That's where they're going wrong. They pay out the ass for AP subscriptions, and don't actually add any value to what they print. A newspaper should, you know, provide news. Most of them don't do anything of the sort, everything is "soft" journalism and scare-mongering, and people are tired of it.
If the newspapers would create a product people want (a number blogs seem to be doing so, such as "The Straight Dope") they could easily support themselves via advertising. Hell, a paper that could get local readers could make a killing in advertising for local businesses. The problem is that the "new model" isn't what they're used to, so they keep doing things the same way. The guy with the pickup hauling hay will put the guy hauling hay with a horse and a cart out of business in no time.
Like people never have problems with Windows, either. Where does this myth come from? Do you think computer repair shops only employ the Maytag repairman? Computers break. Why is Linux held to some sort of impossibly high standard when compared to Windows?
Seconded. I believe there are even rules about how confusingly those things can be worded, some specific ways that they cannot deviate from when writing the contracts. If you can't figure out what's good and what's bad from that...
We fucking hate Europeans and their socialism and communism with a passion that they seem to have forgotten about
You seem to live in a very different America than I do. Everyone I can see here in the US wants jack and shit to do with the personal responsibility that comes with not being socialist. All the current lawsuits because the slide wasn't labeled as "slippery" and other such bullshit, people wanting to be on unemployment rather than actually working, welfare providing a wonderful work-free existence... we already ARE socialists. You must have blinked.
He's the one who has appointed all the RIAA goons to high office. Even if he may not know exactly what is going on, he would have to be a fucking moron to not have a clue as to what might happen when he did that.
An x1900 is still faster than anything Intel has out. It may be old, but if you want open-source graphics that go as fast as possible, that's your best option.
I'm sure he said that. I'm sure he thinks that. But nobody thought an iceberg was a threat to the Titanic, either.
Windows' biggest competition is NOT pirated Windows. It's OLD Windows. XP to be specific. It's good enough, and people don't want to pay to upgrade. Computers are reaching a point where they're all just about "good enough" for 90% of people. People just see little reason to upgrade any more. That is what is going to kill Microsoft. And the people who will spend money and tinker with machines are flocking to Linux in droves. It's a neat new toy that doesn't cost them anything now that Microsoft has locked out a lot of piracy. Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot by trying to stop piracy of their system.
New message is "Go ATI, it's working pretty well". Anything X1xxx and below is fully accelerated with free drivers, the HD2xxx and above are on pace for having free acceleration within a year. If you value open-source that is. Nvidia cards till perform very well with the closed source drivers, and are the de facto standard for OpenGL on Linux.
Most of the GPL people push for free drivers because if they don't, the drivers will break. And they can't fix them. The API is stable... write a closed source program to the API, and you shouldn't have to worry about going to the next version of Linux. The kernel ABI is NOT stable, and things change in it. A lot. And the freedom to keep doing that is why people don't like binary blobs in the kernel. If you get dependent on other companies providing necessary features in a closed fashion, you have lost your freedom to innovate and change things.
You are conflating two different things. Closed source applications are rarely railed against. Closed drivers are a completely different matter.
Snellius still discovered it independently. Besides... Ibn Sahl may have discovered it first, but nothing happened after that. It was the Europeans that finally applied it, building telescopes and so on. You can feel all racially superior if you want, but make sure you put it in perspective. Besides, you look at the Middle East now, and there's an active fight against science.
Depends entirely on the caching algorithm. It sounds like something is screwy though, because Office 2007 is swapping with 1GB of RAM. There is NO excuse for that.
That's not how it's done in the US as far as I know. Besides... are you sure that the majority of that wood isn't used for other purposes, such as furniture and other lumber?
...you do realize that "faster" is RARELY related directly to clock cycles, right? I mean, if it does 1 op per cycle, a 4.7GHz chip will be smoked by a, say, 2.3GHz chip that will do 64 ops per cycle. But hey... why let that reality shit get in the way of being a fanboy? I'll bet you still think that PowerPC Macs are faster.
Just because you say it doesn't make it so. I watched the new X-Men last night, and some idiot woman had about a 4 or 5 year old kid there. The only reason I can think of is because it's a comic book movie, that means it's for kids, right? PG-13... what do the ratings people know. It's a comic book!
Even 'regular' zombies swarming. You don't want to be close to that. Did you see Shaun of the Dead? That's what'll happen if you don't have guns. You'll be swarmed until the army runs over everyone.

Which means the newspaper can no longer survive on an AP subscription, they have to actually create some value. I don't see a problem with the system.

And they also create a TON of content that you can't find elsewhere. News Corp... not so much.
There's a point where features will make the difference. Where that is depends on what programs you want to use.

And Jinxy hates those meeses to pieces.
Good resume? You don't even have to have that. You just have to have the right school on your resume, and you're in. It's all about the connections.
That's the subject of a bit of debate, as far as laws are concerned.
Seconded. I believe there are even rules about how confusingly those things can be worded, some specific ways that they cannot deviate from when writing the contracts. If you can't figure out what's good and what's bad from that...

It still doesn't go to 11. Mine goes to 11.

Just like a Ferrari is still a car, hentai is still manga.

I call it an itchy spacebar and lazy proofreading ;)
