Why stop at Hi Speed verses Full Speed? Why not go back to AMD's Performance Ratings, or Intel's iComp value? Wouldn't that obfuscate things even better?
Linksys is at the top of the heap...there are plenty of companies that make better products
My Linksys 802.11b router does everything I need it to do, cheaply and reliably. What more can one ask for in a non-cricical home system?
focus more of quality rather than cost...after all, if they did, we wouldn't have to deal with Wal-Mart
Since Wal-Mart doesn't manufacture what it sells, uses their buying power to get lower prices on the same items, and doesn't force you to shop there, I don't understand your rant.
And this is important to get posted to Slashdot because...?
a) It's a nice break from SCO stupidity and bashing
b) It's a nice break from Microsoft stupidity and bashing
c) There was still a site in the world that hadn't been Slashdotted yet
d) None of the above
e) All of the above
PARC took a lot of these ideas from Douglas Englebart of Stanford Research Institute. Sad, but true. Xerox PARC was amazing, but Douglas Englebart was more so by an order of magnitude.
If PARC actually made them work, truely implemented them for the first time, then I'd say PARC is equally amazing.
Can I play Mount Doom on it afterwards? Please, pretty please?

I'd think cover-up. Whether incompetance, or actually what is alledged, I'd say I'm not getting the straight story.
And as I said before, I do know items were found that have not been explained yet.

It took them 56 years to say that nothing happened. Yeah, right.
Sorry, but we know people they threatened there at the time. And believe me, they did an excellent job of scaring the people there over what? A weather balloon? Pleeeeze.
And to those of you who claim it there is no secret because the government couldn't keep such a secret so long -- What Secret?!?! This has been leaking out all over the place for years. Think a little bit, folks.

I firmly believe that hemp prohibition is evil.
Evil and damaging. I'd rather be making paper from hemp than chopping down trees, and clothing from hemp rather than cotton (a product they grow on Arizona despite its needs for large amounts of water (relative to hemp) and the damage cotton does to the soil in only a few years (again relative to hemp)).
There is low and THC-free hemp usable for all purposes except getting high usable for these purposes.
What I firmly believe is that the government opposes hemp production only because they consider it would be too much trouble to have to check all the fields to ensure that somone isn't hiding high-THC hemp among the crop. For that, we have the Pot Heads to thank.

This is one of those genuinely good things to happen, if it plays out as good as it sounds now. Nice to see good news at the end of the week.
I wish we were as forward looking on legal products from hemp, which I would also consider a good thing.

Which means they are taking away the choice from every member not of that majority -- given even that the majority is unified on this single issue.

Duh! If it was representative of the desires of the population then additional regulation would not be necessary because nobody would be going to see it anyway.

Now you want me to prove a negative. Yeah...right! What I know for sure is that you don't know at all.
feel that your own point of view may have been a bit manipulated by a prevailing political perspective which was communicated along with all the other 'facts' given you in this story
Regarding facts, allow me to quote another/. poster on a previous story:
There are always four sides to every story: your side, their side, the truth, and what really happened.
you're currently claiming that a 64-bit version of MacOS X is a seperate operating system
What I have claimed is that unmodified OS-X will not run on a PPC 970 system, and that running a 32-bit OS gives up the benefits of a 64-bit chip.
as valid as saying that a 486 and a Pentium are "different hardware"
A more accurate comparison would be between an Intel Pentium 4 and an AMD Opteron. The Opteron is binary compatible at the application level with the P4, but again I don't think you can boot an unmodified 32-bit operating system on it. And even if you could, what would be the point since you'd lose the benefits of the 64-bit archtecture.
you Americans should be rejoicing that the Egyptian government, representative of its people, is protecting its populace from cultural dilution at the hands of an Imperialist Industry
Why would I rejoice when a government takes choice away from its people? And who says it's representative of its people? Certainly not me.
I feel people should be free to make their own choice of movie entertainment that they prefer. That is not a business for a government to be in.

The original poster's statement does not appear racist at all -- merely truthful.
The way you throw the racist word around so freely however makes me wonder much more about you.
If not, how can you promote it above all the lawsuit noise. Load Linux into it and every geek in the world will hear about you!
Be sure to set the evil bit on this post.

Microsoft tactics are:
1. Embrace
2. Extend
3. Extinguish
4. Profit!
Can someone direct one of these to SCO Headquarters?
I thought it was Jobs (hint, hint PARC) who built his business on other people's innovations.
Is this a clever way to distract people from your real karma?
