citation needed, ive used ahteros, intel & broadcom chipsets with no need for the cli (i may have had to copy and past 1 command in 2006 but joykey has come a long way since then) but its defiantly not hit and miss. If your wireless chipset is supported its hit, if its some weird chipset then you need to use jokey, the only miss AFAIK is usb.
Also if there were a spreading Linux Virus Not having a virus warning mechanism can cause a lot of damage.
i cant believe im feeding you but meh. The separation of privileges (ala UAC but actually works and is less annoying) means a linux virus would at best cause you to create a new user profile.
dear god! please don't call iTunes good, its a fucking media media player that requires two services to run properly instead of just hooking into windows network sharing, its chocked full of drm (even if the store doesnt use it its still there for filesharing between itunes & ipod/phone management). Its got feature parity with all the big media players, but it comes chock full of reasons not to run it.
These people will want to setup wireless via a GUI.
For them there is NetworkManager, not all of us use ifup/ifdown, hell i went 3 years without editing/etc/networking/interfaces, my bro has a basic under standing of computers but does everything via GUI anyway.
The danger in india/pakistan isn't those in power as much as it is the extremists who see their religion going the way of Christianity if india/pakistan accept technology how the west have.
my uni has also started moving from thin clients to thick, it seams that the thick -> thin cycle is eading towards thick clients. it just bothers me that there is so much unused computing power at lying around now, with the number of thick clients my uni has running idle most of the day you could probably do some interesting simulations with all that power.

But is there a time scale? are we talking plank times, weeks, months, years, decades? I mean nobody is going to sue you for missing a release data but Q3 of 09?
Also I'm not sure where this myth about openGL being used on consoles has come from, because the truth is very different. We are actually writing rendering code in SDK's specific to Wii and PS3. There is no OpenGL support. (There are some really crappy openGL wrappers that are too in-efficient to be useful if that's what you mean?)
OFC if you have to port the game between 4 architectures, (directx,ps3,xdx,wii) it would be beneficial to seperate out the rendering code, which in turn makes it easier to port to openGL right?
Hopefully as the mac user base increases the cost of writing that extra rendering backend will become less than the benifit. OFC with some wishful thinking eventually, the cost of porting the executable to linux/wine (with an openGL renderer), becomes less than the handful of sales to linux users.
These people are just as greedy as the ISP's they complain about. They want a huge "dedicated" pipe, but have others subsidize it.
No they want a dedicated pipe of the size they paid for, hell most people wouldnt even care if they used QOS properly and just slowed down their torrents, but the if my isp detects that im torrenting all my packets are slowed down, pings take 4s.
actually its more like if he had asked other people 1) what the weight of the bullet was 2) what the density of air was 3) how air behaves around a bullet n) etc
and there was a 1/100 chance of each any one person being wrong then theres is an (n-1)/100 chance that your entire calculation is wrong. (ofc there is obviously a 1/100 chance that the study saying that the other papers may be wrong is itself wrong)
However all bugs are shallow also applies, and given that many people have looked at these papers there is a much better chance if there was a bug it would have been spotted, compared to the other 99 questions that nobody cares about (e.g what is the viscosity of jelly?, do you swim faster in treacle), so it could be argued that the chance of there being a paper is (1/10,000*)^(number of scientists that have looked at it/ number of scientist that look at your average paper). It is possible that TFA could raise the risk (possibly even none trivially) but id rather wait till they were peer reviewed so they at least have a chance of being one of the 999 that doesn't get withdrawn
*Contrary to the summary 10,000 is not a generous estimation but merely a result of less papers needing withdraw in the well established fields of science (e.g particle physics) rather than more recent adventures (e.g social sciences)
p.s anybody else think that LHC destroying the earth is becoming the new cancer of physical sciences.

It doesn't matter and it never has. Chip makers dont care what your average user wants, they sell to to high end markets where a CPU can still set you back £600 and a mobo another £600. The reason they put money into R&D is so that the other-guys don't get better high end stuff than them, this results in their consumer end stuff getting better, but it is defiantly not their primary aim. PCs getting greener has little to do with eco-friendly consumer and a lot to do with hosting centers spending too much on aircon. If prices do drop it will be because the re-sellers will be shipping cheaper/older parts, not because the R&D goal has changed.
As ive never used gmail, either they have invented some magical new threading system or and im going to go out on a limb here and guess its this one, you're a complete tool who has never used any email client (with the possible exception of outlook).
no GPL extends use beyond normal copyright law. get a fucking clue. Sure GPL is more restrictive than BSD (which is in turn more restrictive than PD) but it defiantly doesn't restrict use over normal copyright.

Everything in your post i agree with.

technology like this is too dangerous to the PRC.
Might also help with political stability, if you know about science, technology and reason its a lot harder to go round killing innocent people.
For the last time quantum teleportation isn't star trek style, its far more impressive. It's transferring information you don't even know across space.
Ironic?
Indead it is ironic as quantum teleportation destroys the original, if only that happened here
i thought that failed if you have two eyes?
But is there a time scale? are we talking plank times, weeks, months, years, decades?
I mean nobody is going to sue you for missing a release data but Q3 of 09?
Give up on the closed source driver, apparently the open ones are coming along in leaps and bounds.
well apparently games can make people do things, so why not change some character models and see what happens ;)

I would hardly call the red dwarf sets elaborate, they look like they are about to fall apart most of the time
thats fine for a developer system but your average user should have been left on 3.5 with the option of installing 4.0/1 along side.

he said older not used. An older cpu is still as safe as a newer one

erm so 4.0 alpha 3 would have been 4.0 CC1 alpha 1 and 4.2 rc2 would become 4.0 RC1 RC2
