Summary: AMD wins every single result except the synthetic Sandra benchmarks, which Intel wins quite convincingly (all except one test). Something tells me there's something slightly wrong with that benchmark.
Guess what? You can open your source code without forsaking the IP! And did you know, you have to publish your IP to get a patent!
This is a null issue from an author who doesn't know what she's talking about. The Mass. issue isn't about Open Source or IP, it's about open standards and the freedom of information. We have CDs being able to be put into CD players no matter who the manufacturer of the CD or CD player is, why can't we have documents being able to be written or read by different document readers or writers no matter who the manufacturers of the readers and writers are?
I agree that it's a great feature, but they should have a message on the command line saying "Use this key combination to get back to the GUI: " for the inexperienced who accidentely stumbled across the key combinations.
Perth is actually a hoax perpertrated by the Australian Cricket Association. The Fremantle Doctor is actually created by a huge amount of fans next to a fictional WACA ground which is actually in Western Sydney - unfortunately they only have enough power to power those fans for a few hours each day.
The only thing about this site that annoys me more than the "same old junk" is that whenever there's a post on the front page that's even slightly on the same topic or story there's at least twenty people replying in the comments saying "It's a dupe!!!!" taking space away from people who might actually have something relevant to say.
*sigh* does *noone* read the article? I've already written this several times in several different threads. This isn't free publicity for Red Hat - they're helping funding the project! They've donated a couple of million dollars to this project: "Five companies -- Google Inc., Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Red Hat Inc., News Corp. and Brightstar Corp. -- have each provided $2 million to fund a nonprofit organization called One Laptop Per Child that was set up to oversee the project."
Not quite: "Five companies -- Google Inc., Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Red Hat Inc., News Corp. and Brightstar Corp. -- have each provided $2 million to fund a nonprofit organization called One Laptop Per Child that was set up to oversee the project."
As I said in another post though this is a low powered low resource computer (a third of the power of the Mac Mini) designed to be powered by a hand generator, and OS-X isn't exactly renouned for being great for extremely low powered computers. This is a simple PR stunt by Steve Jobs, nothing else.
Red Hat, however, doesn't take an overwhelming amount of system resources, which I presume is ever so slightly important for something that's supposed to be able to be powered by a hand powered generator. Besides, Red Hat is also donating a couple of million to this project, something which Steve Jobs doesn't seem to be doing.
I heard that the newest terrorist videos will have naked women digitally superimposed next to the speaker to combat the analysis techniques of the international police.
Well the most notable clipboard bug under Linux is when in KDE you accidentely middle click. The problem with just removing this though is it's sometimes damned useful to middle click (for example when trying to go to an unlinked URL you can just double click to highlight and middle click to go to that URL), it's just annoying when you do it accidentely. They should have an option to disable middle click if you'd like.
For our first programming assignment at university we had to write a program that translated numbers into words in different languages: English, Japanese, French and Welsh. Believe me, French is extremely simple and clear cut compared to the Welsh.
Um did you actually read the link you posted? That story is talking about a group of US scientists wanting to eliminate leap seconds and replace them with leap hours that are extremely far apart. This issue is just wanting to standardise the delay between leap seconds.
Probably not. However you're forgetting how big a company Sony is. Just think of IBM - on one hand they are fighting against Microsoft through Linux and their servers and services, but on the other hand they are manufacturing chips for Microsoft's brand new console. They're all companies, not a single person. It's not personal, it's business. Noone involved in the rootkitting is also involved in this Linux alliance.
The suit also alleges that Sony's actions violate the California Unfair Competition law, which allows public prosecutors and private citizens to file lawsuits to protect businesses and consumers from unfair business practices.
It doesn't complain that Sony prevents people from sueing, they are just sueing under a law that prevents unfair business practices.
I'm really sorry about this mate. I *did* read all of the comments but I completely missed your retraction comment the first time around. Only *after* I submitted the news article did I see the other comment you made saying you can't reproduce it, and I couldn't figure out any way of modifying the news post. I just totally knew that the editors would pick my submission as soon as I saw the other comment.

Ahem
As an Australian I don't mind being rooted one bit.
Perth is actually a hoax perpertrated by the Australian Cricket Association. The Fremantle Doctor is actually created by a huge amount of fans next to a fictional WACA ground which is actually in Western Sydney - unfortunately they only have enough power to power those fans for a few hours each day.
I knew that Australia is part of the US now.

You've forgotten the exception catcher.

I think you might have misread the summary.
The suit also alleges that Sony's actions violate the California Unfair Competition law, which allows public prosecutors and private citizens to file lawsuits to protect businesses and consumers from unfair business practices.
It doesn't complain that Sony prevents people from sueing, they are just sueing under a law that prevents unfair business practices.
Sorry but I was wrong. They do own the trademark. (They don't own the trademark in America a la Lindows decision but they do own it in Australia).
It seems they do have Windows trademarked.
They didn't own the trademark. They pretended they did. (They own the trademark for "Microsoft Windows" not "Windows")
Don't you think anyone smart enough to be able to decode ROT13 would be smart enough to get that joke?
mod them down. He was posting all over the thread and I thought I'd do my bit so I modded 5 of his posts down.
