Apply to ISPs also. Problem is today that most ISPs actively shield users on their system which engage in malicious activity.
This is the real answer. Nobody is going to go for MS Windows being too easy to compromise, and nobody is going to go for Myspace (websites generally are not held to real-company laws). However, ISPs that host computers doing phishing, spaming, DDoSing, botnet herding, or other malicious activity should be shut down. I don't care if the computer doing the malicious activity is a compromised Windows machine or not, if the owner is aware or not, or if the owner approved of the ativity or not. Hit the ISPs, let them hit the users, and only then will the users demand a secure OS and secure applications.

That's a bit harsh. Modern art is *mostly* pointless.
What's pointless about a house with no running water, no sewage system, and no electricity? I mean, come one, with Wifi and a cellphone what could the residents be missing?
It's amazing what people will put up with if they're paid enough. I image that Mr Miyamoto is very well paid by Nintendo, so much in fact that the outrageous imposition of not being able to discuss his hobbies with people is bearable.
Sure there may be competition in the market, but at least it's a market they're already a big player in.
Attempting to jump into the CPU business (almost) exclusively is likely to kill them, since AMD and Intel have the market fairly well tied up.
That's just the thing: they seems to have the resources for competing in only one of the markets. They choose the market that will offer them the most freedom of innovation. Additionally, it is a much more visible market, arguably a more critical market, and a market that is expanding faster than Intel and AMD can keep up (at least for small, handheld devices). Better to have the #3 slice of a huge pie than the #1 slice of a smaller pie.
I still get a chuckle opening up old PCs and finding the infamous VIAgra logo. Just imagine the marketing possibilities. Gives a whole new meaning to the (hard)core gamer.
Especially in the bottom layer of a vertical market that is so critical to our everyday lives. I fear a world with one dominant processor manufacturer. Much as I fear a world with one dominant software manufacturer.
You keep using that word. I do not think that it means what you think it means. I suspect most companies would like to have a "fiasco" like the iPhone n their product catalogue.
I use Linux almost exclusively on my home PC, but none of my friends do; they want to play games or don't want to learn to use a new OS or whatever. It's not that they've drank the MS kool-aid. They just don't have the same outlook as I do.
Presumably you don't have outlook at all on that Linux box. Evolution / Kontact maybe.
The difference is that PHP5 works great, whereas Vista is a steaming pile of crap. If Vista was any good, I'd be fine with MS killing XP. but it's not.

Another difference is that the $$$ cost of upgrading from PHP 4 -> PHP 5 is nill. THe $$$ cost of downgrading from XP to Vista is around $200-$500. That said, the time cost of upgrading to PHP 5 could be on the order of weeks to months, whereas the time cost of downgrading to Vista could be on the order of hours to days.
Really, comapring an application apple and an OS orange is not quite level.
I would suggest using the camera for facial recognition as well, but I'm sure someone will suggest decapitation.
You already did. And for the record, decapitation is easier to perform that eyeball removal 'in the field'. The only drawback is that a bag of a given size that can hold N eyeballs, can only hold N/20 heads.
Tip: Set the head to drain before putting it in your bag.
Tip 2.0: Slice the jugular of the victim to kill him. That way the heart will pump out most of the blood, saving you drainage time.
Tip 3.1415: Insert a knife between ribs 4 and 5 before slicing the jugular. Otherwise, the victim will be rather loud for the better part of two minutes before loosing consciousness.
I am glad to see that the PHP community, particularly Stefan Esser, can continue to support the system even after the vendor stops....unlike Microsoft, which seems determined to drag all of its products down with closed source.
I want to love Via, but they keep disappointing me.
ATI started off with 800 pages as well. They kept adding to it, to the point where ATI graphic chipsets are almost as well supported Intels, and even have budding 3D support in the free drivers. I have faith in VIA.

I wish we had a term to describe that... something that notes the fact they are younger, and simple in their skills... Maybe "script kiddies?"
That doesn't make headlines like YAMISH does.
In Pennsylvania we have the option of either using the electronic machines, or using a paper ballot. I use the paper ballot every time.

Not surprising, considering your taste in technology. Do you expect the same of those who post from their ExtreemeCore overclocked technomachines?

You can just imagine the high class of people that would want to live in this tin can.
They call themselves "artitsts".
Perhaps its time these "artists" stopped reading comic books reconnected with the real world.
See, you already knew.
it'd go well with a Darth Vader suit.
Either that, or a wrench.
That may be happening because the headline's misleading (as usual)

So for now on, he will post as AC?
Right, and your an expert how?
Go research who CheshireCatCO is. I think terms like 'planetary scientist', 'NASA', and 'Cassini' come to mind.
I can't understand making that move at all.

Say what?
It's gibberish. Hebrew internet users are all too familiar with it, hence the linked website. It will translate some non-Hebrew gibberish as well.
Actually, I think that the technical word for gibberish is Mojikame, from Japanese.
You keep using that word. I do not think that it means what you think it means. I suspect most companies would like to have a "fiasco" like the iPhone n their product catalogue.
There, fixed that for you.

Is this for your Amiga box, or the C64?
Really, if you don't tell us what OS you are using, it will be hard to suggest software. Not all /.ers still run slackware.
I hope they used a very tiny font!

The cake is a... yeah, you saw that one coming didn't you?
Guh?
Hahaha you made a phunny. I'd answer you PDF but I doubt more than 4 /.ers would get the double meaning.
