I never want to hear about Betamax vs. VCR again, especially from "tech" or "nerd" people it is getting old move on the Netscape vs. IE or something like that ok...
Stupid story, who cares, if you find something in life you enjoy that doesn't hurt other people I say more power to you. It is only the bitter dystopians that I have a problem with. Enjoy games, LAN parties, pen and paper RPGs, whatever I don't see why it is less valid than having fun going to see tall men throw a round ball in a hoop...
If you could find out the MHz of the CPU you just bought my AMD keeps saying it is a 1700+ but it is hard to tell what that equalls in MHz, still a fine rig when matched with an original nForce mobo... Drop the ratings screed AMD it will be ok...
So the main problem with open source software is it is hard to figure out who to have a law suit against? Sounds like a problem for lawyers not open source.
Linux trys to run on a variety of motherboards, with serveral different CPUs, it is real-time, embedded, it is a real OS. A real OS should try to have drivers for as much hardware as possible. Some may say we are only talking desktop here, well my desktop is hooked up to a dance, dance, revolution game pad, a Rio 500 MP3 player, a joystick, an epson printer, a n50 nostromo speed pad. I run Windows, which I consider a real OS, because it like Linux tries to have drivers for all available hardware and has an open PC architecture. When OS X runs on a variety of platforms and has a better variety of drivers I will check it out...
SCO thought Linux was a great idea until nobody wanted the flavor they created. This is what will sink them anybody can see they are flapping in the wind here it is fodder for the bashers of Linux...

Number 25 uses Linux or am I reading the chart wrong? Also what happens when Serial ATA speeds go up?
David McNett has noticed an apparent discrepancy between the Red Hat Linux EULA and the GPL.
I would edit this to read:

"ruined kids' ability to hold a pencil properly" who gives a rats ass? How often do you have to write with a pencil in the real world? And shouldn't every one of those times have an electronic alternative been offered, such as a smart card with the same info I put on every form I have ever filled out from doctor's offices to credit applications?
At least are kids learn how to handle high-tech military equipment better than anybody else in the world, turns out that is more important than the pencil stuff...
Pen vs. Sword, I will take the sword any day...
Need sleep sorry for about rantings...
Tired...
Need to get jazzed on caffine and set up airport WAPs...
I don't know if the file format needs to be open, but one would think that a future version of a product should always be able to open past versions of documents for that product at a minimum.
That being said it seems like laws are being pushed because some don't think certain software models will win in the free market system. I do not like this use the power of the goverment to beat my biz opponents, I know it is done constantly I just like good old competition.

"Nvidia had declined becoming a member of Futuremark's beta" sound like an invitation, but doesn't cost to be in the Futuremark beta program? Try to be just a bit more accurate, eh?
"... nVidia is not currently a member of FutureMark's beta program...", which is how FutureMark makes $$$, or so I read in CPU magazine. So this may just be a move to try and push nVidia back into the beta program. I would be careful about trying to force companies into my benchmark beta program, not much is going to matter when DOOM III, Half-Life II, etc. comes out...
Digital Camera's are killing Kodak film sales, it would be like a razor that does need blades to Gillette or the Internet to the record companies, I guess there really was a revolution in the 90's. Times changes and some bizs will fade just like it always does, it is called creative destruction and it is part of capitalism. Ebay destroyes classified adds and no newspaper even national ones can figure out how to fight back, typerwriters are gone, etc. Very common situation, most of the time entertainment does well in a bad economy, look at video game and movie sales for a more accurate picture. DVDs and video games are a much better entertainment value than a basic CD, however a two disc set like the Matrix Reloaded sountrack is on the right track, it was the first CD I bought in a few years (I bought some internet CD from mp3.com) the thing that pushed me over the edge was the two disc set a better value...
Indeed I don't think people get it, I am going to be able to IM, play UT2003, go to nVidias nzone, and read news from slashdot to the drudge report. I don't care about who owns my broadband connection, if they get in my way or force me to go to certain sites, I will find another provider, the genie is out of the bottle and only freaked out BabyBoomer's that still think all wars are go down like Vietnam can't handle it...
thinks the sky is falling. Get over it, the Internet is only beginning we need to realize there is not a bandwidth glut and get to point where we can run large servers from there own homes this will bring out huge growth and de-centralization in the Internet. WiFi, code-morphing, VoIP, VR, Doom III, robots, kicking terrorist ass, tax cuts, the rocket is getting ready to launch again get on board...
Well when a child says no they are just requesting additional rule sets and boundry conditions, so you could just program a AI to say NO or refuse to do a task if it felt that its rule set was to fuzzy or if it was sleepy...
Don't know where they are but I do no they are on the run...
Now back to some rational arguments on DRM, my main point is don't get blinded by your political views. Support the policies that make sense. I am glad President Clinton cut capital gains on the sale of houses, why would a critize policy that makes sense. And hunting down these thug terrorist makes sense.
Well it could be your rock, but if I had to choose to go without your rock or without the current anti-terrorist plans of the US Military, Justice Dept., etc. I would have to choose your rock. It is rumored that Saddam as a similiar rock that makes him invulnerable (+30 PD/ED Armor Hardended x2 w/ 3d6 Luck)...

Guys you make a lot of us run screaming from open source / Linux / etc. with the whole FBI/CIA/ and other people working to protect me and my family are "evil" stuff. Also why do I have to buy into a whole liberal stuff to be all open source? Where are all the techno libertarians huh?
Give it a rest already, there are valid point to be raised about DRM with bashing Ashcroft who has done a great job preventing further terrorist attacks in the USA...
not the software industry. If you look at open source/power personal PC trends it is the high dollar software and hardware vendors that are in real trouble. It is interesting to note that most people here view MSFT = bad and Linux = good, but really both provided computing power to everybody at a much lower cost than some (Orcale, Sun, etc.) would like...

It could be that people are really used for their processing power, Neo's day job was writting code, it makes more sense than as a power source.
