according to the video it's already integrated with most of google's web apps. It's only a matter of time until they buy it out. Hopefully they will put it on some better servers as well
This is not entirely true. The storm trojan/worm is now evolving to use new methods of spreading itself. It is overtaking commonly used websites [ Citation ] using iframes and javascript[ Citation ] to insert malicious code. I suppose you could interpret that to mean that the owners of the website are stupid for not properly securing there system, or that the user is stupid for visiting that site in the first place, but the worm is now using javascript to exploit vulnerabilities in the web browser to spread itself.
Sometimes Alzheimer works as a coping mechanism. When they are in a nursing home, is it beneficial to there sanity to remember how yesterday was exactly the same as today? It helps them forget how miserable there life is and it makes every day as interesting as the last. They are always making new friends. They always have a "new" story to tell when someone comes to visit (even if they have heard it a million times). The visitors have someone that they can talk to because they won't remember it the next day anyways. It's like having a crazy old therapist!
Maybe we should consider all aspects before we go and play god. Do we really know what's best for the elderly?
It's about as useful as the little warnings in limewire that pop up to warn you not to download illegal content. someone will just find a way to block the little heads and the whole thing will be pointless.
it was sarcasm. I was implying that they could have got more or less the same thing (fedora),if not better, for free.
So many people still don't trust open source or free software and insist on installing commercial software, even when there are identical free versions out there. products like redhat are a necessary [evil] step in getting linux adopted into the mainstream OS market
as a linux noob I found that installing programs that were not listed in the default repositories to be very difficult. I think an MSI type installer would be extremely useful. I was so happy to discover autopackage and I would LOVE to see it more widely used for non-repo apps.
The other thing that I think needs improvement is WINE and game compatibility. Lets face it, commercial games are not being developed for linux. we need a way to make them work as well as they do on windows so that "linux has no good games" can no longer be used as an excuse not to switch. we should be able to reply "linux runs almost all the games that windows does"
Typical Microsoft. when money is involved they get right on it! Obviously it's much more important to make sure that every copy is genuine(or cracked) then it is to fix security holes in the operating system!
They may be poor but they aren't stupid! They don't play by our rules, it's not as simple as who has the most/best weapons. If they can't afford it then they will steal from the people who do! They can easily recover the remains of a shot down UAV, and turn it against the USA, or steal rocket launchers to shoot down aircraft
W.O.M.D. should NOT be open source!
Saying that everyone who uses Firefox installs AdBlock is like saying that all Canadians play hockey. While it may be mostly true, it is prejudice to block all Canadians just because you don't like hockey. Webmasters could be losing dozens of potential customers based purely on browser profiling!
Danny also offers a perfectly good, and much better solution, "Adblock Fence" (which can be blocked with noscript). I have no problem with this. If you want me to view your ads, fine. I have no problem disabling my AdBlocker to see the real content of the page, as long as you aren't forcing me to buy/promote anything or putting spyware on my computer. But if you want me to switch to an inferior browser, I am simply going to leave your website and you will not make any profit from me whatsoever. It is in your best interest to allow my browser.
If you aren't able to code your website properly to display in Firefox then you have a serious problem and don't even deserve to have your own blog, nevermind a whole website! Firefox is by far the easiest browser to code for. If you can't code for Firefox then you need to go back to school.
more Open Source=Good Making $$$ off Open Source=Bad
It's quite simple really!
I think most of the slashdot community feels Open Source software should be free as in beer. When people make money off of what is free then that is morally wrong, but when you decide to make a paid product free then that is considered a kind deed.
why not just make a TVUnderground -style website that contains all open source software?
You submit your software, it is added to the list, people download and rate it. be sure to have a page that has the info for each program, explaining what it does, etc

I have seen crazier hacks!
so how long until someone makes an instructable on how to mod your ipod into an iphone

I think you mean "violates", not "validates"

if you want to get the facts from people who know what they are talking about then check wikipedia. this is the ONLY way to get unbiased results. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Windows _and_Linux
for a grand total of 5 games for OS X! woohoo! That's ALMOST enough reason to switch to a mac.
try "IEtab" extension

I agree 110%! SSDs are the future. water cooling is a waste of time and money!
Hydranode is extremely modular!...And that is why it died, there was no fixing to get the n00bs involved
...this proves that no matter how bad your drivers are linux will always keep you on your feet
...only because you get to sit on your arse the whole time

Nothin' keeping you from doing this either
