Why is "over his head" in quotes? That phrase doesn't appear in the PDFs. It may be the submitter's interpretation of the sentiment expressed by the author of the memos, but the author didn't use those words.
Putting it in quotes is disingenuous and misleading.
So? If you want to remain an ignorant, uninformed loser, just go into your preferences and check the box that excludes all stories in the Politics section from your homepage.
I don't know if their ad-supported model would work in IM, though. I prefer my IM windows to be small and inconspicuous - I don't know if I'd like having text ads (of any size) cluttering up my display.
The easily-missed colon in the title, combined with the fact that there have been a lot of stories about companies migrating to Linux lately, made me read the title as:
Yet another example of the growing trend toward the consumer not owning what he buys. Soon "buying" something will be more like leasing it, in that you'll only be able to do with it what the manufacturer wants to let you.
You're making the common mistake of assuming that the Intergalactic Council would care what we do with a cold, dead, gray lump of rock and dust that orbits our home planet.
But that's exactly what VoIP SHOULD be -- a replacement for standard land-line telephony
No! We currently use land-line telephony as both a voice transmission system AND a data transmission system. VoIP should remain a system for transmitting voice, and any devices that want to send digital data should send it across the Internet.

This is a joke, right?
All the problems he mentions would certainly be valid points, but only if you're dumb enough to completely replace your phone system with VoIP!
I have VoIP, but I kept one of my POTS lines when I switched. Without long distance service, it costs me a miniscule amount per month, and I can still use it for my TiVo, alarm system, 911, and so on. Everything he brings up is such a non-issue, it's almost funny.
The only valid point he has is that it's difficult to get yourself listed in the phone book, but that's not a technical issue and should be resolved shortly.

That link is so full of technical BS and hyped up marketing drivel, it's nearly impossible to tell what the point is.
Loose control of the language and you will loose the arguement
Well then, it looks like you've lost, doesn't it?
When MIT announces the first robot president, I'll be listening.

You know, coming up with outrageous claims and not backing them up is a form of trolling. How about a cite?
I've never heard even the most die-hard conspiracy theorists talk about this.
Sankai said he hopes to introduce HAL-3 on the market around autumn through his venture firm, Cyberdyne Inc.
Oh man, imagine how funny it would be if...never mind.
Not really. As more and more people begin to use spam filtering (especially on the server level), spam's effectiveness will decrease.
How long until someone reverse-engineers this API and makes an OS X and Linux client available?
Can the human eye even distinguish between such fine variations in color? I know I've never found any flaws with images rendered in 24-bit color.

That definitely elicited a double-take.

Why, oh why did you have to bring up that up? Now I have to add that to the long list of mental images I never want to see again...
Worse, if you look closer you'll see that they're using Windows to run Java applets!

Why don't you cure cancer, solve the world's energy problems, and establish world peace while you're at it?

What exactly is the problem with LSB compliance? Isn't AMD-64 backwards-compatible with ordinary x86 code?
