this is the third article concerning microsoft today? At this rate, we will have 6 - 8 articles concerning MS by the end of the day. How wierd is that?
Now you finally understand how us Windows weenies feel about all the Linux articles on slashdot. Whew!
Let's see a comparable Linux installation run on the same setup (i.e. running X, KDE, Mozilla in memory). I mean, otherwise, with just a CLI version of Linux running, you might as well compare that to DOS in terms of resource usage.
Protesting by not purchasing fails when you can't find out about the thing you object to until after the purchase.
Yeah, well it's $10 a month for Sims Online, where the protests are supposed to be happening. These people could get a (real, not sim) life, and stop shelling out $10 a month.
...I could buy a top of the line custom built titanium bike and have money to spare. The bike would be smaller, lighter, cheaper, easier to maintain, not run out of power, go faster, access more places and give people exercise. Ooops! I said the nasty E word, exercise!
Seriously, it's amazing how much money can be made off of human laziness.
Do you own a car? Yes? Then please shut up.
People are willing to pay 5000$, along with the effort of maintaining these things, to not have to move their legs
I think people are willing to pay $5000 because the technology is cool, they can zip around from point A to B without expending too much energy, thereby allowing them expend more energy at points A and B, or hell, after work at the local pickup game of basketball.
In other words, maybe we all don't enjoy riding bikes?
However, do not deny the technology in it is very cool. In fact, the Amazon.com order page has a very nice semi-detailed overview of how everything works, with diagrams, etc.
I can't wait to try one of these one day when they come down in price.
That FAQ is new. I've been watching SA's site for a while now, even writing them asking about HD support, because they weren't real clear about it before. At least they finally updated.
By really honestly do you ever think how fucking shitty and miserable you to make someones existance before they happily blow themselves the fuck up?
I mean seriously man think about it.
Drop a 1 ton bomb that america payed for out of a jet doesn't take much but to actually strap bombs and yourself and blow your own ass up, do you realize how fucked things have to be for a human being to do that?
You want to know what's REALLY fucked up? Praying to a god that thinks it's perfectly fine to kill innocent people along with yourself. Worshipping a god that tells you you will go to the best part of heaven if you only kill the infidels as a martyr.
Please don't make these stupid-ass suicide bombers out to be some sort of down-trodden heros. These are religious whack-jobs that have no sense of morality.
And I'm not saying this as a Christian, because I'm not. Nor as a jew, because I'm not. I'm a moral agnostic.
And if your god is telling you to kill other people, your religion is a FUCKING JOKE.
Moxi looks awesome. One of Digeo's partners is Scientific Atlanta. TimeWarner's digital cable boxes (most of them) are built by this company. In fact, the new "DVR" that TimeWarner is releasing soon is Scientific Atlanta's Explorer 8000. And from what I've read, it sucks (right now).
Which leads me to ask, why doesn't TimeWarner wait for ScientificAtlanta's Moxi-based device? I mean, TW is pushing HD in several markets, and yet the Explorer 8000 doesn't even support HD (even though the literature says it does... check the wiring diagrams, no HD).
Hopefully they will offer Moxi soon. I love my TiVo, but a sweet device like Moxi, integrated with my digital cable service, combined with HD support equals TV HEAVEN.
Israel and Palestine do the same shit to each other. But we label attacks by Palestine terrorism. BS. Both countries engage in it, we just support one of them.
I must be watching a different news show, reading a different newspaper than you. What happens is some palestinian nut job comes into Israel, blows himself up, and tries to take as many innocent lives as possible. Then after this provocation, Israel attempts to either assassinate the people involved with the planning of the attacks, or take out their entire neighborhood with tanks.
Here's a good question: How many Israeli suicide bombers have you read about?
It's not terrorism when you're responding to an attack, and trying to localize your response to the perpetrators.
Besonic [besonic.com] is the online record-label replacement.
Sorry, I'm not talking about underground music only. I want to also be able to buy mainstream music in open, digital formats, track-by-track (hell even whole CD's if they reduce the price and leave the formats open).
Until the major labels are involved, it won't be that successful. People like Creed, DMB, Pearl Jam, Korn, REM, Billy Joel, U2, NIN, Live, Radiohead, No Doubt, Weezer, the Cranberries, etc. They want to buy this music in open, digital file formats. They are telling the labels this by buying MP3 players, listening to music so much on their computers that they resort to downloading the songs for free, even though it's a pain in the ass to find music most of the time, P2P hype notwithstanding.

Well, you could do one of these things:
(a) Use Mozilla instead.
(b) Change IE to browse in high security mode for all internet sites, except those in your Trusted Sites zone.
(c) Spend $100 and get yourself a computer that can run something beyond Win95???
(d) Stop surfing the internet. You don't need porn THAT badly.
They're called "books". And unless you burn them, they generally have a 0% failure rate.
Did you write this post to slashdot on a book or a computer?
Understand?
Investigate the movie October Sky.
This is what would happen in a libertarian society.
That second movie is especially exciting.
"NOVEMBER SKY" doesn't translate into anything nearly as cool as "ROCKET BOYS."
I mean, according to anagram science, Carmack should have been asking his girl to "SERVE MY KNOB."
You guys slashdotted Ron.
You must be actually ingesting feces in the first place if it's only taking an hour to go through your system. Seriously.
Let's see Windows XP run on a 386 with 8M ram.
Let's see a comparable Linux installation run on the same setup (i.e. running X, KDE, Mozilla in memory). I mean, otherwise, with just a CLI version of Linux running, you might as well compare that to DOS in terms of resource usage.
Nice FUD Bill.
Nice FUD yourself.
I don't know what's funnier: a slashdotter with a girlfriend, or the fact that you use your middle finger for the wheel. (WHO DOES THAT?)
No, sorry, there is NO way you are excreting solid food you ate one hour before!
You have got serious problems if you are shitting out food you just ate one hour before.
Are you, perhaps, lacking a stomach and small intestine?

You're getting a Tablet PC!
Don't like it, don't buy it.

Which part of that says it supports HD?

Clearly he uses Windows. I've never seen good speech recognition software on Linux.

The big deal is because the company is owned by Paul Allen of Microsoft. The article does mention TiVo.
So don't complain if you cant get signal in doors. You should have bought a larger phone....
Ah hah! And to think my friends laughed at me when I bought my new cell phone!
