Apparently mobile network companies thrive under anarchy.
I live in Pakistan and get unlimited quota for sending texts for only $0.0375 per day. Charges for receiving texts/calls were abandoned about 8 years ago when most of the operators switched from AMPS to GSM.
So, in future, instead of random statistics like "Melissa caushed American business $9.87 billion", we may finally have something authentic (and precise) like "Conficker was at least 14 Mega Joules, it was devastating".

LHC Success!
·
· Score: 1
Of course, it wouldn't have had been so ugly had they used Vista and DirectX 10. Or wait, perhaps LHC couldn't run Vista with all the bells and whistles.
Or better, just install Vista on all of the systems. It won't be fool proof but no real geek would try to steal any part of a system that's running Vista.
For the non-geeks, you can just try simply labeling your entire systems as Intellectual Property (TM).
A VIA Nano CPU has had its CPUID changed from the original VIA to fake genuine_amd and genuine_intel. An improvement of, respectively, 10% and 47% of the score was seen. The reasons of this behavior of future_mark product are not yet known.
saying a 'clean-slate' approach is the only way to truly address security and other challenges that have cropped up since the Internet's birth in 1969.
What a revelation. I had this 'clean-slate' approach in mind 3-years ago when I removed the Ethernet controller + modem from the PCI slots of my home PC.
When Shuttleworth is saying that Linux Desktop still needs eye-candy polish to compete with Apple, he's probably referring to Ubuntu per se. A properly configured Compiz Fusion and Emerald (with stuff like shadows and plugins like Group and Tab, Expo) coupled with Screenlets and Avant Window Navigator/Kiba-Dock and proper themes looks almost as good as a Mac if not better. Obviously though, all that stuff is not easy to configure for newcomers, so what *Ubuntu* needs to do in terms of eye-candy is to streamline the process of its configuration.
Linux Desktop in general is *not* trailing behind any other OS, and in fact, it may be leading in terms of special effects. Distributions such as Ubuntu just haven't made it accessible to general public yet.
It does nothing extraordinarily *evolutionary compared to Slackware. Just a silly attempt of attracting userbase? Maybe someone should re-release Slackware as Deque Linux and label it as what Vector Linux should have been.
... they'd start supporting AIGLX/Xgl, we may have real-time Compiz-Fusion effects! I mean, consider this:

the summary never mentioned the time period of the bill... and you apparently stopped reading TFA after that paragraph... he estimated his monthly (30 day) bill to be about $16
For your later point, he did. For the former: RTFS and then RTPP.
Loyd Case at ExtremeTech has written a follow-up after about a month of normal use.
I just pointed out that he didn't use it for a month after-all. The estimate surely is handsome but that still doesn't vindicate the summary's inaccuracy.
I've had enough. From now on,/. isn't/. for me. It's 216.34.181.45. I'm updating all my bookmarks.
Wait, why is it redirecting? I have a bad feeling about this. Itsatrick.
Well, as soon as he had posted that thing he got a Cease & Desist letter from MPAA for disclosing the intellectual property of Wachowski Brothers for The Matrix: Rebuttal. The movie was supposed to answer all the questions pertaining to the first movie and this attack was the secret way that Zion crafts used to hack into the Core. Of course, the Core refused to get its DNS servers patched because they didn't need anyone's help.

There, fixed that.

Before this DNS thingie, I'd have said no. But I guess I'll be keeping my fingers crossed from now on.
Anyone else think that British Police *is* the one going after Youtube fame because they weren't getting enough channel views?
If Phoenix isn't working, I'm sure Firefox shall fix all that stuff.
Obviously this news is fake. I mean, they can't possibly think that goatse is not historic, right?
My issues are resolved. If I accidentally spill coffee on my laptop, I'll have iced coffee as the byproduct and that ain't too bad, is it?

In other news, PostgreSQL releases sprinkle, SQLite releases Rivulet while Oracle defies all conventions and releases Hailstorm.
Microsoft, of course, was busy "revolutionizing" the look-n-feel of MS Access.

... Firefox, Opera, IE and Safari all are great networking operating systems. They just lack good browsers.
... is that now developers of every other browser expect a cake from the IE team on their major releases. Sadness.
I did turn the backup generator on but it somehow failed during commissioning. It isn't easy maintaining a beowulf clusters of generators, ya'know.
