10 days isn't enough but the fact is, most people see it this way: if it takes 10 months to learn the advantages (or learn how to properly expose the advantages), then it's not worth it.
this interpretation of 'free' in terms of software has angered a few people somewhat, including Richard Stallman
bah, this is STALLMANS interpretation of free, the word 'free' was used in price way before it was used as in 'freedom'
i HATE people that say otherwise.
look, if you want to use 'free' to mean 'freedom', that's fine by me, but if you try and correct me when i use it as in 'no price', then you need to get a life.
and yes, there are a lot of languages, but english seems to be well known with the upper class and educated indians (and those people make the chunk of the computer users), which is why localization hasn't been a big issue in india,
but if you are to bring it to the commoners, then it is required.
WRONG! family guy is completely different, the whole comedy style is NOTHING like the simpsons. (family guy is freaking hilarious and senseless, while simpsons has an interesting plot/story every week).
as for futurama, it has a more sci-fi/geek based comedy style that you wont find in the others.
Still in the early stages of development, Eiger will run a bare-bones set of programs directly from the desktop. The list will include the Internet Explorer browser, Windows Media Center, a firewall and antivirus software. Most other programs, however, will run off a central server.
so can this replace old stand-alone machines that aren't connected to any useable server?
Parents all over America are concerned that these new 'Red' screens of death are very stressful for their children and are pushing for microsoft to change this color immediately.
Microsoft was unavailable for comment at this time.
the type of people who would want a refund for their copy of windows is the same type of people who not buy a computer from a manufacturer.
having said that, why should one have to go through all this trouble just to get a refund, i've seen an article explaining the very same procedure before, will this go on forever?
as long as the manufacturers can avoid it whenever possible, they will continue to splurt out BS over the phone as long as it's legal and gives them a slight chance that they can avoid the refund.
Excellent Example! I hate that damn physical spam WalMart, Safeway and Best Buy send me infinately more than I hate email spam, because it's much easier to set up a email filter.
Once those physical-mail spammers go to jail, I'll support this guy going to jail.
this is completely different and a bad analogy, it cost these stores money to send it out, and they don't send out in massive bulk quantities, once a week from safeway? who cares.
dozens of penis enlargement emails a day? now that's a big deal.
First they came for the spammers, but I wasn't a spammer, so I did nothing Then they came for the copyrighted music theives, but commercial music sucks, so I didn't care [cut]
you know how ridiculous you sound? spamming has NOTHING to with free speech, it's all about advertising, go read the first amendment, i'm not even american and i know enough about it.
Defense attorney David Oblon argued in court that nine years was far too long given that Jaynes was charged as an out-of-state resident with violating a Virginia law that had taken effect just two weeks before. "We have no doubt that we will win on appeal," Oblon said outside court.
9 years too long? i don't think so. on what grounds would they win? did the people who bought penis enlargement pills give good feedback? when the law takes effect has no merit, he was sending 10 mil emails a day. just multiply that by 2 weeks.
He also has said the law is an unconstitutional infringement of free speech.
ok, let me come to your house, stuff hundreds of flyers a day at your front door, then say it's an unconstitutional infringement on free speech if i get stopped.
the article didn't mention what type of spam he was sending (but at 10mil/day, my guess is every kind).
Slashdot Mirror
comedy is when you try to make someone laugh, thus the FUNNY tage MODERATORS
:)
i know what funny is, and i have a sense of humour,
unfortunately, you failed at your attempt at being funny
thus the reason for my reply
are we outsourcing editorial work to India, too?
uh, since when is Sri Lanka in India
they are 2 seperate countries,
know your geography, read a book.
10 days isn't enough but the fact is, most people see it this way: if it takes 10 months to learn the advantages (or learn how to properly expose the advantages), then it's not worth it.
oops, the second link is wrong:
here is correction
i like digital-daily, they have some good benchmarks:
PCI-E 2005
ATI 2003
for example
Well tens of thousands of people are not going to RTFM
so they should RTFM to get correct information, has slashdot's reputation become _THAT_ bad?
did any of them happen to say: "I think you're a hot prof!"
For Linux, Windows or OS X.
;)
Uh.... I prefer Linux just like most of us, but I like my GF better.
With a witty sense of humour like that, i'm suprised you even have a GF
i'm not even sure XP users will upgrade to IE7 manually. people just use whatever comes with their system.
of course, there is the automatic windows update system, which will tell users to upgade, and they will do it.
the challenge of tron is you are moving at a fast speed, what do you do in this bike situation?
:/
maybe there should be a minimum speed limit? (which means you lose if you get too tired)
maybe a motorbike could be used, although you would need a closed course for safety,
this all seems too much for the real world
Not that I particularly care, but since you're being such an arse about it...
i was talking about 'free' used in the context of software, not in general.

yeah i get it now :)
i thought you meant 1 billion in total and made a typo
sorry
spoken by at least one million people.
btw, i think you probably meant a billion

nope he said:
I took the initiative in creating the Internet
not exactly the same things, but still it could be taken as misleading.
excellent point!
even the best of F/OSS games have only adequate, at best, graphics.
the F/OSS world has a shortage of artists. why is this? maybe they have enough to do without contributing to open source projects? i'm not sure.
slashdot editing is getting worse and worse, the editors don't care because at the end of the day, they get their paychecks.
it could be interpreted that "hacker high school" teaches you how to defend yourself against "bad hackers"
note, the full title on the website:
"hacker highschool security awareness for teens"

AS FAR as humans are concerned, language has got to be the ultimate evolutionary innovation.

really? by reading slashdot, it feels more like devolution to me!
