That quote really stuck out to me as well. In 2002, our friends Ms. Fiorna herself raked in $10,934,357 Think of how many jobs HP would be able to keep if she made half of that?
Educated people working for minimum wage? That's preposterous for the industry to even come up with a statement like that. The industry apologists would crack me up if this wasn't so alarming.
Very good points. But why must it be that it is Microsoft and Intel that are working on the new progress? Microsoft's bad behavior is well documented. There's only MS and Intel working together; no consortium of hardware and software makers? I like the OpenGL model. Plenty of developers all involved in creating standards. Since we're dealing with core processes here, it would seem to follow to be the best method (for consumers).
Furthermore, what happened to Microsoft's deal with Phoenix? MS seems to be working very hard on asserting at least some degree of influence on the low level operations of PCs.
Skepticism seems the best m.o. I, for one, don't quite welcome our new booting overlords quite yet.
Linux, Saab, Saab. I didn't buy exactly what I wanted but a very reliable '86 900. What can I say? I'm a college student with more time than money and almost no time at that. Maybe when I'm done I'll get a sexy new Saab. Probably not.
THere's been an article or two about it n/., but mp3 trading can be good for business. Three years ago, when Penny Arcade had a radio station, I heard a song by Matthew Good and went out and downloaded about 20 of his songs. This was over the period of a week or so and in 3-5 song increments.
After that, I went out and over another period of time bought almost every single one of his CDs. Sure, I had a burner but it's not the same quality.
I've since quit file sharing (unless you're my friend and you know how to use scp) and for that matter, I've quit purchasing CDs.
Anecdotal evidence but I'm very aware I'm not the only one that's done this. It's not a "thief's ethic" it's good common sense.
My Athlon has run for two years now without fail for me. It's a desktop computer not a laptop so I can't relate on that respect.
There were stability issues until I stopped using Win 2K and switched to Slackware. I'm not quite an AMD fanboy but they've never given me reason to purchase anything else...yet.
Ah, that's the rub. Although it's been mostly skirted around except possibly by a few trolls, it seems the reasoning is, if the OS is inherently insecure, and the end users don't secure it themselves, the attempting to secure the network layer itself will work for the common good.
Many users have need for some open ports (Certain video games, etc. It's no fun trying to explain to a Windows gamer why their Linksys or ZoneAlarm blocks them from Warcraft 3) whether they know it or not, they most certainly do not need services they don't use listening on said ports.
In the view of this singular poster, firewalling should be an opt-in service and the ISPs have every right to charge for it.

Transfer rate is pretty decent. No wait.

Be that as it may, I think the site was fun and funny at the same time
Heh. That means don't stop watching the TV!
