For God's sake, did *you* actually read his comments? He's neither pro-MS nor anti-MS, he just wants the children to have some damn laptops.
I honestly don't see why this is so hard for everyone here to comprehend. Yes, it would be better if the laptops had Linux on them, but laptops with Windows are still better than no laptops.
But unfortunately, that kind of thinking is what's keeping Linux out of the gaming situation. Everyone I know who runs Linux either dual-boots or has a separate Windows box, just for games that don't have native Linux clients.:(
A lot of people I know actually dual-boot XP specifically for the sake of running WoW as Wine can be awkward at times (especially given that I can't find linux drivers for my shitty onboard graphics and everything goes a bit fubar if I try to run anything remotely graphic-intensive).
I'd LOVE for Blizzard to make a Linux port so I could stop dual-booting but I know that they don't care so long as they get our money, which they do regardless. WoW players, Linux geeks or no, are just too hopelessly addicted to boycott WoW in the hopes of convincing Blizzard to give us a Linux port.
The fact that you are on Slashdot says that you are NOT 'the average voter' that the OP was talking about. Hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of people really don't have a clue, or indeed care that they don't.
See, when I eventually got around to quitting WoW I sold my account for £500 (~$1000) on ebay. So at the end of about 1.5 years of addictive playing, I got a pretty damn good profit out of it.:)
Fortunately, all six of these companies are ones that already invoke a 'fair use' policy and throttle bandwidth at peak times. Anyone who actually cares about this already flocked to better ISPs long ago.:)
IANAL and all that, but I would assume that press releases are INTENDED for the press and can therefore be used as testimony. On a social networking site a lot of people are gonna exaggerate and embellish for the sake of having a good story to tell and because they're under the assumption that it doesn't matter. It's therefore not exactly the best source...
Maybe it's just a functionality problem. Can you auto-label incoming email? Can you filter your inbox depending on the label? As far as I can tell, you can't. The only thing you can do that's different than folders is have an email that has more than one label.
You can auto-label incoming emails (settings -> filters), you can filter your inbox depending on the label (click the label button on the side). So, in fact, you have all the old functionality plus more. What's the problem?
Slashdot Mirror
Digital distribution != physical media.
It is when they neglect to mention any other mp3 player.
They never ask. They just give me Pepsi anyway. :(
I hate Pepsi. >:\
Mod parent up please. People shouldn't ignore(/try to correct) the subtleties of the English language just because they don't understand them.

Bastards! How DARE they make money?!
I retract in full my previous statement in favour of the notion that anyone(thing?) with money is inherently evil.
Obviously, you employ herpes-ridden prostitutes to infect them.
And just what evil have they done with this data, exactly?

Shit. I take it back and am now even more worried about the state of copyright legislation than I was previously. :\
Not global, or even 'the rest of the EU' as here in England copyright is 50 years from creation, whether the author is still alive or not.
(yes, I am completely off-topic and just picking at semantics, thank you for noticing.)
It is, in fact, bollocks.
Modify the health of your fear? o.O

You know, I clicked on this article expecting to see many rants about this from the /. hive mind. I was disappointed. :(
Mind you, moose bites kan be pretty nasty.
Ditto. :(
My code is very neat!...Just not well-commented.
that's funny seeing as you're forced to use preview now.
Aye. My boyfriend once took the case off his xbox and left it like that. Overheated in less than fifteen minutes, I believe.
Yes, that is exactly what he said. Congratulations on your reading skills.
