First of all posting article text is illegal. So for one thing i dont want slashdot to make web sites angry for taking their content without them getting ad revenue. Also you need to watch out for people who are karma whoring. People have said they dont care about karma whoring but i think they need to. People can get their karma up to the level where they get a +! bonus and troll away. That DOES lower to level of quality on slashdot and its something that i would like to not see happen.
Im sorry but this is a blatent karma whore. First this guy gets a FP and takes an unpopular opinion so he goes and whores the text of the article probably to build a points buffer.
BTW as to not be considered a karma whore on my own im posting without my +1 bonus so if you dont wanna read this comment i wont shout it at you.
Thats what im saying. I like that they boycotted this product untill they got what they want. This is how it should be. I wish more people were willing to boycott MS products untill they did what the consumer wanted, maybe then we could get some real improvements to the actual code. The problem is not many people realise they can have anything better than windows.
Capitalism has a way of dealing with problems like this. If you dont like the product dont buy it and the company will either make it better or die. Its that easy. Dont fight for for your own version of the languadge. Dont buy it and althought you may suffer for a short tmie not having the software (yah right its only office) you will end up ahead in the long run.
I am not going to buy anything but the Western Digital "JB" (Special Edition) 8mb buffer drives and call them fast. The current technology as you said from the hard disk to the hard drive buffer is slow and wont change no matter what bus you use.
The only way an IDE drive will be faster is with a larger buffer, higher RPM's, or smarter read ahead algorithms. If you get a SCSI drive you will get better speed from the disk to the buffer which is what you need. My WD800JB will sustain 50mb a sec and i have never seen another IDE drive beat it.
I know SCSI will be faster even on my wimpy 32bit 33mhz PCI bus but im not going to spend that much. Having a 64bit 66mhz PCI bus wont do much beyond making the first few seconds of transfer faster which is what is needed in servers doing lots of random IO. My home computer does a lot of sequential IO for things like decompressing large files.
So basically unless you are running a server for something such as a database go ahead and spend teh money on SCSI and a nice 64bit 66mhz PCI copntroller card. For any of my home systems im not going to buy SATA drives untill some company comes out with a drive that has larger buffer that is only for SATA. Untill then im sure all the same advances in SATA drives will still help out my old drives too.

Too bad it IS unmount. Not everyone used BASH or gnu/linux. I find it funny that people who know enough about unix to know its umount think they know more than me yet they are the ones who are wrong and relaly have no clue how much i know. "unmount" is a valid command on smoe machine, probably not your but maybe if you learned more than just your one distro you might know that.

Im tired of posts like yours that simply point out what slashdot tends to be like and get modded up. Posts like that bring no insight to a discussion unless a person knows nothing at all about slashdot. Of course we know what we do on slashdot and most of us like it. If you dont like slashdot your free to leave.

... But isn't micheal going too far?
look at his last couple of articles... they are just plain weird...
i dunno what it is and im not saying its really horrible to get some change but im just curious why these articles have shown up all of a sudden...
I dont understand the drool factor of huge tv's...
if you want a biger screen you can buy it wiht enough money... there is no point in looking at these "wonders of technology" if your not going to buy them...
why dont we look at a movie theatere and talk about how cool it would be to spend $1M on a screen and stereo setup...
In win2k the key is stored on the same computer. It is protected from the wrong user getting to it but NTFS can be broken. If you happen to lose your key on win2k sure your fucked and nobody can help you but if you keep the key around someone else can get it as easily as you.
oh yah well i heard about this movie that is dumberer than that...

Ok i knew by saying nobody does it the people who would were goign to speak up but i still believe the same thing. Laptops are generally not used as servers. Your laptops are not running over wireless are they? I can see using ANY old computer for servers in the closet but i cannot imaging a bunch of wireless capable laptops running apache and whatnot.

I doubt that a laptop needs a huge ammount of upload bandwidth anyway. I don't see anyone running servers off of laptops accross a network. So even though the laptop will have errors in the signal it will still only be a little slower than the download speed which is what a laptop is used for (checking email, browsing webpages). Personally i would like to purchase something like this as i have been thinking about making my own but that can introduce my own errors anyway.
Sure you will... this is the most obvious hoax i have ever seen posted to slashdot. Consolenews is FULL of spoof articles. Dont you think we would be reading this from the wall street journal if it was a $2.3 billion settlement? Don't you think Sony would fight this untill the end of time? it would be so tied up in the legal process we would never see the end...
Its a funny reas as are most of the spoof articles but i thought people KNEW it was a hoax at first.
Ok obviously you dont understand the "song". You are maybe thinking of a "recording" of a "performance". 4'33'' is a song... it has no musically performed part and is only defined by the background noise that you can hear when no music is played.
Thats what the song is. 4'33'' is NOT silence. Cage was in part inspired to make that song by Eastern music where intent was not about the music but to quite ones own mind and be open to the rest of the world. He played his song at a space where the back was open to a forrest and could let in a lot of sonud from outside. One of the points of this song is to get the listener to, instead of concentrating on the performance, hear what other sound is in the world.
If you could actually hear silence it wouldn't even be this song. If your speakers picked up enviromental sounds or line noise of the cabl;es or anything else then it WOULD be the song. 4'33'' is about the background noise which can only be listened to well if there is no notes on the sheet.
Right now i am using my D-Link wireless router to access slashdot. I share my bandwidth from my Speakeasy DSL connection to all who come by. I am glad i can share my luck of living in range for dsl in area area where not many can get it.
Actually i read the article before it was posted to slashdot. I also know a good amount about the subject and i feel kind of burned so that is what i wanted to say. It doesn't matter if it's obvious becaseu its my opinion and as a potential buyer that really does matter.
A glove will either restrict your movement to keep you from moving in the wrong way which will cause physical stress from the unnatural movement. Or it wont restrict your movement at all and might jsut be uncomfortable. These gloves prevent you from moving your wrists wrong but even if it holds you wrist in place the muscles and tendons are still being strained as they try to move.

It's per PURCHASED account of course. Im sure they would be more than willing to let you buy several accounts to have more than one player.
Many people have seen TTT already. Most theaters already have their copy and all the workers and a few of their friends have seen it.
