Funny you should mention that.
I was on my Ubuntu partition and trying to upload some photos from my camera and no matter what I did, it wouldn't recognize my camera. Eventually, I restarted and vista saw it immediately.
There is no perfect system.
Yeah, except Vista came out before KDE got pretty and w7 looks almost exactly like Vista. The only difference is the taskbar, but that's not original to KDE.
You're not the workstation market. You're a coder. The workstation martket would look at your post and say 'wtf does that mean?' and go back to their windows machine.
If you restrict yourself to slashdot, anything with the words Microsoft is instanyly 'horrible' but go out into the real world and you'll see that this ad, like most of their products, was a success.
It says things, yes, but when was the last time you saw a truly honest statement in a mac advert?
Maybe before Jobs moved in again? The 'tech' facts that they brag about are debetable, to say the least. The whole point of the mac ads is that they aren't the geeky programmer dudes, but rather the 'cool' programmers who are amazing at everything.
This ad is awesome as a response, as, in contrast to Mac's superficial "we're better than you" image, it gives a "we're just like you" image. Plus, it's entertaining in a wtf kind of way.
Anyways, this is probably the set-up commercial for a series; an introduction to the cast and theme.
Power users rejected XP when it came out. 2000 was all the rage, while XP was a memory-hog piece of crap. This whole anti-vista thing is very similar to the anti-xp thing, except not as many people see past the FUD.
Good news everyone!
You're all going to planet horror in the forbiden sector to trade my newest invention, the "tele-vision" for their fusion reactors!

Both parties agree to those terms when they chose to use craigslist, and this leads to a reasonable expectation of privacy which the Fortuny breached.
On a side note, the plaintiff wins his case because Fortuny is a total jackass.
Yes, but how does that *hurt* anyone?
It helps windows users, while doing nothing negative to the rest of the world.
Why the hell does there have to be a conspiracy for every little thing MS does?
It's out of beta?
On a side note, it's all [us] videos of the Olympics will be hosted on a silverlight powered website, so you'll soon see a huge surge in use, maybe 5%. (Which is amazing overnight against Flash which has like 99.9% of the market.)
No, I haven't seen their code, and I highly doubt you have either, unless you've worked there.
Now, stop with the fear-mongering bullshit based on stereotypes, especially about how their *closed source* code looks.
Oh. >. I misunderstood Larry's comment as saying that the RIAA was justified because the GPL people are just the same. You can see how that warped my view of the subsequent conversation.
...and that would be just as fucked up?
Honestly, I fail to see your point.
Yes, imjustice in the name of GPL is just as bad as injustice in the name of RIAA/MPAA.
Well, your glasses can compensate for the vision degradation. Do we have something that can compensate for the degradation in people's reflexes?
Isn't that the point of the windshield? The parrent post said that anyone who requires physical aids to drive shouldn't be driving, which I find grossly offensive.
How is it unfair?
You knew perfectly well that you were buying a locked in version of Windows when you bought the OEM version of Windows.
The fact that you're too lazy to read the conditions doesn't make it unfair.
P.S. Nor is it MS's fault that you chose to buy a box with Windows on it, and then never use it. Blame the retailer for installing it, or better yet, yourself for buying that P.C.
Yeah, I mean it's so *simple*! Seriously, why didn't anyone do this for the past 20-some years during which we've had digital photos?
Oh wait, maybe it's *not* quite that simple.
Yeah, so when a sensor breaks and stops sending in data, it'll keep running like usual, with maybe a small error code in the background.
Cause, you know, that's how we want nuclear fucking powerplants to work.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm impressed.

He obviously meant Windows.

Other cities being Detroit? I really can't think of any that are as bad an Newark except for that one.

If you are using Windows, Microsoft released an update to their spam filter last week.

SHIT! Belgium owns the moon too!?
Odd,Seriously, people that can't drive without enhancements should be off the road, making it safer for everyone else.
My license states that I require glasses to aid my vision when driving. Should I be off the road?
The problem is that beta products should eventually *leave* beta.
