To be more specific: Windows 7 requires 1GB of RAM for the 32-bit version and 2GB for the 64-bit version. The 16-bit version requires 16GB of hard disk space, while the 32-bit version needs 20GB.
Well, they do say that if you're the opposing team you should look your strongest... But this is definitely over the top. Just makes them look ridiculous.
Now that I think about it, my ISP does the same (it's called Online, it's also in the Netherlands), or at least for torrents (haven't seen any traffic above ~600KBps when I'm supposed to have ~1500).
Has there even been any case where a harddisk was used for evidence, period? Current law systems might make this difficult anyhow.
Besides, there are professional data recovery companies out there that actually manage to recover most data. Why are they still here after all these years if data recovery was that impossible?
Having all this cool stuff on a phone is awesome, but please do not forget the most practical part of a mobile phone: being able to call people. My SHC Touch Diamond makes it hell, especially when calling to automated services.
Theora is new where Vorbis is fairly old and actually managed to fight its way into some hardware already, so it kind of makes sense that Theora is discussed about more.
IE has been Windows' standard browser for years and years. It's not that easy to just "phaze" it away.
If you mean standards-compliant, then I'd have to agree, but company sites definitely can't afford to do this (disgruntled customers, and less of them).
Hardware acceleration on the currently popular formats only happened because these formats were widely used and good for the job. Once (if) Theora becomes better than most proprietary formats and the advantages start outweighing the disadvantages, more and more manufacturers will start deciding whether to make hardware support in their devices for Theora or not.
I mean, come on! The format is still new, and it comes from a non-business niche. How many hardware do you expect to support hardware decoding for it at this point, especially when the encoders and decoders are still in development?
Slashdot Mirror
Over that time, we've seen the Internet grow to the tune of 180,000,000+ registered domains, and thousands more are being added each and every day.
Is that including or excluding spammers?
Can't wait to send someone IMs in Pidgin using the Pigeon protocol.

Hey, that's MY yo-yo! Hands off!
That much? Seems like the low cost of Linux went into the high cost of developing the software for it instead...

why is another Windows PC considered Slashdot front page material?
Because Nokia is doing it, which is a fairly unexpected thing. I agree on your other point though.
1. Yonk
British Slang, Measurement of Time;
1) The unit of 'Yonk' is known to be exactly 3 Months and 13 Days.
And if you mean yank, this article is about the first European ISP to do it.
It is time for the EU to kick those infrastructure guy's a**** so they remember what their job is.
a****?

It didn't go on a diet, the original Famicom was already that small. They made the whole thing bulkier for US consumers.

Linux suffered from lack of hardware support, and still suffers from lack of hardware support.
Hah, Linux supports far more legacy hardware than Windows ever will. Because they keep making new driver systems, obsoleting all the old ones.
So did I. Because I'm not blind.

But it's IE, and JavaScript is slow in IE!

No, more like a Gameboy.
Imagine the fun hacking possibilities.
Imagine the huge waste of technology.
Heck, any computer made from 1996 onward probably can.
all the most popular OSs are free for all!
The most popular of them all, Windows, certainly isn't. And don't even mention pirated copies.
Maybe if you can get a virtual machine to work on it!
But prohibiting it just tempts more people to actually do it.
