Economic issue aside, MS has said it will run on computers that can run Vista, meaning no upgrade in hardware is necessary. Cost of entry to Windows 7 is therefore a lot smaller than from XP to Vista. Also remember there was a long period of time (~5 years) between XP and Vista so a hardware upgrade requirement made more sense than with Vista to Win7.
replace Vista with Windows XP and replace Windows 7 with Vista and your post is just as valid. These are the same complaints that people made with Vista.
I have always thought the use of the word green is overloaded and meaningless. What does green mean? Does it mean sustainable? Does it mean it is biodegradable? There is no standard for what these words mean and there isn't federal regulation on a standard that the companies must meet. The only way I think to cut down on energy and resource consumption is to consume less. See story of stuff and Wall-e for examples on our materialistic society. Unfortunately, the kind of self-restraint required to be thrifty and frugal is too much to ask for most.
I wish Vmware or Sun (virtual box) would start supporting freebsd 7 for client-side tools. It would make running and playing around with it a lot easier and fun.

oh well. that's the choice you make. If OpenSSH had been GPL instead, it probably wouldn't see the complete adaptation we see today.
also, since the story mentions that many male babies are born with female tendencies and genitals, I would think twice, or at least look more carefully before doing anything.:)
I like the Canadian system. Go to school for free, for as long as you want. Find something you really like to do instead of being hurried out the door asap. After graduation, don't want to work? Fine, go to grad school, again, pretty much all paid for except very little cost. Yes, you still have to do well and excel to get into grad schools but you being there has much more to do with your desire to be there, rather than your ability to secure a fellowship.
that's cool and all, but should slashdot's search suck less so you can just find what you need?
For example, I searched for (Useful) in the search box and got zero hits. How? I don't know. But these threads are as good as useless if I can't find them again.
(yes I know google will find it, but it's seems like I shouldn't need to rely on that).
I can't really get vim to work within visual studios. Do you have any tips or a link to a tutorial to getting that to work? From what I understand, the plugin will open a NEW window, not embedded in the VS window?
I told my sister not to buy spore because it has DRM and limited number of installs. I stood on the high horse and told her I would be boycotting it as well. True is I was never interested in that game. Now comes Fallout 3. Gone are the cute animals and bright colors and replaced with GUNS... Motherf*ing GUNS! And mutants... and drinking from a urinal! I want this game now, but AHH, DRM! Should I be a hypocrite and eat my words and buy the game and support DRM? Should I eat my words and buy this game?
I would use python for development if there was an IDE as good as Visual Studios for development. Don't even mention IronPython because that's just not ready.
Technical jargon, I understand. But this is making my head spin. Who modded this up must be full of shit because I don't think anyone could understand this.
This title makes it sound like AMD had an involvement with industrial espionage in this case when really, AMD had no idea that the said person had stolen secrets. Intel noticed weird access logs, then contacted the FBI and now the guy's passport has been revoked, his job at AMD and Intel terminated.
He is going to a Federal PMITA prison for sure.
My wish is that after generating some revenue that they will do some development and testing to make sure these games run on Linux using WINE. Then I can finally ditch Windows!

FEMA failed. And that's a federal agency.

One step closer to getting my railway rifle operational!
the DRM in GTA 4 may be slowing it down (If you are using legit version, that is).
also, since the story mentions that many male babies are born with female tendencies and genitals, I would think twice, or at least look more carefully before doing anything. :)
I just don't understand - why hasn't someone taken these monster cable people to court over false advertising?
all google searches reveal how Monster is suit-happy against others, but not how someone has sued them already.
bravo.

I think you give chair-throwing Balmer too much credit.
you probably want to look into another saddle?
