Let me first state: I am not a Star Wars specialist.
I think the reason for the quick destruction of the empire is that so many soldiers and high-ranking officers were on the Death Star, that the empire basically "lost its head".
BTW, do you think after WW2 there were any Nazis left in Germany? They just quickly hid their uniform and stated they had always been against the empire...
With some of these VoIP agreements, you let them not only track your calls, but monitor them.
I would still think they would only monitor calls if the caller is a criminal or suspicious (or terrorist, as they're called now -- but maybe being a democrat is nowadays enough to qualify as potential terrorist).
But don't they know the TCO of Windows is much lower than Linux' TCO? The customers don't want Linux. And it's unsafe. Only hippies would use it. Dammit.

Secret Service can't afford a web designer? "GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0"
I consider the design of this website also a crime. I'll send in Homeland Security. They seem to have nothing to do now, anyway (see previous story on slashdot).
I never gotta the bottom of whether it's./ or FF fault. Anyone know?
How dare you. It's never Mozilla's, FF's or slashdot's fault. Stick to the usual suspects, please:
Microsoft
George Lucas
patent attorneys
SCO
So if you run Windows, it must be Microsoft's fault, if you run Linux, it's SCO's fault (the code I borrowed from them is incredibly buggy).
If you use BSD, it's because BSD is dying.
If you use Max OS X, either George Lucas' ruined it or some patent attorney is to blame (I'm not sure on the last one).
Respect of your, umm, girlfriend?
I looked this one up.
As I realize most readers will be confused, too, I provide the link to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlfriend
Seems to be a kind of a buddy, but more female. Strange idea.
What are developers going to do ? Randomly decrease the screen brightness or turn off the screen for a couple seconds at a time ? Half the processor speed ?
Minimize access to the DVD-ROM. Spin down the drive.
So if I find a country that has very lax copyright laws or none at all, can I make there a ftp-server? Upload games, movies, music and, ok, texts (like Project Gutenberg)... free for everybody to download?
There must be countries like this, no? Maybe some small island...
I would still go with the PowerMac because it's upgradeable.
In one year, I will want a new video card. In 1 1/2 years a second hard disk, one year later a third.
Maybe, in a few years, processor upgrade cards become available.
My current Mac used to be a Powermac G4 running at 400Mhz, a 20 gig HD and a really slow ATI video card.
Now it's a Dual-1Ghz (Powerlogix), 1.5 GB RAM, 3 Harddisks and a ATI Radeon 8500 (I also need video-out for watching films o the TV). Considering I bought the system more than four years ago, it still runs new games pretty well.
Their base of operations is their parents' basements. Their rations consist entirely of pizza and Bawls.
Whoa. Don't insult your fellow Slashdotters. It's perfectly normal for a 30-year-old to live in his parents' basement. And pizza makes a fine meal -- how else could I have grown to be so, uhm, big and strong?

Nintendo is dying!
Yes, but does it run BSD?
I hope Nintendo's apologies don't come too late.
You know, these emotionally labile personalities (suicide girls) take these things to heart...
Don't do it! Life is so beautiful!
the thing is
Maybe Dell should move their servers from Windows 2000 (according to netcraft) to Linux, too...
But don't they know the TCO of Windows is much lower than Linux' TCO?

The respect of your girlfriend?

Tell them: "If we migrate your desktop to Linux, don't worry, we will also include a game of Solitaire."

I see no moral problem
Considering they were children, I find this comment really cynical.
Does the idea of putting artifical intelligence into a killing machine make anyone else a little nervous?
Are these unmanned drones used in Israel AI-driven?
The article says, the drone killed two 14- and 15-year-old children.
Does anybody know about these?
Of course, the Earth Sumulator wasn't built (just) to run linpack.
I think most super computers weren't built just to run benchmark tests.
Well, at least I hope.

Look up "irony" in your dictionary.
I say that's enough. As soon as
You're always welcome, Jong-Il.
Guess you're kinda right, but it's not US does similar things, it's US DO SIMILIAR THINGS, you illiterate.
That's right, Jong-Il. I didn't want to underestimate your team.
Are you still posting as Anonymous Coward? Still can't remember your password?
