Anything that will quell the rantings of the idoitic "masses" who want what equates to Internet cencorship should be seen as A GOOD THING.
Will this really accomplish its purpose? Maybe, but who cares. It's voluntary, and it can be pointed at as an example: "look...we're trying this. No go away for awhile."
Too ignorant to see that it doesn't work? I'm doubting the poster actually tried the procedure.
Get off your horse and realize that the truly sad thing here is that Apple hardware can be the severaly corrupted by program code. Shouldn't flashable proms (I'm assuming that's what is getting corrupted) only be programmable when in programming-enabled mode (I believe there's a button for that which is used during firmware updates)?
Or even a phone if you're willing to wait on hold.
Try reading something before taking out your credit card and you might just have more money left over to spend at ThinkGeek on t-shirts with whitty sayings on them.
Not when you are an "employee at will", as most people who are not under a specific contract are. You can be fired for any or no reason whatsoever (save discriminatatory, etc.), and your compensation can be changed ant any point for any or nor reason. If you don't like it, you can leave.
The world doesn't owe you anything, and companies don't have to "play nice". They aren't required to provide job security for you. You should be doing that for youself.
Because they're stripped down toy vehicles. Not heavy duty 4WD's. The transfer case by itself (on my AMERICAN, FULL-SIZE, 4WD, 8 CYLLINDER, 15 MPG) truck weighs more than an entire damn Subaru Forrester.
I did notice recently that the cash registers (which had crashed and were being rebooted: the resaon I had the time to look around) at Staples are running XP Embedded with touch screens. I haven't really seen much else other than consumer toys.
"The admission was important because Mr Gates had previously argued that it was not feasible to create such a version of Windows, while maintaining the performance of the world's dominant PC operating system."
Mr. Gates has realized that if the bloatware is stripped out two things will happen the will foster a public backlash on MS:
- The OS will WAY faster. This fact will hit the media; people will be pissed that unnecessary bloatware was slowing down their computers (I have no idea yet HOW the media would dumb this down to the average public's ability to understand it, but you know it will happen in some form or another).
- Spyware will be harder/impossible. Windows Update is too obvious a chioce, and too closely and easily watched. With a stripped down distro, and chatter becomes highly suspicious. How will they do their "marketing"?
"It's potentially quite significant," said Dr. Tim Kalleen, a space scientist who is director of the American climate research center. He said his researchers were discussing with their Japanese counterparts the technical details needed to make sure CounterStrike server will run on the Japanese machine.
Yeah...gotta watch out for the license transfer issue here. I heard California was either going to join China or be sold to a private mananagement company.

Start getting concerned when all video card manufacturers are forced to include rights management firmware, and when you can't get a PC DVD-ROM without (more) intrusive/limiting firmware.

/. problem.
/. problem.
The search engine sucks. It's not a
Your inability to use a browser is also not a
You can have the very same anywhrere on the planet Internet access that they have.
Read the damn article. They used an Iridium phone. It's off-the shelf technology....readily available.
Just as soon as you have something important enough to do on the Internet that you'll blow $4.00 a minute, you let us all know.
Slashdotted in less than 3 minutes.
Just what everyone needs: a flash-based UI for a search engine.
I guess this is targeted at AOL-subscribing Mac users.
And follow up with "Congressman, why does everyone keep calling you Senator?"
Then they can strt sueing US educationall institiutions for turning out morons who can spell or typ.
None that I want to be attracting.
The parent was NOT a troll. Read the last line.

That was a brilliant way to both repeat exactly what was in the essay AND demonstrate that you didn't read it.....or are just trolling.
Ummm...get a fax machine.

That's the best you've got-nit-picking a typo?
For the most part that's correct. But (see below post) I actually _need_ a truck to do what trucks were intended for.
A complete idoit?
If it weren't for the weight of my vehicle I wouldn't be able to use it for it's intended purpose: towing a 4-slot horse trailer.
I'm not you average moron commuter in a Ford Explorer that never sees dirt. My vehicle works for a living and need to be that heavy to work properly.
If you knew more about vehicels, you wouldn't be making such a fool of yourself.
You are a karma whore.

I had no idea CS was still so popular.

Wrong. Only one party must know that conversation is being recorded. And you are that party.
Record away.
