do you trust them all to keep their machine's clean and free from spyware?"
You're absolutly right, we know far to little about th sun. I propose that we send a manned mission to the sun to figure out just what is going on. The away team consist of myself, Mr. Spock, Mr. Sulu and some interns.
Who cares if its degrading or whatever, the real problem is this:
If women know about computers then they won't call me to come fix them, how the hell am I suppose to get invited into their room if they don't need my tech support anymore!?
One night I was coming home late and stopped at a Red light. A police car pulled up opposite me waited a moment then hit his lights and ran the light. He immediately turned them off and sped up. I was young and stupid so I pulled a U-turn and followed him. He was definitely speeding and all my youthful angst was sure he was just in a hurry to get home everyone else is.
He was pretty far ahead of me when he turned off the road. I turned into the neighborhood that he'd gone into. I spotted three stopped cop cars, lights off, parked on the street. I didn't know what to think when finally saw the cops.
One was carrying an M-16 and the other two were armed with shotguns, I saw them doing quick hand signals before darting off into the neighborhood in opposite directions.
I kept on driving and decided it was better not to worry too much about the cops pulling privilege because, at least in this case, they had a good reason.
Maybe a cop runs a red light because he's lazy or maybe he runs one because he's following a suspect car. I'd rather let the cops have leeway and discretion in this matter.
Cops see suspicious cars all the time. Maybe they're driving strangely, whatever, the point is that they need to have the freedom to investigate.
Maybe but between Kodos and Kang I think Kang actually care about us and will follow through with his promise to build a ray gun aimed at a planet that I've never heard of. a la simpsons.
I wouldn't be too worried about people designing their sites to work better with google. If the other search engines are that worried they can tweak there algorithms to look more favorably on google optimized pages. As it is the other search engines have differences in the way they treat data. If anything they should find a way to exploit their niche. For instance wikipedia sources rank higher on yahoo and msn then on google because wikipedia uses no follow tags in all their links so google doesn't care about any links there.
You're probably right, service providers should be held accountable for what their users post.
Everytime some slashdot user makes a libelous post someone should sue Slashdot in a libel suit. We also need better controls on e-mail because people could be sending copyrighted images to their friends. If e-mail providers can't get this under control they should be sued for allowing people to move that traffic on their network.
Lets not leave out ISP's, lots of them allow their pipes to be used by people stealing content!! Sue them too!!
Steve Jobs argued with Bill Gates that vista had a better interface while Bill Gates tried to convince Jobs that Microsoft was just following his lead.
Then Castro praised the value of capatalism for the room it left him to be communist.
Finally Bill Gates entered the room again to talk about how the new apple machine is the greatest leap in computing that has ever been made...oh wait, no that last one was 20 years go.
Slashdot Mirror
http://www.utopianet.org/ In between SLC and Provo mostly but even provo now has a 50Mbit option through broadweave it's just more expensive.
Zero, wives aren't allowed to use computers duh!

or maybe midgets?

They already have a link from the homepage of slashdot, who wouldn't want that domain?

Btw, we will be wearing our red shirts.
Dick Cheney? It's more likely to be Al Gore.
After all, he who giveth, taketh away.
Did anyone else see this and wonder why Orson Scott Card would meet with the BBC about the iplayer?

Wait, they expect you to get out of the fast lane when you're going slower than the cars behind you!? Madness I tell you!
