Maybe they were in the past, now they are just the industry leader in market share (which seemingly goes down every year). When does the EU leave MS alone, when Apple over takes them in market share?
I'm not one of the people who's answer for everything is "let the market decide".. but to me it seems like the regulations against MS in the past are working. In the US, at least, I see more and more people getting Apple laptops. I don't think MS is a monopoly any more.
Having been an engineer at Symantec for 5 1/2 years, I can tell you that what they suffer from is the inability to build new products themselves, or a management team that refuses to try (you choose).
So what you're saying is we're going to have to buy Canada in order to fix health care?
What I hope is that they make some of the single songs available for download through the wii shop. I don't want the entire game, but it would be nice to have a couple metallica songs on the set list while playing world tour.
Not always. Honda Motor has "stayed the course" over it's history, rejecting massive expansion during the boom which allows it to continue business as normal during a recession. Of course this recession is sparing no one, so even lean running companies are having troubles.
Not trying to condone the action, but how many Japanese would've died protecting their home soil? Japan's military had no intention of surrendering at the time.
Maybe if the suicide bombers were mostly taking out soliders. They aren't, they are mostly taking out civilians. It would be much more effective to take an AK-47 and spray a crowd of people if that was your plan. You may even get away and get a second chance at doing it.
Maybe that's the key difference between Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats will whine until the next election if a Republican wins.. whereas a Republican will give the Democrat a chance to see what he/she can do before passing judgement.
(note, I'm an independant who voted for neither McCain or Obama)
The whole concept is creating a sustainable cycle of nutrients. Sure MREs are pretty compact and have a long shelf life, but even those add up to a large volume if you've got 7 astronauts on a 4 month voyage.
Well, the motion picture companies have been inventing their own accounting system for years, it's no wonder the music biz also has some questionable numbers.
Then you create an army of suicide bombers. If they were already willing to fight (and kill).. knowing the enemy sentenced you to a slow and agonizing death.. I think the easy choice for most would be going down in a blaze of glory.
If that's the case the next thing the legislators in CA need to do is wipe LA off the face of the planet. I like LA, go out there once or twice a year.. but it's the epitome of excessive waste, over spending, and selfishness.

one customer does not a demise make
Well, as someone working in the auto industry, I've seen first hand how this is not true. We have many suppliers that are in trouble simply because Ford or GM has scaled back their production so much. I work for an automaker that still is profitable.. but we're getting hit hard because of supplier closings.
For example, if Supplier X makes 1000 widgets per day, they have the employees, the equipment, and the building to do it efficiently and cost effectively. If,due to demand, you can only sell 400 widgets per day the overhead becomes so enormous you are no longer a competative business.
Question related to IPv6 - is it a hardware requirement or a software requirement that is the issue right now? I recently bought a wireless router that I know can be flashed to DD-WRT (haven't done it yet). In the future could it be flashed to support IPv6?
Anyone with satelite or cable already is fine. The only people who are going to have issues are those with analog antennas. The converter box or a digital antenna will cost about $30.
I understand $30 is still too much for some people, which is why the government had a program to assist. The problem is the doomsday scenario the media made it out to be that probably caused tens of thousands of people to request a voucher without actually needing it. It took over a year for me to convince my grandmother and my parents that their cable was already digital and they would have no issues, even if their TVs were 8-10 years old. Hell, even people selling TVs a year or two ago were providing confusing information.
Maybe not all cable is digital yet.. I guess I assume since my area has been digital for the past decade+ (small town ohio) that just about everyone should be.
For a moment I wasn't sure if I was reading/. or penthouse...
...providing carefully timed jerks of the cable at its base... ...with their bristles pointing downwards allowing the climber assembly to slide upward along the broomstick as it moved slightly downward, but grip it as it moved slightly upward...
Why not? It's a handheld computer that already has thousands of applications (I'm guessing, never looked). If I'm going to pay that much for one I'll want the option to use it as entertainment. I'd probably put the original Command & Conquor on it for long trips on a plane or in a car.
I know people will cringe, but I've got all my PWs written down and taped to the bottom of my desktop calculator. I have 7 different log ins for various programs/systems that all seem to have different PW requirements. Hell if I can remember them over a long weekend especially when they are all on different reset calendars.
I realize it's stupid to have the PWs accessable so near my computer.. but at least now I have a laptop and take it home with me every evening.. so unless someone finds my hidden PWs then steals my laptop there isn't much worry.
Plus if I croak suddenly they can get into my stuff easier...
The Neon isn't really a good example since it was a piece of shit. Did they produce any fuel efficient cars that were good quality? The Neon came out in the mid 90s, right? How many you still see on the road? I know I still see plenty of Accords, Civics, and Corollas on the road from the late 80s.
Slashdot Mirror
I heard it from a friend last night, went to IMDB.com and it is listed on there, set to begin production sometime soon. It makes me want to cry.

neither as bad as the Karate Kid remake that is apparently going to happen. Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.... ugh.

Honest question, what browser (if any) comes on a new Mac? What about if I install a Linux distro?
Be nice to NYCL - he's fighting the good fight :)

Ahh yes, President elect Obama.. the same guy I saw on a commercial last night touting "clean" coal.
He hasn't even taken office yet and has already taken a dump on the environment.
Good post, but I think I can summarize it quickly for the typical /.er.
