I realise your point is most likely about books under copyright restrictions, but thought I should point out that Project Gutenberg has been in operation since 1971.
Much more so if your cat is more than five years old. I've seen what the mesh looks like after years of heavy use, and I'm surprised any exhaust fumes can still pass through at all!
XP SP3 is much younger than that, but that's beside the point.
Corporations don't have anything to upgrade to. Vista and 7 are absolutely geared for home use and very poorly suited for corporate desktops.
Just one example; say your lab workstations are used by several people, and is in more than one AD domain. In XP/2000/NT you would log in by typing your username, password, then select the domain you wanted (including the local machine if desired). In Vista/7 if you want a different domain to that of the previous user, you have to type DOMAINNAME/username, with no completion or sanity checking. If you have a long domain name such as FEYNMANGROUP then you're in for a lot of pain. Of course MS were kind enough to remove the ability to change the logon screen (the way you would roll your own msgina.dll in XP).
Thanks for reminding me about those 3D TVs, I'd forgotten that aspect of them. Can your graphics card put out more than 60Hz on its DVI interface though?
I'm still a bit disappointed that even the best LCD monitor I've managed to buy can only manage a 60Hz refresh rate. It's one of the few areas where CRT still has an advantage - under-drive a CRT's resolution (say run a 1280x1024 monitor at 1024x768) and you can often get a 100Hz refresh rate. Provided your CPU, graphics card, etc can keep up games and other simulations just look that much better, not to mention the tactical advantage in rocket arena style games:)
Well, yes. It's people like you who keep requesting free samples with no intention of actually purchasing anything from them that has caused entire universities and countries to be banned from the sample program.
Uh, I thought the fact that banks *were* loaning out wads of cash to high-risk low-equity customers was a heavy contributor to the current mess we're in.

Anything that shuts down those litigious Rambus bastards is likely a positive move.
"Over 7.5 Million Facebook Users Are Under 13 61"
Got to love Slashdot's broken layout, showing me the number of comments right there in the headline. Still, this one made me giggle:
"AMD To Support Coreboot On All Upcoming Processors 133"
After reading the background of what's happened, is anyone here seriously considering giving Apple money ever again?
If they are, I suggest a clue stick is needed.
Apple will be irrelevant before too long, with Grand Moff Jobs tightening his grip further.
How's the Android version coming along?
You mean like governments?
Well, that and the same story was posted here over two weeks ago.
I see what you did there.
Some of us at least try not to.
"Made in China" is synonymous with "Do not buy" in most cases.
Unfortunately it's not so easy to apply this to electronics products at this stage.
Which exactly makes you (or whoever the collective "we" is referring to) a major part of the problem.

Bloody submarine patents.

Well yes, if the theatre is actually on fire.
(not that I disagree with your point at all, but that needed to be said)

Please stop.
Wait a minute. 1.5% of profits. Is that correct? As in one point five?
You're bitching about having to pay a tax of 1.5% on your company's profits?
*shakes head*
Fuck Apple.
That is all.
Can we please stop sending manufacturing to China? Let them deal with their own economy, instead of screwing our own.
I'm still amazed at how the Microsoft trojan managed to work his way into Nokia so effectively. Someone must have let it happen.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could have happened?
Ever since they won you independence from the Brits, right?
Uh, I thought the fact that banks *were* loaning out wads of cash to high-risk low-equity customers was a heavy contributor to the current mess we're in.
See this.
Will you retract your statement now?
