You are right - details would be nice. By the time there are actual details on the case, Slashdot will have long lost interest
The code I referenced does not define "authorized" so the common definition would be the one used by a (hypothetical at this point) court. Since the network owner did not authorize his access, he was not authorized.
Something is wrong with your Dell. Three hours is about right for a D600 with a single standard battery. Dual extended batteries and careful use will get into the nine hour range.
This is exactly why you need AV software on the server side. My office has a Novell server and we run AV software on it. This doesn't protect the server from anything, but it keeps our Windows clients out of trouble.
The article is about a particular part of this open process - allowing developers free access to an OpenPower 710 server.
Have you looked at these things? The price is hard to beat for the performance.
By the way - IBM does sell AIX 5.3 for POWER, just not for the "OpenPower" series of servers.
Why wouldn't Dell sell a multi-button mouse with their OSX machine (making the big leap in assuming that such a thing were ever made)? Even Apple will sell you one if you ask nice.
Distributing the motors out to the wheels would have advantages in a street car as well. An example is the elimination of all of the driveline components and their associated weight and friction losses.
This isn't done with current cars because the motors are too heavy. Since this new motor design is small and very light, they can be hub-mounted and directly drive each wheel.
Paker Brothers recognized that the games were closely related, so they bought not only "Monopoly" (from Darrow) but also "The Landlord Game" and "Finance" (from Phillips).
Robert X. Cringely doesn't really exist. He is a fictional character who writes a column for InfoWorld (published by IDG) and an equally fictional character who does columns for PBS.
Mark C. Stephens, who made the predictions, is one of serveral former writers of the "Notes from the Field" Cringley column in InfoWorld. When Stephens went to work for PBS, IDG fired him and then sued for trademark infringement on the Cringely name. The case never made it to court. In the out-of-court settlement, Mr. Stephens was allowed to continue to use the name professionally as long as he doesn't use it in computer publications. IDG kept the Cringely column and had to pay Stephens' legal costs. I guess PBS doesn't count as a computer publication.
I agree with your view on the short term thinking of businesses, but if you consider the time-value-of-money, it actually favors the option with the lower initial cost. If you are able to keep your money rather than spending it, you can invest it in something with a better return.
Right. Most real papers have dedicated reporters (or even editors) for all kinds of fields. The problem is not lack of familiarity. The reporters are trying to write for readers who are not experts. A certain amount of simplification is required.
30 seconds is an eternity on a broadcast TV news program. Sound bytes are more like 8 seconds and even their in-depth coverage may only go to 30 seconds.
NPR has a way to go. In a recent "All Things Considered" report on the loss of Greyhound bus service to Beach ND, the local reporter was allowed to claim that it would leave a thousand miles without bus service. An exaggeration at best, a blatant lie to get sympathy at worst.
Lack of fact checking is as bad, if not worse, problem as slanted reporting.
Unfortunately, Gary isnt happy about the current state of affairs because he died in 1994. At least Jef is still around and working on new ideas. Check out:

In the fold n' drop demo, it treats maximized windows the same as non-maxed windows and works just fine.

A good analogy is not a defense against a felony. Although not actually mentioned in TFA, he was probably charged under 815.06. You can read it at http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_ mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0815/titl0815.htm if you are interested in Florida law.
Sprint PCS coverage is not as good as analog cell, but it's not that bad. Certainly better than T-Mobile.
The speed of the tip of the blade is relative to the air, not the ground. The blade doesn't care how fast it is moving in relation to the ground.
That is the funniest spelling correcting I have seen today. Ha!

The PowerPC 970 (G5) processor is POWER4 based, not POWER5. Sub $1500 POWER5 machines are not not going to happen soon.
The real power of the open power concept is that IBM is opening the design of the entire architecture. Has anyone else ever done that? Nothing on this scale that I know about.

To be even more clear - These were sent to researchers doing work funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Market cap is market cap regardless of where the shares are traded.
Yes, at least right now. Look at the two in a few minutes and the results could be different again. The joys of the free market.

I wouldn't have suggested it without doing it myself. Interesting, isn't it?

This is off-topic but - Google up "CSI effect" and read on it. You may change you views.
HD channels are 6MHz. This is the same as NTSC broadcast.
