I tried Gentoo, hated it.:( I am no newbie either. Its just, They patch anything and everything without any regard for side effects, I have had 4 different boxes corrupt a filesystem with gentoo. Then I said, thats it. I have had enough. Bye.
If you tell me that there isnt a system that the worst can happen, I had a deal that you could make 10,000 at home.
I can see that the media industry (maggots) will have a plan for you to have a 500gb/sec connection and your machine will be a thin client to a server at the RIAA HQ (If it is not already destroyed), Cant to much about copyright 'protection' now could we?
As In, If you want a 500gb/sec pipe you have to run one of our thin clients. This pipe will only work with it. No PCs will be able to use it because of Encryption, authentication etc.....
Ever since the Dot-Bomb, people are beginning to realize that the internet is not for 'play time'. Sure, you can find more Porn and weblogs here than anywhere else. But increasingly there has been a need for remote access into your companies machines. EMail, E-Signatures, and other electronic anomolies have become legally binding.
But that is not all....
What else could you expect, the internet has grown-down to a commodity internet from an educational network, then grown-sideways to a monopolistic, control-your-lives, all-your-minds-are-belong-to-media internet. So you see, its all about Theft, Porn, and Work. Welcome to the USA.
"Right now, the system is in a very confused state," Allchin said during the demonstration. "It's definitely not well right now."
Hmm, So what is different? Mine is never well and always confused.
Really Though, What is seperating the browser going to do? They need to publish all their APIs and Document formats. That is the only thing thats holding back. Windows isn't dominant because of windows, it's dominant because of office.
It funny how many weird/dumb law we have, in this case (no pun intended, lack thereof).
What are we to do? Well What can we do. The Law is the law, and creating a law for this specific incident would be a little rediculous. Oh well You win some you lose some, unless you are a citizen, then you only lose. (Yes! not LOOSE like some of you spell it)
Yes however good intentioned your post may be you are comparing two different things.
Microsoft Passport is a method of storing personal information that can potentially be used to profile your spending habits, income, lifestyle. Not to mention selling your identity by help desk personnel at microsoft.
Slashdot is an open forum that readers Willingly express their opinion. There is no reason to cancel a Slashdot account.
What if you dont want Microsoft to hold your information against your will because of a 'technical limitation' That is, frankly, bullshit.
I wonder what this would do....

To cheating.
They do the same thing with ultima online and as far as I know you can report a cheater and get their account terminated.
This might be good for cheating since there will now be a central place to report cheating.
No POP Email,
This used to be the whole reason to get an ISP because there were no free POP servers. Great.
I dont want to be looking at web-based email all day.
Slashdot Mirror
Although he seems to be doing both...
Remember the oregon assisted suicide?
And email is the only thing that really caught on........
I whole heartedly agree, GNOME looks just horrible. The widgets dont go together, there are 100 dependencies... wtf.
KDE is the future, indeed.
Why do you think they did that.
With such a good show, you cant meet the viewers expectations. Seinfeld didnt even try.
Except its mauve :)... but funny
I tried Gentoo, hated it. :(

I went into best buy the other day,
A big poster in the Computer Department that says:
"I bought my computer at best buy, now I can download music from the internet and put it on a cd to listen in my car" (Or something like that).
Great.
One day in the not-so-distant-future..... Everything will be a vending machine: Television, Roads, Your own computer, printers, car radio, your car.
Everything will be a pay-per-use thing and it is disgusting. Full of greed and corruption.
You can thank your corrupt (puppet) senators for providing us with this wonderful new system.
-s
Ahh, Ok Sorry :-)
Remeber the dates.
I dont think you would have wanted to use any machine back then...
I can see that the media industry (maggots) will have a plan for you to have a 500gb/sec connection and your machine will be a thin client to a server at the RIAA HQ (If it is not already destroyed), Cant to much about copyright 'protection' now could we?

I am a Citizen. I pay my taxes, I go to work, I try to trust my government that they will do the right thing.
This is complete HORSESHIT to say that I cannot do what I want with the computer I Paid for.
This is called corruption.
-----------
corruption
n 1: lack of integrity or honesty; esp susceptibility to bribery; use of a position of trust for dishonest gain.
HELLO commerce committee, you are corrupt and terrible people and should have NO PLACE ON EARTH TO REPRESENT ANYONE.
Mod Parent Up UP UP!!!
This may be the only way that the american public will see this is through ads... Provided people even look at them anymore, I know I dont.
Im with you. Although there are Similar bills that are being passed elsewhere, like in the EU.
Canada has a Privacy Commissioner, Im going there.

Then you become a passive citizen.
Where would we be now had it not been for monopolistic labor unions fighting standard oil et al. in the late 1800's?
Out of luck anyways because OpenVMS will only run on an alpha and VAX architectures, with Itanium Planned. -sy
OpenVMS has the most robust, and fastest clustering ability I have ever seen . I just cant wait until linux can do this.

They didnt change anything with the service, they changed the machine its on. This isnt 'failure'.
Actually.. It made perfect sense.
