I agree. When AMD released their K8 architecture to the wild, they really gained a lot of momentum from it. But I was disappointed when Hector really didn't seem to care keeping that lead (since he always wanted to increase his salary) and now AMD is struggling to catch up.
Good riddance to you Hector.
That's a sound argument to NOT put everyone's personal information in their body. (I'm talking to you Obama, McCain and other New World Order zealots) I don't want something that's mandated that ends up creating a mess, especially if it interferes with medical equipment.
The question I always had about this- if they can take one sample from one animal and clone it in a vat and feed this world, will the vegans be ok with that? As someone who's sister is vegan, the answer to that is no, plan and simple. When one is a vegan, they refuse to eat any animal products at all, which ranges from meat, to milk, and to the gelatin that's in chewing gum. Personally, I think the cloning a good idea provided there are no heath issues, but I don't think it'll satisfy the vegans.
The District Judge, however, disagreed with imposing sanctions, giving the RIAA's lawyers 'as officers of the Court the benefit of the doubt...that the RIAA's lawyers were just being 'sloppy'... Doubt? Sloppy? Has any of their past trials even made light to this judge? I'm sure if I was being tried and I said that I was just being "sloppy" for supposedly making my mp3s available to everyone, I'd have no defense case left.
Dear God not the shareholders!!!
Honestly, if a "threat to shareholders" is the only offensive weapon Microsoft has, Microsoft may as well give up. Yahoo doesn't intend on becoming absorbed and re-branded, not to mention that such as deal would piss off a lot of users.
The aim of UNG is to write complete GNU-like tools and frameworks that will be completely compatible with existing GNU software and standards. These tools will run natively on Vista. This means that software written for the GNU environment will be able to compile and run on Vista with little or no modifications. Major software currently running on GNU/Linux will be able to run natively on Vista. Sounds like Microsoft still wants to take out Linux, but instead of trying to force their own tools upon its users, they'll allow GNU tools and other programs to be substituted instead.
Of course, this sounds too good to be true. What will be used to compile said programs? When they say "little" modification, what is being implied? Will the GPL linking be forbidden in some way when you compile it on Vista?
Likewise, if you're running unpatched versions of XP you could have the most secure password ever yet it's meaningless when you have a rootkit with a keystroke logger that's sending your password to a script kiddy in Russia. In Soviet Russia, script runs kiddie!
Only $1.2 billion for a space hotel? Heck, Microsoft should take that $44.6 billion and invest it into a Death Star! I'm sure Ballmer would like his new Vader costume.:)
You want the FDA to get anal retentive on your medications, fine. Just realize those expensive drugs are going to get a little more expensive and sick people who are poor might not be able to afford them anymore. Why wouldn't you want the FDA to be anal retentive? Heck, that's their job, to make sure the food and medication I take won't kill me! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and is responsible for the safety regulation of most types of foods, dietary supplements, drugs, vaccines, biological medical products, blood products, medical devices, radiation-emitting devices, veterinary products, and cosmetics. So as you can see, the FDA has a pretty huge task and anything less then anal could potentially kill more people than those who couldn't afford it. Personally, I feel the drug companies shouldn't be allowed to advertise. (who actually goes to their doctor and specifically asks for Lipitor?) Perhaps that extra cash could be used to make the drugs a little more cheaper.
1) Use a bootonly install disc and download the packages from ports or simply stick your necessary packages onto a CD/DVD and have sysinstall point to that medium.
2) Take the two iso images and create a DVD image. http://www.pa.msu.edu/~tigner/bsddvd.html
But since the OS is Suse, you still pay a Microsoft tax, am I right? Unless there's something I missed in Microsoft's patent deal, the only money Microsoft gets is by buying SuSE coupons from Novell. Then, they distribute the coupons to its "customers" and collect the revenue. Unless Lenovo bought these coupons from Microsoft, I don't think M$ is getting any cash.
Even if it still has a Microsoft tax, I think choosing SUSE over another distro such as Ubuntu is a better idea. I don't have anything against Ubuntu at all, but SUSE has a nice control center (YaST) and a polished desktop that would certainly appeal to new users.

So that's more like a L-turn then?
Or an R-turn done three times?

Now we can divert some of the resources from the Global War On Terror (GWOT) and fight the Global War Against...Erectile Dysfunction
I don't know if I would trust the government's version of ED pills. Might have something weird in it.

Better get the shotgun and health kits ready.
This is slashdot! I don't have a girlfriend, you insensitive clod!
a.k.a. take-more-of-your-civil-liberties away. I'll be glad when I don't have to be afraid of my own government anymore.

That way, I won't be able to see them through my Linux box.

Yes and soon the governmnet will get the idea that placing us all in concentration camps would be better since we wouldn't be able do anything bad.

Too bad that it'll probably cost more than my car. :p
