and you have to add that US law does not even apply to half of our world
i think they could have a very hard time to enforce such a claim in many countrys all about tha world
if your post isn't to far off topic i would like to point out that if they want a system to prevent another 9-11 they have to take control from the pilot completely or it will not help a shit
i think that would be bad
maybe in a few years a/. reading terrorist finds a way to crash a plane in a building with manipulating some soft or hardware without endangering his live
but racism is not offending "anyone"
it is offending a race for something they unblameable for
they normally cant change their colour
gangsta rap (i list all the time) may be very offensive but you are offended because you chose to be offended not because of what you are
if free speech is only free as long as you don't damage anyones rights
for me protecting racism under free speech is like protecting burning down churches under religious freedom
the hard part about this is that citizens have control their governments decisions in such cases
why should guns not be controled
every "good" gunowner is going to have a gun anyway and maybe a few "bad" guys can be keept from gunowning
i think racism has nothing to do with free speech and has no right to be protected
because in any context it is wrong to encourage racism
you are missing one big point
what about all those win 9x, 2k and XP users with no Trusted Computing
i think they can't lock out linux without locking out older versions of windows
this will be impossible because many company's still use old windows machines
an other problem in Trusted Computing i can see is that a company has to update all their computers hardware and software at once
it isn't very useful to have 200 secure machines in a network with a few thousand unsecure computers all used for handling the same data
the people will accept it, and buy new stuff with it, as long it is possible to turn it off
everybody will turn it off as long as there are old machines that cant use this Trusted Computing stuff
that means we will have at least 3 or 4 years in which linux can gain a noticeable market share so we either can intergrate Trusted Computing into linux somehow or prevent Trusted Computing from success because the linux market got too big to be ignored from content providers and hard/software manufacturers and because there is no need for Trusted Computing with linux because it is allready secure enough:p
Windows 98SE is still the baseline gaming platform for Windows gaming
you got to be on crack or a time voyage
what about ati driver support for win98
as far as i know it took them a lot of time to release some drivers
and tell me about any new game that is not available for win2k/xp except maybe the sims
most games are even quite a bit faster on win2k and everything is more stable
but windows sucks anyway, so i started using linux
why should french people use a american keyboard layout
why should french people care if an american/or a german can go to their webpage??
if it is a english webpage it will not be using those characters!!! if not and you are able to read french it should be possible to figure out how to enter those fancy characters
try to read the articles next time!!!
they have a alternative way to enter the urls in ascii b(ue)cher.ch would look like xn--bcher-kva.ch with ascii
why are you against globalisation of the web
maybe all the english speakers could start to use all those fancy stuff again they lost in their languages
Business has absolutely zero to do with such small quibbles on whether or not we geeks have choice and everything to do with what is a good business decision
yeah, I know!!! Business decision have more to do with a manager that finds a logo nice, what his mates do run at their work, how colourful the presentation is, if it has been created with extreme programing a OO language and I allmost forgot the most important point if the seller is in the same sports club!!!
i think this code leak, how ever it happened, gives them a good excuse for not releasing hl2(maybe they needed a good argument for not releasing hl2 yet for their managers) or they have some OSS zealot there which leaked it:p(they say it has been a virus but who knows)
and in longer term they when they don't fix cheats they can always say "We can't fix it because they have the source code!"
i think those aren't really problems
but the car and oil industry don't see the need to push electric cars yet
i think they buy/make a lot of inventions in this range but hold it back for later when there is no more fuel
Slashdot Mirror
they don't call it a "new" product
just a faster one
where is the difference between a P4 2.6 and a P4 2.8 except the speed it runs at???
you are just right about the linux support
q3 runs ~160 fps on my 9700 Pro
and ~250 on my 5900

SUSE 9.0 is a linux based windows
it is allmost as buggie as windows and almost as easy to use
just like in switzerland =))))
i would not like to work in such cubes, cubicles or what ever you call 'em. with or without decoration they are just shit.

anyone knows about linux drivers???
will they try to enforce this or do they just try to get as many patents as possible to secure their own inventions???
one additional newspost about MS this weekend and i start to think Gates is a undercover newsposter at slashdot =((

this only works with Swiss German
because there are no spelling rules at all
but Standart German is as bad as English with spelling and accent
