.. but I've seen many of my friends and colleagues switch over to a Linux distro..
I would advise you to take a harder look; whole universities, companies and public sectors of entire states have been using Linux for years now.
Actually I do not think there are many universities that don't- most started with some package from RedHat provided support and uptime, but soon learned how to do it themselves. Companies would just use anything that works, but most DTP ones I know go for Mac systems (if they got the budget for it- else they go for pirated MS software). For the public sector the change is slower, because -I guess- of some burreocratic inertia. But they are catching up, especially if there is a directive to "keep up to speed" with "cyberstuff"
A few years back, even microsoft was using it on its own microsoft.com domain (i.p. egg.microsoft.com), very much so visible by a simple nmap OS fingerprint extraction.
The least that it is, it is a natural evolution of IRC; one can interact with other people's avatars, but the digital environment is much more appealing.
Already in the game there is a stereoscopic mode; one can choose to set the display in red-blue 3D, and that is only one of the aspects that make this game so immersive.
Imagine when VR displays and even more immersive technology are commonplace, wouldn't you just appreciate it that such a piece of software exists, one that allows you to create your own virtual interactive on-line environment, and it is ridiculously cheap because its indy developer absolutely loves what he is doing? They (he and his team) went viral just from word of mouth, and made enough money to "exit gracefully" to some undisclosed island- yet they chose to hire more people and develop like crazy. And he was not put down by PayPal withholding his income, embarrassing him to his clients.
Not only that, but Persson (the creator of Minecraft) has stated that "Once sales start dying and a minimum time has passed, I will release the game source code as some kind of open source."
Supply in the Straights is limited to summer months only.
You underestimate Russian efficiency- they landed a probe on Venus, remember? The conditions in Venus are a notch more hostile than the ones at Alaska.
Think about it, this can be a solution to unemployment.
Before you start asking me "But what happened to the usual near-Marxist flavor of your posts? Do you not see that this will lead to more desperate workers that will have to yield more and more to the demands of MegaCorp?", seriously, think about it. We already have robots doing labor, let's focus on building new, more efficient ones, so we can afford to have one more weekend day in the long run. And in the short-term, new people can be hired to work part-time- it's not like MegaCorp can't afford it!
Under the risk of getting troll-modded, I have to respectfully decline this generous offer- HP hardware is and has been, to the best of my knowledge and experience, a piece of crap; a fact well in accordance with their customer support and "services".
It is furthermore obvious from this recent expansion (read; migration) that they are very well versed into riding the surface tension of every new economic bubble, exiting just in time to screw their customers and maximize their profits.
No. I assume I can read the data coming from the accelerometers. No further assumption required.
Fair assumption, calm down now. I also assume that the previous poster meant to make a point that the force that is felt on impact depends on the duration of the impact. That is exactly the reason why I asked you initially where did you get this number from. Anyhow, 10g does not fit very well into the comfort zone (nor do impacts!)

(acne killers): But why? It is a medicinal app.
(FTC): Take this hokum down yesterday. There will be no other warning.

It could help bring more electricity from renewable sources to cities
It could also help bring more electricity from non-renewable sources to cities. And villages.
Most classics from that time have already been digitally remastered. Why exclude this Disney classic?
It was at Disney studios, right?
AFAIK, it is illegal to mount lasers (whatever that is) on your vehicle (whatever that is) in the U.S. (whatever that is!)
If anyone can afford the required number of prostitutes, golf club memberships, ..
Sure Apple can do that- but so can Microsoft
when I saw the direction this was heading, I had to log in for the first time in ages.
You have a set of fair points, why are you compromising them by behaving like an arrogant prick?
Sony says it will start selling a head mounted display that provides a 3D theater
Fucking already
Optimised netcode!
Fair point. Or at least a shell.
So, you're saying that we are experiencing the beginning of "the matrix", or whatever ..
With google around, half a billion individuals in facebook and 3 billion people undernourished? That thought crossed my mind, yes.
What, not dystopian enough for you? You want victorian white zeppelins with brass knobs and levers floating about, is that it?

C'mon, what more do you want.
Also, here is 50 bucks. Please don't sue us.
Our survival is not threatened, so no saving needed-
That is two of The Old Ones years- I think each The Old Ones year corresponds to ~15 billion puny human years.

So he is like buster, only older. And more steampunk.

I find your lack of fonts disturbing.

Yes, people hire them because they are too embarrassed to "ask slashdot" by themselves.
.. but people on Slashdot like to deny.
No, they don't! Shut up!
Yeah! And then illustrate it, in court!
Get it? illustrate.
