Maybe we should just start putting in different types of random sensors in laptops that can pull data from the emediate environment and see what the hackers can do with them. Some suggestions:
Gyroscopes for Orientation (pitch,roll,yaw) More accelerometers Altimeter GPS External temperature,humidity, pressure Pressure sensors (which determine how hard the user is banging on the keyboard in aggrevation). Thermal imaging:P ???:I !!?#:(
I'm all for that, except my backpack is not big enough to fit nuclear power plant that goes with that setup:(
Definitely not the "first time", though maybe a first for Linux.
Not the first time linux too (read my previous comment if you want video), but it probably is the first time published by entity that will make a lot of fuzz about it.
should be more focused on the safety of our President than an extra 20 minutes commuting to work in the morning!
And why should other countries be concerned with that. When he was in our country it was the same, why stopping the traffic for one.....? I could even understand the fact that you as Americans would agree, but why should we? I can tell you that no other president was so hated as this one from the rest of the world. And stopping traffic for one who is more hated than loved is too much.
C'mon, get the facts straight. He didn't do one single thing right and this is probably the reasons why you are so scared for his life. And since you voted and invested into him, you have to protect your investment.
You only have three options: - you think you've entred some SeriousGeekSanctuary.com??? You suddenly realize "it is a/.".

p.s. since you were agreeing with being modded down, your wish come true. I on the other hand agree on being modded up.
I wonder what this means (if anything) for those of us with AMD/nVidia systems.
Few possibilities: - NVidia goons show up at your door and forcefully take your chipset - Your chipset evolves, grows legs and runs away - Your drivers suspiciously start producing BSODs or kernel panic. How the hell did they find out? - Nothing, as you already bought your computer and it was well supported?
I don't understand all the comments saying ATI's Linux drivers suck. I've got a Radeon 9200
As you see. You didn't need to go further, we already know you use XOrg drivers and not fglrx. Yes, that drivers are nice. Not fully featured, but open and nice. I preffer open too.
Now try using some X1800 and tell us how do you like that for a difference (no magic without crapiest ever driver named fglrx). Then pop in nvidia and their drivers and tell us how that feels. Believe me, using nvidia drivers will suddenly seem like the best fuck you've ever had (if you know what you talk about,/. people and fuck are not really connected topics, mostly by wish only).
So, if any of that was really ever true, then why doesn't SCO just show the judge the mountain of evidence which they angrily told the media about back in mid-2003?
And spoil the fun? Do you even know how many laughs have I had on SCOs account? After movie industry got lamer and lamer? I'm calling >2002 years "funny sco era", in fact I'm really greatfull to ShitForBrains and Sonntag, best comedians in 21century.
On the other hand Quark lost market share by not moving to OS X in a timely manner. My wife's firm moved to InDesign when they upgraded to new OS X native machines back in the day. For every person who held out, another switched applications. Quark really dragged their feet on the conversion and I don't think Adobe will hold out as long on the move to UB, particularly if the hardware is selling well. People want the new hotness.
Wrong, Quark is/was too expensive, had too many problems and too many bad releases. People were almost afraid to upgrade from 4.1. OSX factor ment zilch here.
And InDesign? Not perfect, but still the only other viable solution in that time.
To stay on topic, I've always felt that Apple releases hardware and then developers create software to take full advantage of it. In short, hardware drives software development. It seems to differ slightly from the WinTel universe where hardware upgrades are often invoked by mew software. Admittedly, I have this perception because I always upgrade when new software runs dog slow on my PC. I don't seem to do that on my Mac as much, though the Intel move will probably hasten an upgrade from suddenly ancient G4.
Both are the same. There is no better/worster here. Except that Apple forces you to update much more when you upgrae OS for example.
It seems to me that Apple might as well hold off on releasing the Pro line until CS3... I've talked to a few designers, and they are all holding out for CS3 to make the upgrade, since they work so frequently in these applications, and they take a big performance hit on the new hardware.
Whatever Apple or designers will be holding, I hope it won't be their breath. CS3 for Intel Mac is said to be out next years fall if they will feel lucky.
yep, 1,2 and 3 didn't even support network by default. It was very close to "the most secure machine is the one unplugged and turned off" and I bet, we all agree this is the most secure OS
Well, I think that next seasons part 3 of Doctor Who will be featuring Doctor (and his assistant) jumping to the year 2065 where he succesfully applies SP1 for Vista and saves the world against world-wide core information corruption which would lead to stupidities like Daleks helping grandmas crossing the street and Cyberman are whipering out over constant BSODs./*me scratching my head*/ Based on time current releases and SP1, that would mean Vista will be released in 2063. If we could believe Doctor Who, that is.
It's not such a terrible comparison. The T2400 is not a 64-bit chip, so comparing it with an AMD 64-bit chip is useless. I'm comparing mobile to mobile.
Actually you're not. You're comparing mobile to very old mobile. There was a lot more difference than just 64-bit between XP-M and Turion. Turion runs cooler, it is faster and uses much less power.
This claim of yours is the same as for example: Aero industry puts out a four winged plane. And since all planes have two wings the only sensible solution would be to put them against four winged from 40's.
Also, since neither chipmaker has had any real innovation for a while, the only thing they can do is put more CPU's on one die.
XP-M and Turion IS quite a difference.
So I figured a Mobile AMD XP compared to a T2400 meant for a laptop was a fair comparison.
Nah, no trouble here. Just look at their equation.
1. They made PR claims about.NET being made to be crossplatform. But in reality their implementation is not even Winplatform. 2. Based on 1. only Windows exist. 3. MS was bitching about computer without OS, meaning Linux and others in their eyes are not OS 4. Based on 4. Windows is the only OS 5. So this will be most secure Windows ever. 6. In MS eyes 2. and 4. equals to most secure OS ever.

Do you remember Mitnic?
He offers security consulting services
Mitnick was hacker, now offering security...???!
Translating it into MS case....???!
They screwed everybody, now they are offering screwing-on-demand?
Does that sound right?
Naaah, it just means you're usual nobody. But no need to be dissapointed, every linux instalation has one.

Does this mean it will run on Amiga, PPC and SPARC...?
p.s. I can't believe someone would be stupid enough to believe PR and walk on the same planet as I do, please, tell me you were sarcastic.

You figured wrong. You would have to compare it against AMD Turion AM2 X2

Damn, this is called Stack Overflow
Nah, no trouble here. Just look at their equation.
.NET being made to be crossplatform. But in reality their implementation is not even Winplatform.
1. They made PR claims about
2. Based on 1. only Windows exist.
3. MS was bitching about computer without OS, meaning Linux and others in their eyes are not OS
4. Based on 4. Windows is the only OS
5. So this will be most secure Windows ever.
6. In MS eyes 2. and 4. equals to most secure OS ever.
Are you sure about that ? this IS Microsoft after all ;). If anyone can compromise an OS surely it's them.
Compromise? Yeah, they can. Simply by releasing it.
Well, you win. I'm prepared to pay $100 but Darl has to step in it (video proof please). Anyone else want to chip in?
God damn, I would never though I would pay someone to go and take a shit. But, IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
Well, that's easy. File a case against them and proclaim your arguments just as strong as theirs.
Nah, that damn thing just gets to repetitive after pass the first day. Although, first day is a good action, I agree.
