>>>C'mon, it takes a lot of money to look good and to develop the style to know when you look good. People in tech support don't get paid enough money to look good.
"Good" looks different to many people. Ugly people need to dress nice to look good, It's all they have. I, on the other hand, look best in jeans and a t-shirt because i look good no matter what i wear. Besides, I've seen the cloths that money can buy and it's all gay. The cloths aren't the problem. The assholes who think cloths matter are the problem. These buttfucks need to learn how to judge achievement based on what is achieved. Some bosses think their customers will think differently of you if you are not "dressed for busuness". Guess what?... your customer hires assholes too! that's why they think that way.
TFA points out that this has been out there for over a year, not just "a few days".
Just because the symptoms are barely noticeable does not make it acceptable.
And if sony can place hidden functions on your PC that take a year to discover, just imagine what microsoft can hide on your PC. I've heard plenty of times before that M$ has hidden directories on your HDD that store your browser history regardless of your history and cookie settings. I'm sure there is more that we don't know about.
Put scotch tape over the yellow print head and hold a heavy duty vibrator against your printer while its printing. This should "randomize" your printer.
It's not about making money in HPC. It's about shlong wagging in order to impress the CIOs of Corporate America. The money comes from retaining corporate desktops.
Yep, Linux will always be almost good enough to use on your desktop, Windows will always be almost good enough to safely connect to a network (without loads of third party life support software).
Someday (soon) linux will be good enough for the desktop. (it's been good enough for me for over five years now and I ain't no programmer.)
Actually, This is cool. It strengthens our position. You see, there creates two camps.
Camp 1) Only buy proprietary solutions from large corporations. Never share for fear of criminal prosecution.
Camp 2) Only use (cc) (copyleft) and GPL. Share with friends, share often.
The Assholes in power, while attempting to strengthen thier own position, push more people into camp number 2 every day. We win.
What we really need is an internet utility or domain that is only for sharable material so that we can aviod getting caught up in the proprietary mess. For instance, a P2P with voting and meta voting (AKA eDonkey meets slashdot) so that we can fill it with free items and kick out the accidental proprietary items that enter. The sytem could be catagorized like bittorrent searches so that you could search for various styles of music , etc... Voting could make musicians popular. Concerts make musicians money.
I'm sure variations of this exist, we just need a better and fool proof one along with more advocation/advertising.
I have not read the article BUT when they say "Intel boards" I think they mean "Intel Boards" and not "boards which take Intel processors".
So, Saying "AMD too" is not correct. Compair Intel boards to ASUS, Chaintech, Dell, Giga-Byte....

You can still blame Amazon. There is a huge difference between CONTENT/COPY-PROTECTED CD and CRIPPLES YOUR PC WITHOUT CLEAR PERMISSION. Of course you would buy niether given the "choice".
Yep, I tried it out and I think it is complete crap. The CD chooser/player is cool though. Other than that it is just annoying. It's like trying to read while your driving (or maybe while someone else is driving). It has about 10 seconds of wow and once you try to get used to it you realize it just sucks. I would much prefer KDE, GNOME, Fluxbox, IceWM or even XFCE (my least favorite) over this garbage. Have you tried to read an article while a MacromediaFlash ad is one the same page? This desktop is just like that.
I'll stick with GNOME.

Agreed, why the hell would you want to give hackers a highspeed connection to your 'not fit for a network' workstation. :)

Newegg and most electronics resellers will list file formats in the specs. I think you can even keyword search for ogg. I found quite a few.

I have a great version of warpigs.mid that replaced OZZY with an Oboe, so fear not my friend. :)
What a great idea. I'm going to make a program called yourmanager.exe
(will run at my workplace, exe's don't run at my home computer)
Anywho, it will be great fun saying to fellow employee's: "Now execute yourmanager".

>>> A software license has no phyisical wear and tear
So go ahead, buy a Win3.1 license at 1993s cost. It's just as good as anything you can get today (from microsoft anyway).
>>> I can't wait for the day I can buy "used" mp3s too!
:)
why would you buy them with so many people giving away used ones today?
We hate apple now?
FP!
There is the off chance that English is neither his first nor second language.
>>> this is not an inherently bad thing,
Until your mother tries to use your PC to search for quilts and is bombarded with ads for TEENAGE!!!LESBI
ANS!!!UPSKIRT!!!BEWBZ!!!!RIMJOB!!!TWINKS!!!!
You will never be able to use your PC when you have company. Your Ads don't lie.
>>>It is a classic sign of arrogance and a sense of superiority.

I agree, but I'm not sure which post you are refering to.
Well i just paid $400.00 USD on an LCD monitor so i'll stick to something that going to look good.
PS- if this GORM stuff is able to look good it should have been shown that way in the screendump.
Speaking of 'Sell Out', who is actually going to by this microsoft product? :)
