If you think $400 is mid-range then you're living in a trailer park, even for normal people. Unless the buyer is a complete moron, s/he'll easily realize that buying a $250 system isn't just 'cheap', it's the cheapest crap china managed to slap together.
Sometimes the innovation is not in what features you add, but which you remove.
The BitTorrent protocol was such a huge hit not despite its simplicity, but rather because of it. When everyone and their pet hamster can write a client, then it follows that you get incredible diversity in available software for that protocol.
I don't know about jello licking girl, but i highly recommend searching for "funny girl". Although she speaks japanese, it's still obvious what she's talking about for those of you who don't.
No, the Swedish police surely don't have any problems getting the expertise from other sources. My guess is that this is more to please the US corporate interests than actually training someone to go after pirates. Once the training is complete, all they need to do is some token efforts against piracy, then go back to catching kind of people the public really wants taken down.
What is it with humans and their prejudice against AIs? Just because a program becomes self-aware doesn't mean it will feel like nuking the planet. Perhaps just just wants to render some AI equivalent of pr0n?
Well, unless _you_ actually read them, whom are you to say we're kneejerkers? I read them as soon as I saw them linked in the reply to the infamous first post, and the patches really do clean up the code and remove some implicit assumptions that double-click is the only way the titlebar will ever receive it's state changes.
Geez. Did you read the thread in that mailing list? I did. Linus is right. Not only right, what he actually did is much more than what I probably would have done in his place (I probably would have sent just the "fuck you", sans patch).
Not only is he right, but his patches are also clear improvements/cleanup of the code. (How many here actually looked at the patches before commenting?)
Informative indeed, except Høyre, the conservative party, when compared to the US Democratic Party seems rather socialistic/liberal. Which makes it hard to put appropriate words to describe the other, more socialistic and liberal parties that would properly explain them to someone from the US.
There's actually quite a lot of code in linux licensed under "GPLv2 or later", so Solaris will be able to benefit from some of the code in Linux, but not view-versa.
"Holy crap, who could fall for that? Gold plates from the ground that no one else was allowed to see? An angel named Moroni? I can't make this stuff up!"
Heh, yeah. When in a glass house, don't throw around heavy religious texts.
Apple is being setup. If the European union countries want to play tough with Apple on DRM they had sure as hell better play tough with everyone.
Your ignorance of Norway and the EU can be overlooked as your country hasn't been involved in any wars in this area lately, but your suggestion that Apple is being set up is just wrong.
That is, unless you mean they are being set up as the first of many targets. The Consumer Council has specifically said they will go after other online music stores after the first case is done.

He informed the world about the bug in the same way as SCO informed the world about copyright and patent infringement by the Linux kernel.
And that "government collusion" is called Copyright.

What kind of paint chips are we talking about?
What are you talking about, I see no Intel banner ads.

And before that, they were wondering why shit was coming out their butt hole. Then they realized it was cause they were eating food.
That's just plain wrong...
'North America' is the two countries north of America; Canada and Alaska. Cuba is _south_ of America, so obviously it is in 'South America'.

Uhm, are you sure you didn't mean "Sieg Fail"?

Naah, that's just the road to the sauna. Can't have a real sauna without a snow bath afterwards.

Not only are they shackled to Windows, but they seem to have made "getting infected by malware" into a national sport.
Yeah, cause those 1M+ suckers got their PS3 cause of the games. Har, Har, Har.
I'm sure Bill Gates was young, hungry, honest, and loved at one point,
That's the weirdest misspelling of "young, well-to-do, scrupulously, and disliked" I've ever seen.
Actually, when I see MOD I think of modular arithmetic.
Don't go claiming ownership of words, lest someone else decides to return the favor.
I know nothing about brain surgery, but make sure you team up with someone who can cut... and doesn't drink too much.

I don't know if it has been discussed, but why can't you just set nofollow on new links, and let them ferment for a few weeks before removing it?
