Can these make Google Chrome the Linux distro that isn't just a plaything for a million undirected tinkerers, but a real desktop OS to replace Windows? I hope so. It is a shame BeOs is dead. I liked it.
This article reads like something a cheerleader on Microsoft's payroll wrote. It it is, that should be disclosed. I am not impressed with Windows 8 at all.
Do you have an HP printer? All the crap that comes bundled with those slows computers to a crawl. If so, uninstall all the crap that came with it, then install drivers only after downloading them from HP.com. You don't want all the junkware on the CD.
They never really did much customization anyway. Dell would ask a few questions to clients who can't tell storage space from ram, and would either send out the basic package with integrated video and sound, or the multimedia package with video and sound cards. Either way, most people only got 256MB of ram when XP needs 512. Some poor suckers only got 128.
I would wager that the only purpose of the site in question is to feed spyware. Webmasters who do that deserve to do time, not be paid. They are a public nusiance.
My guess is that having a video card has made the difference for you. My Lenovo 3000 N100 Laptop with Intel graphics was a dog until I upgraded to 2GB. Getting rid of the unwanted trialware and adding an SD card for Windows Readyboost made no real difference. Only a ram upgrade did, and I still feel like XP ran faster on my old HP laptop with an Athlon XP 1500+ and 768 megs of SDRAM.
A gig was a substantial amount of Ram in XP, more than most users would need. In Vista however, it's a bare minimum. Vista may say on the box it works with 512MB, but try it. It is crazy slow! You need 2GB to have a system that is usable.
Everyone who has made a negative comment so far has gone quickly to -1 land, but I had to put in my two cents worth. Doesn't it say in the guide to moderation that if you disagree, don't mod down, respond?
Yeah! To hell with the nanny state. Do as thou willst should be the whole of the law. Society itself was a mistake, and before it was invented, man was free.
I am not confusing two companies, I am comparing them. Hewlett Packard PCs are junk and Packard Bell PC when they were on the US market were junk. Packard Bell was the epitome of a junk computer, so I didn't think an explanation of the joke name, Hewlett Packard Bell would be needed. I stand corrected. Even on Slashdot, things need to be dumbed down for the masses.
The public has a knee jerk reaction when asked if they are for or against something they have never heard of. "Against" wins every time. This reaction can always be relied upon for "push polls" and other kinds of false statistics.
That article inluded a picture with Syd Barret, one of the original founders of the band who went insane and left the band soon after they were formed in the '60s. Even if they do reunite, Syd won't be there. David Gilmour will be. They should have used a picture with him in it.
I work for The Coca-Cola Company, so I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies.
Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.
But trust me.... You don't.
I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about.This is how bad info gets passed around.
If you don't know about the topic, don't make yourself sound like you do.
Cuz some slashdotters believe anything they hear.
Stop being singularity stupid! The answer is not to change what kind of ridiculous single day derived counting system to use, but to abandon the brainless lie of singularity and embrace the truth of nature's harmony, the 4 simultaneous day Time Cube!
Avast ye scurvy dogs! Hollywood wants to make us all go belly up! First they're be making movies about us like Pirates Of The Carribean, and now they're wanting to keelhaul us. Shiver me timbers, maytee!
Sing this to the tune of Super Bowl Shuffle:
We are the Windows Shufflin' Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it to you.
We're so bad we know we're good.
Blowin' your mind like we knew we would.
You know we're just struttin' for fun
Struttin' our stuff on everyone.
We're not here to start no trouble.
We're just here to do the Microsoft Shuffle.
Feel free to add to this!
Nearly every media outlet in the US has an astrology column. That alone should reveal that even trying to write about science is a wasted effort. No one would understand or believe it anyway. Americans believe in so much nonsense that a new dark age can't be far off.

It should have come with Linux!

Now a Voodoo will be a Hewlett-Packard-Bell. Manufactured junk designed to be replaced in 18 months. There is nothing like planned obsolescence.

So, if they have decided to go ahead with Duke Nukem Forever I guess they gave up on using Chinese Democracy by Guns N Roses as the soundtrack for it.
Have you seen Spiderman 2?
Oh the humanity!!

Stories about cow tipping are bull!
There are two anti-malware apps I can personally recommend: Linux and Mac OSX.
