I know that. But try comparing a 256kpbs mp3 to a "lossless" from CD and u'll get what I mean. Stop "marking" my words and I'm sure you DO undrestand what I mean. You are just trying to act either stupid and just try to be like "ooh, look at me, I'm so good at knowing useless facts"... bottom line is, the shit/crap they offer is WORST than CDs.
The war on drugs and the war on terrorism is not enough, so they need yet another war... war on cybercrimes, they got to use up all those tax moneys somewhere!
Allow me to puke on yet another statistics based "news article" whith sole purpose of conditioning the general public like they do with the war on drugs and the like.
It's nice and all but will we be able to build a fanless PC from it? Although I'm not sure how fast the PC would operate if it could be allowed to get that hot?
damn it, at first I thought it meant "Anarchy Online" ( http://www.anarchyonline.com/ )... Used to play it years ago before it became a heaven for carebears.:(
I second that, it's very true. Sadly, a week extra for doing better code is not doable for all projects. They usually want the project out the door "yesterday":(
I have read more books, I have meet more people and I have fucked more girls than you and that other moron EVER will in your ENTIRE lives.
Clearly, you see education as something one gets from the academic sections only. This alone shows your lack of insight and knowledge about how the real world actually works.
And yes, I got a BIG FUCKING EGO due to it. I will brag and I will show and shine anytime, anyhow, anywhere I want. Because I know earned it.
When was the last time you wrote an app which got used in NASA, Oracle and Microsoft ? When was the last time you helped 10000+ people ?...Oh yeah, did not think so either.
Your lies are too obvious, you are yet another uneducated moron. Brainwashed by the Linux cult.
XP can do LIVE CD too. It all depends on packaging.
Why would I want a centralized place for ALL my apps? When one thing fails, they ALL fail. I'm sure you would be bitching if Microsoft did something like that just because it's Microsoft doing it. No thank you very much, you can have that for yourself.
Linux has no "grassroot", Windows has the largest community of software and developers in the entire planet! Heck, in the entire solar system!...You love to lie, don't ya ?
I'm one of the few (less than 1%) of people with an IQ amount of probably two people's (like you) IQs put together.
Your lack of knowledge screams from your entire post. Go read a book or two, it MIGHT help.
Yes, A bit offtopic but I just did a "Search" and not one word of "Windows" in the entire replies yet! I'm going out to look at the sky, perhaps the pigs are flying!:O
Yeah. I'm with you on this. Most of/. visitors are uneducated and have the "zomfg m$ is teh sux0rz" mob mentality. Vista is not a server OS, although this might need some fine tuning, the design behind it is not nessesary flawed. Vista is not a server OS and it is aimed at consumer market where playing Audio and DVDs without glitches are much higher priority than getting highest performance out of your networking interface.
I'm so damn sick of this Microsoft bashing, since 90% of the time it is without a legit reason. I am SURE that if ANY Linux version had such a huge market share ( they can only dream ) there would be much worst issues.
Linux is FREE and it still has LESS market share than APPLE! If Linux was actually that good, people would not pay to buy OSX or Windows. Most of the FUD around Microsoft is flat out lies and most of the hype behind Linux is also lies from the same people spreading anti Microsoft shit all over the Internet and the forums.
They are much like spammers, instead of Viagra, they want to force you to use Linux because "it's better" according to THEM....but hey, that's just me.
I'm not ignorant nor fool but by judging your reply, you seem to be the fool on the hill. Read a couple of more book and you will see that your reply is way off. I'm not even going to bother explaining the reason to you since I have no interest in educating you. Sadly, most slashdotters are as ignorant as you ( as the majority of the rest of mass panicing sheeples [read: people] ) hence your reply gets to be "Insightful".
Might be a bit offtopic but Wait a minute... there is no war going on between USA and Iran, Since when did Iran become your enemy? Just because your president sais something stupid you see a whole country as "your" enemy?
Call me crazy, but that is just wrong.
I'm from Iran myself and I know that most people in Iran do not see USA as the "enemy" at all. People should not judge a country by the small minority which rules it.
This is not really news, passport used to be open a couple of years ago when the bubble burst. No one really used it much so they closed it again. The idéa is not too bad but I don't see this happen any time soon. They probably will close this too when the next bubble burst.
I don't say competition is bad, I would never touch this thing. I remove their PDF reader and use Foxit for my family members, I won't if they'll make it as bloated as their PDF reader. Not even Open Office comes close to Microsoft Office for power users. I worked with two businesses doing VERY complex stuff inside Microsoft Office and I tell you, Say whatever you want about Microsoft but that is no easy task to compete with Microsoft Office.
...but this is f**k'ed up! Although, I think we should blame the MPAA. I mean, they are so powerful that they alter laws in their own benefit, who is Microsoft to stand against them? This is however a good reason NOT to use Microsoft's video format for encoding the videos. I don't think they killed themselves but I think they are killing their own format... atleast for now.
It'll be interesting to see how things will turn in the comming months, either way, I think 2008 will be an interesting year.
"Hardware is now obsolete"... jeez, calm down buddy boy.../. is sooo turning into a murdock sensationalism media.
Good, let the technology move forward and for once Microsoft actually has the balls to force it to people. I'm hoping for the day they break backward compatibility with old windows apps too and virtualize them saying "Take it or leave it".
People should not get upset about this. Computers and stuff around it never been like wine (the drink) anyhow. They are more like tomatoes and onions, once you bought them, they are "old news" and worth nothing. Better eat'em up!
In short, nothing much to see here, business as usual.

Stupid idiots like you make my blood boil.
How about offering DRM-free LOSSLESS music? damn it! I was hoping they would offer lossless as well. :'(
It even rimes! Riaa... Mafiaa... can somebody please tell those morons to adapt and evolve their business instead of suing their customers? oh wait...
The war on drugs and the war on terrorism is not enough, so they need yet another war... war on cybercrimes, they got to use up all those tax moneys somewhere!

Well, I agree on the flywheel example. Very good one actually.
Hm... don't you mean 2012 ?

Maybe the free state project in New Hampshire is something you'll like : http://www.freestateproject.org./
No, the joke would be too cruel. For god sake, somebody think of the children! :p
"development group"... pffff.. zomg, r U is teh hax0rz and rotat3 th0ze Lunix deskt0pz on teh Intarnets? KTHX...lawlz..
...allow me to puke.
heh...

I might be a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I'm an Intel fanboy, but I really don't want to see AMD vanishing. Because then Intel would rape us all!

There's no such thing as bad publicity. Right?
Nothing to see here, move along.
