Actually what I find irritating is that I finally get enough money to buy an iPod, go get it, and then suddenly there are brand new ones out about a month or two later which totally blow mine out of the water and make me want to shoot myself.
Otherwise, who cares about a roadmap? Are you really going to put off some major hardware provisioning decision because a roadmap claims (key word) that they will have such and such a product out by a certain time? They are almost always adjusted.
And yet the hardware producers continue churning out bigger, faster machines, as if anyone will ever need a 10GHz CPU. When will enough be, finally, enough?
It's because people keep using more and more things like perl and Java.
Let's not forget that SCO is trying to hijack the work of thousands. They are trying to collect from all Linux users. That's rather disturbing. It's a little different than a smear campaign against Linux.
Also, let's not forget that Chrisd is not required to hire you just because you worked at SCO. His note doesn't say whether he has actually had any SCO applicants either. No one at SCO is going to go hungry because Chris isn't hiring.
Why didn't Mr./Ms. codemonkey leave SCO around that time? They should be able to point to that if they are in fact someone who is sympathetic to the attack on Linux.
And, as in the case of The Matrix, how long until we see 20 movies done like this. How long until it becomes so cliche that you want to projectile vomit all over the screen just so that no one will be subjected to it anymore?
Indie Film Maker: Uhh, Industry? I don't think I can play your game. I think it's wrong. Industry: Okay Indie Film Maker, I respect your moral objection.

Linux doesnt really use the bios anyways, once it boots it reconfigures the system and pretty much ignores the bios. You only need enough bios to find the boot block and load the OS.
Right, but the problem is that as DRM becomes an accepted technology, your non-DRM compliant computer will go the way of the personal check. It will be one large pain in the ass to buy something online from major distributors. You'll "need" DRM. Then of course there is even the possibility of further legislation in this arena that requires computers connected to the internet to have signed OSs that booted from valid BIOSs.
This price reduction has to impact their bottom line...
That's why I like to buy direct. This works famously for most of the artists I like (who are usually indie, punk, hardcore) but I'm sure those of you out there who favor the mainstream can't do this.
Buying direct is the way to go because the band will not lose as much of the sale. They'll still need to foot their expenses but at least they aren't going to lose on some sales expense.
Save yourself some money and support your bands at the same time.

Your Internet ad was brought to my attention, but I can't figure out what, if anything, Evesham does, so rather than risk competing with you, I've decided simply to buy you out.

Mmmm... Ham.
No no. It's a copyright circumvention tool.
Try using Silly Putty some time, and press it ontop of a newspaper.
Yeah I think it must be. ;-)

OK sorry, cheap shot.
Dual DVI output: Drives two independent digital displays at 1600 x1200, or one at 3840x24005.
Nice.
Please, if you only knew what that meant.
So, if I'm an equal opporunity employer, that doesn't mean I am going to hire a Janitor who has never touched a computer to build desktops for me.
Your job history speaks to your qualifications and your character.
some stupid political stand

Appreciated. :-)
Heh. "0, Offtopic" for a joke.
Got humor?
Unless you are one of the poor suckers, er, I mean System Admins who has to maintain some Winboxes.
It's not like MS has had a perfect track record with stable, non-machine crashing updates.
Dupe? :-)

Of course, it was cool the first time.
...but reading on the computer stinks.
That explains all of the RTFAs on Slashdot.
But, it doesn't explain Slashdot.

That's strange; I didn't have to register.

Go ahead, throw your vote away!

Until no one sells one without DRM.
That's why opposition must be raised now.
I, for one, welcome our new Personal Computer overlords.
