Before the PBay Case, I guess people were afraid that the police would go after the users. Now it seem to us that they will focus on taking the sites spreading torrent files. Thus the users feel safer.
It's still new techonology. Compared to the evolution from the first hard-drives and the first 1x CD-ROMs on the market, the SSD technology is still somewhat more reliable. I myself find myself waiting for this technology to mature a bit more before introducing it on my company computers.
Soon I can write a story and then I just compile it and it will show sniplets of existing movies or rendered characters and woha it's converted to a real movie even with end credits: Directed and written by ME ME Oh I can't wait.
- It was just not americas turn. The Olympics is trying to spread it around the globe. - And, your olympic commitee has been in dispute with The Olympics because of percentage of earnings. - Quite frankly, the presentation and sending Obama created a unpleasant pressure. - The US is not making efforts considering drugs/doping, and have make minimal progress in the last ten years.
The US must step down from its virtual high horse and ask itself what they do wrong. The US Passport control is not among where you should change.
I guess it all depends on the definition, but when you start listening to spotify, it will instantly start downloading the file to a large cache locally. There are programs that can decrypt these files (ogg format). Spotify is mainly just a P2P service that somehow got accepted by the music industry.
Thanks Slashdot for a lot of info on Windows 7. However the world moves on, and I think we can chat about Windows 7 when it's finally released to manufacturing. It's not fair to give Microsoft a separate article for each leakened "feature".
Hello Microsoft. This game starts looking more and more like The Apple Rumor Machine. And Slashdot seem to stick along hand in hand.
In Norway, there is an interesting discussion whether one can define Mobile broadband as "Broadband". The Post and Telecommunications Authority has defined what may be called "mobile broadband":
"You should have seen a download speed of at least 640 kbps for the operator to be able to call the service "mobile broadband". The upload rate should be at least 128 kbps."
It's just scripted patches with e.g. included modified files, but included within an MSI.
I don't see why this cannot be deployed as patches/hotfixes instead of just calling it "FIX IT" scripts.
I find this amusing. My guess is that Microsoft had so many "IT Professionals" reporting that the fixes in KB articles failed due to UAC blocking them, thus this fix it is coming to town, popping up a window asking for administration privileges.
This article is totally biased and should not have been posted on Salshdot. What microsoft has done is impressive and will make everybody start getting creative again, instead of leaving music only to artists.
This is rather the opposite. Microsoft has finally understood the importance of piracy: to build up a large userbase, and then lean back and relax whilst the synergy effect takes care of business.
Look at me. I'm surfing the net at the toilet! That's what I use the mobile for. My everyday life consist of hard work and no time for surfing news, which makes the daily toilet visit the only time I actually have time for surfing.
1. Buy a java-compatible phone 2. Install Opera Mini (www.operamini.com) 3. You can now surf the net, google and do almost 90% a fully browser can do.
I find it very funny that a release of a piece hardware is licensed to a broadband and telecommunications company. It should be free and not locked to just one provider.
It's important here that the youth of Japan grow up in very small houses, where even some have beds they have to pull out from the walls. It's all about small rooms and small things.
Do you want to sit at home surfing using the computer in the living room? No, of course not. That's why they buy small telephones and use them for surfing.
It's not comparable to anywhere else in the world, except maybe China.
1. Use a solder iron and carve your name/company name in large letters into the plastic of the laptop. 2. No thief would ever be able to sell it. Thus not steal it.
This is a great post. However, it fails to emphasize the real reason: Consumer Rights.
In Europe, the companies are afraid of their consumers. In U.S., the consumers are afraid of the companies. -- And somehow it always come true; the US is all about selfishness; A result of a society with only one rule: Profit.
The European companies learned a long time ago that they have to work together and make universal solutions for a long-term profit, whilst in the U.S. the companies seem to get into wars and limit their customers from other competitors. Why? Because, in the U.S., the government have less power than the companies.
I've watched some of Michael Moore's films, and even if he sometimes loose his objectiveness, he's still the person all you U.S. citizen should learn from.
What's Keeping US Phones in the Stone Age?
- Because the US need a wake-up call.
I am an "IT professional" and every time I visit Microsoft.com for various purposes, I have to use IE, since their ActiveX stuff and other stuff. E.g. downloading from msdn and similar.
For all other purposes I happily use Firefox. It feels like pain every time I have to start IE.
Slashdot Mirror
Every time he writes about me, even if I am in a car accidents or similar. I want to have a piece of his income.

Oh I can't wait.
I could come up with some reasons:
- It was just not americas turn. The Olympics is trying to spread it around the globe.
- And, your olympic commitee has been in dispute with The Olympics because of percentage of earnings.
- Quite frankly, the presentation and sending Obama created a unpleasant pressure.
- The US is not making efforts considering drugs/doping, and have make minimal progress in the last ten years.

According to my tests, 640 kbps is hardly archived anywhere in Norway, and I guess it's pretty similar in the US.
We have dozens of Acrobat Pro 6, 7 and 8 installs. How do we fix them? Are they vulnerable? Will Adobe use this to take advantage of the market?

Give me a single feature that I actually need that is not already there in XP.
I see no productivity increases. I only see new stuff not needed, e.g. can't think of a single need for a local VSS installed.
Nice, now I can use this to detect if people were loud in my server-room.
Do they also react to smell?

Dworak is wrong.

Last 2 years, I've heard about fantastic speed increases.
However my new PC is still slow as hell and it doesn't feel any faster than the old one.

Same here. Cambridge, this is a dupe.

Yeah I've had this too. The US is becoming a third world country when it comes to consumer-friendliness.
