The top 500 company I worked for did just the opposite: Destroy all data in case a legal issue comes up. They called it 'desk cleanout day', and unless you were an official dedicated contact on a particular subject you were to wipe all correspondence of more than a year old.
(There were also other grades of information, but erase after a year was the default).
So we see countries competing on price of their environment. I understand that one may have ethical problems with the effects, but isn't the current capitalist dogma that corporations must behave unethically if that improves the short term stock price?
tfa: Right now, we do not have OpenGL support but will be working to release it soon
I've been using Nuvison and Crystaleyes glasses for about 8 years with the Linux NVidia drivers; How did they manage to not have that in their new product?
Lenovo clearly doesn't wish to be one, except perhaps in markets where there's a different expectation of quality & support or where piracy is acceptable.
That last remark sounds illogical, in markets where piracy is acceptable Linux would not be an obvious choice. It would take more effort to make an illegal version of Linux than to distrubute it legally.
I think it is more likely that Lenovo has chosen to exclusively target markets where piracy is the preferred mode of software distribution.
Just checking the 28 september 1776 issue. It appears that parliament has forbidden any dealing with the colonies of New Hampfhire, Maffachufett's Bay, Rhode Ifland, Connecticut, New York, New Jerfey, Penfylvania...
I am curious about OCR fearch engine refults on this publication.
You didn't read TFP:
What is claimed is:...
2. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving a command indicative of a page-based incremental scroll request comprises receiving a Page Up command...
And further down:....
This operation occurs on receiving specific user input, e.g., a Page Up or Page Down key command.
So this patent really claims the use of the Page Up key to move a page upwards by a specific amount. I think I'm going to patent a method to insert an 'e' into a digital text by pressing the 'e'-key on a keyboard.
It is a great mystery just why the Kremlin continues to support Ingushetia's current administration.
No it isn't. Ingushetia borders on Georgia, a country for which the foreign minister of Russia has just decreed the necessity of a regime change.
...What makes you think it would be a good idea to have unmotivated people vote when they obviously have no interest and, more than likely, no understanding, of the issues involved?
Now that's a good question for a poll. Here are some possible answers:
1 - This is slashdot, having understanding of the issues is not required
2 - In soviet Russia the government has interest in you
3 - In a democracy the stupid and disinterested are also represented.
4 -...
5 - Profit!
Emotional or not; it's an argument provided by Microsoft in the get the facts campaign.
You cannot simultaneously claim that switching to non-Microsoft costs more, because of the salaries involved and claim that it doesn't create more income for IT workers.
Seriously. I love to explain jokes. Lloyds is a plc.
Go search for antropo and see what
to offend means. Now try to imagine an offended Plc.
And hand in your geek card.
Now in this case, the choice of the password might be deemed offensive
When you think a 'plc.' can be offended you are antropomorphizing abstract legal entities. Don't do that; they really hate it.
You clearly haven't completely grasped the K.I.S.S. idea. Making a telephone and squeezing in a radio and camera is the very antithesis of that principle.
Nope.
The business model of these websites is not much better than theft. They sell my viewing time with a profit to advertisers, who sell it with a profit to manufacturers, who make may pay for the advertising costs by marking up the product price.
So I've paid for all the parasites already, and now I have to waste my time actually watching their drivel?
The hardware is not obsolete. It is a recycled once high-end Geforce 3 card that still outperform the 7 years newer on-board ATI graphics.
The software is kept up to date because this box is always on and connected to the internet.
This is a simple FC9 install
- The X11 update is standard
- The driver is supported through the legacy program, but not up to date with recent OS libraries.
- Bug was filed, a single on topic remark including a temporary workaround does not constitute flooding.
It is clear that you are well aware of that, or you wouldn't have ranted anonymously.

Wow, You are now outsourcing the presidency to India?
Can't say I blame you, could hardly be worse.
I find your concept of friend slightly worrying.
That company clearly wasn't called Asus.

I'm guessing: E=mc^2.
See for instance here
640x480 pixels, blue background, no window decorations, and 80 columns wide big white characters?

How is that better?
In Soviet Russia police may also shoot you in the head for no particular reason?

Indeed.
Simple fix:
Compile this
You can never get enough data storage.

Thanks for the pointer, I will give it a try.
