Which clue would that be? How l33t it is to h4x0r a b0x0r and put linux on it?
Here's a tip. Just because you can put linux on it doesn't make it cool. More often than not these "toys" have fairly complicated processors that are well suited for it. Putting Linux on an original Gameboy, now thats a feat.
Eitherway, if I chucked out the money for a console I wouldn't risk breaking it so I can tell my l33t h4x0r storiez to my possy.
Not really funny. First off who would buy an Xbox for the sole reason of installing some half-backwards OS like Linux? Personally if I chucked out a couple 100 $ I'd want to "play" with it.
{insert country name} has decided to move away from Windows to [linux|bsd|QNX|opendos] due to [political|security|economic] reasons. The [OSS|GNU|Richard Stallman] is [very|GNU] happy.... Move along... nothing to see.
"become a bad idea"....... In the eyes of lame-ass script-kiddie mofo spammer jackass SOBs...
Not that I think low of them... I mean as a business what intelligence does it take to waste GBs of internet bandwidth while annoying the hell out of millions people? If people actually they think they are original in doing this [as the bitch in the article seems to think] then they need to pull their heads out of their arses.
And btw the "National Review" editor in the US can go fuck himself. Bomb Canada? What the fuck is that? They already do! Hello, can we say 4 Candians dying at the hands of some lame-ass script-kiddie fighter pilot? Fuck man, you yankees have troubles with your memory... Apprently if its not currently on CNN you forgot it...
If people just stopped reading spam alltogether it would lose its profix margin and become a bad idea.
Also, that chick is some bitch. "Well I know its unpopular and a waste of money for others, but its not illegal so what are you going todo about it?" attitude is why people hate spammers in the first place!
While I most certainly agree with the sentiment their *is* a certain level of restraint we should get used to using if we *humans* want to keep living here.
More notably stupid friggin US disposable products. Who the fuck thought up the "swiffer" or whatever its called. Ever heard of a fucking broom? Fuckin middle class idiots have probably killed more people than all of the worlds tyrants put together.
Similarly yuppies with cars, eight TVs, 6 million 40W lights, etc... [I'm guilty of some of these to an extent]. I still laugh at people with SUVs when I think of gas prices, hehehehehe
While we won't affect the existance of Earth *our* survival depends on us taking care of the place.
There is no sub-exponential solution. There are fully exponential solutions. That is test every possible code fragment for performance. [obviously there are limit to how long a code fragment can be.. etc...]
Both SRAM and DRAM require constant power to reliably store data.
SRAM differs from DRAM because the cells that hold bits are always charged [howstuffworks has a diagram, basically its 5 logical gates in feedback]. As a result SRAM takes more power but has no refresh delays [and is bigger]
DRAM uses capacitors to store the data and requires refreshing. This makes DRAM smaller, less power instense but much slower.
For example, cache inside processors is a version of SRAM. If SRAM were as cheap as DRAM we'd be seeing 2MB caches common place nowadays...
Cuz people are yuppy idiot drivers already. Giving them another way to not drive well is just insane!
I swear I should go out with a video cam sometime. Would be fun to show around...
In case your curious I live in the middle of a stupid middle class city where everyone is a soccer mommy or daddy driving either suv's or minivans as if compact cars are satans work. They all roll through stops, never check before changing lanes and generally speed.
Then these are the people that gripe over their little timmy getting creamed by a 100km/h mom-mobile.... talk about hypocracy!

TOS anyone?
If they pre-emptively banned you [that is before you even login] then yes, but if you're an ass and abuse the service... well tough cookies.

So what? Its their service. They could if they wanted ban all people with 'e's in their name.

"I don't know about you, but the fact that Xbox Live doesn't work with dial-up prevents me from considering buying it."
Who wants to play MP games over dialup anyways? Isn't the whole point to show off how rich you are by having broadband?
Tom
Hahaha funny. Did you think of that joke all by yourself or did you have help?

or just support bzip2?
It beats deflate all the time and is free too.
Tom
Unless you desperately need the SUV why not take a bus or other public transportation? Would be cheaper and better for the environment/economy
Unless you're hauling lumber through off-road terrains you don't need to drive an SUV and I'd personally be happier to see them outlawed.
Tom
Obvious snyde remark.... arson is illegal.

There are sounds within the bandwidth you can't hear or won't notice.
What do you think psycho-acoustic modelling is? [e.g. MP3, Vorbis, etc...]

Anyways... Peace out.
Depends on how you read it.
"$10.00 per month, up 50% from the previous $5 per month"
Could read as
"$10 per month compared to last month which was 50% of this bill."
As in 50% of 10$ not 5$, which is true or
"$10 per month which is 50% of 5$ higher"
which is not true.
Tom
[hint: I know your point is right, but for the sake of being an ass I can't agree... hehehe]
I would argue that coca cola bottles are desireable.
If you're at a movie and I show you a windex bottle, a bottle of salt water and then a cool red labeled bottle of coke which would you go for?
Its all about brand recognition. While you really don't want the bottle, you actually want the bottle because of what it gives you.
Similarly the end user may give a ratsass for Windows but they want it anyways so they can get their apps.
Now that I said that I can't remember which side of the arguement I'm on...
Tom

Tom
Troll much?
Since when can you not write open and innovative software on a MS platform?
People like you give idiot-yuppie-zealots a bad name.
Tom
And once again you completely fly by my point.
You say people want MS Word. That's good. But they have to take the fact it works on MS Windows [and MAC OS for that matter].
Again, "Why does my coke come in a coke bottle!"
If you don't like that route there are alternatives. Corel WordPerfect, Sun StarOffice, etc....
Tom
I agree. Man was that horrible. I could make better music by dropping a drum set down a Tibetan mountain side.
Tom
And what is your point?
So basically you're saying this.
Some user wants to use Word [a MS product] but is baffled [or miffed] that he has to use Windows [also a MS product] to use Word.
And word processors don't exist for Linux?
That's like saying you want a Ford frame for your next/first car and are pissed that you have to buy a ford!
Or that coke comes in coke bottles!
Tom
All very good points. Oh wait W2K lets you do JUST THAT!
Tom
By your logic windows is a "word processor" or "web browser" etc..
The core of windows is the win32 and C API [among other things]. explorer is just an app like word or Excel.
In theory it should be possible to take the core win32 api and completely remove explorer et al. from the system.
