Holy cow! That's a pretty serious allegation. The article provides a reference at that point. But the reference is a link to somebody's Yahoo mail Inbox. Huh??? In my world, that's not an acceptable standard of evidence. Particularly since it's not even publicly available
There's something screwed up with the hyperlinks in the superscripts (all of them). But if you scroll down all the way to the references, then number 11 references to: http://www.blackgenocide.org/negro.html, a legit (if somewhat right-leaning) website.
We're back to the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none situation here.
With the amount of new technology and features in search engines today, their original purpose is becoming less and less efficient.
For example: on my old Google v0.1, I pushed the 'Down' button until I found the search engine box I wanted, then I typed in my search term and pressed the 'Go' button and it found my term. No difficulties there.
On my new, all-singing-all-dancing Google monstrosity, I must look for the search box, whisk past 'News' and 'Camera' to find 'Search', type in my search term, then press 'Go'.
I can grasp that some people want to be able to read the headlines and check the weather, send that information to their friends, read the news while searching, etc etc etc... Now, in this technologically oriented world, we are inundated with sites that do one job supremely well -- I had a Google for search, a Yahoo for webmail, a BBC for news.. Why is finding a site that just searches such a difficulty?
I installed this this morning, and to my surprise, the 2nd or 3rd time I started the app, it started asking for an activation key and said I had 15 days to trial the software. Clicking on the 'Buy...' button took me back to the Picasa 2 web page.
Anyone else see this? Anyone knows what's happening???
That's fine - since I'm a non-filthy investor, I'm going to pass up on this IPO, wait until the price crashes to price more justifiable, at a more realistic ratio, and then buy.
If you were to take my recommendation (which you have no reason to), you wouldn't buy GOOG.
Most universities (well at least the one I graduated from) would have an approved list of calculators, and you have to get your calculator certified before the exams. Calculators which don't have the ceritification sticker would result in the candidate being asked to leave the hall...
And last time I checked - I haven't heard of any sel respecting examiner who would allow mobile phones and pagers into his exam hall.
Wait a minute - assuming you earn, say $60000, that's $5000 per month, or $50 worth of time the company is donating per month per employee. Multiply that by maybe 100 (?) employees, and that's $5000 per month. Not a small amount.
Even if it's 40 hours, you're not going to spend 24 mins every week doing charity - you may spend 3 hours on company time every 2 months.
I guess this allows the company to organise charity programs that it feels suits its own philosophy and knows where its $$ are going.
Incorrect - if 25,000 get it, there's much more chance that not all of those 25,000 are going to get the treatment they need. The treatment that has kept the mortality rate to 4%.
Remember that the number of cases in most affected countries is still under 200 - a number that's much more easily manageable under the public health system than 25,000.
If the mortality rate now goes up to 10% because they haven't got the required treatment, that's 2,500 people. Or worse.
First off Slashdot is not Linuxdot. I think that over the years, there is a fair number of OS's represented here, including (horrors!) Windows. Remember "News for Nerds"? There are other OS nerds too you know!
Have you ever considered that maybe one of the reasons Microsoft technologies are so popular is that people actually like them? MS is a company - what is so wrong in their trying to make some money? What they are doing (as your post details) is extending their empire, and this has succeeded in making computing USABLE for END-USERS. Not hackers. Granted, their handling of the Netscape thing was not in any way justifiable. I am merely responding that whatever you have posted here does not make sense.
If you really want MS to have a decent competition, get off your backsides and create it. Linux / *BSD are great operating systems, but as far as usability is concerned, they suck! Both on a desktop as well as a server admin front. Not every company out there is going to be able to hire the local Unix god for administration. There are some tasks that can easily (and as powerfully) be done from a GUI. Develop those for the free OS's, and get some support structures in place that companies can rely on. Then we'll see.
Well, it might surprise you but we're looking at this. I work at a largish airline, and we are one of the 'six airlines' quoted in the article. We are seriously looking at putting an 802.11 network in our First and Business classes. There is a vendor who is already marketing an FAA approved radio [or so they tell us]. We do have in-seat power adapters...
On the topic of email, passengers are likely to have two levels of service, one with instant delivery, using satellite comms [read expensive], and the second, using cached delivery - the email is only sent on when the aircraft has landed at an airport. Granted the latter is only useful if you're on a multi-leg journey, and the airport you've landed at is capable of receiving the emails from the aircraft. But we're getting there. Give it a couple of years.
Yes, RedHat installs too much crap. But it's considerably easier to uninstall software after installation than to have to explicitly install things like bash.
You're kidding right??????!!!!! I so much prefer FreeBSD's install model [which is probably similar to Slackware's, I guess], where you can explicitly specify which packages you want installed. I just installed RH6.1 and was appalled at the crap it installed without asking me. Or did I miss something along the way? --KN

Um you did - that should have been "let's hope". :)

My 2 cents.

Not a bad idea, imho.
Well it's a good thing you didn't throw up the contents of your cache. I'm not sure I want to see what you've been eating...
Well, if you can pay for this, then Adobe has an online service which allows you to create PDFs online from a variety of file types. Might help...

That puts a different perspective on things.
slashdot's getting slooooowww...

(Yes, I do listen to the news on the radio)
um... wouldn't he be a moon Bass then? :)

Second, what's your point?
