You can't really gauge the efficiency of sandybridge (the current cycle of intel i3/i5/i7 cpus) by their "northbridge" heat. It's true that these chips don't draw so much power, but with sandybridge platform has memory controllers and integrated graphics right in the CPU; you can guess that these two components draw the most power. It's probably still a minor win for power efficiency, but it's not like there's been a huge efficiency breakthrough.
Ignoring politics is the wrong decision particularly in a discussion involving honeycomb. Check out the forums at tabletroms.com and you'll find that the notion ink adam is far and away the most popular tablet among enthusiasts - the group containing the largest amount of current and potential developers. There's no honeycomb for the adam or for that matter most of the other tegra2 tablets which are equally capable to the motorola xoom. Android has a great position in the market because up to now google hasn't resorted to the bullying and special treatment of other platforms. Google has failed to realize that this fair treatment and openness is a key to their success before honeycomb, and this failure is having a large impact on the success (or ultimate failure) of their current version.
Did the DOA product have above average build quality? Otherwise I'd agree, but if you read tech reviews lately that seems to be all that reviewers even care about.
WSUS is a great idea but it doesn't make a lick of difference in this case. WSUS must be configured by a setting on the client (and applicable via group policy); if the ISP wants to force you to download updates through them they won't be doing it using WSUS.
"Commonly assumed" isn't exactly a statement of fact, and the wikipedia article avoided citing any source by avoiding stating it as fact. As anyone knows from high school biology the male gene is less likely to develop and so in fact the common assumption is that more females will be born.
Don't forget about those who have viruses but the malware removal tool was unable to either detect or remove them. If you can't churn out a virus that can beat the standard set by microsoft you're in the wrong business.
I'm not against Microsoft including anti-virus software with their OS; to me there's a difference between features (like IE) and protection (like, well not microsoft security essentials).
MSE doesn't currently have a positive impact on OS security, and it won't even if it's built in. Currently popular viruses aren't even detected by MSE and the ones that are usually aren't removable. Sure, it's better than McCafe but given the ready availability to users it's the first AV targeted by virii, and it isn't very well protected from rogue processes.
Even with improvements over XP, windows 7 is a basically insecure platform; UAC was a good idea, but it doesn't work and it's not enough alone. Code signing isn't a valid solution when "trusted" CA's are only in it for the money and they're in a market position where failure increases their potential future market. Lowering exploit counts and making a workable UAC would be time better spent by Microsoft.
He's probably referring to the relationship of an OEM who is granted an illegal discount.
On the one hand this company now has fewer market options; in today's market this is a minor inconvenience and often a blessing in disguise; global markets don't favor companies that have a hundred mediocre solutions.
The OEM's advantage to receiving illegal discounts regards how this effects potential competition - if Microsoft or Intel offer the big players half-off for their exclusivity agreements the barrier to entry climbs for small businesses. This can create a situation where an individual will spend more on the components of a computer than the complete product with support agreements from one of these laughing OEMs.
The lucrative situation doesn't make this any less wrong, it still hurts consumers and small businesses alike.
You mean the GNU Public License? Just because RMS didn't write a LISP program to write the actual C code himself using emacs on a mainframe at MIT during the 80s doesn't mean it's not GNU.
Windows 7 32bit is a different operating system. It doesn't have the security features of the 64bit version, doesn't support large amounts of memory and is in almost all ways inferior to windows XP. I'm tired of people bringing it up.
Given that Sony simply imported the data from one "child" company to another I don't expect that the owner of the company matters. It interests me that by closing the service on one company and opening it on another (along with a completely new TOS), would clauses regarding forcing a customer to use arbitration then be rendered void? The EULA is a legal document which supposedly forms a contract between one party and another; by failing to continue to provide service on the original company sony has breached that contract.
What of the millions (of 77+ I'm sure there's a few) who have yet to agree to the new EULA. Even in the case that one or both EULAs contain requirements that users handle disputes through arbitration I'd expect many individuals would not be held to these requirements at all.
If only there was some way we convince those third-world political forces to respect our "IP" authority. We face a greater ethical dilemma; is it right to enforce IP protection by military power? I think most americans would say no, but what alternative do we have? Once the cat is out of the box there's little that can be done to right it, and from what I understand the developing world (our manufacturing outsource channel of choice) continues to build 1960's car designs from both GM and VW. These designs don't sell in developed countries (likely only due to trade embargos), but with trade balance against us, that type of problem will be minimized for the "pirates" of these corporate machine countries.
Is it time that our annual trillion+ dollar defense budget brought some sort of return on investment?
I see you've never had to use an unsigned driver. Unless you're a bootloader or certificate authority guru (yeah, neither of the related tasks are simple), you're going to have trouble.
I'd agree that blueboxes are a step above jailbreaking in that you are actually using infrastructure instead of just your own device; I wouldn't call it theft in the case of "Ma Bell" though. The infrastructure was paid for by the people, should they not be allowed to use it without paying a corporation with no investment again?
Adobe certainly has their load of responsibility for this problem but did you really expect to have a smooth operation running a combination of two OS's and two architectures?
Are you an intel shill? Did you not hear about the 1156 burnt pads?
To answer your question they won't be moving to pads, AM3+ will retain compatibility with previous processors by retaining the same basic socket as AM2 chips.
Are you implying that there are more zip files floating around in workplace environments than there are rar files floating around bittorrent and other file sharing worlds? Honestly, considering the feature set I wouldn't even consider winzip to be a contiguous archive format. It was intended to compress small collections of files in the early days and true "archive" features like multi-part files or archives larger than 4GB have only been added to select programs outside of specifications.
I will concede that if you consider popularity strictly from the perspective of public knowledge zip (weather or not it's a true archive) would easily win. If we were to look at the number of files or size of files stored and transmitted nothing will come close to RAR.
There's a reason why RAR is the most popular archive format, it provides small files and sound performance, especially on multi-core systems. As long as you're not doing anything illegal the severity of encryption isn't an issue, the DMCA makes snooping encrypted files or communications punishable with extreme repercussions.
Somebody posting at 2 points should know better than to make stupid incorrect analogies like that. Broadcasting unencrypted WiFi is more like leaving your furniture on the front lawn, or even on the curb with a "please take" sign. Even so, your communications aren't being stolen, they're simply being recorded. That's the real issue here, governments love recording citizens, but when someone else does it they feel jealous. That's why google is being ordered to hand over the data instead of being fined.

KDE2 wasn't really in the same time period as windows 95. KDE1 and windows 2000 were more contemporaries.

IE7 was slow when it came out, compared to firefox 4 it is truly terrible.
