The future of Windows is inside a VMWare virtual machine, running on a linux kernel and operating system.
However these technologies come together depends on how the market unfolds, but already it's quite clear. Servers running on the Linux kernel, with a Windows kernel running a desktop in a virtual machine (sandbox), safe from wrecking the machine with viruses and whatnot.
Um, it's a database query, how hard can it be? How about we bring BIND out of the dark ages and give it a relational database with (semi-) fast searching?
"I can also guess that they are a "hunt-n-peck"-typer"
Misordered letters in a word (AGIAN), surrounded by very good punctuation and no abbreviations, are examples of very fast typers, not slow ones. Spelling mistakes like that are usually caused by people's fingers hitting the keys in slightly the wrong order, as they're typing with all fingers.
By the looks of the Intel story below, Slashdot sure needs a good Bayesian spam filter. I recommend this. Or a baseball bat. Because you can go over to anti-slash and really pound some skulls with a baseball bat, and it would probably be more satisfying. But filters are good too, don't get me wrong.
Can you not do an IP address block on this crap? When is it EVER on-topic? How about a nice filter to catch any AC posts in the first 30 (some arbitrary number) comments on a thread on a story, and reject them?
Great way to get people modding when they have to wade through this racist bullshit.
From the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, passed in 1982:
Fundamental freedoms
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
a) freedom of conscience and religion;
b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
d) freedom of association.
So yes, we do indeed have freedom of speech, and it is protected.
I wish you luck using that credit card number without the appropriate expiration date. The FUD spreaders rarely mention the fact that exp dates are almost never stored with the numbers themselves.
Yes, we should stop immunizing. Cheating natural selection is bad. All we're doing is allowing people with inferior immune systems to survive to the detriment of their progeny.
I'll say this: I wish there was a way for humans to exist in a world where their genetic makeup was inconsequential, but that isn't this world. It does seem like a tragic case of throwing out the baby with the bathwater to let genetically inferior people die, but I think we should do it for the benefit of future generations. That way, they won't need to worry about these diseases, they'll be immune.
Natural selection is our greatest ally, yet we scorn it, because we value human life too highly. Much too highly. We're animals, and always were. Our status in this world has not changed in the last 200 years. Just because we're industrialized doesn't mean we're perfect. In many ways, we're more flawed than we've ever been, thanks to the love of soft living.
Better to include your enemies rather than exclude them, though. Forbidding them from using your software by license doesn't get them using the software, and you won't win until they are.
Columbia disintegrating, and those astronauts dying, was the best thing to happen to NASA in years. It stirred up the stagnant waters and started a process of change.
It's not tragic. It's just life. Sometimes people have to die for nothing for their lives to mean something.
Depends on the advance warning. With 30-40 years notice
You'll never have 30-40 years' notice. You won't know for sure if it's even going to hit you until more like the 2yrs timeframe, and even then, there's a chance it will miss. There is just no instrument on earth with enough accuracy to determine 90%+ that an asteriod is on a collision-course given that kind of time frame.
For instance, in Starsiege:Tribes, since the rendering engine has been successfully hacked, people have been able to write some clever and EXTREMELY extensive cheats -- you can customize the visibility of the terrain, of individual objects (like buildings -- make them partially transparent to see people around corners), remove fog from maps, have pointers to the person with the flag, and most infamously, change the model for the flag into a twenty-story-tall red and green stick figure with a gigantic smiley face. This cheat is known as 'Happy Flag', and it makes it pretty much impossible to confuse the enemy team as to the location of your flag.
This cheat is two years old. It was fixed by giving the option to server admins of forcing their client to do a CRC check of all files and sign it with the server's public key, on the local PC.
The laws are also contrary to the nature of the universe. Information is easily copied. Attempting to (unenforcably) restrict the copying of information, and ignoring the benefits that mass-distribution of information can bring (especially in education and the arts) is counterproductive. Might as well try to legislate against gravity.
It is only then that we reach our full potential in our academic and athletic pursuits which substantiate our integrity in the grand scheme of things.
Haha, what grand scheme of things?
Humanity isn't trying to reach for the pinnacle of its capabilities, it's trying to find more comfortable ways to live and fuck.
People want more power so they can do more cool shit, and do it cheaper. That's it.
Yes, we can and we shall. It is what makes us the leading society in the western hemisphere and as history as proved, it is our greatest asset.
Leading in all forms of waste and corruption. Nice example for the future. Here's a primer on human nature -- more of anything doesn't make people use it smarter, it makes them squander it faster. Western society is terrible for this.
Your post is an attempt to be modded insightful by using big words to sound profound. Nothing you've said makes any sense.

Who says I'm american? I'm not. But if you really want to hate someone, you'll find any excuse. Hate away.

More like "Living in California is known to cause an unknown disease." A disease of the mind.
In China, people are paid a pittance to do things, often menial things. That's not racism, that's a fact.

mod as funny please. thanks.
It's part of the Constitution Act. So yeah, it's in our constitution.

Usually. But when they don't, you're fucked. See the Vortex2 / 3DFX driver situation.

That file is 32 megs. Are you entirely certain that's the MS source code? I really, really doubt it.

Dear Slashdot Reader:
Thank you for pointing out to us the dangers of condensation. We have taken steps to address this problem.
Instead of simply dehumidifying the air, in true Tom's Hardware Style(tm), our next overclocking attempt will take place in the vacuumn of space.
Sincerely,

Cordless phones operate at 800Mhz, or 2.4Ghz. Not in the 2Mhz - 80Mhz range.

Anyone can patch their bios to be whatever they please. There will be hacked phoenix/ami bios patch files on kazaa inside of a week.
