Customer: Hi, I want to watch erm, a video, which I downloaded. Dell (best read with Apu's accent): I see that you are having a Dell Linux computer. Customer: Yes. Dell: What I can do for you sir is to tell you that you cannot watch a WMV file. Customer: Um, but my kid sent it to me from HIS computer. Dell: Please hold. Customer: *fume* (5 mins later) Dell: Sir, I want you to take the system recovery disk and reinstall your operating system software. Customer: Why? Dell: Please hold. Customer calls friend/child/etc on the other phone: Hey do you have a Windows Vista CD I can borrow? (1 min later) Customer: Great thanks. *click* Dell: Sir? Sir?
Amazing - if I have an application which chews CPU time, does I/O, or a peripheral which powers another or requires a high power output like a wireless card, then these applications or peripherals drive power consumption up!
Call my cynical, but I'm skeptical of a government agency in a socialist country 'proving' a design flaw in a product from an American company. Heck, I'm skeptical of an American government agency 'proving' a design flaw in a product from an American company.
However, this is Slashdot, so despite the support of the Mac fanbois, I'll be modded down by the Gen-Y socialists as a troll.
A military organization functions well due to its tightly controlled command structure, like a hive of ants. Whether or not the military should be doing X or Y is irrelevant to the issue - the actions of everyone in the hive must be controlled and purposeful.
If you don't like it, pretend to be crazy, gay, or commit a crime, and get out. THEN write your book.
Simply untar the installation into your NFS-mounted/usr directory, boom, everyone has it. What is this "Windows" of which you speak, is it some crufty OS that requires you to sit down at every desktop and install software?
They dont care if your MUA receives the email or not, they know that the spammer sent some bytes over their network to your MTA. And they charge a premium, its like protection money, to the spammers. Why would ISPs kill their golden geese?
While the ISO may _set_ policy, he's usually the last person you want to actually ask about a technical solution to anything. "What does Gartner say?" is not a technology strategy.
By creating the atmosphere of a "summit", it puts them on a conceptually equal footing with technology companies and consumers, when in fact, they are not. They can choose not to produce, but if they produce, they have no choice - Fair Use exists. Debating details about Fair Use is irrelevant, and can only result in some diminished definition of the same.
There are enough decision makers who remember the 56k line days that a T1 seems impressive, and if you market it as "business class" and people start talking about E1 framing and CSU/DSUs, then its obviously cool enough for business. 1.5 Mbps SDSL somehow is kid stuff in comparison.
Of course thats all crap, but hey, there's one born every minute.
So the pictures are more "vibrant" - read: the camera jacks the chroma values way up to make up for its shitty little lens. If you want to take a decent picture, get a camera, if you want to take goofy snapshots of your buddies on a road trip, use your phone.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
Since the Internet is a series of tubes, either 1) anyone involved has no idea how it works, but got a free iPod for switching hosting facilities, or 2) its a plan by the geeks to throw the election, which, frankly, is better than the politicians throwing it.
Of course reality exists when you aren't looking. This is the same old crap about "Science can't prove that the Sun will rise tomorrow, thus the Universe is unknowable."
China will ask for IT concessions from Sun et. al. for this, and they'll promise that they'll keep them all secret, and only use them for in-house stuff. Then, you'll find them on the clone market in 3 months, and we'll discover that the next (in a long series) egregious human rights abuse was made possible by Sun's "shared" technology.
Sun seems great at giving away the store, getting farked over, then crying foul, while their market share and relevance dwindle.
Slashdot Mirror
And coming up next, the FCC will have the power to force you to use the plan as well.
You fucking statist troll.
Perhaps she needs a semen-soaked tentacle or two?

Fixed that for you.
This is a subtle, but poorly crafted troll. Any modern distro works out of the box, and Ubuntu really "just works".
Biodiesel is produced from soy, or better, algae. Ethanol is produced from corn. Get your facts straight before you troll.

Brilliant!
Xen's benchmarks vs. native, VM and UML are pretty decent. Not sure what cleverly crafted scenarios they're using here.
Yes, you do fail to see my point.

Time and time again, these draconian contracts get thrown out - what are you going to do, stop saying the phrase 'I googled it' ?

Idiot, it was a joke, get it - running Debian ARM... ON AN ACTUAL ARM.
Geesh.

Someone's going to hack this thing and put linux on it, probably the OpenWRT or NSLU2-Linux guys.

I once knew a girl who opened up her front side bus, and put some "non-Intel" things in it. It was pretty cool.
