I love the way that slashdot geeks think that they are the average user. The number of linux installs on PS3 is so small that there's no reason for Sony to continue to support it...
There is a difference between not supporting it, and forbidding it. And while the people doing it, are a minority, they are a vocal minority of early adopters. Ya know... The folks that made it popular in the first place.
Talk about revisionist history... The lawsuits over this marketing change are STILL being settled. This whole si MiB crap was a bad attempt to clarify when the numbers were non standard computer usage for marketing reasons.
Of course I am old enough to remember doing binary math on my fingers for an algebra test when calculators were not allowed. Really... No calculators. You actually had to understand math. No, really!
My bet is a DNA testing fecal probe dongle, it is after all the only way they could screw their customers more.
Now I have that bit from Idocracy stuck in my head. "OK. Stick this in your ass, this in your mouth, and this in your ear. No wait..." Should have the same effect.
You mean like the security model and the virus / malware protection? (And no the virus problem is not just a market share thing. It also has to do with not running as admin by default.)
The purpose of IT is not to have the latest shiny. The purpose of IT is to support the business. If the business needs a software application that only works in IE6, than you support it. Or you tell your boss that he has to upgrade, and spend a few days playing xbox while you look for a job.
Looking too much like Windows is not a good thing. Since Ubuntu looks nothing like Windows, people do not expect it to behave exactly like Windows. Less questions of "Where is my Control Panel? I want to add some software!"
Even if that works for new partition, what about existing ones? These drives have been out a while, and people have been installing software to them... The best solution will be a program that moves and/or resizes existing partitions to align them properly. The question is will it be an updated gparted, or something new? What ever it is, I have no doubt that it will be out for Linux far before it is out for XP.:)
With a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.2 PUE or for every 1.2 watt used to power the equipment, 1 watt is used for cooling, the Wynyard data center is currently HP's most efficient data center.
Did they add the cost to get the power, connectivity, equipment and personnel up there? And will they for more remote places when North America starts doing it?
Yeah. And an image editor - wait, no, 3 image editors a few which work only on the command line. And five word processors. Ten calculators. A utility to write random data to the disk.
You want MS Word to come for free? That is asking a lot...
Slashdot Mirror
People ask why I don't play online games... I just will not play with rampant cheaters.
I bet my group outnumbers yours. Quite a dilemma, is it not?
Actually it is probably a lot of the same people. :)
While I love the products of both companies, they are becoming ridiculous control freaks.
Becoming? Uh... Have you just recently discovered this "Internet" thing?

And people still ask why I refuse to buy a console... I just will not buy hardware I am not allowed to own.
It could also be that some of us fought the problem in the beginning, and lost to business majors, so we are bitter. Now GET OFF MY LAWN!

so how can Fedora bl less user-friendly?
Update Manager and Software Center to start with.
Contact.... Do you want to find out the owner is a patent troll before or after you do a lot of coding?
Apparently they actually had. http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=7572
Soon? I bet it is out now...
My karma ran over your dogma. Never seemed more appropriate. :)

Because it is not fully compatible, and with some old applications it just does not work. (Mostly custom apps)
Something has to be made that is CLEARLY BETTER.

Did no one read the second sentence in my post?

But then how will I run Mass Effect 2?
Oh, quit your WINEing...
This is silly... Republicans are not "evil." Democrats are not "evil." Politicians are evil! The little letter next to the name means next to nothing.
Hey, he is way more open about disregarding the Constitution and civil liberties.
It was all just a misunderstanding. He was actually saying "Vote for chains" and none of us caught it. :)
If I have nothing to hide, I shouldn't mind being searched every time I enter or leave a building?
You shop at Fry's too?
