The story would have been better if it had included the information that Microsoft plans to use the money to split themselves into two companies or integrate the Linux kernel into Windows to become more profitable.
AMD has been selling chips (AMD64) with an integrated northbridge memory controller for six years - way before Intel.
Also, you might want to lookup 3DNow!, or some of the other graphics instruction sets that AMD has been integrating into their chips for the last 10 years.
I say we start by de-orbiting Phobos and Deimos. I can't see a downside, except for relocating the Leather Goddesses to Sandusky.
After that, we bring in comets from the Kuiper belt. Add mass and water at the same time. This will incidentally get us in the Guiness Book of Galactic records for "Largest Snowball Fight". Shoemaker-Levy vs. Jupiter had a good run, but we can do better.
Yes, we're talking incredible amounts of energy and time. But, that gives us the chance to investigate Mars proper in its pristine state before we screw it up with our good intentions.
KDE4's fine... once you're talking 4.1 and later. The 4.0 stuff was very alpha quality, though a necessary step to get developers to actively start supporting it.
They probably meant that the controversy would be because 4.0 was a temporary step backward from 3.5 in features and stability.
So, you're saying that when Win7 nags you and clicking the nag opens up http://www.microsoft.com/windows/antivirus-partners/windows-7.aspx, they're pointing you to uncertified software? BTW - I just went to his system and did the install again and didn't get any warning about installing uncertified software, so I'm guessing it's signed.
Are you guys actively testing Win7, or just ragging on people that don't report the bestus experience ever?
It's not only certified, it's recommended. He got it by clicking the link from the "Recommended Win7 AV Software" (which contains only AVG and Kapersky).
The summary doesn't mention the cool thing: This is partially a product of research done by showing Star Wars to a locust. There's a chip in the car that's emulating their behavior to determine impending collisions.
Just recently, there was a show about it on the Science Channel.
Converting a *nix timestamp to a date is the kind of thing that should be part of a high-school level programming class.
The code may be a little longer than people expect, but it is easy.
The only difficulty at all is added by programmers that want to optimize it to be shorter and 'cooler' (i.e. incomprehensible to anyone maintaining the code because you found a way to make it shorter by having it call itself recursively).
These are reusable functions, and are simple enough that you can check them by hand for test dates thousands of years in the future. There's absolutely no excuse to be using new and buggy implementations in every product.
Also if you look at the claims for the patent it requires CLIENT software that does considerably more client-state tracking than Telnet ever did for text muds.
You mean, like the MUD clients circa 1990 that had support for scripting out triggers and such?
Maybe one day some one will invent a way that the two people could use their phones to exchange messages by voice, saving all of the time wasted punching out misspelled words.
Or, if it's not in need of immediate attention, maybe they could invent a way to "record" a message into a "voice mailbox".
Sounds like your DKMS install is broken. There were some problems with the nvidia packages in alpha and they were not removing the proper files they had installed in the DKMS directory.
You're right. I'm running Kubuntu 9.04a2 right now, and this is how notifications are done - right down to the colors.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to add them to Gnome - it would probably even help when running KDE apps under Gnome and vice/versa as long as they have a standardized API.
HOPEfully, Shuttleworth recognizes that this is *not* new and can make it play nice with KDE instead of having his guys create a completely different standard.

Oh Noze! A company that grossed over ONE MILLION DOLLARS PER EMPLOYEE PER YEAR for many years in the 90's quit innovating had to start selling to a wider audience to maintain their profit ratio.
Their fucking kids must make Ethiopians look soooo fat.
(note: I always bought their stuff because I respect the hell out of Carmack. But, your argument sucks.)
How bad is your change control procedure that none of your "experts" was in the loop on the changes this guy was implementing that directly interacted with your network devices?
If your router CPU Utilization is regularly reaching 70%, you might want to have some of those CCIEs FIX IT.

I know what you're getting at, but I assure you: It would still be the most entertaining half-hour of television featuring David Blaine, ever.

A verdict so spectacular that 11 other people came to the same conclusion without using twitter?

I'm using the nightly releases now; it's much closer to 3.5 in stability and has addressed all of my feature concerns.
Mod parent up!

Why would Microsoft point you toward ANYTHING, since you're not even supposed to have your hands on the software?
MSDN subscribers aren't supposed to have the software? Geez... lash out randomly much?

A friend showed me build 7000 for the first time a few minutes ago.
It blue screens in kl1.sys and reboots the whole system every time he tries to register the Kapersky AV it nagged him to install.
I'm showing him Kubuntu 9.04 alpha 2 now, but I haven't found a way to show him a crash.

Microsoft Forefront does this with VNC too. Drives me nuts.

Don't worry... OpenOffice has a competing plan: Do your homework for free.
You're right, it's the only way.

Have a look in /var/lib/dkms.

If someone's polite as to why they won't comply with your very reasonable request for help, that gets your respect?
You: "Excuse me, but would you switch seats with me so that my wife and I can sit together?"
Me: "I'm sorry but it's my policy not to switch seats, because your seat was paid for with Euros and mine with dollars."
You: "GOD DAMN! I RESPECT THAT!"
Now THAT's insightful. Both on Chen's part, and the parent post.
