a couple of years ago, ms came out with windows starter edition which was limited, made the headlines as an attempt to combat piracy and linux. was a cute attempt to block competition with a limited almost worthless cut down version of the real thing.
Eventually, they will keep slowly losing market shares because of increased openoffice (and other suites) compatibility.
of course their dominance will keep for a while because they are still market leader, but I think it will fade as compatibility increases. Ironically, the same thing will happen to office as what happened with lotus... lotus started losing market shares because excel started reading lotus files... it's funny to have that bite them back (not with lotus) yearslater
you mean it isnt? Dont tell me they dont speak 50 languages (mm, that was jason bourne), that they don't keep doing synchronized stunts day long, over and over with people semi flying in the air to save the world from doom every day with cute gadgets like invisible cars (mmm, that was james bond)?
man, I'm so disappointed... what are they going to say next? if people keep at this rate, soon they're gonna say santa claus doesnt exist!
generally yes, but I can't wait for cars with the option where the car says, "duuude, you're to drunk get behind the wheel... I know you, you're gonna try to get me on 2 wheels again to go through that pedestrian only tiny street. for my safety, I'm driving!!!":)
lol, for the fun I make that claim, all systems of humanity will eventually fail, we're doomed. Ask anyone.
Religious people will talk about armageddon type of events Physicists will talk about our solar system collapsing, the universe "blowing up" eventually Historians will talk about the rise and fall of civilisations flskdjflisks will talk about ââlzkjikjrlzkejzrzrz
heck, ask the assyrians, we found a tablet 5000 years ago that said the end of the world is near
We're all doomed! Of course, I think I still have time for a confortable diner before that;)
wake me up when they do an intergalactic voyage with an FTL drive to see the evolution of life across the universe... darn, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to sleep a long time:)
Lately yes, but most of them (including Linus) started their Linux involvment as a hobby. As a matter of fact, before redhat, there wasnt much commercial about linux.. and it was awesome as a system... very complete too
Seriously, am I the only one who read the article and thought... oh nice, at last a major TV innovatio, it is really going to change... thinking of the 3D TV in the movie paycheck.... then, when they realized it was another 3D glasses version, yawned... lemme guess, they're going to commercialize it, make it terribly expensive, no one will buy them... and they'll wonder why so they'll blame the economy or voodoo forces if need be.
I'm wondering it the billions of tiny mirrors in the bathrooms all around the world all contribute to the fight on global warming. in that case, let's make pocket mirrors mandatory for guys too, if 6 billion of people regularely look themselves in the mirror several times a day, they will reflect some of the light... and it'll help people with with their self esteem (most at least, a minority will get scared)
Lol I believe copy-right does expire when you die (cant reproduce)... privacy seems to expire too eventually with archeologists digging prehistoric tombs:)

Especially attractive passengers of the opposite sex wearing sexy clothes... not that it would affect much slashdot drivers (if and when they drive)
