The fact you thought there were two "sides" of the coin to begin with is just troubling on its own.
Last I checked the only premier of Ontario to not totally lie through their teeth and misappropriate money to their friendly "sponsors" was almost thrown out for doing what they promised to [Mike Harris if you're wondering...].
A good voter knows their vote doesn't count but uses the vote as an excuse to duck out of work earlier....
Last I checked copyright infringement was still illegal. Does society need more laws that state copyright infringement with P2P is now illegal?... I mean honestly P2P development is strict freedom of speech. Not to mention the good that comes from it [e.g. BitTorrent].
Laws like this make me proud to live in a backwards country such as Canada.
As I understand it they pointed out who the owner of the console firm was [e.g. his past] which was fairly accurate based on the fact that all the people they contacted didn't want to admit the truth... [e.g. some degree of freedom].
It's also true that while getting investment for yet another business they have yet to actually produce a unit. [Recall: the dudes previous business ventures were flops too].
So if anything the original article may have had some inaccuracies but the overall picture is right. e.g. this dude is a V.C. scammer looking for the next big dig.
Um, you plomp a 200GB disk in the thing. Sit in the middle of your house and have a massive file share between all of your computers. Sounds like a good idea specially if your house is wi'fi'ed up.
You don't need a lot of speed for applications like streaming media, loading applications, saving documents, etc...
I wouldn't use this as a primary drive of course for the speed issues but that doesn't make it totally useless.
One point though is knowing "of" other languages and being able to learn them as required [e.g. being smart about computors] is more important than memorizing parts of "cobol for jackasses" books.
well sorta I guess. An analogy would be if a carpenter claimed to know how to use all tools of the trade yet never actually builds anything.
I dunno, I take this from experience. At school many of my friends put on their resumes that they can "code" in C, C++, Perl, Java, Javascript, PHP, etc. yet haven't accomplished a single thing in any of them outside of the usual lab assignment.
While new programming languages aren't always a bad thing they have to serve purpose. Perl in my books is cool because it's a fast and expressive language that has handy string/hash/array ops. But langs like Java/C++ really are just a dime-a-dozen. Might as well stick with C for compiled languages...
MSFT made computers "accessible" and "useful" to the masses in the early 80s/90s. They really are losing their place in the world with the availability of a bazillion distros of bsd/linux though...
So really a world with MSFT is not a world I'd want to live in.... unless it rained donuts like in that simpsons episode...
Oh and...um.... baba booey baba booey baba booey howard stern rocks!
Oooh ooh they can track what you buy via RFID.... THIS IS NOT NEW!!!!!! It may be easier with RFID but you are still in plain sight.
People like you make real privacy issues harder to argue because there is too much noise going around about things that are ***not*** privacy issues!!!!
Whoever modded the parent up as "interesting" should be fucking shot.
Is that where you got that original simpsons joke too? Asshat... Next you'll try to sell me a genuine sorny, magnetbox and your loose loose mother...
Now go write a book of your witty comments and sell it. Chances are the fat whore oprah will feature it on her yuppy ignorant book of the day club and you'll become rich! The american dream! cashing in on other peoples hard work and calling it "strategy!"
Hi, Bienvenue chez Canada, notre oh fuck it I forgot high school..
Um shittard, the cannuck buck has been about as worthful as your whore mother on a "toony tuesday" night...
Fucking smacktards, think your the first at everything... fuck... oh no, you're only a war criminal driven autocrazy.... and someone you think a momentary weak dollar [to be cured with strategic bombing of an orphanage hostel of mass destruction] is like shocking.
Here's a tip, get 1000$ of your US dollars, take a trip to Canada, buy a 230 acre estate and quit your bitching.
wrap a copper coil around your desktop and run the same amount of power yuppy americans waste on their latte machines every second through it for a picosecond or so....
oh shit wait... that was a jackass episode...
fuck you all you fucking/. readers and fuck your loose whore mothers too!!!

You got room to rent? Mind if you email the location/cost/etc? Cuz I still live at the parents home and need a place to move out too ;-)
[and yes, I'm serious...]

At the very least Intel gave the blue men group a job for a while.
Can't be libel if it's true. ;-)

Need to? I find most people that brag about knowing a dozen languages never really use any one of them.

How about I try to help by breaking down your door and snooping through your house?
Asshat.
The real problem I have here is that GNOME is a free OSS organization. It's like stealing from charity!!!
so just patent the idea, wait for someone todo all the hard work then "optimize" the situation a bit.
Duh, as if you don't understand amerikan business. Fucktards like you ought to pay attention in your beer-guzzling business ethics 101 classes...
Is that where you got that original simpsons joke too? Asshat... Next you'll try to sell me a genuine sorny, magnetbox and your loose loose mother...

yes, but with the internet we don't have to deal with fucktards like you in person at least.
I'd like to keep a few km of copper between me and the highly educated community college half-wits that run this world.
Are you some kinda of retard or do you actually try hard each day to be that insightful?
People like you make me ashamed to be human. Now go run a fortune 500 business into the ground and parachute out already.
who says I "became" bitter? I always hated the smacktards here. I was just less motivated before.
I'm on the road to recovery!
oooh... enya... playing....blladfhgs what the? MUST KILL MANKIND....
Dude, I was never fucking cool. You only thought that because you were an ignorant fucktard who didn't know fucking better.
Take pride in knowing you learned something today!
