It looks like the HD DVD has long been replaced by newer technology by the time Microsoft gets Longhorn out! They even cannot get the XP SP2 ready.

"The RC2 code that was made available Monday had been promised for release in mid-May, but the date shifted after Microsoft confirmed last month that the final release of Windows XP2 had slipped until the third quarter. The beta was first released in December and RC1 appeared in March. The Windows update was originally scheduled to ship during the first half of 2004."
The texts describing each winner seem to be copied directly from the advertizing material. Take this clip as an example: Power Mac G5..."(making the G5 run three times quieter than previous Power Macs)."
What does it really mean ? Let's say that the previous Mac were running at (wild guess) 35 dB. What is the sound level of the new one ? 35 / 5 = 7 dB ? NO!
You didn't bother to read the story... "The chips will be put onto kids' schoolbags, name tags or clothing in one Wakayama prefecture school" They are in no way implanted under skin. Put the tag in a metal box or even wrap in up in tin foil and your privacy in ok.
Hey, the tags are not implanted under skin. Pls don't exaggerate. Any child wishing for more privacy may put the tag in a metal box, or even wrap in tin foil.
I'm personally fed up with PC Magazine's Microsoft plaudits. Only Dvorak writes sometimes MS critics but the rest of the editorial staff is Windows fans.
This ain't nearly enough. I need to compile the whole system from source before I can trust that there are no hidden hooks ! I even cannot see what is the point of showing just parts of code.
It is an innovation, but definately not made by Nokia. One example we all know is a messaging clock in thinkgeek http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/li ghts/59ac/z oom/
Sure XP is better than 98SE. Yet the 98SE has been good enouhgh for the kids' games for several years. I would not want to buy XP's to them only because we cannot get the security fixes.
Does this guy know how much energy that goes into mining the Uranium? (Clue: Quite alot) I completely disagree. All the costs from purchasing the mining area to the final positioning of the waste have been calculated already into the nuclear energy price ! Who do you think that has paid all that if not the energy users ?
Com'on join in ! You can join and start to maintain Windows port on any of those Open Source softwares !
The original developers probably use open source systems (Linux/...BSD) and they develop the system starting their own needs. Yet they give anyone opportunity to port the software to other systems if someone is willing todo it.
In a market of stedily dropping prices it's wise * not to buy before you needit and
* not to buy better HW than you need. You get more bang for less money when you buy often and sell your old HW. Of cource WinXP lisence policy tries to hinder this method...

When the original pixels are few nothing can make it a good picture later on. The best camera/phone is the one with most pixels.
It it's clear that MS has no obligation to support stolen software. If you steal property you should be ready for some kind of problems.
Yet I see that the point is that MS is making a mistake in not giving security fixes to everyone.
Here's why: There will be millions of pirated XP's also in future. They will have trouble in fixing their system. During that period they are harming the network experience of all of us. And they do have a significant effect, because of their huge amount. Finally they find a solution from firewalls or installing other OS's, such as Linux or OS/X !
If 50% of worlds PC's carry pirated XP and 10 % of those will end up in moving to Linux, we will have quite a boost for Linux ! I don't mind that..
Isn't the/. story exaggerating again ?
The quotation says:
"have developed a DNA computer which can automatically detect and treat prostate cancer..."
And the real story says: "have come a step closer to creating a minuscule DNA computer that may one day be able to spot diseases like cancer..."
And later on There are many, many hurdles. It could take decades.
MySQL, even now, is actually rather sparse as database engines go: it lacks stored procedures, triggers, constraints, etc., in short many of the things that a serious DBA considers necessary in a database engine.
And that is intentional. In an interview they said their aim is to fill the needs of the majority and do it well. Avoiding (/postponing) all the bell and whistles helps to keep things simple.
Wow, how far Linux has come. It started as "Linux is Not Unix" and now SUN says that "Yes: Linux is a Unix flavor."
Other notices of the Gosling's text:
He calls GPL viral, just as Ballmer did !
"Unlike GPLd software, the Java sources don't come with a viral infection clause that requires you to apply the GPL to your own code."
He is attacking RMS and Open Source. Talk about developers getting back "the energy" is not more than praise of proprietary software.
"Developers put a huge amount of energy into creating software, and if they can't get that energy back in a way that balances, then the system falls apart."
When a sales person tells you not to worry it's time to raise an alarm. Gosling says:
"Relax. Have a little faith."
I can not believe this man. His company received 2 b$ and that amount of cash can make even honest people to lie.
There seems to nothing new here. Groklaw: UPDATE: I have been reading the document itself now, and there isn't anything new on the GPL front. They asked for a declaratory judgment regarding the GPL in their earlier counterclaims. IBM is challenging SCO's copyrights. That seems to mean that they are defining this as a true copyright fight, not a contract dispute, something SCO has avoided so far. SCO will have to prove they own these copyrights now, no matter what the judge rules on SCO's Motion to Remand in the Novell matter. And they will have to show the code they claim is infringing and prove they hold copyright ownership of that code and that the copyrights they hold relate to the allegedly infringing code. Considering that they have publicly admitted that they don't own the copyrights to the allegedly infringing code, it will be interesting to see how they answer this. (emphasis added)
I have to say that I'm glad of this. It gives me comfort to know that I'm not subject to the arbitrary rule of a body that one,....
So you say that if you rob a bank in Montreal and succeed to escape back to the US you could not be prosecuted of anything ? Or you could drop your toxic waste to the ocean if sailing on international waters? And finally if you were an US soldier committing civilian killings in My Lai ?

Thank You for your support. When I first read about thist satellite they really spoke about sparsely populated areas.
"It is aimed to give internet access in sparsely populated areas". It must mean Whole North America..

It also says "street" and not "road".
What an error....

Anyone knows if Debian packages exist already ?
If Helix is 100 % free it should find its way to the official Debian servers soon.

He should remember, that the Iraq forces may also use Linux. It is a tool that may be used by anyone and for any purpose.
Hey, Clay ! I've hear that US Army uses Windows also ! You better not to touch it.
Do You use Leatherman knives ?! Let's ban it!
Oh my, Us Army soldiers eat white bread with tea ! I will never do that again..
