Now if someone could tell me how to remove those crappy "Designed for Windows XP" and "Centrino Mobile Technology" labels without leaving a residue or damaging or scratching the casing, I'd be ever so grateful.
For supermarket chains, the serious losses are not from shoplifting. The really serious theft is the entire truckloads of goods that never make it in the backdoor of the store, but that the chain ends-up paying for. These operations are usually operated by insiders, often reaching up to quite senior management levels, as full-time businesses-within-the-business.
None of this tracking nonsense is going to make the slightest dent in that.
If the article references the Christian Science Monitor, why the hell is the link to some linkjack blog at ZDNET?
Surely the original article (at CSM) should be the one linked, and not to some warmed-over plagiarised rehash at ZDNet? Do the/. editorship actually bother to check any of this?

Unfortunately its likely that there's not enough time for any of this shit. Lots of oil guys believe that the economic impacts of passing Peak Oil will be upon us within 2 to 4 years, and then we're back to hunting bunny rabbits with pointy sticks.
From TFA: "Rather than emphasizing open standards -- an area where both companies fall significantly short of competitors..."
What a load of crap. Whilst Oracle may (or may not) fall foul of this accusation, Sun have probably the most long-standing and solid commitment to open standards of any tech company. Almost everything they've done has been based on open standards through their entire history.
Your obviously didn't RTFA, or, if you did, failed totally to understand it.
The problem is that the US was interfering in #2 and not "leaving it to [the] specific countries."
...the oil runs out, causing the global economy to collapse, so no money to develop these chips, nobody with money to buy them, no electricity to run them with.
Microsoft has reportedly place a large order for chairs and other office furniture, citing recent attrition due to "unexpected breakage". Microsoft representatives declined to comment.
2) Cases with more functionality -- Haven't you even dreamt of having your case double as a food/drink dispenser as well?"
All you need to do is stash enough frosty-cold beers inside the case and the fans become redundant. 'Course you have to drink the beers pretty quick if you want to consume them cold, but hey...
Wasn't it in one of the later Foundation novels that Isaac Asimov had a troupe of robots performing folk dances in the interests of keeping the dances "alive"?
Just another nail in the coffin of good predictive SciFi, I guess.
Why bother with programming a network of CPUs when nature has given us an animal ready, willing and able to do all the clever stuff we're only now beginning to build into cars?
A hundred years ago, a doctar called out in the night could catch-up on his sleep in the drive home, letting the horse do all the navigation and traffic management.
Then, too, show me the car that can make another car...

I hate those things.

Sun do get it (though it took a while) - Jini http://jini.org/ has been opensource under ASLv2 for a while now.
Oh, I guess you mean Java applets...
So that you bought that shit in the "E^1arge" spam and it really worked?

errr... that's Lenovo , not "Levono" as spelled in the headline.
My, how short memories are!
Every three to five years, out comes Chairman Bill on his WarHorse with the same, tired, old rallying cry, "We're remaking the business!"
Wasn't that the warcry for WindowsXP? DotWet?
But finally, perhaps, MS's shareholders are starting to wake up saying, "Hey! This sounds a tad familiar..."
All this does is shift the cost onto the ISPs who are at the receiving end. This is exactly what the spammers do, and why spam is theft.
Still can't reasonably and safely read them while lying in the bath until the water is cold and toes are wrinkled albino prunes.

Mod this article "crap".
Fear of falling.

What?? Nothing from Pla 9 from Outer Spaace! Disgusting. I can't be having with this slashdot thing anymore...

Hello! It's CARBON. Burn it. We've been disposing of Carbon-based solids this way for 2 million years.
Nonsense, dear!
The tilde key is very useful for deleting all those tiresome "backup" files that so many programs insist on creating.
This whole thing is OT. Who gives a shit? Running? What the hell has it got to do with anything? Why on Earth would I want to "get motivated".
Maybe the Editors need to rename this thing "SwooshDot"...
