You obviously didn't read the arcticle. In the event of societal collapse the creator wants it to be serviceable with Bronze Age technology. An LCD display is most decidedly *not* Bronze Age tech.
Amazing how something can be modded up so high without any factual basis or citations. If Gates and Ballmer use Macs at all (which I doubt, and have never seen any evidence for) then it's most likely in order to 'know thine enemy', as well as to steal useful UI ideas.
Odd, considering the vast majority of phone users (even the fanatical phone users) are not typical gamers with typical gamer tastes.
I don't know what you're smoking but I want some! Every 'typical' gamer I know has a mobile phone, and many of them are also into games on their phones.
Also, remember that a 2.4 GHz is faster than two 1.2 Ghz chips, because of instruction set improvements.
Bzzzt. Better luck next time. A 2.4 ghz P4 is not faster than 2 1.2 ghz PIII's. The PIII had a higher IPC. Instruction set improvements? Instruction sets don't do much for performance either way; architecture does. Even if you're refererring to the evolving set of SIMD instructions you are still getting fewer things done on modern processors per clock cycle than with a generation or two back.
If you have to change some moron's battery then you aren't in networking. If you are *supposed* to be in networking in your current job yet are still forced to change batteries, find a new one. The onus lies on you, nobody else.
People who bitch and whine about the very people who make their own jobs possible never cease to amaze me. Such an elitist attitude.
Prior to online sales, the rule was that if the seller had what is called a 'nexus' (meaning a busines presence basically) in a given state, then sales tax applied. The buyer and seller did NOT have to be in the same state if nexus could be established.
While I disagree with this arguement, it *could* be argued that the Internet creates a presence in every state, far beyond the old days of mail order catalogs.
What it really boils down to is politicians on both sides of the aisle hate seeing money being exchanged that they can't get their greedy hands on.
This has nothing to do with relations. It has everything to do with the EU wanting to have access to it's own vehicles, and with Russia wanting an updated vehicle of it's own.
It's funny how we can't keep the political trolls out of even an article like this.
You're obviously a troll, but your logic is so flawed that you should probably turn your last statement around to point at yourself.
If I invent the automobile I'm not responsible for people stealing other people's cars. If I invent a tool that circumvents the lock and ignition system, even if it's just a 'proof of concept', then I bear some moral responsibility for it's misuse. Not the sole blame, mind you, but a certain level of responsibility.
You're missing a huge point. The reduncancy and spreading around of power is one of the mechanisms that ultimately protects liberties. To follow your reasoning we'd end up with one all powerful government. While we're heading in that direction anyways, I'm hoping that the States start to reassert some of their rights.
Interesting. I'm not sure I agree, but perhaps the first word was in response to a rock being dropped on some caveman's foot! Something to ponder at least.
I love it when people judge the state of the economy based on their own anecdotal experiences. There are plenty of jobs out there, just go look. The GDP is also steadily growing despite the high energy costs.
So then none of the corporations that 'donated' anything really dontated at all? You're spouting non sequiturs.
Bayer gave millions in medical supplies as well as money. Kellogg sent truckfulls of cookies and crackers. The list goes on. By your logic, none of those were donated.
I'm not a lawyer, and curious about the legal implications of this. I know that with China being a communist nation, that the people probably have no rights, but could Skype turn around and have a lawsuit against China Telecom, for "obstruction of service" or "tampering with service" which is essentially what they are doing?
It's hard enough to sue a sovereign nation for violating it's *own* laws, let alone over something like this. IANAL either, but I can tell you that a snowball would have a better chance lasting in hell than Skype would have in winning such a suit.
I'm not sure how you think the Chinese government will 'have to embrace' anything. If they want to block IP telephony they can and will. What does the legitimacy or functionality of the technology have to do with what a dictatorial, repressive government can and will do?

Try again, better luck next time.
My guess is that you tend to hang out around a lot of losers then. Your dataset is flawed.

Yes, I'm sure the engineers working on this technology never thought about that. Try harder to be funny next time ;)
I know you're being silly, but the topic is clearly stated in the thread title...;-)
Nice try though.
I don't see anything in the story submission that speaks to what is or is not P2P. It just talks to eDonkey's decision.

For some reason I read that as 'lysdectic'
There are theoretical models which postulate that life 'not quite as we know it' could evolve in a methane based ecosystem.

So it isn't a donation if it gives someone good press? Sorry but that is BS. A donation is a donation, whether it provides good PR or not.

He didn't say anything about it being a SFF PC. He just said (correctly) that a $600 PC can outperform a Mac Mini.
I don't think that posting it would be illegal. Using or deploying it would probably be. I too am NAL though.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of those!
No, seriously...I've been looking into building a poor man's cluster to play with and distributing Sh code to the various nodes.
