Really, quite old news. This was reported on right after it happened. If I remember right though, Gabe claimed that they had succeeded in tricking the hacker. They did speak with him on the phone
Yeah, and apple leaves people in the dust with their arbitrary cutoffs every OS update (800mhz bad, 867mhz ok!) Good luck getting a cpu upgrade for your macbook or imac g4, time to buy a new machine!
And guess what? that is ok, just like what ms does is ok. The latest software needs newer hardware. if you can't afford it, tough. If you don't need it, why do you even care?
I don't think it's Vista's problem at all. I've never seen a vista machine just "slow down" either here at work, or at home on my desktop, where uptime hits 31 days before I reboot (1 reboot for updates / month). I never notice it slowing down as time goes on.
Maybe you should prevent the sales people from loading it with "all kinds of crap"?
Seriously, criticize Vista for its real problems, like the still randomly slow file transfers, or the new DRM requirements, or false positives with WGA, or an overzealous UAC... lots of choice here.
Really? most driver related problems for vista were resolved in the first year of release. Had Vista driver writing progressed at the same speed it did/does for linux, we'd still be years away.
Really?
Human rights don't apply to everyone?
That means we can kill them then, right? I mean, for real killing, not a village here or there, but all of them. Why not?

if you think Starcraft 2 is coming this year (especially now that they've broken it up into 3 pieces), I hope you are good with disappointment
except that this was done by some 4chan kid as a gag to gain "lulz" or whatever the fuck they talk about now a days. Considering how badly he tried to hide his activities (he didn't, his ID is present in several screenshots he made), this can't be considered a political hack job, just a prank on the internet, targeting the biggest story of the day.
yeah, because 667 x 2 isn't anywhere close to 1333!
however, I will enjoy hearing the results of someone who manages to double the clock speed of their ram. I like sparks
My economy is based on a series of tubes.
Recently, the Large Hadron Collider, the most advanced tube on the planet, failed.
Clearly, the fundamentals of my economy are failing.
"All good scientists must be skeptical"
Right. All good scientists must think like you, but you aren't an elitist with your "education"? please.
What a crock.
not if we nuke it
and I mean, really nuke it
none of this pansy crap. If Nature wants us dead, it should be on our terms. All Industrialized Nations should commit to building a nuclear arsenal capable of cracking the mantle of the planet apart.

what the hell are you ranting about? Microsoft and the Xbox really have nothing to do with EA's draconian PC based DRM. I don't see any Xbox games authenticating online in order to function.

record profits. RECORD PROFITS. yeah, Microsoft is fucked! OpenSUSE for life. Get real, this is why FOSS people aren't taken seriously.

So, you don't believe people should just have fun sometimes? There must always be a practical goal? Your life must suck

if OSX adds performance on every release, why do the system requirements continue to climb?

because space is a perfect vacuum, and radiation is a republican scare tactic.

you don't have faith in your fellow scientists? Falling back on your "very good reasons". What are you, an elitist? Go back to your ivory tower!

Jack Thompson "discovered" a lot of stuff that isn't true.
Yankees suck. Krypton sucks.
bah, laser weapons are useless against Alien Retaliation ships. We need to research Plasma weapons. Plasma Weapons -> Ultimate Craft -> Mars
What is a GNU/Linux? I've heard of Linux before, and I've heard of RMS and his fanatics before, why are they smashed together?
