Windows ME is a cafeteria full of 1st graders who are in a food fight- with the occasional wetting of the pants because "I wasn't expecting the sausage to hit me there..."
From the article:
At the same time, he noted that the Mac's growth pales in comparison to the number of Windows users added each year. "Our growth this year in PCs is bigger than the entire Mac install base," Allchin said. And he added that much of the growth Apple has seen has come on the music side. The Mac, he said, "is now a peripheral to the iPod."
Google has a lot going for it- last quarter they had a little over $1 Billion USD in total revenue.
By contrast, Microsoft had about $11 Billion last quarter
Apple Computer, even with its tiny marketshare, makes as much money in a year as Microsoft does in one quarter, $11 Billion.
I'm not sure google can compete with MS in a direct fashion yet and succeed, however they will be an interesting company to watch over the next few years. If Apple can compete in a niche market and only be four times smaller (by revenue) that Microsoft, google could quite possibly to very well.
I bought a video card from ATI that said "PCI-X" Compliant for ExTrEME gAmErz or something. Had to send it back because it was pci-extended not pci express. Heck i have PCI express slots, and the extended cards won't fit. Maybe ATI is a little heavy on the dude/leetspeak these days....
There is a very simple way to determine who gets "Journalist" status (as in professional). Anyone can be a journalist by reporting whatever story they want. This is a good thing. However, it does not make you a professional journalist.
For a blog to be considered as an entity like the NY Times, a good indicator of how worthy they might be would be to see if blogs had a press pass to certain events. If they don't, they're not professional journalists, and they get no protection. If a blogger CAN get a press pass to some event, then chances are pretty good that they have the professional standing to avoid messes like these.
Also, legitimate journalistic entities tend to have some kind of oversight to see that a story is reported correctly.
A final note: your vaildity as a journalist depends on how much other entities respect you as a journalist. (Read: Journalist status is relative to your credibility with existing journalists)
No one sells crack. People offer it. Crack sells itself. If you don't want crack, you don't have to buy it.
Let's replace crack with another addictive substance called iPod. The iPod sells itself, and Apple is not forcing anyone to use the iPod. Apple offers the iPod, you can refuse it by not paying for it.
Actually, Steve has changed a lot since he got married and focused on his family life. He used to be an asshole, but he changed his tune as he got older. After all, he has over $1 billion (pinky to corner of mouth). he does not need to prove himself to the corporate world.
On the other hand, Bill Gates is relatively unchanged since Windows- screwd businessman, 2nd best in his class (allusion to Harvard Mathematics and operating systems), etc.
Then there's Larry Elison. He has not changed with time- scratch that- changed positively. The size of Ellison's ego is directly proportional to how much he can screw Bill Gates.
The primary market lies in two places for video editing on a high-end system: Avid or Apple. The specs on that machine, while not nearly as good as mine;), were very high and i do not suspect a professional or consumer would buy a high-end graphics card for a "normal" machine and expect their software to scream. At that point, one may as well go with the Avid or Apple system, two proven industry standards.
The mere statement that "evolution is a theory, not a fact" is in no way creationist, put on a textbook it's spun that way, but the words do not mention "God," "Adam," "Eve," etc.. There also could have been some other scientific process of which we have yet to understand that could alter greatly our current theory of evolution, making the sticker factuallly correct.
If fact, the next generation of evolution theories could be refered to as Evolution++, Evolution#, or Objective Evolution. Heck if things really change, we might even see Evolution Java.
Français: J'ai doit le reacteur le plus de Japan! Japan est trop petite et en plus ils ont les yeux le bizzare. En va dire que France a les grandes egos, mais ego est une mot d'allemange et Freud. Les personnes français n'ont pas un ego.
Japaneese: Give us a break you over-brearing French bastards!
Japan should get the reactor because of its neutrality in all of this matter to Britain, US, Germany, etc. France (M. Jaques Chirac) wants to create a new power to challenge the United States called the European Union... the only problem is that in his vision, France IS the king and lord of the EU.
Sorry, I noticed a gramatical error in my post. It should read: I did graduate work at the University of Iowa which is renouned for its writing program.
Using the feminine personal pronoun as an indefinite article is as moronic as using the masculine personal pronoun for personification. Thus the captain greets us: "Welcome to my ship. Isn't he splendid?"
You sir (I assume according to your rules) need to get out more often. I did graduate work at the University of Iowa which is renouned for their writing program. As a participant of this program, I can confidently say that the parent's post lacked a clear explanation of why said rule is true. Yes, the post had some grammar notions, however the grammar arguments were non-sequitor to the issue at hand, which is the he/she problem. Please comeback later with some concrete examples instead of busying slashdotters with your logical fallicies.
As a part of EECpE at Iowa State University, I know how valuable team and communication skills are to making a successful project. I 100% agree with the parent post, because there are so many different ways to design hardware and software. Just for the record, in an earlier post I ruffled someone's pantaloons by saying CMOS processors are limited to about 25 Mhz. TTL/CMOS goes up to about 125 Mhz, and ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) comes from the TTL family. The theory behind it is that when a transistor is in partial saturation, it can get a logic HIGH (1) or LOW (0) switched faster than going through an entire cycle of "on's and off's."
This is the same technology IBM uses to design their processors, and it's kind of like walking a tight rope between signals. I would be interested to see some of the IBM fabrication techniques for this unique method of high-preformance computing.
Flash is nice for some sites, note the "some," but for the vast majority of websites flash is extra bloat in the bandwidth area. I have done web development jobs before, and I was constantly surprised by how limited many LAN computers are.
Do anything with a school, business, or corporate entity and chances are you'll find that there is no flash plug-in for their browsers. On a good LAN environment, the administrator has disabled access to install any software, including a flash plug-in. Many people simply cannot view flash-based content, and that is where Flash's main failing is.
First of all, it's electrical engineers, not electricians, who do this sort of stuff. Big difference in salary and education level.
Secondly, the iPod would be fine with 4x3.6V batteries without a resistor. Adding a resistor (as opposed to a voltage regulator) would be extremely inefficient. If anything, a voltage regulator called a 7812 should be in place. You can find the 7812 at http://www.jameco.com
Apple lists the iPod's power block as 12V 1A, which is the same output as the 7812.
I had the chance to see Apple's overall manager for the iPod project last year, and I was impressed... Her iPods were so thin and her *&^(s were so awesome! I did not get the chance to ask if she were single, sorry./tters! Like I would even tell you if I knew... muahahahhaha

Oh dear God now you've done it....
No, windows users are worse. Ask a windows user anything about a kernel and they'll say "whoosa jigga wha?"

"All your case are belong to us!"
Photons actually do exist and this is well known. A photon is actually an electromagnetic wave.

It could always be worse- what if it were Real Media or Windows Media?

You get a C- for that comment. :P
I resent that.

With all these iPod-related stories, slashdot should just update their name servers with an ipod zone (ipod.slashdot.org) and send people there.
