They have this chip they recovered from a furturistic robot a few years ago, and they reverse engineered it to the point where they could create a nearly sentient machine.
This machine is now in charge of our entire country. It makes laws for us, fires nuclear warheads for us, etc.
Anyways, the chip is pretending to send billions of dollars in foreign aid money while it is really ordering hundreds of millions of pizzas for its cyborg creations.
Because he doesn't realise this is just a small step for XBox customers.
When Linux first booted on an XBox, that was a big step. Everything since then has been a small step, and will continue to be so until we can just drop a disc into an XBox and boot straight to Linux.
I wish that M$ had given into the demands, or at least an authorized Linux bootloader. That would make things easier for Linux fans everywhere, and it would've prevented the easing up of piracy.

I use konqueror, as a habit from when Mozilla wasn't submiting forms in Sid. By my current configurations it lets me decide which sites can use cookies. If I don't allow cookies, they don't go through.
What we need is a system where I could allow DRM for foo to use DRM, but keep it away from bar.
I'm sure that something like this could be implemented in bochs or wine. Maybe one of those PConPCI cards that Sun is offering would do the trick.
Distributors ship it with computers because consumers expect it and never get exposed to anything better such as linux.
Install fests give non-penguineers a chance to experience the glory, so Microsoft sees it as a threat.
Just like AOL, Microsoft survives and advances by making deals with other companies and sucking them dry. Many companies are scared shitless of shipping a PC without Windows for fear of Microsoft contract revokation.
Microsoft has made every computter manufacturer its bitch. On a whim they can revoke their agreement with Dell. Dell would then be forced to ship with another OS and drop their prices significantly or bribe their way back into Microsoft's stranglehold.
You become a monopoly not by being the best in the market, but by being the fittest in the market.
Linux is fundumentally designed as a replacement for UNIX, not a replacement for Windows.
I've been Linux-only for two years, and I've been running a Linux server for 4 years. As a result, I have a much different view on things.
While you ask for Visual Studio, I ask for a decent replacement for my developer tools. I don't even see "grep" for winshit, much less the pipes required to make it useful. I don't see a decent commandline, or any semblence thereof. COMMAND.COM is crap, and so is CMD.EXE(essentially COMMAND.COM+DOSKEY).
GUI utilities are $599.40+tax a dozen in Windows, and a dime of bandwidth a dozen in Linux. A good command line base is essential for me. I can search through all of HTTP access logs and only display the results of my dad checking his email to find his current IP address with a single, simple, line of shell code. Then I can securely connect to his computer and change whatever needs to be changed without wasting bandwidth with (Tight)VNC.
If you just want virtual desktops (which can be of any amount) check out LiteStep.
Pointing and clicking is like a baby pointing and screaming. Stuff gets done, but it's a lot faster to ask in an intelligible language. I'll never give up a great shell(zsh being my favorite) for a prettier interface.
Such a device would be controlled by a robot arm, a la Starshit Troopers.
If the robot runs Windows, which is very popular in tattoo parlers, then you are more likely to get a 300 page raw postscript dump. If you are put under for the tattoo, or pass out from the pain, you will awake to have postscript covering your entire body.
At first this sounds bad, but you could sue M$ for enough money to buy the UNIX code and GPL it.
(Sorry if this turned into a rant, the printer at work dumped hundreds of pages of postscript onto expensive paper under the direction of a Windows XP system. My Debian iBook came to the rescue and reprinted it correctly.)
Anyways, postscript is cooler than a null pointer exception, especially if it's a poscript http server.
I made a an XMMS console remote and ran it from my zaurus over wifi. I know use a dedicated MP3 server that mounts my music over samba and lives inside my stereo.
The script could easily be adapted for use in almost any control environment. Up/down+enter for easy use on the Zaurus w/out typing.
I would rather have $foo/hour than $(foo*.9)/hour with overtime limited to 40 hours a week.
If I was getting paid an hourly wage for my private programming projects, I'd be working more as well.
Overtime is a scam anyways. Offer employees what they're worth and the hours they deserve. Programming is hour-independent for the most part. Most of us get more done from 1pm to 3am anyways.
The 5500 is really a better choice. It's only $199, has 64mb of ram, and all of the same expandability options. All they did between the two was half the ram and double the processor's clockspeed.
A word of warning: The usb cradle SUCKS. I recommend a wifi card, or at the very least, removing the usb link from the cradle so that you can type while linked.
It comes with a battery charger and impact-resistant hard-plastic screen protector.
Oh, and be sure to use an SD card as your primary storage option. Large CF cards need to be re-indexed after un-suspending.
You just need to run a few wires back to your computer, and write a script that listens on/dev/ttyS0.
You can play an mp3 from your script with "mpg321 foo.mp3" or "mpg123 foo.mp43". The former works better IMHO.
I have an mp3 server in my stereo the shares its file over samba, so that everyone in the house (myself and the winshit lameasses) can get files or add to them.
What, aside from decoding some jpegs, is fp used for these days? It's faster to do the calculations as integers and then divide into a floating point value when completed.
because we all know that render times kick ass when processors have a 12mb/s wifi link between them. What were multi-processor manufacturers thinking building the processors into one unit when beowulfing is available!
(Beowulf clusters have long-term power but slow reaction times. Firewire networking (maybe scsi?) would help with this, but the node->node bandwidth is still an issue.)
Why would Mandrake use Intel's compiler for the Opteron?
I'll just stick everything I buy in the microwave for a few seconds:)
Is there consumer-available equipment to read and write these things? Aside from the privacy concerns, it would KICK ASS if my shoe could log me into my server...
Anyways, I'll be lining everything I wear with copper and drag a grounding pole behind me everwhere I go. I'll also carry an ion-ray gun to disable any of those little bastards I come across...

get it optimized today. With a dual G5, you should get it installed in a few days.
and I'll challenge the law for you.
or 3.5E2 in /. terminology.
they didn't have mass media companies to raise situations like this.
The government did a much better job of ruining people's lives.
I'd throw in accusations that SCO is composed of communist vampires or that SCO's UNIX is just VMS with a new shell.
Just so you guys know, SCO does have a secret biochemistry lab working on a coffee-eradicating bacteria.

fluffy will still be alive. Hypothetically at least.

I'd have to, in order to protect my media from accidental microwaving.
Doesn't copyright law allow for a personal backup, so long as the two copies are not used at once?

I just patented it.
but the average English teacher/class would have no freaking clue to modify perl code.
A wiki textbook might be a better idea.
