IMX, ATI sucks with Windows drivers (Catalyst Control Center, anyone?). nVidia is the only video vendor with any decent Linux driver support.
Which is why I download the driver sets marketed toward dial-up users. No control center, only the drivers, and my computer takes less time to boot up than otherwise.
Why not sell subscriptions to RedHat's support, Novell's support, etc, so when the customer has a software problem, they could contact the companies that create the OS's? Dell also has tools for hardware that run outside of Windows (usually located on the first partition of the first primary hard drive), so if there are hardware issues, their customers would use those tools. Leave the configuration problems to the software companies and stick with supporting the hardware?
I'll just walk to the doit office. Depending on which office it's in, I could be there in as little as 2 minutes, or if it's across campus, it'll take me roughly 20 minutes. I suppose I could figure out where it is by finding out what it's IP address is....
Sounds like NJ might be overstepping its bounds of jurisdiction. I thought anything that had to do with interstate telecommunications in the United States had to go through the federal government? And the internet is international, not just interstate....
Gamecube - premature death?

As far as I know, the game cube is far from dead. In fact, my roommate and my neighbors have been playing Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Tennis, Mario Party 4, and Super Smash Bros. until 3am a many of times....
Is it just me, or does her waist seem smaller than the average waist-size of actresses in movies from the 1950's? I'm not saying she has to have a size 20, but honestly, it's like it goes from her hips to her spine, and then back to something that can support her reduced breasts...
For North Dakota, if you want to do their aviation program to become a pilot, you have to have a laptop. I wouldn't be surpriesd if most engineering students there also have laptops. Hell, even here in Madison, I'm tempted to say that laptops outnumber desktops by AT LEAST 5:1 for students, if you exclude the computer labs and the libraries.
Nobody else at my home uses Linux, and if they tried to do anything other than click on the shortcuts to Firefox or VLC or the random game like America's Army or Unreal Tournament, they wouldn't have any a very good idea of what to do. The same goes for when I'm at school. I know of nobody that uses Linux or knows how to use Linux (save for one persone I met once while at an engineering orientation during the summer,) so I'm pretty sure that if I want anything hidden, I'll store it in a folder labled.DON\'T\ LOOK\ HERE\ BECAUSE\ IT\ IS\ A\ SECRET! and place it in ~/Desktop/
I don't think so. I'm predicting a mass-mailing of emails containing one graphic stating that IFLB is the hottest stock out there, and that if you want to get rich quick, you should get in now and stake your piece of the pie.
I'm not trying to jump to any conclusions, but how could the movie industries claim to know how much money they lose due to piracy? To me, it's very similar to the music industries. What's to stop them from claiming that they lost a boatload due to piracy when in fact they just made shitty product during the fiscal year? And who is to say that everyone downloading movies or music online is pirating? If I bought a CD, leave it at home with my family while I go to school, and download the same songs, would it be considered "stealing," even though I own the CD and could rip the music onto my computer had I not left the CD at home so the CD itself doesn't get stolen?
...and I personally think the Winning Eleven series is a more solid series than FIFA is. Maybe they're learning that people aren't all to concerned about Madden 05, Madden 06, etc, when the only major difference is the roster, while more important aspects (like physics, which Konomi constantly improves in it's WE/Pro Evolution Soccer games) remain fundamentally unchanged for years at a time?
When I first got my Dell computer, I noticed that there was no manual, and the only printed documentation for it told you how to plug it into the wall and connect the monitor. Now, assume somebody is having a problem with their computer and is looking for a solution without calling up Dell. The natural thing to do would be to flip through the documentation, find the likely cause, and then try what the instructions say to do. How the hell am I supposed to do that if my computer is having problems? Odds are that if I can read the documentation that is stored in the computer, I don't need to read it, and that when I do happen to need it, that I'm unable to.
It kind of goes along the lines of Dell having all of its users rescue disks stored as images on their computers - how the hell am I supposed to restore the computer if I can't get access to the image? Fortunately for me, we called Dell, told them that the computer didn't include the software required to burn the image onto a CD (Actually, we even bought the computer with only a DVD drive, not bothering to pay for a burning drive as we had an extra laying around,) and they mailed out a copy of a Windows XP install disk. At least now I can reformat the hard drive and reclaim access to that wasted space.

It has had the momentum and capabilities for quite some time, so the grandparent post is nothing revolutionary, like you said. The only problem in the past few years has to do with the markets, and with cities as well as countries adopting Linux in lieu of Windows, corporations are starting to believe that they may have some incentive to port some of their software over to Linux.
The major thing I see with this product isn't so much what the product is, but what it represents. As more companies produce more fanless PSU's, then that means competition will naturally bring the price down. All I need for my silent media station is 400GB of solid-state storage. Why 400GB, you ask? When you have a silent system, why would you want to use compressed audio? In fact, I believe 400GB would be the minimum, especially if I wanted to store iso's of my movies on there as well.
Does this mean that after we take over Mexico again, we'll actually keep it this time, unlike the Mexican-American War? Sweet, the US is going to get cheap labor again!
You insensitive clod, as we all know, the earth has only existed for approximately 6000 years. We all know that the all mighty God set those dinosaur bones into the earth to make them appear to be 150 million years old, and that the sun revolves around the earth. Heliocentrists be damned!
...only 9 years until I have 68GB of solid-state storage! Finally, now I know when I can build my no-moving-parts, silent jukebox for my soundsystem! I wonder how much storage I'll need by then if I need 40GB now, especially if DVD-A becomes popular, let alone once we move to holographic storagetakes off in September of this year, although that date seems to make me wonder why the hell we're arguing about HD-DVD and BluRay....

I think it was more in terms of quantities of WMD's. I swear, I'm going to make that a counting unit by the end of the decade.
I was wondering why my accounting book is so fixated on IBM! Well, now I know.
Now that they're about the same price, how do they compare to each other?
And this one is just thoroughly confusing: http://www.sandia.gov/media/images/jpg/3MILLION.jp g

We've been talking about it for ages, how about now? Meh, let's just skip IPv6 and go and use teleportation.
That game was nothing but pre-rendered scenes with a cursor over them.
