But, of course, this only applies to semiconductor chips, there is no guarantee that some other technology will not take over and continue the march of smaller, cheaper and faster processors.
I think they will just move away from silicon. Perhaps we have reached the limits of silicon but their is lots of research being done by acedamia and chip manufacturers on other materials.
On the same not, go to a site with one of those annoying adds that flashes Red "YOU ARE A WINNER!!! CLICK HERE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE!!!" and is so bright it hurts your eyes. Then right-click on the image and select "Block Images from this Server" from the menu that pops up. Most people have no need for any images that are hosted on doubleclick.net's servers.
I just added Revolution OS to the top of my Netflix rental queue. This may be the first slashdotting of a movie rental. I imagine it could be a while before it becomes available...unless they have a lot of copies.
How do I join the lawsuit? I should get my share for having to explain to relatives that they had nothing to worry about. They were very concerned that their computer was telling them it was insecure and it was difficult to try explaining DHCP to them.
The Sims Online will then fork over $9.95 a month for access to its servers. Based on pre-orders, Electronic Arts expects to have "hundreds of thousands" of subscribers at launch.
That is millions every month. Not bad for a game that no one would touch when the creator first introduced it.
Sure, the primary computer lab should be mac or windows, for the reasons you sited but it would also be really great to have an open-source lab. I know I would have appreciated it when I was in school.
I believe the students would learn some really valuable skills using Linux and other open-source software. Linux is, IMHO the best development environment and a Linux lab in a school would create a great learning environment.
I am really confused as to how this is a copyright violation. Clearly, this is just another example of the DMCA being a stupid law that is out of control.
We have been given DMCA notices regarding the posting of "Black Friday" sale prices from the following companies:
Wal*Mart
Target
Best Buy
Staples
While we believe that sale prices are facts and can not be copyrighted, We have made the business decision to comply with the dmca notifications.
Our reasoning for this is very simple - Our mission is to serve consumers - If we were to choose to fight this battle, It would require more resources than are available - and we would no longer be able to serve consumers.
I fully expect this story to be making news sites as early as today.
Part of the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions state that in order to qualify for safe harbor protection, we must have no knowledge of the infringing activity. If we become aware of the removed content being reposted on our site, We have no choice but to remove the content, or forfeit our safe harbor provision. I respectfully ask your cooperation on this matter.
On a further note - We have been, and will be in further contact with the EFF, as well as ChillingEffects.org.
I am glad to see they are going to get the EFF involved. Hopefully they will be able to knock some sense into these corporations.

They didn't patent Christmas...just "purchasing presents."
Sorry Tiny Tim. There won't be any presents this year. Amazon allready has the patent for that sort of thing.
Why are we boycotting Amazon? I must have missed that one.
I want pictures! When do we get pictures?

I best be goin' down there and git me some disks at hoe-sale prices so I can lay down the phat scratch! Aight!
Is there any info on the dispersement of pay phones? Will this blanket major cities?
Am I just stupid or is the Stumpy not working quite right?

Do they have the death penalty?
I kinda doubt they are going to execute him. I don't even think the MPAA would encourage that.
I wish the .us had something like this. If you want a .us domain it has to be something like yourname.city.county.us
I wish I could just get myname.us

Can you hear me now...ahhhh shit, another BSOD!
This story really speaks to the maturity level of the slashdot crowd.
Doesn't sound too bad, but I think I will stick with IUMA. I would rather support independents than coorporate whor....errr, I mean popular artists.
They bring it back up after a year and now /. is trying to hose it on its first day back.

Dictation is fine...as long as the damned thing doesn't start talking back to me.
Were there any mounted cameras for cool launch vids?
unfortunately a computer failure caused the vehicle to tip over
What operating system were they running?
Yeah, I can imagine every shopping cart simultaneously locking up even though they are all in the store.

Are they doing this to prevent massive sales of loss-leaders? Is that what FatWallet does...find all the loss-leaders?
