Since printing them out is the question here, there are two possible solutions: Send the print job to your high-speed/high-capacity copier, or go to Kinko's and do the same. Results in nifty geek-friendly 3 ring binders! Most of my home library of docs where made in this way!
I know, all the anti "dead tree" folks are going to come out of the woodwork, but MANY people still prefer to have a tech manual open next to them when they work, rather than flipping back and forth to some electronic document, searching for some information. For many people, the mind can often search, cross-reference, and make sense of data in hard copy MUCH faster than cumbersome electronic documentation.
I'm not always happy with the quality of the components of the "all-in-one" boards. I usually end up with third part LAN and sound, or RAID if I'm using it. Why pay for it if you don't need it? I'd MUCH rather pay for better quality cans and such.
Listen, you heretic, your day of reckoning will come. Don't you know thou art a subject of the divine, created in the image of The Google, by The Google, for The Google? Let us be thankful we have Google. Google more. Google more now. Google. And be happy. Remember, you have nowhere to go. Google is here to protect you.
Lebowski is full of shit. His remarks clearly show he has not been there. Both those who have been there, and news reports from reporters who have been there, tell a different story.
It has a lot to do with US law when he was apprehended and held in custody by US agents. Does it also have nothing to do with US law that we allow the CIA to send prisoners to Uzbekistan where they are often boiled to death?
Well, the PDF format is not proprietary. What I do with book PDFs like this is print 'em out on the monster copy machine at work, and put 'em in a ring binder! Tech books and ring binders: a combination made in heaven...
Yes, yes, yes... But who is going to fund all this discovery? If it's "the public", than of course "the public" should be able to access it (although I don't think most of us could make much use of it), but if on the other hand it is some private concern that is doing the research, than they have every right to obtain value from their investment. That they are being put into the public domain is a great thing for Celera to do. If they want something out of it, I see no problem with that, I'm sure they spent a lot of $$$ to do the work.
So tell me: Do you walk in the snow up hill for a week with no shoes over sharp rocks to use your computer that was packed in by mule and is run by a battery charged by a hand crank, too?
I cannot buy a new PC of any kind for less than USD 1000. (That's about 6 times the legal monthly minimum wage.)
Jesus. What kind of box are you trying to buy? $1000 US? Maybe you should set your sights a little lower and realize that not everyone needs a game box.
What are you talking about? I can get a P3 with a decent hard drive right here in the USA _right_fucking_now_ for damn near $100. If you are suggesting that a P3 is not a "real" computer, and that no one could possibly make use of one, than you are a snob.
However, having been to certain parts of Guatemala (admittedly, the more inhabited parts), I can tell you that an adequate P3 box with monitor will in fact cost you around $100. Sure you can't play the latest video games, but you know? So what, it's a REAL computer, not some bull shit thin client or glorified PDA.
I have never understood the idea that "third world" people want, need, or have to settle for "miraculous" $100 computers or thin clients. The truth is that in "third world" countries, bare bones PCs that run your choice of Windows or Linux simply don't cost a hell of a lot more than $100, and often less. It's all about what the market will bare. This thin client bull shit is just more of the same non-solution looking for a non-problem. People in "third world" countries that want computers have them, and those that don't know that they "need" them can get REAL computers cheap. And, thin client or not, it matters little if there is nothing to connect them together. You know, like phone lines, fiber, dish, wireless? Think about infrastructure, than give them REAL computers.
Nonsense. SCO is not a marketing company, they have no product. SCO is an IP litigation company. Also, clearly you do not follow SCOX, they may have once had "deep pockets" but that is no longer the case. Keep in mind that the objective is not to own Unix or Linux or anything else, the objective is for Darl and friends to suck SCO dry and hit the golden silk. Darl and his boys quite correctly guessed that Unix is dieing, and there is no money in selling Linux. So, they decided to cash out.
Exactly. And of course the SlashSnot crowd is totally hypocritical on this because they are too blinded by anger at the big bad Microsoft to realize that this is just another obnoxious software patent. The "my enemy's enemies are my friend" is typical selfish crap that devalues clear thinking.
The cost sounds pretty reasonable for a corporate installation, and I think it's safe to assume that with a subscription, you get the software updates and patches as part of the deal. For the type of business that will buy this thing, these numbers just are not that bad. HP products are not "free as in beer".
If you knew anything about Mandelson's political history you might think this incident deserves a little investigation. Any search for him at the BBC's news site should turn up some useful information.
Had you actually done the search and found any solid leads, your post would have actually been "insightful". As it is, your moderation is simply more Slashdot masturbation.

Yeh, they have a bot that trolls Google News. Well know fact that the only "real" editor (well, I mean human) is Timothy.
How about capacitors that don't leak, eh?
How about a bare bones board that cost around $100 - 200, but comes with TOP QUALITY components?

Isn't that Slashdot policy? I mean, what with Roland and all? If /. history is any indication, get set to hear a lot more from this boy!

Him or his holding company, what's the difference?
Who the hell keeps their old trade mags under the floor boards? Isn't that where the porn goes?
Hogwash. He is still the second largest shareholder.
