Also to a lesser extent the leap to high-def will be pretty big too. A lot of people with game systems have big TV's and the current generation looks like ass on them (as does the TV).
And why is Symbian wors than Microsoft's alternative?
I remember when MS said they were doing a phone all the jokes were "Blue Screen LOLOROTFLMAOLOLOL!!!!!" and "Virus OMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!", but it seems that in the end it is Symbian with the virus troubles.
If two jackasses beat the shit out of eachother, and everyone else needs to pay for their dentistry/broken noses it becomes clear that maybe people shouldn't be aloud to beat the shit out of eachother, consenting or not.
It's interesting that a lot of the examples of better movies are situations where one might realy not even consider reading the book.
It's been described as "un-american" to have not seen The Godfather, but the book though probably good in its own right is completly overshadowed and almost forgotten (I know of noone my age (23) who has read the book).
With Fight Club, a movie made from a book that did not permiate every bit of society got a lot of hype, and many people probably didn't realize it was even a book.
2 weeks later when it arrived it was missing all panties and swimsuits (and jewelry, but that wasn't supposed to be in there).
Good to knwo we have the best of the best checking our luggage.
Also, I always get extra checks (fly one way often for work). Every time I check into a hotel it is at least an hour ironing to undo the luggage inspectors damage. Considering that 2-way tickets booked in advance are cheaper then one way, and terrorists plan for years when they will strike it never makes me feel more secure and pisses me off.
Every time I open my bag and it says something to the effect of "for your convienience we searched your bag without you having to know about it" and I now have lots of ironing to do (instead of drinking at the bar) I vow never to fly again (but the train is just to slow).
I was warning poeple, it was idiotic, but I fell for it anyway.
It's a long story but penny-wise pound-foolish had me re-installing the server and I thought how could I go wrong with apt but also some newer packages.
Well I went really wrong, and wanted to explain it was not great for the server and desktop as the other poser implied. I actually hated it as a server, I had to add apt sorces to get command line tools I expected to have (I forget what exactly, maybe nmap). there was no compiler by deafault, and I was unable to get libdb installed (by apt or compilation) in such a way that netatalk would compile.
It was a mess for anything but desktop. And the console blew too with it defaulting to completly black and white with no color.
I wanted a "desktop" because I wanted cutting edge USB support, but that didn't seem any better then Mandrake's either. AI think USB must just still be a ways behind Windows still, I can live with that, but not toomuch longer.
I am not arguing with you, I agree 100%, but the great grandparent to this post implied otherwise, and I wanted to warn any other part time geek sysadmins from making my idiotic mistake (I am not and idiot, so other non-idiots may do the same).
Of course I fear the day when Europe reacts to us(US) the same way deciding we need them more then they need us (as our people think the same) and we get a dark age.
Or worse, with China after they start making literally 100% of everything we buy.
They EU is huge, we do need them bad, and China has a billion people working for basically nothing, for things to stay the way they are we need that too (I actually don't buy Chinese except for shoes where I can't find them made anywhere else).
I tried to use Ubuntu as a server and it was disasterous. We have a heavy use "workgroup" server at work that needs to run Netatalk 2.x (1.6.x did not play nice with OSX). I had to apt a whole bunch of packeges to get stuff ready, and some of them were from debian even.
In the end I was unable to get netatalk to compile, but I found an apt source for it (jones.dk). I install it and all is fine for about 12 hours, and then files turn into folders before peoples eyes. And everything someone clicked on would turn into the same folder. So someone decided to delete the duplicate and we lost it obviously.
Long stoy short, I went back to my Mandrake image where netatalk was hand compiled, but I am dying to have a distro where it comes from a package and I am not stuck with stuff in/usr/local and a custom init script. It is just Ubuntu is definatly not that distro.
The oft berrated Mandrake has been far better for me.
Also the only thing I do without the console is adding printers (never quite made sense to me, and they kept changing the system).
But I can't blame anybody for it, I baught a shuttle, and then spent another $100.00 and some time with a dremel to make it silent after putting in a new graphics card.
Of course they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The only reason we have game stores is because there is a sizable impulse buy market. Otherswise publishers would cut retailers out and get more profit.
Maybe they think they can get people to impulsivly buy pre-orders, but that seems a stupid bet to make.
If there is a specific game I want I will usually just order online, and I am sure I am not the only one.
Where I work they are for portability and not battery life.
In fact a Desktop that fit in a briefcase (with or maybe even without monitor) would be just as good (well 98%, kicking the power chord and not blacking your presentation for a minutes is worth a lot too, but 5 minutes battery should be enough).
You miss my point. The people making the money are not primarly the developers.
The service business model is great, but if you carry he burden of both developement and service you are at a disadvantage to someone who only has to do service.
Thus reselling the free truck for less money with service.
So say I built the trucks, and I get 75,000 from every non-free truck sold, what is to stop someone from taking free trucks and selling them for 100,000?
I say if their mission is truly something besides get rich/make money they should embrace that other mission.
They should look at their costs, and their income. Does it take locking something up 15 years that was probably trivial to come up with? (I don't mean the programming just the basic concept that is patented). How much of their cost is on patenting everything? That cost needs to be looked at too.
I would imagine cutting pay at the top to something that is still plenty high (speculating, maybe the top isn't paid too much), opening patents after a couple years, and being more restrained on what is actually patented would equal a prophitable company (though not as much so) that better fulfills its "mission".
Of course we know that it is all bullshit and aliviating suffering is not the companies mission at all, just a byprodoct.
yeah Dweight Yokel should expect me, and the other whatever percentage of the users that don't get this or don't even buy a new enough phone to be vulnerable to pay for him.
Maybe Dweight Yokel got a computer training lesson he won't forget, and for less money then a computer school.
Slashdot Mirror
liscense it, but do not outright sell it.
Arn't IBM's patents purly defensive? I would expect that means Tivo doesn't actually need them.
Have you seen a PS2 latly?
The leap from a PS2 will be huge.
Also to a lesser extent the leap to high-def will be pretty big too. A lot of people with game systems have big TV's and the current generation looks like ass on them (as does the TV).
what about toothing?
And why is Symbian wors than Microsoft's alternative?
I remember when MS said they were doing a phone all the jokes were "Blue Screen LOLOROTFLMAOLOLOL!!!!!" and "Virus OMG LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!", but it seems that in the end it is Symbian with the virus troubles.
I bet I can guess what your terms were...
That's right.
Many laws are to protect you economically from othe people who don't care.
I could say that laws against theft are restrictions on freedom for economic reasons.
I tend to agree that consenting adults should be able to fight, but there are reasons I see it could be illegel.
Perhaps it was turning out like a duel too often with someone badly maimed or dead, or should deling be legel too?
Perhapos things were spilling over and causing property damage.
Perhaps the British were less restrained then you Aussies and all too often someone would pull out a knife.
Law is not just to right a grievence, it is also to prevent them. Should I be alloud to drive while tripping just because I have not hit anybody yet?
How about drive through neighborhoods at 150 MPH?
In the UK isn't all medical care paid for?

it actualy comes to 4.7 (according to your link).
Upenn does it too!
and the buses are hella fast.
Some security guard is already getting their kicks from the theft.
I am not giving you enough details to get yours too, sorry.
My GF flew in from Paris and never got her bag.
2 weeks later when it arrived it was missing all panties and swimsuits (and jewelry, but that wasn't supposed to be in there).
Good to knwo we have the best of the best checking our luggage.

I strongly disagree.

I agree, it's style over cost all the way.
But I can't blame anybody for it, I baught a shuttle, and then spent another $100.00 and some time with a dremel to make it silent after putting in a new graphics card.
Maybe the publishers should stop pushing pre-orders too then.
Of course they are shooting themselves in the foot.
The only reason we have game stores is because there is a sizable impulse buy market. Otherswise publishers would cut retailers out and get more profit.
Maybe they think they can get people to impulsivly buy pre-orders, but that seems a stupid bet to make.
If there is a specific game I want I will usually just order online, and I am sure I am not the only one.
Probably hoped to get a 7 out of 10 review.
Works for the game makers anyway.
Depends what you do with your laptop.
Where I work they are for portability and not battery life.
In fact a Desktop that fit in a briefcase (with or maybe even without monitor) would be just as good (well 98%, kicking the power chord and not blacking your presentation for a minutes is worth a lot too, but 5 minutes battery should be enough).
Isn't 50Hz safer though?
I heard that 220V 50Hz is safer and more effecient then our 120 60 Hz.
I use Gaim and never see their terms of service.
So how can it apply to me anyway.
I would imagine they would be really taking a risk trying to use the stuff without permission.
You miss my point. The people making the money are not primarly the developers.
The service business model is great, but if you carry he burden of both developement and service you are at a disadvantage to someone who only has to do service.

How much money does Linus make off of Linux?
How about Stallman from GNU?
How does that compare to Redhat and SUSE?
I say if their mission is truly something besides get rich/make money they should embrace that other mission.
