I have it from a good source that all these reposts are done because company X won't give their products, for free, to the editors.
So what they do is repost the story so get them slashdotted, thus raise their bandwidth bill. They usually seem to get free products after the companies realize it's cheaper to fork over a free product than pay excessive bandwidth bills.
Ok, so what do cable companies expect when their only bandwidth capping is done outside of their operation center? You'd think if this were a problem they would engineer a way for them to easily cap bandwidth per account on the upstream level. Instead, we'll just send law enforcement out as a way of capping bandwidth (through fear).
Developing a BSD-based OS with security in mind = good!
Sell cds to fund the project = good.
Release theme song = good?
Making your users associate your OS with cheesy salsa music = ????
Imagine a little cluster of computers running an instance of Counter Strike, you'd have an army all through the commands of a single keyboard. Kind of like Mr. Dubya Bush.
Forward men, we must kill the noobs!
This will make things interesting for software licenses that charge per cpu.
for those of you who don't know, with hyperthreading, the system will appear to have two cpus. If you have a dual system with hyperthreading, then it will look like 4, and so on.
I don't have to be hassled to go to a store, actually find music i like which is there, remove the security device, stuff it into my coat and go home, rip it to mp3/ogg/whatever.
The internet just makes stealing so easy!

So Everquest ripped this model from the U.S. Government! Are they paying royalties?
Linus Torvalds, the man behind the creation of Linux, which is used by millions of computers around the globe, has went to use the bathroom, possibly to take a leak.

"Valley Forge might not have been so cold, and Washington's crossing of the ice-bound Delaware River wouldn't have been so dramatic, if he had done it a century later--because our climate conditions have shifted since then, and today, the Delaware River rarely freezes."
I would attribute that to the amount of chemicals being dumped into that system as well, I pity the idiots who put their bodies into that water.
...In other, unrelated, news, The MP for Sittingbourne and Sheppey has started a new campaign which requires all pornographic material destined for minors to be rerouted to, oddly enough, his mail address for further review.
Not a huge performance jump there to justify the $55 increase in price.
Maybe users are saving money by not getting the "top of the line" cpu and dumping more money into components, such as video cards, more memory, faster hard drives, etc.

Found here> states "using technology to steal music and movies is no different from walking into a store and shoplifting a CD or DVD"
I can note a bunch of differences:
I don't have to be hassled to go to a store, actually find music i like which is there, remove the security device, stuff it into my coat and go home, rip it to mp3/ogg/whatever.

I'd like to lock those pesky telemarketers to the wall and make them listen to that for a while.
But, we really know they are all behind it... people giving out their cell phone numbers for a "concert", ha!
Did anyone tell them to expect a phone call for them to purchase magazines tomorrow, at dinner time?

Look at the price comparison from pricewatch.com:
For an XP 2200 - $145
XP 2000: $90
