Umm, whatever! 5% of the world's population uses 50% of it's natural resources. Not US-Centric! What a joke.
People have that opinion because it's true. Stop being so patriotic and face it.
If you would stop and think about the reasons people have this opinion it wouldn't tke you long to realize it's cause. A bad foriegn policy that is driven by greed and only servers corporate interests...probably the main reason.
Stop complaining and start demanding that your government become more accountable for it's foriegn policy.
"1. vendor-centric admins who aren't willing to learn
2. different service contracts creating differing expectations of uptime between systems
3. added costs from maintaining multiple service contracts and training on multiple platforms
4. finger-pointing, if the systems interact
5. rewriting in-house tools which are needed on the new platform, but were not written generically before
6. 3rd party licensing costs may differ (if you are licensing the same product on both OSs)
7. dilution of expertise, since your admins will have to be more generalists (this is often overbalanced by the expansion of perspective in problem-solving that comes from broader experience)"
And somehow this all equates to: "Generally, this is not difficult to do..." ???
Can someone please expalin to me how Comcast will be able to determine this. I mean, short of Comcast employees barging into client's home or client side scripting, how is it possible?
I suggest a ban on sleep. Sometimes I have terrible nightmares and they make me feel real bad! I propose everyone get a sleep buddy, that way you can wake eachother up every half hour or so just in case.
Is it just me, or is it crazy to think that the.tv tld could garner more then 45 million in revenues over a relativly short period of time. Why not keep it and reap the rewards? Is tuvalu that cash starved?
First off, you shouldn't have copy/pasted this info! Use a fucking link asshole.
Secondly, "Due to a historical quirk, most mail systems on the Internet will deliver mail to anyone, not just their own users" Ever hear of anti-relay hijacking?
For once I would like to see the same outrage and effort put behind stopping real junk-mail. I mean, it's much more detrimental to the planet and society than all the "Anal Sluts" ads that I get via email. Jeez, at leat they include nudy photos! All I get via snail-mail are bland grocery coupons and credit card applications!
Seriously, why is paper spam more accpetable than the e-variety?
"That's why we come to Slashdot, because we know they're not biased!"
HA!
Find any/. thread dealing with Linux security bugs (Yes, they do exist!) then compare those to threads dealing with Windows security bugs. Or, are geeks automatically considered unbiased?
Hmm, do people actually think restrictions on technology exports actually prevent other countries from aquiring them? Ever stop to consider that it's just propaganda? You know, to promote a false sense of safety.
As you know, file sharing at Napster has been suspended for several months. During that time, we've been blown away by the number of Napster users who've continued to download the software and use it to organize and play their music. These dedicated users keep us inspired as we work on our new membership service. We're in the home stretch, with all of our critical technology complete and in testing.
Who the fuck are these guys trying to kid? "Dedicated users"... Yeah, right! Just a bunch of computer-illiterate AOLers who can't use Windows Explorer!
Napster was always buggy, it was always ugly, and since the RIAA caught on, it was doomed.
I think that's where the.NAP file format steps in. It must include some sort of unique ID thingy. All of this will probably cost the artist, especially naive young bands with stars in there eys, more money then they will ever make off it.
I hope this get moded as "funny" or "I didn't read the article and I'm simply replying because I hate everything that's not linux". This article shows that AOL intends to fix the problem on the server-side.
I'm sure a terrorist can accomplish any internet-based activities via a dial-up connection to any ISP around the globe. What exactly does the US hope to accomplish beside raising a terrorists long distance costs and cutting high-speed access?
Some dim-wit talking on his cell-phone, eating a burger, and having a hot cup of coffee while driving, I mean flying, get this, an airplane! Can you imagine the devastation of what once used to be a careless fender-bender.
I hope they keep this one in the suburbs. They have bigger backyards out there.
Um, people have been working in "desktop environments" for centuries. People like desks and filing cabinets, get over it. The "virtual desktop" is a manifestation of what people over many centuries have found to be a comfortable working environment. That's not to say it won't change, of course it will, but blaming the interface for the fact that some people are hopelessly disorganized is absurd!
I like my soft desktop, I feel like it's an extension of my hard desktop. I work in an open concept office and when I look around and compare my co-workers soft desktops to their hard desktops I find the similarities uncanny.

You shouldn't be rejecting spam! You should redirect it to some folder/mail store and get your end-users to check it every once in a while. Simple.

Why can't you just post the headline? I don't want your opinions on jounalistic integrity. I can decide what merit the story has for myself.
It's "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters". Not, "News for nerds, and my half-baked opinion of the state of mass media".

Sorry, but you're being a little bit paranoid dude.

Umm, I think he's referring to people @ M$ who are experts and/or charged with the duty of researching and learning about competing products.

Spoken like a true American. Get some culture in ya!
Hmm, American. There's only so much you can do to hotdogs and hamburgers before it gets boring. I give it one season, tops.
