There's certainly a lot of domestic opposition to Chavez, but there's a lot of domestic opposition to Bush too - the fact remains that both were democratically elected by the people.
Not to troll, but George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein were elected by their people. Of course, Floridian optical voting machines were programmed to throw out misformed ballots in "black" areas while they asked for a new, correct ballot in "white" areas. And of course, Iraqi polls were not anonymous.
So being "elected by the people" does not necessary mean you are not a dictator.
A system without Windows will cost more because third-party companies will pay OEMs to install their software onto the system. Their software is compatible only with Windows. That link for AOL on your new Dell, for instance, was paid for by AOL.
Think about it this way: people have to pay you to install Windows on your computer.
As much as I think people are going to hate it and find it inconvenient, it's nice to see Google handling this without any backstabbing and lawyers and the like. Unlike Microsoft which is going to muscle the "Windows Vista" name through IPO despite the fact that "Vista Windows" and "Vista Blinds" already have a very similiar name registered, and their office is just down the adjoining road from 1 Microsoft Way.
I hate to defend Microsoft (bad for karma), but in this case, they are correct. Assuming "Vista Windows" and "Vista Blinds" are selling literal windows and blinds, then there is no conflict with "Windows Vista" for a computer operating system. There is no likelihood of confusion between products.
In the Gmail case, both users claim "gmail" for electronic mail, so there is a chance of confusion.
Otherwise you can get free rides. You can buy two tickets, A and B. Use ticket A when you enter the first station. Go where ever you want. Once you want to go back, use ticket B to enter at the second station. Immediately put your ticket to swipe out but stay in the station. (Is this possible if you reach?) When you get back to the origination station, swipe out with Ticket A, which should return your fee (unless it has a time bar feature. Hrm.)
Hrm. Wild-ass guess, but perhaps Apple wants to get into the personal video market. Not that they are going to create an Apple-branded camera, but having 60 gigs of your own home videos would be cool. And which computers are used to edit videos? Yes, Macintoshes. Hrm.
If a machine says that you are carrying traces of high explosives, it really isn't an unlawful search, is it? There's particularized suspicion and probable cause.
Imagine a gOffice Server in the corporate environment. Plug the gOffice 2U blade into your Exchange farm. Stick Linux with Firefox on your boxes. Done. No more Windows hell. No more viruses.
This could kill the Office base if Google sold it.
It took the Nobel committee 42 years to decide that Glauber's work in quantum theory was worthy of their prize. Now that's what I call uncertainty.
The Nobel Committee does not want to impugn the integrity of the Prize by doling it out for science that does not pan out. They have to wait until the research is established to some degree. What would happen to the Prize if someone won for cold fusion? The Nobel Prize would be a joke.
The article seems to make the choice one-sided. Fault tolerant servers have higher uptimes because the backup takes over immediately. Clusters have a single point of failure in the middleware. They argue that the clusters can run different operating systems, but that means more patches and updates to keep track of. Clusters are expensive because they need more OS and software licenses and require a lot of maintenance, though that might drop if they are running Linux or FreeBSD.
Anyone make a case for clusters for high-uptime situations?
The patent can be challenged by every schmoe accused of infringement as long as he hadn't sued or been sued before. This is because the new schmoe did not have his day in court to challenge the patent. (If they make the same arguments as the last schmoe, however, they probably will lose.) Patent holders, however, lose their patents against everyone if they lose only once, since they had their day in court to defend their patent. This difference is why people keep suing firms with patents.
This post is supposed to be funny. Everyone knows that this guy, Yoshihiro, who is taking credit for the hack here is actually some dude who steals other people's code on the Playstation scene. In fact, read the first subject on this webpage.

Microgrids cannot get very big unless the infrastructure gets much better. The great blackout of August 2003 was caused by one power plant screwing up and then all the other plants powering down to protect their networks. These are huge power plants we are talking about. Imagine one guy who didn't maintain his generator wiping out the microgrid every day!
Reading the article makes we wonder exactly what life is, anyway. It sounds as though we only require chemical conversion. What if there is a big rock that serves as a catalyst for this conversion of acetylene and hydrogen to methane. Would we think of that as a life form? Or would we require reproduction? Would reproduction be possible in this slow-motion frozen gel we find on Titan?
It is interesting, though, how the life and the planet co-evolves. Life has really changed Earth and it may have affected Titan, as well.
I would be surprised if Apple owned the fab plants that built the frames. Apple probably buys all the parts to spec and then assembles them. Assembly plants probably are not that complicated and perhaps can be shared with earlier iPod plants.
This is not the behavior of a peaceful state that hopes to gain some leverage over the US by holding up a few boatloads of cheap trinkets and consumer goods, or by waving a fistful of T-Bills at us. A whole lot of good that all did for the Japanese.../I.
Or maybe China's afraid of being the next Iraq. Compare Iraq again Iran and North Korea. The countries with a military didn't get screwed. Imagine that.
You don't need antisatellite satellites--you just kill their satellites and move yours ASAP. Then we'll have to move back to spy aircraft again. And the US has the most of those.
I use Opera. Now it's free. Doesn't pass Acid2, but damn close. It's quick in loading itself and rendering pages. Crossplatform. Has mouse gestures and a mail client. For four megs.

Ars Technica is using Microsoft ASP.NET to handle their dynamic contents.
Draw your own conclusions.
(I think they should review their Slashdotting of ASP.NET.)

Outsourcing gone awry. "Jose" runs the American intelligence agency. Were they making a joke on "James"? I guess that's top-secret.
Dare we dream the impossible? Do my eyes see correctly? Slashdot has vanquished the mighty Google, who lies slain by our feet!
This day shall live in infamy!

Shut uuuuup! MPAA is going to make selling used DVDs illegal!
I think what the parent poster was trying to say is that the difference between hybrids and regular cars is the lowest on the highway.

Heehee. Fakers. Will he take credit when the SIAA (Sony Industry....) comes a-knocking?

How the heck did this site get linked to by Slashdot? The article is just flamebait, for anyone who bothered to look through the site.

Someone's been thinking of that already. Clickie 1. Clickie 2.
It's also been on an episode of Alias. Hmm... Jennifer Garner....
