If that bozo couldn't guess that what he said violated an NDA then he's a 'tard that deserves to be fired. I mean, that's just basic common sense there.
Not only was the post trolling, there is a good chance the original article was the same. The lack of information there is amazing.
Quicken has two bill pay services built-in to the product. Once is what you use to synchronize with your bank or other financial institutions. This service does not communicate through Intuit. The OTHER service is Quicken's online BillPay, much like the Yahoo BillPay service where Intuit is actually generating the ACH transaction and so forth. If Intuit breaks the former, then they are definitely being scummy. But, if the latter, that is really questionable. That is a service they are offering and its separate from the product itself.

There are some really good, new-technology phones out there that aren't filled with every "me-to" gadget. I got tired of the junk in my Nokia 3650, so the phone after that was an LG4400 (I think that was the model #). It has flawless voice quality, no camera, no web browsing, no Java. It does have text messaging, a modern color display, etc., but it's "just a phone."
Of course most Slashdotters don't have extreme hardware, they're all too busy working for free or pondering the great evils of the capitalist world to have money to spend on hardware.:-)
I've always get between 2-5 MPG less than the EPA ratings in my cars. I can get the EPA ratings, but only if I don't speed. None of this surprises me given how the tests are performed and what criteria they use for city (urban) and highway (extra-urban) loops.
Now what is interesting, but not really surprising, is I get the best gas mileage from my V8s. They work a lot less than the 6s and 4s I've had when you get on the highway [car body design is a great factory in this, obviously:)]
It seems the submitter forgot that the "best" PVR is already running Linux...

In the US, it's the same thing. Certainly not all cell phone markets have phones with it yet, etc., but it's getting there.
I think the fact that car manufactures are including it in their cars for wireless handsfree cell phone use is a big sign. To me, this IS the killer app for BlueTooth. I no longer am stuck with a Motorola StarTac (or whatever) just because that's what the car manufactured decided to use years ago.
The 2004 Toyota Prius, 2004 BMW 5 series, 2004 Dodge Ram, and 2004 Acura TL are the car models I know that already have it.
It's almost in the dealerships now. It's an amazing vehicle. They've really improved on the old Prius and made it basically as good as a regular car now.
It's now as large as a regular Camry. It gets better mileage. The batteries are smaller and cheaper. It has more power. It's 2 seconds faster 0-60. It has options for navigation, keyless start and entry, AND BlueTooth! And all that, and the base price is still $19,995.
I'm a "give me all the power you can and screw gas mileage" guy and I want to get one of these just because it's got some cool tech in it.
There is a type of person who likes to panic. You couple that with the herding instrinct, and you get articles like this. You'll see the same story with the same people with extreme enviromentalism: all panic without real, testable science.
There isn't a shortage. NAT and firewalls have fixed it short term, and perhaps even for the long-term. If we really do start to have a shortage, then good old economics will take over and innovations (such as the IPv6 already planned, but my guess is not) will win out very quickly.
Maybe if we all pronounce it dead, the weak and idotic that joined the fray during the boom will go find other careers and let the real engineers do some work.
It amazes me that this community always bitches about companies for almost any decision they make. Never are they able to look from another point of view and see why a decision was reached and if it was valid or not.

I found it annoying/interesting that a Maxtor Atlas 10K III 73GB U160 drive to be almost twice as fast as my WD 1000BB 7200RPM 100GB ATA100 drive. Grr.
Wasn't NeXTStep a true distributed operating system? I seem to recall reading that even the OS's memory manager could be running on a separate node... but I could be recalling wrong.
EA is planning on publishing all of their games in a DVD-style box starting later this year. Perhaps other game publishers will follow suit, and then hopefully all software publishers will do so, where appropriate.

Whatever the details are, I'm sure it is just another good opportunity for the /. crowd to bitch about US President Bush. It is his fault, afterall.
Ready... set.... go!
Here's another hint: not every Java Developer looks at the development world the same.
I've never met any of the Java developers that slashdot likes to use as the stereotype, for example.
Here's a hint: Paul Graham's view of the development world is fairly myopic.

Yeah, really. Outside of the slashdot "elite" no one gives a rat's ass about Ogg.

Their process is 85% efficient. 100 BTU's of biomass input takes 15 BTU's to process.

If it is an April Fool's hoax, they went through a LOT of trouble to do it well.
Damn, you slashdot geeks are a whiney, negative bunch. No wonder none of you have jobs.
Why don't you move to somewhere else in the country and actually put your energy to use.
The glory days of the tech boom are over; no longer will companies hire people that can breath as the only qualification to do technology work.
If you can't get a job right now, I suggest you find another career, because there are plenty of jobs out there.
This explains perfectly why my HP stock is in the toilet. Their engineers suck.
You speak words of wisdom.
