Well... seeing as other countries rely on the protection of our military for world security then we may be a little behind.
But the US has been a leader in technology in the past and will continue to do so.
It's inefficient for people who don't need broadband to have broadband... they will most likely run IM programs and such that will suck up a higher amount of traffic than necessary.
People who don't want broadband and don't want to pay the little bit extra to get it (it really isn't that much more expensive) shouldn't get broadband.
Either we should legalize these drugs or we should fight a full-scale war. This half-assed bullshit that we're doing now is just not going anywhere. Are we fighting a war on drugs or not?
I dunno, the last guerilla war we fought in a canopy jungle didn't go so well.:)
You're like the morons in PCU who pick a new pet issue to protest every week. War 3 is reportedly surging to record sales despite your misguided crusade.
If you can't figure out how to use a computer by now then you don't deserve to use one, plain and simple. Windows, Linux, Macs... all three are the simplest they've been in years.
I like how/. offers up tidbits like missle defense is "unstabilizing and unworkable" without offering a modicum of reasoning, which to me is just further evidence that they don't know what they're talking about.
Seems that they are just that desperate to discredit Microsoft that they will resort to silly attacks about things they know nothing about.
Slashdot Mirror
Well... a badly done ripoff of an American operating system.
Not if it's a local call.
Slashdot == idiots
Free internet access that costs 25 cents a minute? Is that free as in "we're uncommonly dull" free?
My school runs most of it's webpages on VMS... other than the home page... which runs Windows2000. Blaugh.
Uh, I don't? Myself and everyone I know has broadband. What Americans is this supposed to apply to, exactly.
Not really... everyone I know has good broadband access.

Yes.
My friend went to high school with John Mayer.
I dunno... it seems pretty unconvincing that free software needs to have a law behind it.
I thought you guys were all about freedom?
to buy that company. Then I can unfreeze the heads and bury them... the last thing we need is more unemployed techies.
And there you have the reason why America is the fattest country on earth.
Study it really carefully.

Grow up, get a life, etc. etc.
You people need lives.
Losers.
Linux companies are laying people off in large numbers and this is just a continuation of that trend.

So I guess I'll have to buy two copies of the game just for spite.
Blizzard rulez! Slashdot is a little above average!
More to the point, I think, they're not running Billy's vaunted software to serve up their vapid drivel...
And, yet, even more to the point, the article was about closed source vs. open source, not MS vs. it's competitors.
Note the emphasis in case you missed it.
Yes and please note that the article was about open source and not about Microsoft's competition.
Ummm... and since when is IRIX open source?
Uhhhh, because the source is open?
Or does "open source" mean something else that I don't know about?
