I know of a couple of offices in NYC that do the same. The iMacs were bought because they are aesthetically pleasing, however the business software is windows only and is ran in a VM on the system. A lot of effort and money went into designing the entire office and the extra cost of the macs makes sense in my opinion. You don't buy a luxury car and then cover the seats with ratty old t-shirts.
hat has to add a lot of overhead to the already running process and to what benefit? If it's reading the code "as many as 20 times per second" that is going to add tons of CPU and RAM usage to the system that just isn't needed. F/OSS ftw!
With i7 chips, SSD HDs, 64bit OSes that support 4+ gig of triple chan memory (any or all of those in one machine are huge improvements in desktop computing power) you'll still not push it to capacity with 20 such apps running. We are at a point where we have an abundance of CPU/memory to spare, I see nothing wrong with developing such apps (if only as stop gaps) until such time that a suitable replacement arrives. These apps very well may be the impetus for the development of those open apps once it proved that a user/market base wants it.
Yeah, I bought a palm pilot and then one month later they announced the color version. I'm not getting bit by that again. I'll just wait for the color this time.
You were bitten by your own ignorance, not by being am early adopter... there was no announcement and subsequent release of the color palm one moth after the B&W Palm. It was easily 10 - 12 months. That said, early adopters know the price they pay for being at the front of the line.
Was using the term "rapped" in the summary of the article necessary? It gets rather old watching the word used so flippantly. Good Job bhagwad, you just surpassed Kdawson as the worse/. editor.
That's like saying everything at Miliw0rm is illegal. No, the software there can be used for illegal purposes, but in no way is the code it self illegal.
Blizzard doesn't really doesn't really want th EFF to get involved in this fight. Ok, the EFF may not actively take part in such a fight, but the OpenSource community will.

Not so much a mixed bag as it is further evidence that the RIAAs business model is flawed.
Here they have the worlds largest brick-and-mortar store and the most influential online music retailers moving ungodly units of their crappy products and still they cry poverty.
Yeah, and it'll stay that way until someone figures out how to fix the gerrymandering problem. As long as the parties decide who gets the safe seats, they'll pick the people who can raise the most money and avoid the people who have a spine.
Somewhat ironically the gerrymander comes from Elbridge Gerry, a combination of Elbridge Gerry + (sala)mander.
He was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. He also refused to sign the Constitution until it included a bill of rights.
Clearly at the end of the day he was still a consummate politician and for that he will forever be known for gerrymandering.
The problem is that you're a two-party state. Or atleast thats one of the major problems. The political spectrum (see below) within the two major parties in the U.S. run the gambit of philosophies, in essence repressing many factions of the country that dovetail into just the two parties.
Multiple party countries have their share of problems as well, namely getting more than two sides to agree on a single issue. That's not to say either system is better, but to point out that they are both wrought with their own unique problems. None of which can be solved by simply adding or removing more parties. Remember, there was a time when the U.S. had three major parties. No, the major issue here is no checks and balances and zero accountability.
No matter the number of parties a state has, allowing anyone party to go unchecked will guarantee tyranny, history has already proven that.
Isn't the Republican party traditionally the one that raises the biggest fuss about the Bill of Rights?
Not really. That depends on what you consider traditional.
The Republican Party, aka the GOP (Grand Old Party) was founded by anti- slavery supporters. They sold out their base supporters in 1876 in exchange for electoral votes, rejecting Reconstruction ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction ).
They [Republicans] have been seen as the party of the "rich" ever since, with the Democratic party touting itself as the party of the people.
This really only proves that politicians (on both sides of the aisle)don't make a fuss over anything unless it is self serving. Ok, that isn't fair to the "good" politicians out there, but IMO they lack the numbers and conviction to make a difference on a grander scale.
I'd say you weren't insightful, but your link is even if it proves you wrong about it being a marketing brand name. It is the actual name of the product. That's not up for dispute whether you like MS or not.

The article says that this ring infected more than 1.3 million machines...and then goes on to say that the FBI claims more than 1m machines have been infected. So is this ring controlling all of the worlds bot-nets?
I guess technically that is a correct statement, but for that the FBI could have just said that more than 5 machines have been infected and still be accurate.::shakes head::

This appears to circumvent the EU cookie law and could be sold to others as a means for doing the same. Evil, or evil genius?

I stand corrected...
A brick_and_mortar store is the largest music retailer in the world... Walmart. *Not* Apple.

1) You are more than likely breaking the ToS of your contract by using the connection for "business" purposes.
2) Switch to a Business plan. It will cost more... such is the cost of doing business.

Walt Disney Concert Hall had a very similar problem and was solved by sandblasting the the side to dull the reflection...

How about multiple desktops?! Native...that don't suck!
The focus of my point though was more on the self serving nature of both parties.
The American memory is a short fragile creature though and my sound byte of a slashdot post is not where anyone should get their history lessons.
You do deserve to be modded up for making sure that didn't go unsaid.
