First you need to prove it is yours (onus on you, at the spur of that moment - so tape the receipt to the drive) - to the person walking you out, with you while you grab your personal stuff. Secondly, they will want to remove any company from the drive, and won't take your word for it that there ain't none. So the now pissed off IT slave will scrape through your personal stuff anyway...
Many companies sort out what's yours and theirs after walking you out, so you're short on luck in that scenario.
Make a Truecrypt folder, ideally 4GBish so can be backed up onto a DVD.
Now setup your Thunderbird email profile on the Truecrypt folder ("Thunderbird -profilemanager" allows you setup a new TB profile), and ditto for Firefox profile. Note that Thunderbird and Firefox programs are still installed on machine per normal, it's just the profiles that a separate.
I suppose that I'm the only one who sighed when reading a number range being described as an average. Come on, other nerds, be a LITTLE bit critical. It's ?. and Friday! (In the Bay Area, it's Fry'sDay, 'cos that's when the San Jose Mercury News has the multi page ad section).
..with the not-yet-out integrated Atom + video system in a chip.
If you can't wait, the Atom + Nvidia ION combo is one to look for.
If you really can't wait, the cheapest current Asus/Acer aren't bad, and much more versatile than an ebook. My now-obsolete Acer 8.9" (with the larger battery) gives me a good 5 hours, and I can use it on a plane when the guy in front has reclined so that I am admiring the bald patch.
Here's the BIT (bagofbeans important test) for an ebook reader: When you've read enough, can you play a game on it? Or type up some notes?
It's possible to design much electronics to last a long time. I'd say that 95% of the reliability comes from not using wet electrolytic capacitors, which dry out with heat x time. The reliable test equipment I have from the 60s and 70s uses solid tantalum caps with a very long service life. And my mil-supplied, 50's built, tubes only, up to 500V variable voltage bench supplies use oil/paper caps and work perfectly after 50 years.
Two cents: 1c. OCPD response seems surprisingly disinterested and callous 2c. If the pics had been taken by a 3rd party, such as press photog, then the anger could hardley be focussed on the release, 'cos that's what photographers do
I bet the submitter releases all rights to the material as part of this deal. In a sense that's sorta ok, but if you don't own the rights anymore, you can't use the material to make a big fuss independently if the material is ignored.
I also bet that the rights are not grabbed is not the case if the material is from the press. 'cos the press are savvy are copyright.
In my experience with 2K and XP, the service pack problems have always been when applying the SP to an existing install. Slipstream SP4 -> 2K install CD, SP3 -> XP install CD for a fresh install (when you are ready to do it) and you are good to go.
I don't see why this is any more commercially viable than existing capacitive and resistive touch pads from Synaptics and Alps. It's not just the touch pad cost that matters (and a capacitive pad is cheaper to make than any resistive design), but the interpolation and calibration processing cost. This proposed system requires a lot of interpolation, meaning CPU power. A Synaptics touch pad (for example) draws a few 10s to a few 100s of microamps in operation, using a cheap embedded CPU...
In my mind, the difficulty is ensuring that code marked "free" (to modify, redistribute, sell, and so on) isn't polluted by code involving patents. Just because the main players have signed agreements to prevent that, it doesn't mean that there isn't some submarine patent filed by a 3rd party.
In the US, "Organic" used to mean untarnished by nasties. The Big Food lobby got "Organic" re-defined to mean mostly untarnished. Now "100% Organic" means totally untarnished. So maybe soon we'll have "100% Open Source" (as supported by Mr Stallman) vs the new "Open Source" with proprietary lock-ware in it.
Incognito mode just ensures the history of that particular browse isn't stored on your computer. Google still has your browsing history nicely tracked, stored on their computer, available for subpoena etc.
Since Google's business is traffic analysis, and since browsing history provides far more detailed an insight into a person than search history alone, then of course Google will keep it. Consequence 1 will be that Google gets a large ramp up in subpoeanas for individuals' tracked data than before, because Consequence 2 is that many people think that their Incognito surfing is volatile. I doubt that much that has ever passed through Google or that ever will is volatile...
...so let's presume that the CEO explicitly said no. I still expect Nvidia to offer a combined CPU+GPU combo. S'pose I am just annoyed that the reporter didn't explore the subject a bit more.
Actually, it's both. Bruce - you just don't like predatory behaviour, and I don't either. Removing competition is a common tool to relax a rapid and expensive development pace.
I don't see an unequivocal denial in the quotes. Just an implied no, and then answering a question with a question. If I was defining products at Nvidia, I would propose an updated Via C7 (CPU+GPU) product anyway, not a simple standalone CPU.
"That's not our business. It's not our business to build a CPU. We're a visual computing company, and I think the reason we've survived the other 35 companies who were making graphics at the start is that we've stayed focused."
"Are we likely to build a CPU and take out Intel?"

To me, the signal:noise ratio of /. is much higher than Digg.

Gotta ask... is an Ubunut someone who really hates other distis?

Freedom of speech means allowing those with invalid criticisms to express them.
Thankyou.

Maybe the moderators missed it, but I thought that was funny...

It's worse than you stated...
