This is a site in a location where most of the power is from coal fired generators. Totally lacking in foresight. What happens when coal generation is banned in a few years?
1) The existing distribution system failed, and ceded electronic sales to 1 party: Apple. Once all the other minor players are killed off Apple will eat the RIAA.
2) The paid distribution model is doomed in any case. Drive away enough customers and they will find other things to do, other places to get music, and, most importantly, they will ignore your promotions. Once the consumers dictate the fashion, the distributors become irrelevant.
Well, this is obvious: As Dell is already to be known as being in Intels pocket,see teh voluntary payment of over $100 Million regarding the lies about disclosing the payment of rebates.
Intel could not buy AMD as it would get blocked, and the PR optics would be horrible
This provides a clean exit for all concerned. Intel controls Dell, which controls AMD
Intel gets the AMD GPU tech and some patent licenses.
They spin the AMD parts as the low end in desktops.
Dell gets an insurmountable lead over HP , at least until Intel cuts a bigger deal with Chinese manufacturers.
Most importantly for both, the price competition for CPUs is over. And will never return.
Problem is that it does not gather enough fuel at lower velocities, so is not much good "in system". Collecting dust also has a price in terms of drag.
True, and more and more, we see that without the big names like Red Hat, Oracle, Ubuntu, etc. paying developers to code this,it is not easy for a project like this to progress effectively. However, we shall see what transpires with Libre Office.. If Oracle manage to muck that transition up, perhaps there is still a place for K Apps.
After the past 2 years of endless unstable and uselessly incomplete releases, who the heck uses KDE any more?
The lack of coherency make it such a nightmare to support, that vendors who pre-load Linux, like Hard Data or even Dell, will no longer provide a KDE environment as a supported platform.
It is telling that both Red Hat and Ubuntu install Gnome as their default.
It is pretty obvious that the reason men lean to the Android side is that more men actually do some product research before buying. As a result they find that the Android choice is technically better and offers some freedom of choice. Whereas a lot of women go with the standard "Apple stuff is easy"
Most phones on most OS types do not get security updates. Not a function of the OS, and Is a function, or lack thereof, by the phone provider, who are usually the telco for wireless services. And their argument often is: "We provided the phone, as is, and "free" to you. We owe you nothing."
Agreed. There seems to be no evidence to support the "hoax" hypothesis. However, no surprise that these sites are being hosted at , shall we say "shady" colo sites? Probably the same ones that one finds spam and botnet servers at.
A) Stop exporting your economy and jobs, start paying more for consumer goods.
In other words ban or heavily tariff/surcharge all Chinese made products.
B) STFU and keep buying all your stuff at Walmart.
It all sounds good at first glance. And then one notices the source: Scientists? No. A public employees labour Union. And where do they spend their political funds? Opposing the incumbent party. It all boils down to the people with the political agenda having the loudest voices.
Let's just say it would all be much better to them if the government in power was the NDP. At least they think so!
His bosses ( the record labels) have decided that every day they delay change is a another days of obscene profits. The status quo suits them just fine. They absolutely do NOT give a crap about you, me or anyone who is not a member of the RIAA.
He is merely doing his job.
Do you like it? No. Do I like it? Of course not. Why should that matter?
Nonsense. I have a Nexus One. Flash works just fine. There is also the YouTube app, which runs if you do not have Flash. There is no discernible difference.

I can.
I got the OTA on my N1 last week on Thursday.
Thousands of others did.
Read some of the Android and Nexus One forums!

Since these laptops ship with no actual Windows media, does this mean you BUY new OS copies for each machine?
That is "Bussard" , after Prof. Robert W. Bussard, who postulated it first:

I think it may a bit too late for that..
If FB will share that data, then I suspect they will share their backup data as well..
Trust me, you will not need it and will get over it in about 2 seconds.
How about the Scroll Lock? Used that one lately too?
How about that "`" key, the one right below the "~"?
Oh, and the ever useful Windows key.

At first glance, you might think "Flamebait"
Fair enough, however:

who the heck uses KDE any more?

Ah, one of the Apple Fanbois went and rated this down as "flamebait".
How predictable.

Kind of the Barbie Doll "Math is hard" schtick.

Not a function of the OS, and Is a function, or lack thereof, by the phone provider, who are usually the telco for wireless services.
And their argument often is:
"We provided the phone, as is, and "free" to you.
We owe you nothing."
Again, not unusual.
So what?
I do not understand what makes this an "interesting piece of news"
We see Windows security updates weekly.
IOS? regularly.
Is this some "special" weakness?
Agreed. There seems to be no evidence to support the "hoax" hypothesis.

CarolinA Internet - Lets get that name straight first.
They are in Charlotte, NORTH Carolina - Lets get the location right as well.
They are well know for hosting porn and other dodgy sites.
AND they are crooks. A lot of their equipment has been fraudulently obtained.

There, just setting the facts straight.
A very simple choice:
A) Stop exporting your economy and jobs, start paying more for consumer goods.
In other words ban or heavily tariff/surcharge all Chinese made products.
B) STFU and keep buying all your stuff at Walmart.
You apparently watched Part 1, and not Part 2 ( yet).
No, I state this as I deal with many Canadian scientists at several institutions, both government and private sector.
This is the concensus of what I hear from them.
And you have a great skill at insulting people!
It all sounds good at first glance.
And then one notices the source:
Scientists? No.
A public employees labour Union.
And where do they spend their political funds?
Opposing the incumbent party.

Hello little troll..
Now run along back to Vista..
It is there, just not easy to find..
Go to the "My Info" tab.
Then Look in the menu button ( at bottom) and you find:
"sign out"
That is a pretty amusing point of view.
Not too fricking likely, but still amusing.
Like a 4 year old cute and amusing.
Just not very practical, useful, or realistic.
No, he is NOT an idiot.
His bosses ( the record labels) have decided that every day they delay change is a another days of obscene profits.
The status quo suits them just fine.
They absolutely do NOT give a crap about you, me or anyone who is not a member of the RIAA.

Do I like it? Of course not.
Why should that matter?
Nonsense.

This is just Apple Fanbois trolling..
