If he freezes the code for the 12th anniversary of getting his first computer for use with linux, one can only imagine what he gets his wife for their wedding anniversary.
Not when you are trying to make a political statement. I don't know if anyone has claimed responsibility for this yet, or if anyone will. But it would be a great way to scare the general public. It won't necessarily be as terrifying as hijacking planes, but it can spread some fear into many people. (mainly IT types)
But as the world becomes more dependant on the internet, expect more attacks to resemble this one. Take down the infrastructure, and watch the rest tumble without it.
Plus you don't have to commit suicide to terrorize the public. - Of course that means no virgins for you by dying in a holy war...

I didn't mean for him, I just meant I hope it doesn't take off for general business use. I don't wan't people talking like crazy all the time trying to get their computer to understand.
I'm glad for anything that helps people with disabilities do their jobs. One of those being my father, who only has one arm. I just don't want to have to listen to everyone speak slowly so their computer will recognize their voice.

Using PDAs for Dictation?

Can you imagine how bad it would be if everyone switched to voice recognition? Cellphones are bad enough, imagine if everyone was talking to their computers. The noise would be terrible. No matter how quiet you are, the noise would still grow rather large. Would you want to dictate something to your computer that is supposed to be private? Not when anyone can hear it. I'm waiting for something better, whatever it might be.
My thinking is that they may be making money now, with the thousands of new internet users starting daily, and not knowing any better.
But eventually, won't the number of suckers decrease as the average net use per person goes up?
The longer people are exposed to the spam, the more and more they just ignore it. Much like regular junk snail mail.
Then what form of ultra-annoying advertising will they use? I personally never read the emails, and would never consider buying from a company that sinks that low. Just my honest opinion
I have a patent for using computers to solve anything related to the body.
I'll just wait till his company gets further along, and bam, I'll hit him with the suit

I can't really picture reading a book off of a laptop or desktop and being comfortable. This is one case where a tablet pc might be nice to have. Although I see reading as a form of entertainment, and after I get home from staring at computers all day, I don't really want to look at any computer screens at unfortunately. I guess since I don't have the money (or the desire) to waste on a tablet, I'll just buy good old books for now
We exchange weekly tapes with three other local businesses for storage in fireproof safes. It is highly unlikely that we would have a disaster that bad that all three businesses would be affected (barring nuclear holocaust - in which case, it won't be my problem)
This all goes back to the multiple sites, multiple backup theory.
Our daily tapes are stored in a fireproof safe here. So the most we could lose would be those daily tapes, and be forced to go back to a weekly tape from the previous week.

A probably poorly designed tivo-ish router. I'd be interested in watching outgoing traffic. It would be very easy to put in a little reporting device to record what shows you watch, and what dvd's you watch. It might all be a ploy for in-depth marketing research.
I'm stuck in the midwest, with only cingular with a tower close enough to get a signal. Its so bad we have 4 cingular dealers in a town with 5500 people. Unfortunately we can't even get a signal in half the town. I'd be happy to just get a good signal, let alone a different company, but nobody else wants this area.
Now I can go back to webcasting my Neil Diamond/talk radio station. I was afraid I'd go bankrupt. It almost died without Neil Diamond, but now, I can make millions!
When I look back at my programming classes in college, the majority of the people didn't have a freakin clue. I don't think most of them could install a program on their own. Unfortunately the teachers all walked them through it, and they ended up passing, because they had their hands held the entire way. Its scary to think that some of them could end up in high places.
I can imagine having some critical item hooked up (for example an O2 tank for grandma) to a computer for monitoring of regulation, and teenager gets on cordless phone to dial her friend, and the 02 tank goes crazy with full force, blowing up grandma like a cartoon balloon. - Not a good thing
If they spent $500 million on marketing, that would have bought approximately 2 million machines completely. Why not give out a million and a half machines free, then you have a market share already, and then you get games guaranteed. Of course I'm not in marketing, but if somebody gave me a free game system, I'd be very willing to buy games (probably a lot) to play on it.
According to the article they were looking for "Kodak Instant Moments" - I wonder how they would use that in a commercial.
"When want the best images of your enemies, use kodak film..." naah.

Hmm
Windows 2000 was NT 5.0 kernel therefore almost *twice as good as linux
Windows XP is NT 5.1? so almost *twice as good as linux.
That means that between two releases of windows, they stayed the same, and linux moved farther ahead, at least by my calculations!
