Please mind your language. What you meant to say was: "It's 2009 you fucking idiot." (singular). kdawson is indeed a fucking idiot; the other "editors" aren't necessarily fucking idiots by extension.
I mean, they are, but we have to retain some sense of relative scale. They employ kdawson in much the same way that a bunch of plain girls always take a really fat, ugly one out with them to make them look better by comparison.
They could require devices to generate energy while on standby (by vapourizing invisible pink unicorns), and manufacturers could keep self-certifying their devices as compliant.
Do you believe that you retain a right to anonymity when arrested? If not, then what's your specific objection to being identified through your DNA?
Red herring. I don't want anyone touching me without just cause because of my right to personal liberty.
Yerrrs, well good luck with that, Mr I-know-my-rights. You know that in practice, you have fuck-all rights to remain un-"touched" once law enforcement decides to process you, yes? Your only choice is whether to shriek "Don't tase me, bro!", or to take it like a man.
...and cowing the populace into accepting such a relationship with the State as being normal. First, get the soft targets: the foreigners. Then start slicing away at the rest of us, one soft target at a time.
Our rulers - by which I of course mean the half dozen media moguls that control the teeming masses - will be the last to have to submit to carrying and showing Ze Papers. Up until then, they'll be running this as a "Ho ho, how British!" mirth piece, rather than leading the revolution.
Wishing doesn't make it so. The shift, if any, is to MacOS, which took an open source OS and locked the fucker down. I want a family sized blunt of whatever the article author is smoking.
We can start with the delightful observation that both clerks (Clerks?) recognised it as a Bat'Leth, and better, that the second one had the nuts to tell this honourless p'tak to go screw a goat. Even Star Trek nerds aren't afraid of other Star Trek nerds.
What he said, if you actually read his words in consecutive order, is that the MacOS port sold units, and the Linux port got him free advertising which he assumes boosted Windows and MacOS sales. His actual Linux sales are 5%. I have no idea why you think he covered the costs of his Linux port. Can you quote the actual words that imply that?
So native MacOS ports make money. OK, but since we're discussing WINE here, I'd like to know what on earth you think the connection is.
How likely is it that these things are a case of seeing things because we want to
Or because their grant money was running out. Malaysia is a very results-oriented society. I'm surprised they didn't dynamite the stuff out of the ground. Heck, for all I know, they did.
Don't forget the inner glow of our burning, seething hatred for the English. And the Welsh. And the Japanese. And other Scots. Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland.
95% of users don't consider the consequences. Stupidity isn't hard to understand, surely?
The other 5% of us are gambling that it will last long enough for us to get bored with all the games that we've rented from it, or at least long enough for them to stop playing on the hardware and OSen in our Flying Cars anyway.

Sure... now, how many bushels in a crate?

Yes, the link provides a great advert for the robustness and professionalism of WISPS...

Slashbots will post whatever populisms they want.
Uh... you are at a crime scene. You seem to be confusing a search of your person with a process that will identify your person.
Do you believe that you retain a right to anonymity when arrested? If not, then what's your specific objection to being identified through your DNA?
Clear enough?

They don't pay for the OS, noob: it comes free with the computer.
Look, you brought up PHBs. Let's not pretend that they're smarterer than they are.

Proof once again that the "editors" don't even read Slashdot any more. Dupe from yesterday, Taco. Yesterday.
I agree. We shouldn't read these articles, or respond to them.
OK, everyone ignore what I'm doing, and do what I say... wait for it... NOW.
It requires competent and professional management to identify these people though. So, EPIC FAIL in your basic premise.
Market share == vendor supplied hardware drivers or at least specifications that allow them to be written more easily.
Clear enough?
You're probably new around here, so I'll type this r e a l l y slowly to make it easy for you: nobody is saying that 2009 Iran is like 2009 India.

You there! Hand in your geek credentials. Real nerds don't buy, they make their own.

What are you smoking? How on earth would a trained judge understand the law better than a bunch of anonymous smelly hippies?
Fool! Kzinti and hominid genitalia aren't compatible.

It "works" just fine if you're unable to recoup any money from them. Good luck with that; really.
