Sounds like there is a rise in alchoholism and depression in the U.K.
It could be affecting their schools, it doesn't take more than a few kids who are acting out home problems to make life difficult for enthusiast students...
Ok that was facetous.... but why are we trying to push them into areas they aren't interested in, as I've been a CIS major I've seen more and more female students.
Um let's see... They pay employees in stock... so if they pay them less as wages that money will be invested in the company and come out in the stock...
I don't think they pay them minimum anyway at least not here in Canada.
Starbucks is probably big enough to buy directly from Coffee growers if they are buying fair trade that is probably a 600% mark up or so... not something to be taken lightly.
And where I am they serve fair trade all the time, in fact they use fair trade decaff.
You remind me of a rich french merchant applauding Robspierre.
We want free information, we'll take the battles as they come.
And the least risky and seemingly most proffitable is music...
We know that more music will be produced once the industry falls in fact the quality will probably rise. Artists only get about 3-4% of a sale currently, and most of the rest is spent marketing music in various ways...
We're not being unrational or really acting unilaterally. We're trying something out... And if sharing works then I'll see if we can convince people to shoot non-sharing people...:P
Ah yes the people who profit from spyware... they'll solve the problem.
Oh wait...
In this case there is a lot to be gained by stopping spyware but not as a final solution (filling the holes, making it so it costs them bandwidth and you no time)...
Microsoft likes nice easy rollouts and they get them when people think their next OS will make their computer faster, the truth is their clogged with spyware so formatting will make them faster.
Windows 95 is the fastest MS OS... asside from compatibility there isn't a good reason to upgrade from a firewalled users perspective...
If I was an artist trying to make a bunch of money through marketting and shitty music I'd want me (real me) to do exactly what I'm doing to me (fake music me)...
Part of the thing is that for many music copiers it's not just free stuff it's a revolution.
You're close but the biggest element is that AMD liscences a lot of their tech while Intel develops it.
AMD is part of a consortium of chip manufacturers (with SUN and IBM) who cross liscence to each other, everything from instruction sets to hypertransport, to NRAM, to SOI.
Intel probably has about the same number of people developing tech but they are trying to do their development in a very corperate way - This is what we need let's do it.
As opposed to AMD who can be a lot closer to pure science because they just liscence any tech that seems cool or is proven.
When we see crazy stuff on slashdot like the four gigabit optical memory or the 2 Gigahz CPU AMD is probably looking into that stuff while Intel research is most likely pretending it doesn't exist.
Heavily distributed file tasks like bittorrent may run for lengthy periods of time and require low access times and constant writes.
I have a raid 0 and a huge problem for me is that when I bittorrent multiple files at once my hard drives grind away like crazy, some programs support variable levels of memory buffering but some don't.
Solid state storage means that writting one sector in 10 diffrent places isn't a problem for wear/tear or destroying access times.
Admittedly this example reflects most on poor coding practices but it is an example of how this technology will provide new avenues for research.
That it's the workers responsability and that they should have to hire the best person for the job... But why not hire someone who has a $70,000 server they bring from home... OH WAIT THAT'S INSANE!
Parent is right, for an admin the scariest thing you'll ever here is.
"I can't find the network drive"...
SCSI will seem a bit more expensive at first but that cost isn't just for the interface most of that cost is for the extra testing and hardware reliability you get with SCSI.
I am a pir8 and I back up everything important so I can run an SATA raid-0.
But you want something with modular controllers hotswappable raid arrays and reliability, hell if I was running a businnes off my home PC that would be something I would invest in.
Find a way to make do with less space on the netword and greater reliability, you will sleep A LOT easier.
Slashdot Mirror
When they do this overhaul I wonder what the new road system will look like.
You could probably fit A LOT of cars on the road and through intersections if you only had to mathematically ensure they didn't collide.
Offer a central server system?
For dynamic ip processing, application downloads, maybe even file storage. Central update and driver location.
You know everything microsoft.com does + everything free software can do = teh win!
There is a Korean player called GomPlayer which organizes all the codecs together and auto detects and installs new codecs...
Of course that would be too easy.
Like Microsoft will get away with having infringed on a patent for the entire lifespan of a SERIES of products....
Wow... way to hold out until it doesn't matter anymore.
I don't know if you like platformers but Kirby also uses only the stylus and is probably the best nth generation mario clone out there.
If you missed out on Mario due to a disibility you owe it to yourself to at least try it out!
I know this will likely blow your mind (And I'll get modded troll) but linux and OSX don't have antivirus suits right?
Maybe Microsoft has fixed everything or at least enough to be confidant that they could release a cpu guzzling program later only if needed.
Interestingly for some of us P2P nutters we find this method of getting movies easier and less painful.
I don't have to get up go out and buy the movie, I just read a review and click a link.
If they allow users to burn a copy to DVD this will improve the lives of the majority of their clients...
You should really consider giving it away to everyone.

To have more sex with nerds....
That's something everyone can enjoy!

You know you can still get charged for making death threats don't you?
Stating you plan to disrupt people's communications or monitor them in hopes of illiciting a response (Or even as a real plan!) is pretty dastardly.
Especially when it seems clear that a lot of the stuff that concerns them about the internet is speech they can't regulate...
You remind me of a rich french merchant applauding Robspierre.
:P

Not a bad idea, this would enforce the 2 term limit.
No more dictators in the white house...
This is actually a brilliant and cheap thing to distribute.
These things are made out of plastic and silicon some of the cheapest materials we have.
They are largely built by machinery and mass produced.
They are mainly based on old technology so they don't require a lot of research.
Basically these are some of the most useful and cheap things they can be distributing.
Only in America do they even pretend to guarantee free speech.
This censorship is basically of people who are advocating violent revolution.
This is debatably evil...
Hype for an event which is hyping some stuff that may or may not be released before the next E3...
This is just wacky fun!

Geosync above the ocean? Just stop the sun!
Simple, this whole global warming thing is alarmism, there is a solution and not a particularly difficult one.
Pollution is a much more pressing concern.

In Kindergarten they get kids to SHARE TOYS.
That means they don't have them anymore.
This is gonna be a long long battle.
