You think they could have paid someone 5 bucks to actually spell words, and not look so angry.
I'm sure GloFo was more than forthcoming with all sorts of fantastic documents and whatnot they've had from all their previous rally sessions with other institutions against Intel.
Not saying Intel doesn't have some major Karma issues coming back at them, it's just kinda fishy the new lawsuit just happens to be coming from a newly inducted AMD/GloFo state.
Used a Toughbook in the Persian Gulf last year, needless to say it only lasted for about 30 minutes then stopped working. 110+F heat will make any laptop inoperable. Was on a military ship, so we had to keep it indoors.
I had a passing interest of the issues at large and I find this decision disturbing, considering our tax dollars paid for this service in the first place!
I consider myself lucky that in my area, the cableco isn't big and mean (Eastlink), and Telus is (AFAIK) the only telco for ADSL in my area, which I would never in a million years use.
How many shenanigans and payola are Rogers and Bell throwing at the CRTC anyways?
"As the sour economy and the Web start putting more pressure on the cable companies, they may be forced to consider breaking up the big bundles of channels they now insist that consumers buy and instead offer individual channels or smaller groups of channels on an à la carte basis."
What kind of dream world do you live in? I give this about as much chance as happening as anything else that the cable companies would do to "improve" service (ie. giving a crap). Anything short of a federal mandate filtering down from the White House through the FTC wouldn't change their current practices of price gouging and various ongoing false claims of bandwidth throttling and whatnot.
The prison system is crowded enough with America's own citizens: Put them in their originating countries jails. It's what is going to happen when they get released in your scenario anyways. Unless they get a citizenship whilst in prison, hmmm.
If anyone from the BBC would have died from a road accident, it would have been someone from Top Gear or Fifth Gear. Not that anyone should die in a road accident at all.
To an actualy Lively, near Sudbury Ontario (both parents are from there), there is no reason for me to want to go, virtually to an INCO produced wasteland (no it's not that bad nowadays...).
Does that mean because Windows Vista is an inferior design to XP does that mean natural selection could play a role in "weeding out" this particular direction the Windows world is taking? Definitely an "unsustainable approach" as far as I'm concerned.
Or we just put separate M$ design teams on a deserted islands on the Pacific and whoever can build a canoe to get them back to society wins?
I'm in a different Navy, but we work with the US. I'd have to say I'm happy that not everything we get "forced" to use is M$, but the training on said platforms is usually a ppt presentation, so good luck to us if the system craps out in some strange way whilst we're bobbing around in the middle of the Augie(sp?)!
Then they are as firmly entrenched in the M$ death spiral as we are. Although *some* of our kit is Linux, it's very specialized and it would be on less than 1% of computers that I have come in contact with. It's just too easy to keep the "status quo" going then to have to train the front line administrators in more than one OS (2000 and XP is difficult enough), let alone more than one office suite. When a data spill happens, (more often than not it's a computer error, rather than human error) I have yet to see an entire computer confiscated (although I'm sure it's happened). If anything the offending hard drive would be confiscated or *gasp* in a pinch we'd probably just slap a secret sticker on it to save time. Good thing I work for a country with not so many super duper secrets like the US, or even a budget worth 1/50th of the DoD, any orginization that large would be a major pain in the arse.
My Linux knowledge is practically nil, and I'm the "expert" in my unit.

...we know when Starcraft II will be released. After October 1st 2010.
Was it a European Swallow or an African Swallow?

The American system started out OK, but then they got the party system, which wasn't intended but an inevitable result.
[*] I live in a developing country where Internet reaches less than 15% of the population.
So you live in Northern Ontario eh?
I'm counting dialup as not being internet, as this article is related to broadband...
That bank workers steal money like I steal stationary from work isn't some giant revelation.
Doesn't seem to be hurting profits though. At least in Canada we may not have that big of a problem.
OK, I append my title to say "Articles like this make slashdot great, which then make the articles not so great..."

I presume...he knows what he's talking about!
Will it go into Super-Saiyan switch mode?
Memorex is usually my brand of choice for price and availability, now I know why! (hurries off to Futureshack!)

I already have a stinky? Seriously can they come up with dumber names!?!

What could possibly go wrong?
Because how can you kill that which hath no life? Or doesn't have 36 lives for that matter...

Now next time I spend (waste?) 15 minutes watching them zoom around the city I can actually have a clue where they are heh.
