Seriously, there was this one game I used to play years back where two numbers would pop up, if you added them correctly your little gun would blast some aliens that were running down a hall towards you. These weren't nice looking aliens either, it really made you want to add!
Been there, tried that. Took me two days to getting it running correctly. I finally narrowed the issue down to one thing...Vista. I had to install it in safe mode, and modify a registry entry just to download the latest patch for my gf. It would probably run better in Linux through wine. I shoulda tried that first.
before you post, stop and think for a minute..."Have I ever logged onto someone's unencrypted wireless?"
I realize this is not quite the same, but the idea is if you leave giant gaping security holes, someone somewhere is going to exploit them. The US is lucky this guy found the hole and not some angry terrorist, or chinese/russian hacker with a beef against the West. Now that would have made for an interesting case. This guy's actions are the equivalent to you logging on to your neighbours unencrypted wireless, and them being nice enough to go over and tell them, and maybe even help them put the password on.
As the saying goes "No harm, no foul", and the only harm done was that the US had to fix it's own security. Tough having to admit your a bunch of idiots I guess.
And I would like to see someone hack one. LOL. Can you imagine walking down the street and seeing some guy suddenly freak out because his wearable computer started blaring music and showing totse images?
As far as demand goes...I demand to own one of these...I mean really, the concept is just awesome, I can level up characters in all my favourite games while driving to work! Heck, I could play GTA while driving to work (as long as I don't mix up which eye is the game). What could possibly go wrong?
Palm made me smile by waving their middle finger shaped update at Apple. Therefore I will buy a Palm. If only so I can laugh at the over zealous apple fanbois and say "Hey! I can use iTunes cause Apple can't lock me out!" And them watch them splutter in rage and spit out (admittedly likely true) excuses.
Just so long as you realize that a Macbook Pro costs around $1800, and is running around $800 of hardware. So that makes OSX a $1000 operating system. Now I know there will be the fan boys out there who will claim otherwise (or worse, claim that its worth that much). But 200 isn't really that bad when you break it down.
A computer which is frequently powered on and off wears through components much more quickly (thermal stress). A computer that is running 24/7 does not. Better yet, a computer that is off 24/7 has no issues at all.
Just stick with Dell stuff, that solves the problem of it moving when you look at it, cause shortly it won't move at all! It'll feel like a brick, so it won't be too light! If you've moved your hand away from the keyboard...well we all know what your actually doing, but calling it programming is a novel idea anyway!

OMG, someone needs to make this into a wallpaper!
Unless they're made from MJ's hair...

Does anyone else see the irony in sending a bunch of computer nerds to camp, and charging them a nice even binary number to do it?
No kidding, or maybe Vista SP3 (codenamed 7), except I have to pay for a working version of an OS I purchased in the first place.
ROFL! Moraelin FTW! Mod parent up!

And will it be available as a torrent?

Of course they can, you just have to stitch them together after...
a product that requires old software versions and tweaks to even work...
Is that I run Linux, old software and tweaks is how I survive.
What about the best Windows version of all...Windows CEMENT!!

More importantly...will it blend?
Finally I can get my hands on some sweet, sweet, Radaway!
Why be a cracker hacker, or a cracker cracker, when it could have been a soda cracker. Let's see them prosecute that!
So if they let you get to step 2 (also known as ???) then they can jail you to prevent the profit??!!?? But the meme!!!!
Wait wait wait...can someone please explain how the first post to the article was modded redundant? That just doesn't make sense to me...

I wonder what Google's OS boot time is...

A chart? Please. This is /. We all know that people only respond to car analogies.
