and Microsoft treated Apple users first rate - in fact Office and IE for the Mac were brought out before they were brought out for the Windows version!!!. Also MS brought out Halo for the Mac first!!! - oh wait - what are we talking about? Get real kiddo - apple users are minority - not worth it bringing out any software for the platform first at the expense of another platform.
I'll bite this - i have absolutely no patience for people who cannot spell. When i see an online website which has content with bad spelling, that site in my opinion is second grade. The word is spelt as "bulletin" - enough morons on slashdot cannot spell for crying out loud - now CmdrTaco doesn't mind the crap in posts as well. Yay!!
Stop spelling words the way you pronounce them. Go back to school - take an English course - buy a self-help book - please do something instead of posting on slashdot. I remember a few years back when/. used to be a nice place to visit - all i see now are teen kiddie trolls who cannot spell. Go and mod me as low as you can. Also sadly the people who spell words they way they pronounce them have English as their first language.
I don't believe you - forgetting to put a CPU fan should either result in a series of beeps telling you that a fan is not plugged in. Also without a fan, a CPU will fry if a motherboard does not offer the aforesaid protection. Go away false geek.
Nope - Windows XP and Windows 2003 are based off the same "stuff". Windows 2003 server is basically Windows 2000 server with enhanced Active Directory abilities/management/features. Although the title says "Inside Windows 2000", that book is good enough to give you a good idea about how Microsoft WINNT based OSes work. For e.g., why MS Windows doesn't employ a GUI like an X-Windows and how it actually implements that part (the subsystem, the VXDs, the blah). There is stuff about the POSIX and OS/2 subsystem i didn't know existed in Win2k. My only complaint was the authors didn't include a lot about Unix/Linux when making comparisions but that's just me.
I totally agree with the parent. If you want to know more about the Windows 2000 OS, read the book Inside Windows 2000 3rd Edition by Solomon and Russinovich and get to know Windows 2000 internals in detail. If you are one of the teen slashdot kiddies out to save the internet and this world by installing Linux on everything in sight and saying MS sucks, then that book isn't for you.
I've installed XP Sp2 builds from 2096 (beta) to the month old RC2 build - mostly for testing how our company's products would be affected. This installation was done on OEM machines from Sony, Dell and Compaq as well as locally assembled hardware. The number of machines that this exercise was done is about 25. I haven't had a single case of a blue screen or a machine not coming back up after installation. Lucky? Perhaps. Common sense in use? Yes. That article's credibility? You tell me. I am not trying to flame here but trying to be fair.
I haven't read the article - and i wont. This line
RAM chip manufacturers should be salivating about now
is so fricking stupid. Minimum requirements are a joke and if Farcry needs 1GB, it is very funny how the headline says 384 would need an upgrade from 256MB - no serious gamer has less than 512MB. Sigh.
Yes, Ms. Dunst is attractive and I'd certainly have intercourse with her given the chance...
Dude - I am speechless - given the chance? that's the key part you ass. Jeez i am still speechless. A geek saying he will have sex with Dunst given the chance - WTF?!!!
The article says the rounds from these railguns can penentrate a target pretty deep and can bore a 10 feet hole in a surface. This is pretty serious damage considering that explosives can be done away with - something tells me that future war would/should be fought with conventional weapons which do damage purely based on the speed of the projectiles and spare the world from collateral damage resulting from the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. Ideally, there should be no war but don't the big guns (no pun intended) believe that peace is a break in between wars?
Slashdot Mirror
Now you know why i wash windows
Oh god - i so want to answer your question but then they will stop me from washing windows across the street where Real Networks Inc. is situated...
*must stop temptation*
Doesn't look to me like there's much credibility here
:|
If you don't see credibility, ummm, why post it on slashdot or submit it to be posted? The true console
Mirror!
And for $219 it's a credible alternative to a laptop
Nope it is not.
Any article that has "LOL" in it is not worth reading.
Your friendly neighbourhood troll.
Fuck off AC - fucking coward - you must be a Republican
All of you motherfucking anonymous cowards - Now you won't believe i did it on purpose. Fucking morons.
This is off-topic but i saw the following line
at the end of this page
Heisengberg might have been here
The correct name would be "Heisengberg" - you stupid slashdot editors.
I didn't miss the joke but couldn't resist replying :P
I wash windows on that street - there is no such billboard :P

Ever heard of Real Alternative?

if you can't run Windows XP in a stalble way and judge the product - i got two words for you : STFU n00b.

That's the truth i write and it gets modded flamebait? Bloody moronic moderators on slashdot and yes i've been in Bombay.
The current Prime Minister of India is Manmohan Singh. You must either be
1. George Bush
2. George Bush's adviser
The hell it does. You would be lucky to live for a day in Bombay for 1$. Prices have gone up son.

An interesting read about the future of war here!.
