Because that's not how Amazon works. Just because someone had a bad experience with a particular seller doesn't mean that you'll even get it from the same merchant. You're supposed to review the product. If you want to review the seller, then you do so after you finish the transaction with them. Amazon doesn't make this clear enough, in my opinion,
When outages cost you millions of dollars per minute, you're willing to spend the money on having a well-tested walled garden. This isn't appropriate for every business case, but there are definitely those who need that level of reliability.
Acually, the turbo button was for slowing down the computer. You left it in turbo mode all the time, unless you needed to run some poorly-written software that required the lower clock speed.

Wow...I'm not really sure what to say. I created a comment yesterday, and the message ID for it is no longer found. It didn't portray this new section in a positive light, so perhaps the powers that be removed it? If that's the case, slashdot has gotten a LOT worse than I previously imagined.
This is crap. I mean that seriously - I've been here for over a decade, and this is the first time I'm actually concerned for the future of the site. Not in the way that it will "run out of funding and close", but in a way that all the readers who make/. what it is will vanish.

This is the most appropriate "Redundant" moderated post I've ever seen.
It's especially fun trying to hit it from a laggy VNC connection.
Wow...that guy was trolling ArsTechnica a decade ago. Interesting to see that s/he is still up to their old tricks.

Well said, Bruce. Work-life balance is one of those things that you begin to appreciate more as you get older.
