So they can't shove music down our throats and extort us anymore, now they sue us, ha. Averaging 3k per lawsuit is more than most albums make, way to go music industry.
now you have mike rowe buying a domain for 100 years, for which MS will sue or settle and get (they already have) so now MS will hold the domain for 100 years, and how can that be good?
basically anything or anyone who does or buys anything from network solutions is an idiot since you can get whatever they offer from someone else for 20% the cost. yay bloated NS.
1/7 are very happy? so the other 6/7 could be only happy, while the plumbers could have 2/3 very unhappy, i know this probably isn't the case, but it's just an example of how these stats are useless unless you look at everything.
also your conclusion shouldn't be that money != happiness, it should be that generaly the more you make at your job the less likely you are to like it, your personal life may be very happy, which is the definition that counts for 99% of people;)
Go buy a refurb Pocket PC for under $150 and it can do all this and more. Spend under $50 bucks more for the software to get all the functionality in an easy to use format, hey, plus its a remote control for your AV:D
And yes it will be fatter, slower, and less stylish than an iPod, but it's from MS, what did you expect?
I just bought an island/country named MobileLand, now what crappy domain are my beautiful people going to be forced to use if.mobile is taken? Oh, I'll just wait five years then sue...
Nice, now half of Bush's porn collection will be instantly viewable. Next up you'll see a purchase for 1000 OLED displays to simulcast all his feeds on.
Well this just explains it all. So 'beautiful' people are 'dumber' because they probably spend more time grooming themselves (blondes with those hair dryers all the time).
Seriously though shaving for 2 minutes per day is a far cry from what these studies did. And on rats lol, so you put a shaver on a rat, wouldn't that be like having an 8 foot shaver on a human if scaled to size? Yes an 8 foot shaver shaking my whole body at 60Hz for 24 hours probably would do some damage, duh!
They should just give them away with a game purchase. MS doesn't care what they lose on the consol, its all about preparing for the next gen release. Its definelty an uphill battle against the PS2 for the XBOX, but if they keep beating them on hardware, its only a matter of time before XBOX has just as good if not better game base than the PS2. And thats when they will start dominating.
Another thing I get really pissed off about is people in the USA hate MS and the XBOX just because they are MS. Well I don't agree with a lot that MS does and doesn't do, but people WAKE UP, it's far better to line the pockets of Bill G than some Japanese fat cat, so buy and support XBOX, not PS2:D
I don't mind advertising, well I do but I can put up with it. What I hate is when they force the user to deal with them outside of the media they are supporting. For example there are magazine ads, bus ads, television ads, etc, but does a magazine ad magically litter your room with more maganizes which are full ad books? No, they include them in the publication, this is exactly what a pop up or under is for the web.
Advertising should strictly stick to only on page ads which are fluid with the media they are supporting, I think people understand and appreciate this much more than popped ads. Besides their revolutionary unblockable technology will only be a matter of a few days before its blockable, so whats the point, just make regular ads people if you have to make them.
Email me for low cost quality moonland, as sold to stars such as Travolta, Madonna, and Jackson. You're sure to get a profit after GW Bush colonizes the moon, then wants to drill for oil, he'll need to buy the land from you to drill first.
Just think you could own the very land that some astronaut takes a shit on which cost the US taxpayers only 2M to get into space!
"ribbon so light and with such a surface area that it would fall to the earth like a peice of paper"
even so, wouldn't 36,000 km of paper be quite heavy:)
Now we all know Slashdot readers have multiple girlfriends, got less than A's in math, science, and physics, didn't attend college, and don't earn an average of 100k+/year doing IT work...
this is bullshit, why does the government need or get any taxes from communications, taxes on comm should be treated like food, you can't tax a basic human right, and in the US speech is a right...
although this sounds like a good idea at first, it is not, yes most people would like to fight fire with fire, but in this case we all end up losing, why?
well for starters now instead of 40% internet traffic being spam, we up it to 80% since now we are responding with spam, slowing our internet down even further.
second of all most spam doesn't even have a valid reply address to send anything to, wasn't sent from a valid server, and might not even contain a url in the message to get at.
next up the spammers themselves could use the 'remailers' to send spam to us, so now you have a system just sending itself spam in effect, lol.
lastly we are not directly effecting the spammer, they will just grease their response mechanizm to take into account the replies, plus if we can't even make software that filters spam, why would be able to make software that auto replies to it correctly, so now everyone sending emails will get some spam reply by accident.
there's very few ways spam will ever end. a whole new email protocol is what we really need, but who knows when that will happen. fines, suits, and laws will have to save us in the short term, or we could just cut off the spammers ball sacs, i prefer the latter;|
"roughly 50% more than McDonald's usual yearly advertising expenditures"
LOL, I think Apple would cut them deal if they purchased 1B at once, dont you think;)
either that or they just traded goods, 1B iTunes for 1B hambugers for Apples fat slobby technoweenies, flames to full throttle Capitan...
Ok $2M for 186 pages of survery results, I'll gladly write a couple pages for $10,753 per page. So about a week of work and I won't have to work for 2 years, or according to the graphs in the pdf, 1.75 years if I were a woman, or only 1.5 years if I were black, homey don't play that!
With performance increases of new CPUs getting smaller and smaller these days, tweaking is almost pointless (ie getting a P4 2.6 to 3.0 is a far cry from the old days of getting a P2 300 to 900) so noise is a huge factor for most and justly looked at. Especially since cpus now dissipate like 90W of power and need a monster noisy fan to cool it, having that humming under your desk may be ok for you, but for most they would rather not have it, just ask anyone who works in a real IT lab with a 100k BTU cooling system running over their head to keep a 200 node cluster cool, then you'll know the value of a quite room:)
This article is old but good. A great way to cool any HD is to sandwich it between two huge slabs of aluminum, sapping heat from the drive and deadening small vibrations, its nice to see some specific results as in the article.
And where is the good ole link to that 8000x4000 jpg of a frame of their video, at least they could let us scroll around and see the true detail of their system, rather than just text desc.
And 3TB for 18min? What compression if any are they using?
Homeland security is a great idea, but there hasn't been much as far as actual results yet. We need some stats on how many threats they found/evaded, or is there this info available already?
The biggest diff in TCO has to be the simple fact that employees won't have to delete 1X10^34 virus emails per second coming into their inbox if they aren't using Outlook. LOL
