Indeed, but if you'd read the original comment, you'd see that it was being compared to the Super NES, not the original NES. The SNES has 16K colours, and the new gameboy has 32K. Thank you, and thanks for playing.
Your welcome, but it dosn't chage the fact that you are completly and utterly wrong, since the The super nintendo could only display 8bit graphics. Think about it, were there many 14bit graphics cards out there in 1991?

You can clearly see? You can tell the difference between 16k and 32k colours from a 240x160 screenshot? Congratulations. You've obviously got better eyesight than me and the vast majority of the population...
No, I can't. But I can tell the diffrence between 32k colors of the GBA and the 256 colors, witch is what the Supernintendo had (although Rare managed to hack out 512 colors for a few games near the end of the SNES lifespan)

Have you ever heard of something called 'consistency'? The sad thing is I do get it. If its a big corporation, its bad, but if its the 'empower user' its good. Even if the 'empowered user' is backed by millions and millions in venture capital. I seriously doubt this DB protection law would make it illegal for the guy to use his own thesis; he does have a copyright on it. I don't think that any sane person would believe that he couldn't. So why did you write it? why did you say it? Flame bait? I'd say so. A baseless appeal to all the brain-dead slashbots out there
Copyright is dead, deal with it.

Like another poster mentioned, it would find heavy use on suspected drug offenders, but more importantly, anyone who posts bail, goes on parole, or heck, any computer user "suspicious" enough to be compares to John Wayne Gacy or Kevin Mitnick.
Hrm... Wouldn't having a computer chip implanted violate his parole?
Mostl likely, a crimial would not have access to an MRI machine, but they probably only need the magnetic feild. Perhaps a giant magnetic coil would do the trick?

*-for our Non-US readers, Megan's Law requires paroled sex offenders to announce to their new neighbors of their past crimes. Or something like that.
Actually, Megan's law requires that registered sex offenders need to inform their community, not paroled ones. Witch means that if you, as an 18 year old fuck some 16 year old, you may need to be marked as a pedophile wherever you go for the rest of your life. Or in your world, have a chip implanted in them. Brilliant idea. Lets start putting chips in everyone we don't like!

You can take the tests and get your MCSE without ever taking a class. They're happy to have you learn it on your own, MS has a series of books out to help you do it.
The problem is, you can also do it without ever touching a computer....
Well, his other quotes were pretty worthless, but:
"The market for an Internet infrastructure solution that could free Web transactions from their TCP-connection dependencies is potentially huge," said Peter Firstbrook,research analyst, Meta Group. "High-traffic Web sites and hosting providers could immediately benefit from performance improvements and reduced infrastructure requirements resulting from these devices, without rearchitecting."
Assuming he used the non-word 'rearchitecting' in a sensical manner, I don't see how this could be done. As far as I know, most webserver use their own TCP code (or stuff from an API, that would be linked in). Even if you could use the same server-code, I don't see how this would speed things up much, For interactive sites, most of the information is going to be coming from custom scripts or other server-side code. Not much of the CPU time is going to be spent crunching TCP/IP stuff. And any average PC can serve billions of static pages in a day nowadays, so we know its not that much of a load...

Well, I certainly wouldn't Not hire someone based on their having an MCSE, as I do know one person working for it who isn't an idiot (in fact, they're a pretty good programmer). But I would be a lot more cautious. And I would certainly not hire someone who thought their MCSE actually meant anything.
Not that I'm in that kind of position or anything, but if I was...
Technicaly, MS-DOS is not a part of Windows NT. I don't know if MSCEs are supposed to know about about 9x (witch is part DOS) or not.
On the other hand, anyone with any real computer exsperiance (even dicking around at home) should be able to figure out how to install an operating system...
The MCSE allows new persons to enter IT, diminishing the need for a CS degree or years of experience -- this is good.
No, its bad. It means that you have people doing IT things who don't understand IT. People can learn on their own, but an MCSE dosn't prove that they have, just that they crammed the locations of a bunch of checkmarks and buttons.
We just got 10 new cable channels here in Ames, IA. Including commedy central. I can't wait to see southpark in a non-pirated format. We also now have the cartoon network 24x7:)
Maybe you should read the article before you troll. The only way to "address his concerns" is to make Linux closed-source, and start charging for it. He seems to think he'll get a better product that way....
No, the only way to solve his problem is to delete the sourcecode. And that isn't a very difficult thing to do, as someone else posted
OK, so this guy is worried about people making changes to the OS behind his back, I doubt that happens very much, but whatever. There is still a simple solution.
Remove the source.
I mean, when I install Linux, I get the option to install source or not, why not make that choice? Take red-hat or mandrake or whatever pull the source and burn a CD, use that to install company wide. True, people could download the source, compile it, and reinstall, but they could do that to a windows box as well.
If you don't want people messing with the software, make it so they can't mess with it easily.

why do you hate gameboys? were you a sega/atari fan or something?
as any movie enthusiast knows, 16x9 is the dimension of a theater screen. interesting possibilities, no?
No, not really.

even if they don't have a special implant detector, i bet a metal detecter would work
Yes, beacuse silicon is now a metal!

Having somebody who can screw around with my operating system would make me very, very nervous.
Why would it be 'his' operating system? wouldn't it be the CIO's opperating system?
