Who are these "We" people you speak of? If you want story moderation privleges, go to Kuro5hin and stop whining on here. It's always been about stuff that interests Taco, Hemos, &co (not getting into andover.net stuff here), and that's how it is.
Personally, I like the posted site better than the Artisan one, but sometimes I'll also shake my head and wonder what the slashdot authors were thinking... but then I move on.
Yeah, good point. It didn't say whether or not they have credits, just that the Microsoft spokesperson said they didn't. I wasn't implying any blame on the journalist, anyways, but whatever....
We do tend to get a lot of interesting statements from Microsoft spokespersons, now don't we?:)
>Maybe what they meant was that credits were never directly listed from Microsoft. >If you wanted to see the credits it was related to a easter egg that you had to find.
Since so many people know that, I wonder why they didn't put it that way.... Even non-computer geek friends of mine know about these, instructions are all over the web on how to get at them.
I know I'm being picky, but the article states that Microsoft has never included credits in their products. Well, in IE4, not only was there an easter egg, but it included credits for the people who worked on the program. I don't know about other Microsoft products, but I know that that one definitely had credits in it.
We don't "finally" have competition. AMD has been a competition for Intel for a while now. Unless you want a knock-down dead gaming system, AMD has been a resaonable choice. My previous box was a K6, and it was just as good as any of the P-IIs of the time for my purposes, and a lot cheaper.
Maybe "we finally have competition on near equal footing" would be better, but that's just symantics.
And I wouldn't be too surprised in the case that if AMD completely wins over Intel (not that likely in the near future, but let's pretend it happens) that they won't be any better than Intel was when they were the clear industry sector leader.
So, the current state of two companies vying for the same position is nice for consumers. Hopefully, they'll both be able to continue for a while longer, and better+cheaper technology can reach the consumer in a nicer amount of time. Someone else noted that both Intel and AMD are trying to push their scedules forward on raw speed, not that it's that useful to J. Random Consumer at this point, but it's a nice step forward to be able to puch scedules ahead of time and get working chips rather than excrutiatingly long delays and/or bug-ridden chips.
Here's to progress.
Just a publicity thing?

LinModems?

Another company cashing in on buzzwords? I couldn't tell if they are going to write the drivers or just release some specs.
Also, when the article mentions how Linux users tend not to like software modems, I know that's the case. No one I know wants a software modem, it doesn't matter what OS you run, it's still not worth the cheaper price.
Slashdot Mirror
It's still the same company though, doesn't matter if it's running on different servers

Ah, but if you had read the book, and steered far clear from the movie, as I did, you'd probably see it the other way around...
Kevin Costner's inherent suck factor completely outweighed the merit of the original book.

Ah well, journalism, what can I say?

Again, just nitpicking....

Is it just me, or is this generic joke getting really old.
