they've added some value: wrote a script to pick up the first publically available exploit by mining their massive usenet feed. it's fair enough they should get some publicity of the "gee, these guys are switched on, they really know their usenet" type. props to them.
through price. take a look in the highstreet, the online retailers, etc etc. sheer market forces mean that for a given price point, you (broadly speaking) get PCs of a similar "level". why complicate matters unless you want to treat PCs as palladium/trusted computing media consoles?
it also give the state more powers. get busted for anything involving a computer? mail people who are on a state watch-list? when you get busted they'll check out your online activity and discover you once downloaded a film illegally and can you for that, as well. it's part of a creeping movement towards potentially criminalising everyone. you're not going to arrest everyone but you could arrest anyone.

you're connected to a network device like a switch or router at 10MBit/sec, but your external connectivity from your ISP is 40kbps.
At least on the crappy home machine I'm fixing for someone, where I've just snipped off a Fujitsu "Void if Removed" cable tie that was holding the case closed. Ugh.
big projects don't work like this. if you find a bug mid testing, then you don't throw the whole thing back at the vendor and chuck the baby out with the bathwater; you simply cannot organise big projects like this. you do risk analysis and if it's decided you can accept it with a constraint that you, say, boot it occasionally then you may be able to accept the system. if you have accepted it on this basis and don't do what you said you would when you signed the constraint off, it's your problem. yes, the vendor shouldn't sell buggy software, but *all* software has *some* bugs in it.
yes, they drift. not much, but a bit: this is why the system accepts a few numbers in the sequence. should it drift *too much* then you just need to phone their access control guys and get it put in "new pin mode" remotely. this happens all over the world, all the time. gps timing and tracking? lay off the crack.

i'd love to use this in the UK with SkyTV via satellite, but it'd have to be able to get EPG for sky and change the channels via IR. if it can do this, i'll build one next week!
i've got a load of spare kit lying around *but not much free time* (new baby!) so if anyone's done it already with sky and can suggest a howto (including handy stuff like what brands of IR dongles does myth like?) i'd be very grateful indeed.
Oh no, I use Tin Foil Hat Linux, running on a Big-Trak toy i found in my parents loft. Next month, we're planning to port it to either an ipod or an old HP graphing calculator: i've not decided which would give the business that "slashdot cool" i hear so much about. I'm open to suggestions from anonymous cowards about how best to run systems that directly affect patient health.
where i does it mention a single machine and no checks or balances? you wouldn't *believe* how many checks and balances there are. this is an FDA-compliant system: we use a custom network that's taken about 5 man-years of testing and implementation to implement. and yes, i run windows on it. before you linux zealots jump down my throat rest assured that i know more about data integrity, FDA compliance, systems testing and ER/ES compliance than you do and these are not connected to the net in any way, shape or form, and i have answers for any other criticisms anyone may with to make, along with approximately 40 feet of shelf space with the paper documentation to back this up.
i'm sure in ten minutes someone will be along to flame me for this, but big pharma + millions in design, build and testing + windows CAN equal a very very good and secure system, like it or not.
keep yourself nice.
i work in pharmaceutical research. my machines dose clinical trial volunteers, and record trial data, which then goes for clinical submission to create new drugs. of course faulty software can be lethal.
this could be because the OEMs don't want to pay soundstorm royalties for the use of the name: the hardware *might* be identical - this is what happened with nforce2, and is why some are badged "soundstorm" and some realtek: to get the former name applied they had to supply optical connectors (i think) and pay for the branding - same internal soundcard hardware though.
presumably to appear knowledgeable. Having built upwards of 150 AMD XP systems, tens of which were for professional audio use, you're talking out of your arse. Any nforce2 board's audio system is usable: whether soundstorm compliant or not, they're *all* good. 2% cpu usagle onboard sound for free: at very high quality indeed. what *exactly* are you insinuating? care to detail your *exact* problems? onboard sound is no longer a poor substitute for a second card: it's now great - and if the chipset bundles it then you *know* that it's been tested to within an inch of it's life and will be stable.
put up, or shut up.

unfortunately it's not quite that simple **points up**
much kudos to the accurate rendering of The Guide's boot up noises in ASCII!

they work him by remote control from an orbiting disney spacestation, do you know NOTHING?

do you wonder? oh good. whilst you're doing that, i'll get on with doing WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING rather than bitch about stuff on slashdot, shall i?

that is NOT a 3G phone. you can use if for GPRS, but that's analagous to dial up speeds, as opposed to 3G broadband cards

it's someone who's bought "premium support" off them. it's a package.
ghost works fine on OEM - is there a EULA restriction on imaging software for OEM XP licences?
