Otherwise they'd be saying that they don't care about persuing people who pirate their software. On the other hand, it'll take a day or two just like SP1 for people to get around it. To install SP1 on a machine with a blacklisted cd-key takes about 5 minutes of googling, downloading, reading, and cracking. Outside the corporate world, it seems it's impossible to get caught using pirated software. This whole genuine software bit was just the work of some PR person who's knowledge in software doesn't matter at this point.
And by the way, this isn't going to make anyone switch to linux, i don't care what people say or annoyingly ironic links to gentoo.com they put in their posts. When you don't pay for software in the first place, it doesn't make a difference to switch to free software.
The point I was trying to make is that all the energy is still comming from the gasoline engine. Yes, you can reuse a little more from braking on these cars, but that is really small compared to what you're wasting in heat from the gasoline engine and the electric motor. I understand that this design can be more efficient in say city driving because the engine doesn't have to idle when stopped in traffic. However, all these do not really add up to much, definatly not 40, 50, 60+ mpg. I hope that clarified things. Please post any responses to this post.
Instead of being hooked on caffeine throughout the day, you should cut it out of your diet. Humans have existed for thousands of years without caffeine so why does everyone think it's nessesary to function? You want to stay awake? Relax and go to sleep. Yeah, I know, easier said than done. But then tell me how taking stimulants throughout the day is going to help you relax?
Well Microsoft's Trusted Computing is bad. I'm not sure how "evil" Cisco is. But then again, they are a large company that makes lots of money so there's got to be something sinister about that. Maybe their name should be Ci$co, or even ciSCO.
Well yeah, what we really all want is good coverage and long battery life. However, people don't want large batteries and a huge antenna. Consumers usually chose the cool gadget over the practical one. I recently got a new phone from verizon. It's cheap, great batter life, and getter reception than my previous phone. It doesn't have any special features. But the point is I'm limited to the network. They only provider in my area is verizon and it's not even that good at my house. And remember, verizon makes the network and it's up to them to make it better, not nokia. More towers are needed and that's expensive, so verizon just sells cool phones so their customers don't realize the service is shitty for the price we pay.
I think this is bad for linux. Microsoft isn't going to release a new os unless they feel it has a lot more features than linux. The only thing linux has going for it that affect most people is price and stability. Other than reliability, linux distros have only been playing catchup with microsoft and apple. A lot of "features" in linux really just are clones of ms and apple. Microsoft's probably thinking they should keep it a secret for a while so they can't be copied to linux. When they release longhorn in the years to come, their intentions are probably that it will blow desktop linux out of the water. Who knows if it'll happen, but that's where they're putting all their eggs.
I'm waiting until I can just lean over and fart and a pizza is on it's way. This still requires too much work. I'm sure they can incorporate that in the 2.7 kernel.
What if I stole a ford explorer and then took it to the dealer to replace the tires because they were recalled? I'd look like an idiot. I could say to the dealer "well me driving on the road with these bad firestones is unsafe to everybody" and he'd retort back "yeah...and you stole this car!" Just because everyone hates microsoft, doesn't mean they should be expected to support products that are stolen. Even though we're dealing with software and the cost to them for stealing is zilch, they still have to pay for the bandwidth and servers to host windows update.
This course load looks more like computer engineering than computer science to me. The comp sci majors at my school do not need all this high level math and physics. They focus more on programming. It's odd to see how one major can vary from school to school.
I'm not talking about computer science, software engineer, or computer science engineer, I'm talking about full fledged computer engineer. It's basically electrical engineering and computer science courses. Here's the math I take:
Calc 1-3 Differential Equations Advanced Engineering Math Systems and Signals
and I'm sure some others I haven't taken yet. I'm second year and that's what I've taken so far so you can see that computer engineers require a lot of math. As for computer science majors, they are not required to take nearly as many math courses at my college. From what I've seen, it's probably not nessesary if you're looking to be a programmer. If you're into algorithms, maybe higher level math would be required.
In our country, every kid goes to school and therefore the average of the intelligence is lower than in a country where only smart or rich kids have the opportunities.
This probably is why kids in other countries are more motivated by education because if they drop out they'll be in a sweatshop the rest of their life.
I don't think the issue here is that "america bad, rest of world good."
"Wait, I thought the consensus here was that everything should be free be and open. I for one find it apppaaaauuulling that they're not willing to offer a service that costs them money for free.

I know at least 20% of the people out there reading the headline to the article were thinking that. I'm also willing to bet that 40% of them are currently unemployed as they would be at work now and not slashdot. (I'm a college student so I got an excuse.) What's the big deal with this, everything "free" today is laced with ads of some type. Ads are everywhere, deal with them by not buying sugared water for $2 not by bitching on slashdot (which by the way is free to you and paid for by ads!).
Other than your internet connection, most of the content on the web is free but paid for by ads. If you're in the park and you get free web access and bitch because of some popup ad, then don't use it! Connect to the internet from your cell phone and pay for the minutes!
If you look at the slide with all the swatches, there's one for "cornflower blue" Anyone who's seen "Fight Club" should find this funny. I did at least.
I've seen these every once in a while on the discovery or learning channel. Cars that are also boats. Okay, so this one might be a little faster and cooler looking, but the bottom line is they don't sell because there's no market.
As not to get modded down, I've always used pricewatch because it's been around for a while and it's been faithful. I also check ebay every time I want to buy something. One of the reasons for that is that it's, well, a good market place to see what people are paying for. It's become a sort of stock market for a lot of things, especially hardware. Another plus is that you have access to the feedback. Sometimes discount stores on the web can be shady and get away with it whereas on ebay there is a little more accountability.
As with any bargain hunting, you've always got to watch out for the too good deals as many people have been burned on the internet
Slashdot Mirror
They must be avid slashdotters
Dude, not much has changed

You can't create more energy from less fuel. You can do it more efficiently, but this going to the electric motor and back isn't that efficient.

then I'd say just leave it unpatched. when the thief plugs it into an unfirewalled network the worms will erase the data for you.
Productivity? Who cares about that? It's all about the open source!
That and the music.
I think Linus needs a flame war again based on his heresy.

10%? They can do better than that. All they really need is their legal team. They already admitted that all they have left is IP litigation.

Or make it run off of linux. "The Live Linux to fix Windows CD"

Not his sort of thing?
Making money is is sort of thing. I hope you didn't think software was his sort of thing. Maybe 30 years ago, but I think he's moved on.
How what's he going to wipe his ass with tomorrow morning? Maybe extra windows 95 licences left over or the stolen SCO code.
