This isn't news. There have been reports out for months showing unprotected Windows machines being compromised within a few minutes on cable or dsl connections.
Stock price alone doesn't mean anything about the value of the company. A company with 1,000 shares at $100 is going to be worth a hell of a lot more than a company with 10 shares at $1,000.
How many technically-oriented people are motivated by the idea of receiving a doll?
How many programers and testers have toys - they'll probably call them "action figures" scattered around their desk and monitor? A very large percentage based on the companies I've worked at. I didn't look at the dolls Intel is giving out but from what I've seen the chance to add another toy to the collection would motiviate a large number of technically oriented people.
None of which detracts from your idea that Intel is self destructing because it definately appears they are.
Try understanding what you're talking about before opening your mouth and looking like a damn fool. The CAO has nothing to do with zoning and everything to do with government taking property rights away from individuals.
Is it immoral to send jobs overseas? Of course that is going to depend on your own sense of morality. Many people would argue that US companies should look after US jobs/workers first, just like German companies should take care of their citizens, French thieirs and so on. Caring only about the bottem line might be the best thing for the companys gain/loss columns on the annual report but that doesn't make it the right thing to do.
Why should people worry about the global economy when it's not in their best interest? To the workers who lost their jobs in the US and Europe the wellbeing of the global economy is the last thing they're worried about.
You think Bushs judges had anything to do with this? The liberals running King County in Washington took 65% of every rural land owners property. Give me Bush judges over socalist liberals anyday.
Of course if your site reaches the magnitude of/. or other high traffic sites the cost may start to be prohibitive, but at that time your site would be popular enough to sell the service it provides and actually have people pay for it.
But if you switch to a subscription service you can expect to lose 80-90% of your viewers which would take care of the bandwidth problem. There is very little online that isn't duplicated somewhere else and the majority of people will go where it's free rather than pay even if the pay site is better. Not all, but the majority.
I suppose the most news-worthy aspect of this particular crack was in response of someone sinking what Microsoft was apparently toting around as the Titanic.
I wish I had mod points for you, that's probably the best analogy and funniest thing I've seen on slashdot all week.
And what are they when they call states for Kerry during the election before even 30% of the results are in? I suppose those are real news channels, right?
You fucking pessimists. By your logic, we'd also blame BMW, Mercedes, Chevrolet, and Ford for making cars that can go really fast, which allow assholes to drive like assholes and kill people. It's not the automobile manufacturers fault that many people are idiots and assholes.
That is the logic some people have used against the gun industry, and as absurd as it sounds the cases were not dismissed out of hand but actually had to go through lawsuits before being dismissed. Which isn't stopping them from trying again.
Have you looked any statistics lately? The USA is leading by a HUGE number in terms of deaths due to firearms. Other countries don't generally allow guns for the general public and, gee, lots less people are DYING there.
Take a look at Switzerland, higher gun ownership than the US and less violence. The US is a more violent country in general than many other industrial nations, guns have nothing to do with it.
I really hope you don't have kids at home since guns are wildly more likely cause harm accidentally than be used for self-defense.
That's pure 100% Handgun Control Inc bullshit. Guns are used far more often in self defense than in accidental deaths. There are as many as 2.5 MILLION defensive uses of firearms every year in the US and less than 15,000 accidental deaths total, far less if you only count children, even counting "children" like HCI does up to age 24.
Yup. Bram's blog makes it clear that MS's approach to P2P is to reverse engineer an outdated version of his protocol.
I'm sure he'd like to think that he's smarter than they are and they're just trying to reverse engineer an outdated version of his protocol.
You're correct people with Aspergers do tend to be guileless and often speak without any idea of the consequences of what they may say. Not out of malice, they just don't have the kind of social skills most people expect. People with Aspergers also have a skewed view of reality and tend to blow any little thing totally out of proportion. A rant about Microsofts P2P application being vaporware, stupid, a bad approach and so on would be totally predictible from someone like that even if it has no basis in reality.
I wonder why the slashdot crowd is so bent on ad blocking... This is a free Internet mostly, supported by ad revenues. This is what they do for a living. If you don't like the ads, don't go to their site... Not looking at the ads is like taking something from the grocery store without paying...
It's largely a response to sites that have highly intrusive, some would say abusive, popups/popunder ads, large flashing ads either animated gifs, java or flash and such. If so many sites didn't have those people would live with static banner ads without going through the trouble to block them. As it is today the less obnoxious ads get blocked along with the rest.
Part of the deal with Dell may be that OS X doesn't get sold on generic Dell x86 machines. Apple may still specify the hardware that it will run on and simply refuse to support other hardware that may run the OS but not be as stable.
Although Ford was not the first to build a self-propelled vehicle with a gasoline engine, he was, however, one of several automotive pioneers who helped this country become a nation of motorists.
For did not invent the car. He was instrumental in building them on a production line so they were affordable to more people but that's a far cry from inventing it.
Possibly, more more likely the people who get a lot of spam aren't using blacklists like spamhaus because they either don't want someone else to filter their mail or can't afford to lose any email.
Personally I would rather NOT have my ISP run a spam filter because you don't know exactly what they're blocking.
Some people also have email address that get the 'catch all' mail on a domain as well, so the random username spam that gets sent out they also receive.
.I used to work more closely with our IT department where I work, and let me tell you, if you can VNC and SSH out to your own box on the internet, you've got it ten times better than most people in corporate America.
I think you're underestimating how good it is. We can connect out via VNC or Remote Desktop and having worked at a place where that was blocked I'd rate it at far more than 10x better. Going from a company that allows it to one that doesn't is terrible, so much so that I'd probably turn down a job somewhere that blocked it.
I feel sorry for those who can't do it, and really sorry for those who used to be able to and now can't!!
I'm not saying give people money to recycle things. I should probably have been clearer. I'm saying get rid of taxes on recycling companies, like the aluminium can recycling companies. Reduce their tax burden and costs by what? 20%, 30%. Recycling companies then keep much more of the money from the products they've sold and have a good reason to go out and scavenge more.
If you do that there will be less tax revenue coming into the government and they'll just raise taxs elsewhere to compensate. The environment might be cleaner, if the recycling company didn't just pocket the extra and not go out and scavenge more, but the consumers pocket will be just as empty.

You can "what if" a reason to justify nearly anything.

Sounds like a vacuum food sealer would be perfect for that. You could remove all of the air and seal individual disks or stacks of them.

The other 25% are recording music off digital radio and sharing it on P2P and Usenet.

I can't decide if this post should be modded funny, ironic or sad. If it's true I might be just a tad bitter about it.

No kidding. Seems like a lot of effort and trouble to go through when for $55 more he could have something that is probably 100 times more efficient.
