I'd rather not have to assign an IP for my mouse, keyboard, digital camera/memory card reader, printer (that sits on a shelf above my monitor), monitor.
I'd also like to not have wires connected to the above and possibly my microphone, speakers (have bluetooth talk to the stereo?).
Typical... Haven't read the link. But if MS has misrepresented its treatment of private information, then it is against the new Privacy Act in Australia. Those living in Australia will have noticed the incredible number of companies going over the top in telling you how your information is handled, in an effort not to fall on the wrong side of the law. Perhaps the attorney general is required to prosecute this case?
yes, the good old: give them food and water, everything will be ok policy. Perhaps some education would help? No longer do communities have to rely on large numbers of offspring in the hopoe that some will survive. The consequence? Communities still produce a lot of offspring, they survive and produce lots more offspring (its the culture of survival, like SUV's and hollow-heads) leading to overpopulation (because the farming land has been devestated by war and drought). Don't assume that everyone in the world knows what you do. Saving a human life is only important if that human life knows how to live without imperishing other lives. Find me ONE human that does not live such that they imperish the lives of others (be they the third generation in the future, or the current).
Maybe if we allowed countries to produce medicines needed for their citizens at an affordable cost, we wouldn't need to resort to irradiating the carriers of disease. What do tsetse flies carry? Sleeping sickness. Is there a cure? Yes. Does the company that owns the patent produce the cure? No, it is not profitable. Can African countries produce it for themselves? No, it is patented and the risk severe backlash from the US if they want to break that patent (the US protecting the rights of its corporations through oppression? never.).
A cure for the disease exists, it is up to the people of the world to stand up and say that morality is more powerful than economic rationalism and profit. That and governments frittering away aid on corruption and war mongering.... but but does any government not fritter away money on war mongering and corruption?
They were one of, if not the first computer monopoly. Oh and they helped MS to its current state by giving it the monopoly in developing Windows... whilst niavely thinking that OS/2 could conquer the high end market.
Oh and don't SUN and APPLE have a monopoly status on their machines? I'm sure MS could have kept their monopoly if only they had been a bit nicer about it.

Did you read the message?
Let me spell it out: The grunts appraising the system getting $1M each to say that Linux sucks.
Isn't that exactly what the story stated was the reason for the introduction?

WiFi, networking.... Bluetooth, replacing wires.
Ne'er posted to /. before.... but that HAS to be the funniest short reply ever!
All bnet hast to do is allow pirated games to play on servers running its code. Tada, instant consequence to Blizzard.
