Reason: The type of people who have to talk to a sales person, will run windows in a single partition, and will have to reformat before filling their drive. Storage really is cheap these days.
A lot of those images in the idea montage were blatant "green gadgets". This sort of thing certainly attracts attention and will probably pull the votes. Unfortunately.
This is an invalid argument. Knowledge level interacts with the inherent designs of the systems, and would still be true regardless of market share.
Linux + Know what you are doing = Very secure system. Fairly secure OOTB + Totally clueless = Secure in the "kiosk" sense. Don't give them the root password + "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" = Press yes to everything and get pwned
Windows XP + Know what you are doing = Much harder to lock down. Totally insecure OOTB + Totally clueless = Instantly Pwned + "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" = Instantly Pwned
Would it be possible to use collaborative filtering, and meta data provided by xkcd to produce a "These xkcd strips may be obligatory for this article", for sites such as slashdot?
Yes I just bought one a few weeks ago to replace an early digital CRT. I was surprised to find that it had a USB input, and read from mass storage devices, (albeit only FAT32) and could decode divX, xvid, mp3 and ogg.
TV manufactures now that everybody torrents, (Heroes 55 million, Lost 51 million, international favourite Top gear), and are just giving people what they want. As for the DRM on HD, well whatever. I really don't have the bandwidth to throw away on HD content right now, but when it catches up...sure, I'll torrent that too.
I bought a 9" model with linux earlier this year. Soon after, the linux models dried up, then the prices rose and the screen size crept up.
I should have bought 6 at Jan 2009 price. Baring a change of architecture which increases the battery life 5 fold, I conciser it to be perfect. It doesn't need any more power because it does everything that I want from a computer the size of a hardback book.
On a parallel topic, practically every home router now comes with WPA2 on by default. I'm surrounded by a sea of BT home hubs which are probably idle, and can't even connect. Outrageous.
Storm and many others used P2P. Using a distributed hash table, each node wouldn't need a FULL list of nodes; often just O(log(n)) nodes.
They have used encrypted+signed commands since forever, port knocking, basically everything in the field has been incorporated into making a better, more robust bot.

Disney made this press release: Oh shit!
No, Turbo boost under-clocks the CPU and causes windows to crash unless you vigorously wiggle the mouse.
There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.
Too busy leaking private info on my crackberry.
Do you have a link to that?

And they could claw back the lost revenue by adding $1.50 onto everybody's bill!
Oracle was sick of those horrible HP printer cartridges, and wanted to lower their printing costs.

By now the finches will have evolved to feed on natural historians, and other assorted crew.
Windows XP with luna theme by any chance?
I wonder when the scum will switch to aeroglass themed ads.

IE8 + adblock would give even better results!
Seriously though, how can you browse the web *without* adblock? I've shoulder surfed people doing it, and I'd rather eat my own hand.
