No, because the company will simply sue him for the domain name and win. I'm surprised they haven't already...
Out of curiosity, *which* company will win? Supposing that Microsoft and AOL both file suit. In the end of the day, who has more claim to the domain? Is it AOL, because AOLTimeWarner has more letters than Microsoft?

Oh...before the grammar Nazi comes along...I meant to say "Now our USB peripherals will be unsupported in Linux much more quickly than they were in USB v1.1!"

"PCWorld is reporting that USB 2.0 or high speed USB will be hitting Linux first half 2002. Intel is already providing space on its Pentium 4 motherboard for the USB 2.0 controller. With a transfer rate of 480mbps (more than firewire's 400mbps) it seems promising."
That's nice. Now our USB peripherals will be unsupported in Linux much more quickly than they are in Windows!
Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Let's get some useful peripherals out there first.
Oh yeah. FireWire v1 runs at 400Mbps, which is nothing to sneeze at, but I'm pretty sure they're testing v2 and v3 now, which double and quadruple that rate.
And where might we read about this?

Umm...WHERE exactly are they reporting this? DAMN...This time the Slashdot editors didn't even bother checking to see if there WAS a story to read...
China has insisted on using Linux on all of its government servers.
Ironic, isn't it, that America's poster child of oppression and dictatorship chooses to use Slashdot's poster child of freedom and democracy to run their systems, eh? I doubt that they'll be doing things in the same light as the other countries mentioned here.

Too bad he wasn't using a DC 290, otherwise he could've just played Ghosts 'n' Goblins on his digital camera using MAMED.
Still, a cool hack. I'd particularly enjoy the idea of playing all those SNK fighters on the XBox. He only mentions "out the bug was in beta 14 of the M.A.M.E. source code that has since been fixed in the beta 16 release, so my M.A.M.E. source is up to date, and a few latent bugs got fixed automagically.", so I presume that he's using MAME 0.37. Wonder how it works with CPS2 emulation...
Mmm...Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the XBox...
Wait, um...did I just say that? I meant "I love Linux!".
They'll probably have BeIA running on their secretly-planned entry to the handheld market...You know that when Apple puts its minds to something, it can really come through. I'm just waiting to see them produce some killer PDA.
Oh wait...They did that already. Except it wasn't killer. Damn...

The point here isn't that Microsoft controls the desktop or hates AOL. It's Microsoft's refusal to give up the practice of product tying. Just like Microsoft insisted that IE be on the desktop of Win98, Microsoft knows that, if they allow competitors unfettered access to the desktop, Microsoft will potentially be losing cash.
By eliminating all the icons from the desktop, then Microsoft is assured that no extra products can compete with their own, since those gosh-darn handy-dandy Wizards will politely direct us to the nearest Microsoft service anytime we have the chance. You think that adding MSN along with AOL on the desktop is fair? It's one hell of a price to pay, in my book. I don't much care for AOL, but if Microsoft claims that MSN is truly a separate entity from Windows and the Microsoft behind it, then there's no reason Microsoft shouldn't have to pay to have their own focus put up there. They make OPERATING SYSTEMS, not Internet Portals.
The article's primary focus isn't that the BSA is playing hardball or that Microsoft is bad. The article is just talking about how the BSA doesn't follow up on these cases because THERE ARE NO CASES. The ad campaign is just being used as a scare tactic, and they're not going around bullying people like some victims claim (They may very well be, but not as a result of failing to agree to a Truce).
Still, it is very unethical for the BSA to mass-market fear and propaganda like this. Should my company ever receive a letter like this, I'll probably end up calling the BSA to order them to take me off their mailing list unless they really ARE going to do an audit.
After years of fruitless efforts to make money selling goods and services over the Web, many entrepreneurs and other businesspeople are starting to blame the system's fundamental design for their failures.
And those failures certainly wouldn't have been because of a poor Internet business models, now would they?
Or I would make it against the law not to patch one's software, similar to the laws ensuring the vaccination of children, and for the same reasons; such an epidemic, viral or virtual, delivers a powerful blow to our economy and is a matter of national security.
Yeah...so that Microsoft can use this "law" to introduce "features" into my operating system without my consent? Nah...They've already done a fine enough job of making the government think that Linux is bad. I think I'll just let them lobby about while I enjoy the little paradise Linux has made out of my tiny CPU...
Being on dialup at home, I've developed an inherent fear of knowingly clicking on links hosted on a foreign server, since I don't want to be greeted with fifteen thousand "The webpage you are trying to view requires the following components to be installed:" messages.

That doesn't excuse me from doing this at work, of course.:)
We need more details. Of course there will be marked support for this in the community, but what official support will Sony provide for the PS2 port of Linux?
Will it support DVD playback (DVD playback in Linux? Say it ain't so, Joe!)? Will it officially support the PS2 HD and broadband adapter? What sorts of special apps/tools will be concluded to make this not only a worthwhile project, but something actually USEFUL? We're not talking using GIMP on a Dreamcast, here. What actual functionality will the end users see here? Any chance of end users participating/overseeing development of the Linux package Sony will be supplying? Can anyone say, GNU Net Yaroze? What sorts of restrictive licenses will we be facing in using/abusing this product?
If it had been 3 or 4 degrees warmer, the "sonic boom" might have sounded more like a "duck" or "Michael Jackson" I can see it now...people look up to see a meteor sailing across the sky. Moments after it passes, a deep voice is heard booming through the skies...

Oddly enough, Interplay did an enhanced SimCity called SimCity Gold, and they had plans to do the same for SimEarth. It was even going to have a 3D virtual "planet-walk" mode. I think they had a movie demo of it on "Out of this World"...either that or "Cyberia". That was the only time I ever saw anything about that game...and then it disappeared into the ethereal mists.

His housemate? Or...are they just insinuating that maybe Bert is leaving Ernie for some hot bin Laden-lovin'?
