It's called Linus Torvalds. He will standardize as much as he can, and the rest of us will group behind the best distro of his stuff. Anything else would be closing the free developement model. UnitedLinux is trying to corner the market on useable linux.
It's not a worst case scenario. It's an average case scenario. The 70 year old athlete isthe exception, not the rule.
They're using good business sense to designed products to a larger customer base. Even Sean Connery, liver spots and all, would appreciate better designed ergonomics.

Blame it on management. If that fails, then blame it on the budget. If that fails, then blame it on HR. If, by that time, everything comes back to your fault, then you should have had enough time to land a new job.
Sorry bout the jumbled up reply. I'm still learning HTML. *snirk* Here's the reply without the previous quote jumbled in:
That way the problems that wireless (claims to) address can be met in other ways. What you are calling laziness is often not the case. Not everyone owns their own home, or is brave enough to 'mod' the one they have. Also, which do you think will sell better? Devices that network by requiring extensive attic crawling, or ones that just work by placing them within a few hundred feet of the next one? Good point on the security, though.
2) 90% of wireless adoption is due to laziness--people just don't want to run a wire from their TV to the speakers or from the computer to the toaster, or whatever. What about another building code change to run fiber throughout the house with a lot of available plugs? That way the problems that wireless (claims to) address can be met in other ways.

Scotty, beam me up.
I'm givin' her all she's got, Cap'n! It's never been done before, but maybe if I create a phased array from spare phaser parts . ..
It worked, Cap'n! We now have Warp 13! Where's my Romulan Ale?
Why limit ourselves to 640x480? Already, higher resolution video feed is available for capture, such as digital cable. Mind you I haven't tried to capture this, but I'm sure _someone_ would eventually want to.
I've heard of 10 scale electric AND nitro going near 100mph real speed. The article is a bit dated though, and they may have beat even that speed. http://www.rccaraction.com/rc/articles/need_speed. asp
Oh god. How much is NetGear gonna charge for the auto-directional antenna wifi access point? Oh yeah. And it will only work for ONE USER! So much for corporate feasability.
Good for you for not taking the easy piracy. They say most theives are opportunists, and this was a prime opportunity to put gay porn in their windows shares. HAHAHAHAHA.
Hear hear! The hobbits were not chased out of Hobbiton. They left according to plan! And Tom Bombadil! Oh to hear him singing and skipping over the hills . . .
This reminds me of the many intelligent and resourceful people that shored up the Amiga movement. It's fine for a hobby, but I don't think it will ever amount to much.
The reason women don't want to play Tomb Raider is that Laura makes them feel inadequit (sp?). They end up feeling like their boyfriends would rather be with Laura than them.

Wrong again. Unless LucasArts limits char switching to a week or more, then muling is still a problem.
Is there a point to these Soviet Russia comments, or is someone performing a denial of good taste attack on Slashdot?

Its about time I was allowed to use the 30+ channels not airing in my local broadcast area.
I wish I my city would use info like this for street planning. It would beat the heck out of those rubber lines counting axles by intersections.
My grandad mowed his lawn with his. It had a long stick and you pushed it around untill the lawn was perfectly groomed.

Don't forget TV captuer applications. They could always use a little extra bandwidth.
Next, Myriad will go into DRM by patenting eyeballs, and requiring Palladium chips installed into each one.

I have an electric TC3, which is the same size, but runs on 6 1.2 volt NiCad or NiMH batteries. It's a pretty cool sport.

To buy more Wi-Fi repeaters! My wife is gonna kill me when the bills come due!

Is anyone surprised at all?
