The Olympics maybe big, but is just a business like any other. They hack it as much they want, I don't give a damn. There are more important things. Actually they would be doing us a favour if they hacked it, the idols and big brother.
It just strikes to me as naive to use Windows and Intel hardware to store state secrets. Or using Israeli firewalls (Checkpoint) China got it right with Red Flag Linux and Loongson.
Windows has been always making strides into "virus" resistancepity it is only in the marketing area. What matters is the reality, and for the majority of people, slow computers is a fact of life.
As for source code, your comment is way out of line. My coding skills are nothing out of ordinary, i have already fixed some bug on occasion, even a kernel bug. And if he doest know, look how many contributions from hobbyists linux has been having ever since.
Windows is terrible, many people are just brainwashed into using it, and don't know better.
I am quite inclined to agree with you. Instead of investing in new technologies and advancing their business model, they attach their own customer base. I wonder own many industries could get away with that and how dumb people are
Someone could explain to me like I was a 5 year old, why our taxes are used to finance the media market, and police is working for them instead of catching criminals?
Are they less poor for having more electric outlets, or "owning" a home and a car? I bet many of those commodities are bought using credit. For me poor is living paycheck to paycheck counting the money
IT is only so natural that having a large of the population poor and without conditions to pay a minimum standard of living, that many old diseases will make a comeback. It has nothing to do with the effectiveness of vaccines.
I don't discount your point. In a home setting it makes sense, no denial about it. In an enterprise setting where you have multiple virtualisation hosts, a redundant arquitecture, and hundreds of virtualisation servers, it is counter-productive to keep old hardware around just for the sake of having one more machine.Heck, even at home I don't want the hassle of dealing with old hardware, I just fire away a XEN machine remotely when I have to do some tests and destroy it shortly thereafter.
And even then, I would prefer to deal with a Raspberry Pi then with an a two-decade old server at home.
You raise a point I have been mulling about for a while. In the past if did make sense to take advantage of boxes lying around. Nowadays, with virtual machine technologies, I have my doubts it is profitable to keep and maintain old hardware just for the sake of having one more server lying around.
I would not be surprised if the "suspicious" fire isnt just a cover up for the theft of the insides of the home. It is a standard procedure, even body officials do it all the time in 3rd countries like for instance a "fire" in the arms deposits to cover up traffic of weapons. meh
Must be to compete with Microsoft. Their Office for Mac is a piece of junk and often doest adhere to the HID guide of development software. Hell, I cant even cut & paste images dragging and dropping them as in other Apple software. And it is SLOW.And lets not get started about Outlook. I have been trying to take a coworker out of it.
I hope slashdot doesnt turn as badd as digg. Stopped reading time years ago. We came here to escape from this bullshit from the real world. Who cares about american redneck ^H^H^H^H^H idol or whatever? They should all be shot. Twice. With silver bullets, and all the things required to bury vampires, lest they not return from the grave. Honestly, is this the idea of a joke from the editors?
It is idiotic to arrive at the coffee shop, or the brief period I was unemployed to the coffee shop, to discover idiotic freeloaders are not letting anyone do jack, just to keep there all day using bit torrent "for free". I fired up arpspoof and firewalled everything, so just web browsing and MSN worked for a while.;-P
You both don't know jack about road construction. It is a way to laundry money and rob blind the taxpayers. As the construction workers, here only one works and the see it working. They take turns.
It is well known in the industry Microsoft likes to place artificial barriers to competitors. They either subside proxies to create precedents and vicious battles (hello SCO), or are eager to deal with patent trolls because they have deep pockets, and thus create precedents and problem for others.

Or is it a way to earn some more money instead of going out of business?
I imagine other problems. A get-rich scheme in troubled times, or just a way to retire the ship.

Because they are crazy and sociopath enough?

Pity I don't have mod points, the comment about OVERPRICE consultants as code monkeys is quite common and spot on.
As if proprietary software also hasn't bigger problemsopen source is supposed to mitigate this problems, and improve the quality of software.
hey, I ticked off the ads disabled, this must be some slashcode bug.

Move your company to the opposite building of your houseyou are the owner, after all.
Personal helicopter. Many rich people in Brazil own one. Hey, rent-a-helicopter, aka taxis on the air. You heard it here first.

If I were musk, I would have my personal helicopter.
Who exactly is paying/or promoting this? This seems to be a shady manoeuvre to put out free competitions to ISP.
