"I'd like to know if anyone has succeeded in porting a Free operating system to the Xbox. "
Why are you interested? Because of the irony?
If you want to see Linux so badly on this machine (I assumed you meant Linux when you said "free operating system"). Tape a Penguin to the console, take a picture, and let it be. Don't be the billionth M$ hater sitting around with friends chanting "Wouldn't it be soo funny to see Linux on a Microsoft machine?"
Your statement in the article makes you sound as low as the ones here
Toshiba Laptops are some of the best laptops I've ever worked with. The integrated periferials make these laptops very mobile. This really helps out our users who are running from site to site.
Thus far, Toshiba's warranty is one of the best I've ever worked with from and IT standpoint. The 3 year system guard protects against virtually everything on the machine. Service for these laptops has also been very flexible. It has been my experience that as long as it's not a vital part (motherboard, lcd screen, etc.) the replacement parts can be shipped out to you. That in itself saves a TON of heartache especially when a big whig has a bad cd drive.
And yes, you can get WiFi and Bluetooth on the new Portege models as well as the Satellite Pro 6100's.
The kind of shift Microsoft is doing kind of reminds me of when the Japanese almost had a death grip on the car industry. Let's hope the same thing happens in this case and the corporation keeps it's promises.
This article also kinda reminds me of an enema... but that's just me.:)
She prolly started packing her bags after the whole Olympics fiasco. I'm sure she's trying to find another country who has more of a positive media presence like say Eurasia?
Actually it's not really but there's already been a review mentioned on here. Once again I will go on the record and say this is one of my favorite distro's!
I've been using build 44 for a few months now. I have been trying to switch to a more Linux type desktop and this OS has been a god send. The installation is a breeze and actually fun (They let you play solitare while the OS installs!). Sure many aspects of it really do resemble windows but for a user like me that's trying to make the transition in small steps it's perfect.
I agree Jake Lloyd's acting and Jar Jar's dialoge left alot to be desired but consider the following:
"It just seems like he's jumping on the cloning bandwagon we've been seeing lately in sciencefiction."
Sure Lucas is jumping on the bandwagon... if that started almost 30 years ago! The clone wars were mentioned as early as "A New Hope" and were then documented in the "Behind the magic" CD that came out around the time of the "Special Edition" theatrical releases. If anything Lucas has perfect timing. Cloning is just now coming into perspective in real life. It will either help or hinder us. That's what these movies were originially meant to be about. On topic for modern day issues but happening "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
But why does anyone (on this site) care if Windows has vuneribilities and how they handle them? This site is viewed by a majority of users using alternate OS's is it not? It seems as if the only reason stories like these are posted are to poke fun at Windows and how inferior it is. Thus giving the open source community more and more reason to light a cigar, drink brandy, and pat themselves on the back.
One could argue that the reason stories like this are posted is because there are some Windows users viewing this site. To me, this isn't the case. Microsoft is looked upon (On this site, respectively.) as the bully who made fun of you growing up. So in order to avenge years of "Poopy Pants", findings of bugs and basicially flame articles are posted.
I'm not going to say the authors of slashdot need to stop doing this. If that were the case I'd simply just not view the site. All I'm asking is for the authors to lighten up, or atleast change the logo to something more conservative.
Great article and all.. but I really don't think it needs to be under the Quake heading. Granted it does talk about FPS and you could draw the relation from doom to quake. But this should really go under something like humor.
There was once a lady who would constantly bug me about a bogus new mail notification popping up on her screen. I constantly avoided this, not because of any disrepect but because I had other things I needed to be dealing with.
One day, I had some free time to spare and decided I should go ahead and fix her little glitch. I was shocked to see the paramedics taking her out on a stretcher. We were all shocked so we left work early.
We never went to the cubicle again, particially because of the eerie and cold tone is let off. Also partly because it was apart of the vacant warehouse area.
One night. I was working late on a network issue and had to make sure all machines were properly shut down. Out of habit, I went by the ladies cubicle. I was shocked to see what appeared to be a dialoge box. I took out my mini flashlight and inspected it further, it was a dialoge box!
Sometimes I go by the cubicle to inspect the area, making sure nothing has been stolen and what not. But there are sometimes I walk by and the sun is hitting the monitor at just the right spot. It illuminates the screen so much infact you can almost make out the message burned onto the screen:
"New mail has arrived. Would you like to read it now?"

This game is not an expansion pack, it's a stand alone. Even the press release says the game will be called Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
:)
Just another friendly reminder to please read articles before you post them
Com'on other countries... Plan a mission to mars sooner than 2022 (Say 2010?). This way we can have an old fashioned space race :)

If you bought it from Circuit city you can get 110% of the difference of price if it's been changed in the last 90 days... or so says the commercial.
Yay..?
When I start getting e-mails from "l33t Gen Tz0" I'm gonna start freaking out!

...which is the first last step to a final Mozilla 1.0!
Where else can you get coverage like this about a browser!?!
I mean it's a great browser, and it's come a long way, but this kinda of reporting borders on Star Wars theatrical opening obsession.

Jeff K. is light years ahead of you! :)
Of course HTTP is dead! All I type in now to get to a site is WWW...

Hooray for the slashdot effect!
Does anyone else find this a bit too orgasmic?

Obviously this was about the time that herbal essenses was unable to be condensed into such a small container.

Heh, thanks for your thoughts. I was honestly expecting a large thread of flames.

Is it just me or does the picture of the mini computer look like some SCSI DLT Tape drive that met a few too many carnies on his way to manufacturing?
I wonder if you could hack it like Jeff K.
We can all look foward to articles with the heading "Enlarge Your Penis Now!"

This will only encourage the children to use their boogers as some sort of crude paste to keep the inner walls together!
