I use windows and I get 1 or 2 spam per week. It's called "being smart with your email addresses". I'm not sure what is wrong with you people who get overloaded. Open Source in any form won't protect you if you aren't careful with your email addresses.
why did this get modded down? This makes sense, since that's the usefulness of multicast. In a related idea, how do you think you can image 100+ computers with a 15 GB disc image, over a 100 mbit network which is usually at least 20% in use, all by an old server with one hard drive sitting in a closet, all in about an hour and a half? It's called multicasting, and that's how you would do it. It would be similar to how regular radio works. One source broadcasts, while many clients simply receive the packets if they're tuned in.
Though I guess google isn't evil, so I don't see them doing it. And yes, this is mostly a joke, but it is something that is likely somewhat unique in a lot of ways. And stating the obvious here, google, seems to do a lot of things right, and it shows. I think google deserves to be paid royalties for people which follow their practices. Although I somewhat doubt that many, if any, others would be capable of successfully following suit.
Likely to be marked as a troll, but that's just the way the mod system works...
Since when was a cell phone not a computer? Consoles were supposed to replace the PC as the gaming platform...has it happened yet? There will always be a place for a modular consumer PC. This is PC marketing for you...telling us what we need, cause we're just too stupid to figure it out for ourselves.
If any mod out there saw "I guess the only thing better than crashing 1 computer at a time is crashing an entire room full at once." in a post, it would get marked as a Troll or Flamebait. However, when it gets posted in an article, it's humourous. I think too many mods go on powertrips these days, and just can't take a bit of humour. My karma is terrible because all the lousy mods out there mark a humourous comment as a Troll.
Mods, remember the guidelines! Try to be positive! Don't go on powertrips and using all your points to mod people down. If you don't feel like modding someone up, just don't mod them. You're destroying the community! There's too much negativity here!
I believe that's called the Microsoft section.
But seriously though, he makes a simple, but good point. The legal issues surrounding the developing technical world aren't being taken seriously enough. Todays engineers in training are simply being shown methods of doing things without understanding how they may be infringing on IP law. In class I've taken over the past couple of months, there were people there saying that "they're engineers, why the hell should I care what my product does? I just get paid to do something." Did Intel credit any sort of source material? With a lot of open source code for example, people don't care if you use it, though they do like to get credit for it. Engineering is a cut-through field, but that doesn't mean we can't extend the olive branch every now and then to help each other out.
A legal section on/. dealing with issues of patent infringement or more generally, IP law, should draw more attention to a growing issue that will not disappear overnight.
Do you really think they would give 1 TB of IMAP storage? or even 1 GB? I can't see this being provide by anything other than webmail, or some proprietary interface.

I really don't think that the "no flash" downside can really be remidied. Someone who has a cellphone will likely want good battery life. The minute you start charging a decent flash, your battery will be dead. Cell's are efficient users of energy right now, and it'll be pretty much impossible to get an efficient flash. It won't be practical.
Automatic updates may not be plausible...but SUS is! It's designed for the very reason of testing before deployment. No corporation that uses windows should be without SUS and group policy. It gives complete and utter control of updates to the admins, and therefore renders them responsible for all issues, and not the users.
I'm not sure increasing the pay will help attract the good individuals. That'd be like hiring a student for a summer job and saying, "I'm offering $200/hr so that I get the best student for the position."
I'm not sure that Family Guy and Futurama are in the same class as The Simpsons. The Simpsons developed to be much more of a well rounded sitcom. Family Guy had it's funny moments only because it was crude. Futurama is funny because it makes fun of human nature. The Simpsons really is a unique show in its own class.
You could broadcast anything in HDTV an say it's HDTV, but that's just like saying "I'm going to sample this audio file sampled at 44.1 khz and sample it at 10 MHz, and say that it's better quality than the 44.1 khz file. It has to be HDTV from beginning to end (which I very highly doubt with the exception of a select few such as Discovery Channel and such). We're getting hosed...
The amount of heat that a small microphone and speaker generate would be small enough that it would likely be transmitted through whatever the mounting system was made of, into the heatsink itself, and thereby take care of itselt. The heat increase would be negligible.

Hm, you seem to be a linux zealot, and have probably never used a windos server. The Domain Controllers ARE the AD servers.

Something tells me that someone who can't post a link properly to /. might not be "Earth inheriting geek" material...
I believe that is extended support if any support at all. That means it'll cost you an arm and a leg for help.
Where's the 1394b port??

depending on the numbers used, windows is inherently more secure than windows.
43% of statistics are made up on the spot. Only 3 out of 10 numers you see are actually collected from a well designed study.

But what about just R media? I would imagine that RW media is much more finicky than R media just the same as it was/is with CD-RW
C:\APOLOGIZE.
That seems to indicate that it runs on MS-DOS or Windows...that might be the problem right there...
