For those who remember how crazy the IPO prices were back in the dot come era, do you think google's IPO will be as crazy as, lets say, RedHat?
I can't even recall the last IPO I've heard about.
Multiregion DVDs in the U.S are becoming less powerful. Look at this for a verbose description.
In short...
Q: What is Regional Coding enhancement(RCE)?
A: It's a digital enhancement added to some Warner Bros and Columbia DVDs to stop region 1 (R1) DVDs from playing on Region-free DVD players
But the paranoia involving all motherboards in the future to require Windows is obsurd because that is the sort of thing the justice department would not allow Microsoft/Motherboard manufactorers to do.
Also, motherboards makers such as EPoX know there is lots of money to be made with overclockers. These are the same people who like to experiment with Linux, if not already using Linux. I don't think they would want to lose their market share.

I will definetly agree with you here.
For reasons involving online coupons and rebats, I have ended up with a lot of Microsoft hardware. A wireless mouse and keyboard, USB Speakers, a wireless router, and a USB wireless NIC. All the stuff works great, and works with Linux (kernel 2.4.22)(although the USB nic was a god damn bitch to get working). Its also nice to know that when a new version of Windows is released, the drivers will be included.
You will soon be seeing a line of xSeries certified for Red Hat Linux AS/ES/WS 3.0.
This is why ISPs are changing their SMTP rules?

I have been noticing a lot of my hosting customers are being restricted to using only their ISPs SMTP server to send e-mail. They will not be able to connect to their colocated/hosted e-mail servers to send e-mail.
I believe this is to prevent SOBIG and other types of works from sending out e-mail, but this is making my job quiet hard. I have to configure webmail for all these customers who would rather use Outlook.

Did you know that there is a 2% surcharge on all CD recorders sold that goes directly to the RIAA, and a 2% hidden tax associated with the AHRA that is collected by the RIAA to give to artists, yet only roughly 36% of that 2% goes to the artist. www.boycott-riaa.com
my newest requirement is to have the book in PDF format so I can simply search for keywords, saving time, and hassle.
having the PDF on a few different computers and storing the book away after skimming through it works better than having thousands and thousands of pages take up my precious 500 sq ft. apartment

Wouldn't it be ironic if a worm were to DDoS slashdot.
This leaves the americans with the opportunities to open liquor stores!
As I was told by an Indian man at a liquor store once as I was reading a magazine... "this is not a library, you either buy or get out".
I remember an episode on the simpsons where they would make fun of brands like:
Sorny
Panaphonic
Magnetbox
Yet nothing happened to fox.
I'm pretty sure they will not give a crap if you give your consent. The bill will be in your name anyways, so they won't even know a kid is using it.

But with the always evolving nature of the Internet, this would need to be updated every day.
so maybe in 10 to 15 years, when we might be able to actually have an experiment to prove/disprove string theory, voyager can help?
Why wouldn't a PDF/eBook be available that allows me to quickly search for a command or page number? I don't think the cost factor is to blame, is it?

If I have to pay $699 to run linux at home for fun, I'd rather buy Windows for half that.
