I actually do (but then I'm primarally a Mac user.) However, it seems I end up getting the news later than others I know. I would think that exploits like this would be put up ASAP. Is there something about way/. puts up stories that seems to put them behind the curb? Is the submission process inherently slow?
Does it work
as well out-of-the-box whether you're a Mac or Windows user? The short
answer is yes. The long answer is that Windows users will sometimes
have to go through a few extra steps to achieve the same result as
someone using Mac OS X.
Whew! Good thing he gave us the short answer before we had to plow through the long answer!
I thought that one of the big attractions of India et al. is that they're on the other side of the planet, so they can effectively extend the work day overnight. Are there going to be a bunch of third shift programming positions opening in Toronto?
Damn, mods have been particularly humourless lately. That or they're particularly sensitive about their overweight parents.
Obviously I'll have to post this and soak up some mod points before they do some real damage...
Seriously, this is old news. I have a general-interest computer book from 1971 that has a page or so on Zuse and his Z3.
So, the question is: what brought this up? Why did the Register feel the need to suddenly revisit this topic? Is it an anniversary or something? There's nothing in the article to indicate anything like that.
I would then train someone within the organization on how to setup,
modify, and maintain the accounts (unless that is going to be you.).
That's key--I would make it a condition of the donation, unless you want to spend a lot more time re-jiggering that computer later. I can guarantee that even if they know what they want to do with it now, they'll come up with something different/additional within a month.
If you're
going to boycott LinuxToday, you're also going to need to boycott the
OSDN which runs many of the same ads.
Hmmm. Has/. has signed on to the boycott? Notice that there's no link to the 'offending' site? (Remember, a couple days or so ago, a/. story helpfully provided a link to slashdot.org.)
(for plaintext, this book leans
understandably toward vi over emacs, but where are pine or joe?),
Pine? I think the reviewer means Pico. It's great, but not included on some distros, which is probably why it wasn't covered. I agree it should have been mentioned, though, especially since it's pretty much self-explanatory. (Joe is too, but the Ctrl-key combinations strike me as odd.)
I predict that in 30 years, what is and isn't a computer will be hard
to distinguish.
Conversely, movies and other linear entertainment will be utterly recognizeable. There will always be a place for good stories, and it's very hard to 'write' a good story on the fly and interactively. It starts to look too much like the tangled yarn that is life.
Wouldn't such tactic actually drive customers away?
Not if they were only customers for the VoIP service--then they wouldn't care what the hardware requirements were. Look at cell phones: you can only get certain ones for certain networks, and most people don't much care so long as they work.

The movie trailer doesn't reveal anything, but looks cool.
Reveal anything? Taco hasn't read the books? Or is this a different story?
I certainly feel ashamed for RESPONDING to it.
Don't feel ashamed--how are they going to know not to post lame pap unless the community provides feedback?
Do meta-moderate, though. There's some very unfair modding going on in these comments (along with some very good modding.)
This is supposed to be a government of the people, for the people, but is now controlled by the corporations...
Well, legally a corporation IS a person, so that still holds...
Seriously, the problem isn't so much about corporations as it is about money. Bill Gates has way more influence than the corporation I work for.
Of course, influence runs both ways: IIRC, Gates wasn't giving money to the political parties until the anti-trust suit shook loose that money tree.

For a free car.
Actually, it's a $699 lease.
Are these Cinema Displays essentially a dual-monitor-in-one setup (from the computer's POV, that is.)
(YFI, BTW)

The top speed and hour records for faired HPV's are 81 mph and 52 miles in an hour respectively.
What are the top speeds for faired uprights? Or, what are the top speeds for unfaired (fairless?) recumbients? Let's compare apples and apples, here.
On top of that, people are working longer hours, and IMO getting less work done.
That's because they're posting on /. during working hours.
Oh, well that explains the rest of the comments on this page... I better fix that:
</TINFOILHAT>
my next call is to Diebold to finally tell them who I want to win...
<TINFOILHAT>And what OS do Diebold machines run? He may not even have to make that call--just release an update on, say, November 1st...<TINFOILHAT>
Another toy that I can't afford!
Why would you want a blurry recorder? (Note to self: apply to Panasonic's marketing department. They're bound to have an opening soon.)
Not sure about the firewall, but that LinuxGazette server is sounding like *crash*.

Hey Mod! Yeah, you! Your Dad's fat too!
I'm sure you mean "Wittenberg."
Nah, I'm sure he meant "Wolfenstein."

What happened to the so called slashdot omelette today? There's been already 3 mac related stories!
It's an Apple Omlette.
Mmmmmmmm. Aaaaapples.

Better off teaching them to fish.

Simple, a badly maintained car can cause death. A badly maintained Xbox will cost you $99
It probably has more to do with the number of Congressmen who own a car versus the number who own an XBox.
