I used to work for bn.com in a temp summer position, and as an employee of Barnes & Noble I was entitled to the employee 15% or 20% discount (can't remember the exact figure).
For up to six months after I stopped working there, I was still able to use my ID card (which they forgot to collect upon termination) to get my discount.
If they can't keep track of their employees, why would they bother to keep track of your money?

Wow you just described the scheme they use in the article!
No, the problem with the demo units was on the developer's side. They included older versions video libraries with the source code, or something like that.
What did the "idiot employees" do wrong? Besides if it was possible in the first place for an "idiot employee" to cause the system to crash, that means all of the idiot consumers would do the same exact thing!
Slashdot Mirror
Zim was absolute genius in terms of art, use of CG, and just flat out hilarious writing. I'll miss this one a lot.
So why didn't you guys ever talk about it on here and let us know about the show, and maybe turn some more fans onto it?
You're kinda forgetting that RedHat is far from the only version of Linux out there.
Don't forget that the author of the article submitted the link to Slashdot himself. Isn't that kind of spamming?
open source DRM?
I don't know anything about DRM, but would that work?
Instead of the hows of doing it, I'm more interested in the whys of doing it.
Like the library's bookmobile?
You must either 1) be a Windows expert or 2) never installed any programs, drivers, or additional hardware since you installed Windows 98.
Of course the article mentions no specific problems that he had with Windows or anything useful and relevant, just that it "freezes".
Just more random MS-bashing from Slashdot.
Given box-office returns H.P. should get all the Oscars
Well then it's a good thing that box-office success doesn't determine award-winners, otherwise Pearl Harbor might win a few awards.
um because it was made (i.e., paid for) by American companies and film studios?
must be nice not to have a job
Doesn't Homestation sound a bit too much like Playstation?
How about leaking the "no more leaks to the Register" follow-up? :-)
So, how much do black-strip encoders and decoders go for?
How easy is this to start doing?

Thanks for summarizing.
So is it Linux's fault or New Jersey's?

Don't blame my state
hey, the ODB got arrested for wearing "body armor" aka a bulletproof vest here in NY...
Very very true.
Microsoft has already spent the $400 on the manufacture of the X-Box (if said figures are true/accurate).
You would be hurting Microsoft even more if you never bought a system in the first place.

i hate to have to clue you in but psst i think thats what his joke was about
its called SARCASM
Win 9x doesn't have a true login feature - its an attempt to log into MS Networking, though 99% of the world doesn't use that anyway.
What are some other distributed computing projects worth joining and donating cycles to?
So how does one join the Slashdot team?
you're a Microsoft Computer Engineer?
Wow...
