Yes, I am very concerned with Google knowing we had 30 kids this week and 27 last week...
Or that I am down 5 lbs. See, sometimes the data just isn't really that important:)
Because not all my spreadsheets belong to the company I work for? I have plenty that are personal. Some that track Children's Church attendence, some that track my weight loss...stuff like that. I would much prefer to use some online spreadsheet then launch OO.org each time I want to edit those. Will this replace Excel at work? Nope, atleast not yet;)
Since when does/. run flash ads with freaking audio? I just got a Table Tennis ad (from Rockstar) and it has music and freaking ball hitting sounds. I haven't installed any ad-blocking crap into Firefox yet (since I understand the need for ads to generate revenue), but that is just too far. If I see one more, ad blocking here I come.
Which is exactly what I do. I use FoxIt reader for all my PDF viewing and building PDFS from web apps with PDFlib all the time. I don't recall the last time I actually read or authored a PDF with an Adobe product.
Considering the Wii uses the same CPU (just higher clock speed), same Video adapter (again...higher clock speed) and more memory (but we all know we can cram more on the same number of chips). It really isn't that suprising. In fact...all this in general probably has lead to them having "real" working hardware to play with faster and cheaper.
If a PS3 is $400 cheaper than any other blue-ray player out there, why in the world would any other MFG want to build a blue-ray player? If I am Panasonic or someone Sony has created a format and is selling the cheapest player for it. They have killed their own market.
To go off my original comment...proof please? I haven't booted Linux on an Intel Mac yet. Do you have proof of a Linux boot showing the presence of a TPM chip?
Actually, those "regular" users with Yahoo as their default are mostly due to Adobe and its "INSTALL THE YAHOO TOOLBAR NOW OR I WILL NAG YOU UNTIL YOU DIE" tactics.
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird.
The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire
and thunder upon them. For the beast had been
reborn with its strength renewed, and the
followers of Mammon cowered in horror.
This bill doesn't prevent just streaming mp3's. It prevents the streaming of any copyrighted material in a non-DRM package. So OGG would be stopped as well.
Question...would this stop me from streaming music over RDP from my house to work?
This is probably a shameless plug

I will go ahead and do it though. If you have a Nintendo DS (or are just interested in them) and using the WiFi Service (WFC) I would like to invite you to check out WiTendoFi.com. We are a social website dedicated to helping you find people to play against and share information in unique ways.
Here are a few things we have to offer:
WiFi Cards to quickly share your info
Metroid Prime Hunters Stat tracking/comparisions
Animal Crossing Turnip Watch
Tournaments for multiple games
Full Message Boards
IRC Chat
Custom sigs for other forums to show your "stuff"
It is free, free, free
So, I hope this plug wasn't too shameless, but it seemed relevent to the topic at hand.
I have been with them for aroudn three years. The service (never had to deal with tech support) has been great. I think I can recall one downtime and I have always gotten my 3mbit/512kbit speeds they said. Too bad their customer policies (as seen here) are causing me to leave.
Nex-Tech actually has a local fiber network in the whole town (Plainville, KS). Here at my work we get our phone and data services directly from them via fiber. They get their data services from Sprint (they have a partnership with them for numerous things like Cell Service in the area). Here is an example traceroute:

And this of course will become a concern the moment that Google's EULA allows them to do that. But for now, they can't.

What if they owned a first gen-Xbox controller?
So, their new challenger? Would it be more accurate to say their "additional" challenger? They haven't even destroyed open source yet.
Maybe eBay?

A link to them having included TPM would be helpful. I was under the impression that Apple didn't include TPM in the new Intel Mac's.
Don't forget this should be compared to XP Pro as well. So add another $149 to the price of that Dell to upgrade.
Ken Kutiragi? You post on /.?
but Sony is shooting themselves in the foot with a RPG.
Their shooting themself in the foot with Final Fantasy?

What the crap did that have to do with the topic at hand?
ouch...
That just doesn't work so well when written...

You really should research what you say before spewing lies.
