And I want that bad boy small so it fits in my iPod. 1TB worth of music to go would be sweet. 1TB of music to go that's worth listening to would be better of course but there's zero chance of that happening.
How long would it take to listen to 1 TB of music? A simple calculation (with one assumption): 1 TeraByte / 192 kbps = 1.4 years. Non-stop. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
These are prototype shots. Of course, I don't expect Slashbots to realize that, and I already see people making judgement posts like this is what Longhorn will look like
Oh, OK. Microsoft released the prototype screenshots so we could see what it _won't_ look like.
Swiping licenses is used to prevent fake ids and it works very well. They are simply combining this with a way to keep track of trouble makers. Take off your tinfoil hats
That's right. Tinfoil hats are for when the state tracks you. This is simply the exercise of private property rights. Now, I _can_ imagine Big Brother looking at this and thinking, "hmm, nice monitoring system!"
It seems that, according to scientific philosophy today (and I say this as an observer, not a scientist), you still can't really believe this is _the_ truth about something. You have to keep thinking, "it might _not_ be true". I hear how a hypothesis must be "falsifiable"--what does that mean? So if science is a search for truth, how can you find it? And how does this experiment matter? I mean, didn't people already believe that relativity was (mostly, apparently, seemingly) true?
I was watching ER, and they had three of their products in promenetly displayed near some binders at the check-in nursing station thing. Why would a nurses station need to have software such as ArcServIT, BrightStor, UniCenter, etc.. all nicely lined up next to the monitor of their PC? It's just so odd, and does not fit in with the audience at all. These are Enterprise software suites that cost thousands of dollars.
Thanks, you explained why I went out and bought ArcServIT for my home desktop. I was helpless to resist--I couldn't really justify it, but just had to have it.
Being full of humans all governments will have corrupt elements. However, for example, communism is a fantasy which does not correlate with human nature. So it _is_ more corrupt than most other systems, because its assumptions about human nature are so wrong.
Slashdot Mirror
Just another group to put on my "must be destroyed by a Death Star" list. SCO, Spammers, Telemarketers, people who don't use their turn signals.
We're dealing with American government education here. The lack of knowledge of basic [insert any topic here] around here simply astounds me.

Because by 2006 the girth of the average American will span three time zones.
You mean my CEO is not a formidable titan of industry, strong, tough-minded, invulnerable? My illusions are shattered!
The star that burns the brightest burns the shortest.

How can something be owned by everybody and nobody at the same time?
Just replace them all with an all-purpose slide rule.
2) Revoke the licence, with appropriate publicity.
3) ???
4) Profit.
I have the answer to ???: Deploy a Battalion of Lawyers.
Because no rich benefactor has yet recognized your hidden genius?
Should have said: "I am working towards my greedy soulless self and not a greedy souless corporation." I mean, you _are_ American, right?

Did Amazon pay for that advert on Slashdot? (I mean the string in the []s.)
Only in a collectivist fantasy world where something is owned by everybody and nobody at the same time. (that is, "the people")
The government regulates the heck out of the airwaves. They are privately owned. That is a fascist condition.
You are right. The crap on TV? Everybody in the US loves it. That's our country.
You are wrong. Ctl-Alt-Del is fraught with meaning. In fact, David Bradley first gave it meaning.
_Two_ straw men in one sentence! Idiot...
Israel, too.

You make a straw man assumption that anyone not agreeing that only the state can provide these things must think these things not important.
But at heart how different are states? They want control and to stay in power.
