I'm not complaining, but at $1,499, can't they fit a bigger hard drive in it? A 80GB drive goes for about $20 more than a 10GB drive nowadays, so if they put a 120GB drive in there, it would raise the price to about $1,519. The small additional cost seems worth it to me.
Or, at the very least, make it a removable hard drive. Then we can spend the $1,499 and throw away the built-in drive without feeling like we're wasting much money.
But, the built-in scale&dither likely does its scaling&dithering before JPEG compression. Photoshop cannot, as it's already compressed when you transfer it to your computer.
Good for you. I'm usually not for sticking up for Microsoft, but this really does seem harmless. If the Open Source crowd bitches and moans every time Microsoft comes up with a new feature that really is helpful (like this seems to be), they'll eventually stop adding new helpful features.
Someday, they won't even try to disguise the fact that they're collecting "private data" because they know we're going to cry wolf regardless if it's harmful/invasive or not.
Will I be able to plug Vim into it as the editor? Personally, I don't think I could get any work done using any other editor, or at least similar keybindings.
Lindows, (www.lindows.com) has a name that in itself is genius. It's software that combines Linux and Windows without violating any trademark or copyright--although I bet Microsoft will sue at some point.
If the encryption were actually based on ping times, you're right, this would definately not work. But, it doesn't have to be. It does bring up a fairly good idea that, to my knowledge, has not been successfully implemented.
Why does an encrypted message have to be sent all at the same time, and therefore by the same route? If you were to split a message into an arbitrary number of pieces, with each one getting to its destination through a slightly different route, it might be a little more difficult to intercept.
Slashdot Mirror
It should be pointed out that they have no plans of rewriting the entire site in PHP.
Click on the "Early Adopters" section near the bottom:
Most Y! properties integrating slowly
- no plans to rewrite entire site
So "Moving to PHP" could be a bit misleading.
Don't forget Six.
That happened in Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Just put this:in your ~/.inputrc. Tab-completion will then ignore case.
When I read this story on the front page, this is what caught my eye...
microsoft blah blah..

Much like Streptococcus != Staphylococcus.
Best(must-sell-service-plans-to-all)Buy
That reminds me of a funny experience the other day at Best Buy. I went in just to look around and ended up only buying a Mountain Dew.
Believe it or not, they asked if I wanted a service plan! I assume it was simply out of habit, but funny all the same.

Seems like they've got what you're looking for.
Be careful. It's not exactly capitolism, it's tax dollars. Specifically, *your* tax dollars.
Now how do you feel about it?
I'm with you. First of all, who knew about this MP3 server except the employees of the company, and of them, who would squeal?
Sounds like the RIAA is trying to scare us to me.
Actually,

kibi == 1024

Have you considered a Wiki system? phpwiki has been working really well for our office for a while now.

apt-get won't return successful without the "apt-get -f install" in between iterations. Sometimes, anyway :)
This might work though:
until apt-get dist-upgrade; do echo "One more time"; apt-get -f install; done;
Actually Woody is classified as "testing", Sid is "unstable".
GNU = "Gnu's Not Unix"
while (1) {
$count = $count+2;
print "Actually, $count words, counting Not Unix."
}
Recursive acronyms suck.

This whole situation really is comical.

Shouldn't the headline be

Don't we usually wait until at the very least beta to announce that "project x 4.0 is released!"?
I'm sorry, but I don't think an alpha release of anything warrants a front-page posting on Slashdot. Wait until it really is four point oh.
