Too bad my submission from monday didn't make it, it would have made for some interesting conspiracy theories. AMD and Intel have made the briefs in their anti-trust case public (With heavy censorship^Wediting). One of AMD's contentions is that Intel's compiler is actually written to reduce speed and stability of programs it compiles when said programs are run on AMD processors.
<conspiracy>Maybe Microsoft has a deal with Intel to do the same with SP3 (and other Windows versions/SPs?) or they use Intel's compiler.</conspiracy>
I do...
Open source graphics drivers, WLAN drivers, office software, games, email, web on my school laptop.
FOSS-only is an ideal, don't assume that no-one can make it though.
Right. My bad. I had a temporary brain fart there. I couldn't remember which it was so I pulled one out of my head and I was wrong. My point stands though. Good catch.
But it doesn't. I'm on Verizon and I have a phone that can use EVDO for connectivity (that's what's currently used for wireless broadband). I get a signal maybe 20% of the time (The GSM sig is fine). But Verizon wants $67/mo for mobile broadband. No way.
Just how will this not make them any money?
If they can provide cheap nationwide broadband access, ($60-70/mo is not cheap), they will make plenty of money. Mine, for starters.
But, it was apparent that the people sponsoring the results were not tied to the AV vendors, as they were "in trouble" with them. So, spite the AV vendors, make the results public, the ClamAV guys can fix it, and the AV vendors *have* to fix it.
Why not just make the results public? Then even the open source players (ClamAV etc.) can fix their software. In fact, they're far more likely to fix these problems then any major vendor.
Actually, at the expense of space, you can have a real JPEG/BMP/PNG/GIF/etc. which has encrypted data stored in randomly selected pixels. That is how digital watermarking works. Like I said, though, it does take a huge amount of space for a small amount of data.
-Stability: Ubuntu runs the Linux kernel, which is far more stable and when it does fail, fails more gracefully. The worst problem I've ever had was X locking up, and I can X and restart it without rebooting.
-Security: Ubuntu has no ports open by default, and lets you know whenever its opening one. It also forces you to run as a regular user, and upgrade your privileges to "root" (the unix/linux admin) when you need to.
-Speed: Ubuntu has very little "extra" and what is there can easily be turned off. The linux kernel is much more efficient than the windows kernel.
-Easily available applications: Ubuntu comes with a full office suite (compatible with Office up to 2003), email client, IM client, and graphics and photo editor. Its the best you can get for free.
As for WoW, if you are that addicted, see if it runs under wine. Maybe you should run Ubuntu to help you get over your addiction...

He's right. The "Democratic" party is the oldest, having been first opposed by the Federalists, then the Whigs, then finally the Republicans. And yes, Marx seems to be the platform these days.
I do not know what the Windows CE licensing costs are, but CE starts at $15 per seat and only goes down, especially if you buy in significant quantity (like any Windows licensing)
Linux: $0 per seat and goes dow... wait... no, they don't pay you to use it. Darn.
No no no. An intelligent designer is necessary for objective morality, but does not necessarily mean that there is morality. I'm not saying that having a creator means there must be morality, I'm saying that since there is morality, there must be a creator.
True. Social darwinism is disgusting. It does make that leap. However, darwinism facilitates that leap. Ask yourself this. What truly is the underpinning for any morality at all if everything exists because of random chance?
Why is parent modded troll? It is an honest and suprisingly well-thought-out opinion. Music does affect people. Many leaders (good or bad) and philosophers have recognized this.
Amen to that. Or just take care of them without government. Government should exist to protect the country and fight crime. Not provide social services or television.

I'm sure the spread of computers will be the ruination of handwriting everywhere.
I am a living example of this, but I don't care, because the only person that ever needs to read my handwriting is myself (reminder notes). Anything I have to write for school or work I type. Its faster and looks better.

Who actually runs Windows XP on "alternative architectures." I am genuinely interested. If I could run a PowerPC PC, I would.

Worth considering.

Amen. Before we spend another dime on that institution, get our troops some real body armor too.
Nope. Sex, drugs and Rock & Roll

That is why you can declare a "mistrial", if i'm not mistaken.
