You sure about that? What will happen to all the "zealots" once they figure out "their" OS has become mainstream? There's nothing like living for a cause that all of a sudden turns out to be accomplished...
I'll wait till the games worth waiting for are there, and maybe then I'll consider buying a PS2. With a little luck there might actually be such a thing as a store having one in stock by then:-(
(Unless anyone really thinks Intel will clean up its act in the next few years and display a little more quality control).
They won't have much of a choice, considering the damage done to their marketshare by AMD so far. Let's just hope Intel will be able to keep putting up a fight, or we'll see the average/.er kicking AMD's ass in the near future...
As far as performance is concerned, I'd go with WinME, but the reason I've got a dualboot is to make a solid difference between fun and profit, so to speak. The only way I've gotten WinMe to crash so far was by plugging in a SBlive without removing my old soundcard...
I doubt it's a matter of admitting, I think it's all about about personal preferences. It's just too bad that me saying that I'm actually quite happy with my W2K/WinMe dualboot system will cause this post to be modded as flamebait...
I read things like that in the last half hour before going to sleep. At that time I'm usually positioned in something most people refer to as "bed" and somehow a book seems easier to read in bed than the text of a webserver if you don't mind:-)
the article not mentioning anything on how big these modules are actually going to be? So what can we expect? A really big external 2 Gig Firewire memory block that will keep it's data even during reboots and stuff?
It allows you to build the "Giant Slingshot" wonder which in turn allows you to build space marines. The downside is that your opponents can call in massive hordes of Jeans-stealers.
And have that user decide to buy from another company in the future, only to find out it's exactly the same with them. Ah well, I guess that's why I won't have to worry about a job anywhere soon. Tech-support has it's advantages. Too bad it also has it's downsides.
The thing that pops into my mind as far as quality control is concerned is "Matrox". They are just about the only VGA-card producing company that refuses to bring the card on the market before the drivers are finished, extensive testing is complete etc. This results in them launching their cards later than the competition and relatively expensive, causing them to lose a big bite out of the profits. The upside is that a lot of semi-knowledgable users who switched to Matrox never switch back, so they do have a loyal user base. BTW, they're not entirely on their own, ATI does a pretty good job on testing before the selling as well...
The company I currently work for has what I think is a good example of what the article is about. The company is spread out over 5 continents, each having their separate servers for everything, file, application, mail etc. After that all these networks are linked together through a number of connections back and forth and then finally the connection to the internet runs through one final Firewall. This effectively results in thousands of people surfing all being the same IP adress. Guess that explains why the/. polls tell I've already voted 70 times....
Heretics! Who needs Notepad or Emacs when there is...drums in background slowly increasing in volume...edit! Or for the die-hards, ever tried writing HTML in Edlin?
According to the article, and judging by "in Carnivore, CoolMiner, Packeteer, or wherever", it's an alien plot to develop competition for Minesweeper and solitaire. All hail the FBI!

The draft says that "Carnivore represents technology that can be more effective in protecting privacy and enabling lawful surveillance than can alternatives." What alternatives? The scope of this statement is undefined.
Ahhh, the power of Foretelling is such a beautiful thing. Too bad it's wasted on predicting Carnivore 2.0 in this case...
Slashdot Mirror
a step in the right direction for sure.

Everybody wins.
Mmmhhh, new stuff. New stuff = expensive stuff = evil(tm).
Will wait.
Ok,' I'll rectify that statement, most of us can learn to count and become smarter than a computer...
Computers are stupid, they cannot be neither good nor evil.
0,1,2, what do you know? You too can be smarter than a computer. Sign up now and learn to count(tm)! Millions have gone before you.

What's wrong with that? At least that allows us to stop research on cold fusion, not to mention my gas bill...
than from M$ and crApple combined.
Maybe you should check out some of the Apple manuals and look for the little signs beneath the pages saying Copyright 2000 Microsoft corporation...

In other words, Apache is good for servers and windows is "good" for workstations. What's the problem?
Sure, you know that Netcraft tests have for a while provided empirical evidence of Apache's usefulness and ubiquity
Apache, safe when used as directed.

Funny, I never encountered any problems with it, contray to some other companies I won't mention by name as they're the ones signing my paycheck:-)

Bandwidth is cheaper and cheaper to provide; priority is expensive.
Not to mention that bandwidth is a lot easier to advertise...
