And I'm not talking about the spindle hole on the LP. Don't worry, if vinyl actually begins to make a comeback, the ??AA will squash it. And PS to all the kiddies out there buying vinyl - you're not hipsters, you're posers.
But before they buy a PC/laptop, they DO consult this 1 % or even some relevant source for that.
No, they don't. They go to BestBuy, and use the $50 coupon they got as a birthday present, or get drawn in by the $100 rebate offer. People buy PCs and laptops like they buy toasters, and expect them to work as well. Why do you think $300 PCs fly off the shelves, only to be trashed a year later after they start acting up?
Adorable urchins in inner city schools do not need computers, and they do not need Linux. They need TIME. Time from adults who care, time from adults who can mentor, be debate team coaches, chaperone kids on field trips to the Aquarium, etc. Frankly, some engineer who worked on Landsat has about nothing in common with these kids, and it shows:
Impoverished children with no family life and no school supplies? Why, I'll install some trendy Linux distro, walk away, feel smug, and leave the PCs to ultimately rot!
Those schools are resource starved, not Intarweb starved. Give them books before you give them shitty old PCs.
Only your high slashdot UID can explain the idiocy of your statement:
"but I would pay it anyway (at the same price) just to keep fit."
If there were no showers at the gym, would it be the same price? If the cost of energy doubled, would it still be the same price? The answers are no, and no, you irrational punk.
And you'll end up with 2 versions, 1 that people will sell and be able to use, and another that will smack of the 1.x kernel days, when USB support didn't exist, and X kind of worked if you enabled accelerated video (but often locked up the machine). Your 'freenix' may become a sort of minix replacement, but the rest of us will use Linux.
This is more like "scientific fact, long ago known, by anyone who's followed global warming", not "News". What's next, a Ric Romero story about how the oceans store tons (literally) of CO2?
Because Netcool does much of what you describe, right out of the box. It has a spiffy Win32 client. It has a slick Web dashboard. It does amazing jobs correlating events. It just works.
No, it does not cause me to wonder, it causes YOU to wonder. Please leave the passive-voice editorializing out of this... or was this a feeble attempt by an Editor to actually edit?
Slashdot Mirror
Hey its news, it was only on Fark yesterday!
There IS more to the Intarweb than Slashdot.
Stop blogging, listening to your iPods, and buzzing over 'Web 2.0'. CODE THE FARKING SHELL TO BE USEFUL. What do we pay you for?
Analog is always a better long-term storage medium, since it degrades gracefully, unlike digital (absent any special ECC in the data).

AND, since its a non-story, why is it even accepted on Slashdot? Oh right, the editors don't actually, you know, edit.
99% of the computer buying population has no idea what your post even means.

Can't we have some other type of section, maybe for dumb pseudo-scientific ideas? Like a 'creationism' section or something...
Of course they'll say that they h4xx0r3d the Israeli radio. It's called PROPAGANDA. Unless confirmed, I'd call this FUD.
No, tomorrow its Snakes on a Chip!
You know, pronouncing nuclear as nucular is still wrong, even if everyone does it.

CowboyNeal?
when you say "All hail Eris!"
Nerd.
Spoken like someone who's a little uncomfortable about their college major, undoubtedly studied while living in their parents' basement.

Easy, just set the sticky bit. You young Windows whippersnappers.
(A joke, I know that these days the sticky bit DOESNT pin things in RAM)
Meanwhile, notice that its the smelly, cheese-eating surrender monkeys who farked the whole thing up in the first place.
Isn't that sort of think illegal in the US at least? Is that further proof that our laws are stupid?
Living in North Dakato is probably fine, but Egypt and Equador might have a different take when a failure occurs.
Neither have oil, and both are full of brown-skinned people, so we should be fine.
...I'm not a rocket scientist, but...
No, you clearly aren't.
