At my DMV the PCs are usually just using some dumb terminal telnet app to an old mainframe somewhere. It does seem like linux would be the way to go here.... newer apps are mostly web and java based./I don't use linux
The more stories I read about Microsoft's wild ways, the more I'm reminded how bad Apple is. I guess it doesnt matter when you have 10% of the market - making hardware and software, not supporting older (2 years) hardware and software, etc. Msoft is just trying to cut costs, like every other business.
Poor use of the word. How silly. What is this, Fark? Surely you geeks could come up with a better headline / summary.

lower costs? yes, lower PRICES for us? Don't bet on it. Does id charge the same whether you buy it from them vs from another store? nope. Do you really think Valve wouldn't LOVE to keep the difference? Do you pay less for movies at the theater because of ads shoved in your face before the movie?
The company says that their name is "id", not iD, not ID, not even Id, it's freaking "id"!
id n. In Freudian theory, the division of the psyche that is totally unconscious and serves as the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs.
Please DO report it to the police. Some people say it's a waste of time, but they are wrong. While you might not see a detective looking into your case, your issue will be documented and will be part of the police departments stats.
As others have said, boobie traps might sound like a good idea, but they aren't. As you have said motion sensors and car alarms don't stop someone who is really wanting to steal something.
Be pro-active - don't leave anything in the car that can be stolen (or seen to be stolen).
Didn't rtfa, but it seems like these guys are selling stolen bandwidth, stolen processing time, stolen electricity, etc. Can we please start charging malware, spyware, "anyware that does things w/o you knowing about it" makers with a crime!?
Sure, it's horrifying to see that someone could cheat, and most likely someone will try, but the polls have both parties monitoring, counting, and watching the process. Announcing the fact that the machines aren't fool proof or perfect is a wonderful thing for the process - aka more eyes will be watching and helping protect our election process.
These problems will be fixed, but there will always be voter fraud (ie dual voting - The paper found that 68 percent of the dual registrations are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans, and 16 did not claim a party).
Maybe they took the number of movies downloaded and divided by the number of internet users? Wait, no, the stat would then be 'about every Internet user has downloaded 10 movies.'
Sure it works, but it's hardly elegant. Just because you can pull some pastic off a few consoles and put the boards in one wooden box doesn't mean you should.
Sorry to be so critical, but I personally don't think it turned out to be worth the trouble. Now if it was a really small box it would be interesting.
Haven't they heard, or seen, people who trade tv shows don't care about quality. Higher quality is just a bonus. There are hours and hours of low quality 80's tv shows online for trade.
The problem isn't that the FCC is trying to make work for themselves or the government, it's that they are heading the call of a million overly sensitive people.
I personally am offended at a lot of what I hear on shock radio and tv, but I'm able to draw the line between something that is basically harmless and something that someone needs to be reprimanded for.
The FCC has been FLOODED by complaints lately. I admit that they could take it a little easier, but it's not completely FCC's fault. (well, it is, but letter writers are also to blame).
I've seen DDD's plasma conversion kit in action. The movies and videos that I've seen on it looks quite 3d - videos that weren't shot in 3d (like a madonna video). You'll believe it when you see it.

An increase in crimes = increase in patrol.

About 41% of all statistics are made up.

8 MB RAM
20 MB of uncompressed hard disk space
100MB of free hard drive space for the

Seems like quite a jump for just one point.

I only read mags that come free (depending on the industry you are in). There are dozens of them for the tech industry, and most are pretty good.
So, looks like we're going to have to buy this update, again. How much is it going to cost to steop up to 10.4.
See, it's called a "speed boost", not a "speed bump". The Celeron is a Pentium witha speed bump built in.
Realtime chroma key, basically. My 1995 Sony handycam could do this.
Sure, you look real invisible when you have a projector following you around.
Keyhole isn't free, but it's worth looking at - if you're into flying over a 3d model and zooming into practically anywhere!
It streams the data, 3d and 2d, while you moved around the globe.
Sounds like a James Bond film. The super villan will dump saline water into the ocean to cause climate change. ..and 007 has to stop him.
I've seen DDD's plasma conversion kit in action. The movies and videos that I've seen on it looks quite 3d - videos that weren't shot in 3d (like a madonna video). You'll believe it when you see it.
China risks isolating itself
That's EXACLTY what they are wanting. The Chinese government would like nothing better.
I was expecting a sound track! Crap, it's stuck in my head w/o even hearing it!
