Amiga 1000. HP Integral. Neither of which did extensive hardware discovery. A LiveCD (and the Windows 98 boot disk) doesn't know what hardware it's going to find. It probes for everything it has drivers for.
I've been working on the Macbook Pro since it's been out, and it doesn't work worth a damn for me. You should go to an Apple Store and have the local Genius teach you how to use it. It's so simple, even a slashdotter should be able to figure it out.
If you are following the science, that's great. The GP has no issue with that. He simply implies that if you follow the religion, you are an idiot. I agree with him.
(unfortunately named VistA) I can see why the state of the VA health system would worry you so much. Anyone who considers it "unfortunate" that a health system happens to share the name of a bad MS OS is in need of deep psychological help. Really, you shouldn't be allowed near a computer for your own good.
Yes, you are correct. When 10.6 (or the first version to drop PPC) is released, the Apple Mafia will come by your place and destroy your current Mac. It was in the EULA, so you have to let them do it!
Will you idiots stop posting crap information like this?
Opera was NOT the first graphical browser to use tabs. To my knowledge it was GNNBrowser (which also went under other names), which I used in 1993-94 on Windows 3.1.
I don't know what you consider a large business, but where I am, Dell provides the PCs (and laptops) with the company image pre-installed. There is no reinstall needed, nor are they counted as XP (and soon to be Vista) sales. We have a site-license.
The number of licenses used are, of course, tracked. But I am sure that's true for your business as well.
Ford Motor is planning to upgrade desktops to Vista. No large corporation switches overnight, but don't fool yourself into thinking that it's not going to happen at all.
Supporting the invasion of Iraq because they might have had WMDs is simply rediculous. Iraq was about oil from day zero, and only die-hard idiots ever thought or think otherwise. There are other hostile countries that have or are developing WMDs, and the US has never even hinted at war. Wonder why that would be.
When you connect as a Unix user, samba will spawn a process that runs as that user. The root process still needs to run as root to be able to do this. All daemons which must assume other EUIDs work this way.
Samba will spawn a process that runs as a configured (by default: nobody) user when the connecting user isn't a local (or NIS, ldap, etc) account. Again, it needs to start off as root in order to do this.
You are wrong. It appears most slashdotters have a rabid and unreasoning hatred of all things Microsoft. MS could replace the NT kernel with Linux or BSD and the same people here would still complain that it was unstable.
Reporters are often willing to defy Law Enforcement in order to protect a source. And in a vast majority of cases will be vindicated by the Courts for doing so. Going to a reporter would have been the best way to handle this. Perhaps the WSJ or NY Times. Papers that are read by financial investor-type people.
Anybody in a company that doesn't thinking their data is valuable, should be sent walking, immediately. I bet TJX takes the security of their data VERY seriously. But what was leaked was your data. That's not important.

Worth about 8.4 million, right?
MS did nothing of the sort. They bet on .Net, which is most definitely not a public standard.

That takes time. Period.
When I can buy a Focus with the interior of a Jaguar, your analogy might make sense.
Since that's not going to happen, what the hell are you talking about?
How is that racist? Are Japanese not "Jap"s? I could see that it is derogatory, but racist?

Why do you think all AGW proponents are the same?

I think the GP meant that most people would by a $5 alarm clock that uses about a watt, instead of wasting an entire PC for the task.
He was also trying to be funny.

It's because most such people are using elite to mean snobbish. The two often coincide, but as you point out, not by definition.
In what way was Saddam an enemy in the sense of being a danger to the US? Should we bomb Venezuela into the ground because Chavez hates the US too?
The US ignores the UN whenever it wants also, should we let Europe invade us?

Taxes are not the only way Government causes money to move from one entity to another.
Faxed copies of documents are legally binding, scanned+printed are not. Blame the law that hasn't caught up yet.

Was that a "wooosh!" you just heard?
You must have gone through extraordinary measures to disable both of Windows' recovery mechanisms. Seems silly to complain in that case.

Opera didn't invent tabbed-browsing.
