Or will that ever happen? HPNA might suck when you compare it to ethernet, but for those of us living in an apartment and having the only widspread outlets being phone outlets, HPNA is perfect. Yes we could run ethernet cable all over the place, but that would be more inconvenience than it's worth. This Mandrake stuff, supposed to be Linux for the home user, should really support Home PNA if they do in fact care about us lowly convenience people...
BTW, I love my aim being money, it makes me come up with great new things. Keep your $300 a month and mafia ruled country, have your space accidents with tourists on board kill the entire space program, and I'll stay American.
Because 5.5 years ago when I was a freshman at Clemson University I saw the same thing being done in the ceramics engineering department. All the freshman engineers had to tour the different departments to help them decide what path to take, and when I was on the Ceramics tour the guide showed us a science fair type piece of cardboard that had a small ceramic disc on the back of it. The disc had two little wires going to a small fm radio and when he turned the radio on I thought I was listening to one of those WaveRadio thingies. It blew me away and the first thing I thought of was I wish they could put those in cars so when the football players turned their bass up too high, if they had a disc on the trunk, at least it would rattle to the music!
Seriously though, I wonder what the Engineering college over at Clemson would have to say about this.
Seriously, if you MS spies or whatever you call yourselves are going to come onto slashdot and post up pro MS drivel in the face of criticism, the least you an do is try to mask it a little bit. Good Lord. That entire post is possibly the most ignorant, Microsoft Certified Shit Comment I've ever read.
I realize that I should not attack your post with only insults, so I'll give an example, but only one since I don't have much time.
You cannot honestly ask any company to ship their competitor's product with their own. That is an absurd idea at best.
The problem is not that MS Windows doesn't come with Netscape or Java or any other competition. The problem is that Microsoft makes contracts with resellers that say if they're going to sell Microsoft Crap.X version of the OS then they have to include certain things, and they have to leave out certain things (like netscape and java.) Therefore, the illegal action is not leaving the competition off their CDs, but forcing the computer sellers to only have MS crap on their machines. That's mafia-esque and just as illegal.
The present moderation system where all posters are created equal is nearly perfect! Please do not make the posts of people who pay stand out from those who don't pay, it would ruin the whole fun of slashdot. I'll glady view a few ads and even click on them from time to time, but I'm not going to pay for something that I've been getting for free. I think it would be extremely harmful to the nature of slashdot if divisions in representation happened because of this system. Removing ads for people that pay, hey, that's fair. Elevating their "worth" on slashdot, that's just not right.
For an example of how bad it gets, check out www.thetigernet.com
I'm using it on both a Windoze and Linux platform and I have to say that it is extremely fast, just like the slogan says. The program just feels lightweight the way it pops right up and "loads" all your pages instantly (ok so they're not always refreshed, but hey). Anyway, be sure to install the java lib with it under windows or you may have some problems there (at least I do sometimes) but under linux it doesn't seem to matter.
According to detective Shelton, as many as 250 customers were double and triple billed, without a single one receiving so much as a minute of DSL service. Local area advertisers were also out of luck, as checks from Mr. Dyer repeatedly bounced. Employees felt the sting as well, scammed out of thousands of dollars.
I guess they forgot a crucial step of Microsoft's business plan: if you're going to copy everyone else and offer something that's too good to be true, you have to have the MONEY to back it up.
Or just purchases? It all seems a little scary to me. Just think, if you buy a book in a store that is known to harbor anti-Japan literature, are you "marked" for special observation?
Remember the MPEG4 story a while back? They wanted to charge hourly rates for streaming video or something like that. Every time you used mpeg4 you had to pay. Well does MPEG4 fall under the W3C's definition of a standard and if so, does this mean they can't charge those rates after all?
The site I'm running is hosted by SlashHosting, and they use slash 1.0.9 or something like that. If you go to www.slashcode.com you'll see what it looks like approximately. It 1.0.9 doesn't use the template toolkit, yet I can still do whatever I want with it. True, my site does look a lot like Slashdot, and that's no mistake. I like the way slashdot looks and so I modeled my site after it. The slogan is lame, I know, and we're trying to think of a new one, but until then we're just being unoriginal, OK? Otherwise, if you knew the inner workings of slash, you would understand all of the customizations that are present on my site.
The site is for Clemson University. Clemson's colors are orange, white, and the occaisonal purple. Therefore, the sites colors are orange, white, and the occaisonal purple.
but how is it actually better? I'm running slash and I can customize every single thing... can you do that with Post Nuke? most of the nuke type sites I've ever seen have stark similarities, and reading the basic FAQ's and FMs led me to beleive that nuke is too dumbed down for someone who actually knows what they're doing. I think Slash is the best, so someone please give me ACTUAL EVIDENCE that nuke is better, and please no "it's just easier" because I don't want to hear that computer scientist-esque mumbo jumbo.
In a world where maiming/injuring/killing is A) necessary in cases of self defense and B) a favorite pastime of hunters everywhere (not to mention you don't maim/injure/kill shooting clays or targets), guns have perfectly legal uses, and that's what they're designed for. Why do you think they have a safety?
You're missing the point. Guns can be used for hunting, shooting games, killing people, armed robbery, all sorts of things. Pillows are used for sleeping, sitting, napping, shooting people, again lots of things. Nintendo cartridges have one purpose, to play video games. If you're selling "tools" to illegaly copy these games, you're committing a crime, because the tool has no legitimate purpose.
VHS, DVD, and the like are standards. Nintendo cartridges are not. The content of VHS tapes is protected, but not the actual device. In the case of the Nintendo cartridge, the entire thing is protected by copyright. This means that the precedent does not apply.
From the website:
The Flash Advance Linker is similar to a cradle for your handheld computer. It plugs into your parallel port and sends/receives ROM data from/to the game or flash cartridge. Once game data is transfered, the flash cartridge is used exactly like a normal game cartridge.
If you're selling products which can be used to copy Nintendo games, you're going to get legally screwed, that's just life. The DMCA is ridiculous when it comes to sharing mp3's and mpeg movies because those things are not exact duplicates of the original. This, however, is a device which someone could use to produce exact copies of nintendo games and then resell them, and that's just plain illegal, and justifiably so.
If they only had these for GameCubes (or Xbox, PS)

Also, there are certain pieces of hardware that just don't work with linux yet (HPNA for one), so maybe HP had to use more expensive chips or something in the linux version.

Settle down, it's just a joke.
Step 1: Offer orbital flights for $100,000
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
How can they lose?
OK, look at the situation: they want to do nanotechnology research, and they want big money to do it.
So what do you do? Tell the Army you can make soldiers invisible, especially with the war on terrorism happening, and watch the money come pouring in.

As corny as it may have been, I think you must be some sort of marketing genius. Of course the royalties paid to Google might add up on that one...

Here's the monetary impact the scam had:

Maybe people in this country would lose weight!
Maybe those manuals are just REAL expensive.
Also, there are certain pieces of hardware that just don't work with linux yet (HPNA for one), so maybe HP had to use more expensive chips or something in the linux version.
