When things get tight, I am sure those perks will be the first to go. During the big economic boom, the company I work for was constantly trying to find interesting perks to offer us, but now that things aren't going as well, they have stopped looking for new perks and have taken away some of the ones they added.
If you stare at anything for 6 hours straight you are bound to end up with some sort of eye strain. Granted, somethings will cause it quicker than others. This display sounds like it may cause problems for people with weak eye muscles, but it is probably something that you can adjust to over time.
Maybe it's just me, but I didn't notice any specification on whether tax was based on the merchant's location or the customer's location. If it is based on customer's location, this will be real pain for the merchants. I live in New York and the sales taxes differ from county to county (and they have been changing recently). I get the impression that they are going to base taxes on the merchant's location.
I agree, he deserves what he gets. The only relevance to the hurt sales point is that it could affect the damages figure when they decide how much to sue him for.

Well, like the parent post said, a non-windows system is not a guarantee of invulnerability. Granted, I wouldn't call MS=security risk insightful either- it's just common knowledge.
Not exactly. There are some weird people who have this idea that a single piece of data is a datum, and data is the plural of datum. Using that warped philosophy, it would be correct.
The FAQ on the website says that you will be able to modify them provided you change the name of the font so your modified version won't be confused with the original.
I read it before it was picked up here. Some guy got an email with the virus attached. He wasn't paying much attention, and he clicked to open the attachment in Kmail. Because of MIME stuff (or something like that), it associated the executable with wine and it was up and running before he realized what he'd done.
LCD = Liquid Crystal Display. The time is a result of the time that it takes the molecules to changed shape in response to the stimulus. Now, if we were talking about LED, then you would be correct in talking about diodes (not sure about the numbers).
It would definitely be nice to get rid of the legacy cruft and move to a different architecture, however I doubt that this will happen until Intel and AMD start hitting major stumbling blocks. The itertia just seems to great. From what I hear (sorry I don't have a source, but I think I heard it in my Computer Architecture class), the cores of the current x86 chips are essentially RISC, and have a translation layer wrapped around it (convert x86 instructions into the internal RISC instructions).

It's not really a big deal, but looking for little tricks to deal with little problems is good practice and gets you used to trying to think of multiple ways to do something. Training yourself to attack a problem from multiple directions can be useful when trying to find a solution to a more difficult problem.

If you are so hung up on quality of writing, why are you reading /. ? It reads a lot better than anything written by the people I knew in college.
Yes I know it is anal, but I believe that he had been standing on the toilet and hit his head on the sink.
He wasn't talking about it from an admin point of view. He was talking about it from the point of view of a user who is not the admin for the machine.

Why do you wear a watch in the shower? Unless you are timing your spank time, I fail to see why you should be wearing it.

Yes, he was definitely an integral part of Newton's failure.

They'll be scrutinized, they just won't be punished.
I just checked out brak.slashdot.org and over there, I have 30 mod points! What's up with that?
And apparently, the moderators didn't read it either.
Windows 2000 *does* suck. It justs sucks less than earlier versions of windows.
33 Fahrenheit is cold. That's just above 0 C

If you would read the article, you would see that the new screen has an excellent viewing angle (165 degrees if I remember correctly).
I think he meant no water based equivalent (no hot-shot submarine guys).

Bah... just substitute chicken and it will taste the same.
Yup, news is always slow when I have mod points. Darn, now I have to find another thread to burn them on.
