I'm pretty sure iFixit raised eyebrows about the application of thermal paste on this model. Maybe the lion drivers are a little less inclined to run fans and its catching up with them on the badly manufactured ones.
FWIW, I see no sign that Top Gear ever mentioned BP ("British Petroleum") in connection with its poisoning the Gulf of "Mexico" last year, but plenty of evidence of BP's ongoing sponsorship of that show.
Not sure how you managed that. The BBC is publicly funded, paid for by the TV license (mandatory for anyone owning a television in the UK). They do not charge a subscription, nor do they accept advertising including program sponsorship.
The Santa Rosa one I have was bad as well. I've got through 2 GPUs and now it has a habit of locking up with the screen flashing every now and then.
My old Powerbook G4 was awesome though, I think the move to Intel may have been more of an exercise in cheaper manufacturing than technical excellence.
The back of my £20 note suggests Adam Smith (1723-1790) was responsible for the division of labour in pin manufacturing. I'm going to guess that he was first?
The only way the court could reach such a poor decision would be through bad legal arguments and a lack of understanding of how the world wide web works. Hopefully he'll get a better lawyer who can explain the culture of link sharing on the internet, how the system relies on it (pagerank etc) and how every other content provider as a matter of course will put a paywall in front of a link so that when he shares it with his friends its more revenue for them. Something about chilling effects would probably not go a miss either.
IANAL and I wasn't at this case but I guess it the arguments must have presented it as stealing from an unattended shop or something along those lines, which is why the decision would have gone the way it went.
Did you read TFA? It is no just about developers and communities, it's about analysts as well. If Forrester and Redmonk are issuing research notes saying drop Java then management wont be singing Oracles tune for long either.
It has been done recently (it's called quantative easing - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing). You have to be careful about it though and do it with the support of the market or every currency trader on the planet will short the hell out of your currency pushing the value of it down to sod all whilst making an absolute killing for themselves.
Nvidia works fine here on amd64 on Windows, Linux, Solaris and MacOS X. It's only FreeBSD that appears to have the problem with 64bit - I don't think you can blame Nvidia for that.
It absolutely is on FreeBSD amd64, but this is mainly due to the fact that it is still lacking accelerated Nvidia support on that hardware. Terrible hardware support (I've mentioned wifi before) the makes FreeBSD an appalling desktop anyway. I'd leave it in the datacentre where it's actually an excellent choice.

The market share of WebOS has just gone ballistic. $99 a tablet - genius.

I think in the old days that was referred to as a LART
That said, the person releasing it is still liable for 30+ years in jail for a breach of the official secrets act.

No, it just means your lobbying expenses are above average.
Don't think he has time. He already have worms.
Only if you're standardised on MS Office. They do not have a common IT infrastructure.
Spot on.
Someone mod this up
If you wanted a Windows laptop why would you pay all that money?
You're an idiot.
No they dont. They wear protective clothing. That's somewhat different.
When I went to uni (2002), they weren't that fussed, but if you wanted any help with it you'd better be running Windows.
Yes, its definitely not as annoying as Vista. I still find myself using ipconfig ahead of their networking GUI though.
At least it's quicker to shutdown and reboot into Kubuntu.
Net neutrality, Linux on desktop, Duke Nukem 4 Ever, cheap macs, freedom from malware, peace in the middle east and a cuddly Tux for all.

Well no, Gentoo is Linux which is not the same thing at all.
