Maybe they meant that not only can you listen to your iPod while jogging, you can look at those photo albums you always wanted to look at while jogging or walking. Watch out for that treem though.
I'd also like to have AM reception. There's some decent talk radio on the AM band. I do not know why, everytime I mention AM/FM for the iPod, I'm met with hostile replies from the Apple crowd. It *is* an audio device; granted it can play a week's worth of music, but radio should has a definite place in any audio player.
Perhaps, but a more pressing incentive would be not having the IT staff dedicating their entire working day to scheduling adware cleaning tools, downloading windows updates and service packs, and trying to clean machines that ended up getting infected.
Licenses can be easily seen as cost of doing business. Frequent interruptions because a Windows install is hosed is not acceptable to a productive workday.
You recognizing a problem and deciding to make a valiant effort to fix it is what worked. If you throw out the computer of a person whose only apparent problem is you getting in their business, they'd just play somewhere else; priend's house, arcade, etc.
Sure, it might make them stop playing eventually. But if they do not compute the magnitude of taking time off from school work or actual work to play Final Fantasy Online, they'll be back doing the same in due time.
I suppose you could lift the pattern, create a mold, then create some sort of silicone version of the said finger, complete with grooves, and try to swipe that.
What if we see the return of the old AOL-warez-sharing-via-email scene. One person uploads, then forwards parts as attachments to accounts on the same system. Deliveries should be local so no necessary re-uploading on the sender part. And distributing would take no time at all. 100 gigs would be peanuts.
Very well said. Having access to the DMV would give you all kinds of power: issue state identification papers, issue DMV or other state empliyee cards/badges, grab credit card numbers, SS #s, sell them on the black market or use yourself to steal someone's identity. One woul want them to do a clean reinstall. If it turned out that a backdoor let someone do the above, all the slashdot experts would be denouncing the idiots who were clueless to the possibilities of backdoors or keyloggers and didn't do a clean reinstall.
I'll stick to my relatively slow 180kBps Verizon usenet feet. At least it is steady bandwidth. Leave it overnight and you grab 4 gigs, more than enough for any leech.
You might be able to do the same with bittorrent, but only for very popular torrents. Many times I started an ISO and saw 10% completed in the morning, even when I was uploading at 40K, my absolute max.
I'd agree with the documentation part. From experience, most help comes from stringing together incomprehensible usenet posts and articles found on google.
The documentation for the most part is poorly written, and poorly laid out. A lot of times I find docs diving straight into each command or option with its own set of triggers, etc, without first giving a broad overview. I do not have specific examples; just an overall feel from a few years of using Linux and FreeBSD.
Can't really lay blame on anyone, though. People developing software for open source systems would rather create it than write documentation aimed at the greenest of Linux users, or support the software on forums and newsgroups.
How much relaxing at the beach will you be doing when an email comes in that the company mail server is down?
I think thats the point of the article.
Besides, the purpose of rest and sleep is to process information you absorb throughout the day. When you add to that information by reading about work, you aren't really getting any rest.
HP also has a much wider network of retail points of sale (Costco, BestBuy, etc) as well as better international outlets. I don't know any numbers, but one can assume that the market has been very much saturated by iPods in the states. This should give Apple a much wider potential customer reach.
Undue persecution of boy lovers continues around the world.
Really, what a loaded and ridiculous headline. If you love music so much, try not to exterminate those that produce it by redistributing it free of charge by violating copyright law.
I'm sure the price for individuals would be much higher. The uni is getting a very deep bulk discount, not to mention the service trying to grab market share by taking a loss on the chin.
Not only that, but let's see the gigantic price hikes that will result in having to extract and refine that oil for different uses and to meet environmental regulations.
On average I work 60 hour work weeks, and after I come home and want to unwind with a game, even though I have Thief 3 installed -- one of my all time favorite series -- I don't feel like comitting 90 minutes to complete a mission.
I just go to sourceforge.net or macgamefiles.com and download some puzzle games, or play some NES/SNES/GBA platformer.
So I think your assertion is very true. I think there is a developing market for simple games that we had on the old consoles.
I don't remember having this problem on the PC version. Maybe you are talking about the XBox game.
Most games these days fall into the category of wasting time. Every single big-budget game seems to have long, drawn out movie sequences to fill you in on the plot, and some of them don't let you skip them, like the beginning landing sequence in the last Jedi Knight game.
I think game studios are trying to market games against movies by making them grandiose, complex, and complete with a drawnout plot.
Another thing that bothers me are all the unskippable training missions. Just let me figure this stuff out during gameplay. I mean, c'mon, Call Of Duty isn't that much different than Quake. Pick a weapon and shoot the bad guys.

Should have sent it back to apple. They usually take no longer than a week to repair stuff.

Not exactly.

Yah, Linux is boring - it just works...
Surely, you must be joking.

When you submit to Slashdot, you don't have to think. Just use the word "linux" as an answer to any problem.

Almost like installing Gentoo.
Actually, China's economic boom is slowing down, and taking a hit on its demand for oil and steel.

I think that at this point, it is safe to assume that you guys are putting us on.
Linux has yet to implement a competent copy/paste facility, huh. Well, maybe next year will be the year of "Desktop Linux."
Not only that, but let's see the gigantic price hikes that will result in having to extract and refine that oil for different uses and to meet environmental regulations.

And don't forget Crass and The Damned.
Richard Clarke, the darling of the left, himself made the decision to help the bin Ladens out of the country.
And as far as I know, the family disowned Osama in the mid 90's. Somehow these things escaped Moore's research team.
