I dont think the handfull of geeks will scare 'em at all, what should scare em is the vista fear I sudenly realize some of my WERY non geeky friends have. I dont buy the "nothing will vork on vista and forget about playing your mp3 collection ever working with all the DRM" fud that ther has been so much of in the media, neither did I think any one else did til a friend of mine stated that it was over his cold dead body vista ever got close to his computer. = This atitude in non geeks should scare em:p
I think that ppl filming police oficers doing or miss doing their job is not a problem, but usualy those videos serves no purppuse on youtube except making fools of the oficers in question. Most ppl er will agree you dont have to be a wiz to alter a wideo or cut it so that it shows a wery twisted "truth".
So now I just need Seth Brundle to mix me up with the right species for up grades, right? elefant for memory, and chiks should definatly get some cat for agility:p
Dual-boot, I whant multi tasking, or atleast thae abilety to recive information(incomming stream from chick) and store it in cashe, while I do more important things... (anything:p)
Finaly, maybe ppl will have to train so they become atleast half deasent shots for that protective gunt to have any oter effect than just beeing a hazzard to evry one else:)
I agree, if this where a suit agenst some linux distro, thee would have been alot of ranting her about how dumb software patents are and how they should not be allowd to sue if they do don't even have a real product that uses this tecnology (I've not red tfa) But since this is MS, wich we all ofcourse hates, they get away with it.
I have been using SimplyMEPIS for about a year when I desided to switch to suse, and I'm telling ya, having a company backing them has not done the distro any harm! Almost evry thing just works, even some of the things that has been a bit jerky in other distros. MP3! no windows users understand that mp3 is so hard in some distros! Tho in suse it where quite simple.
But, ther is a large but! MPlayer needs to be made more available and easyer to install. That is the single thing most user I've encountered have trouble with understanding. I relize that many distros cant include all codecs, but they should most sertenly include the ones they can. Having 10 GB of porn that can not be wathed sends users on a fast track back to windows. Simplyfying that would help alot. Most ppl can easily adopt to oo, and wine was so simple it was a shame it where not instaled by default, my phone was just discovered and no cd was needed like in windows. WIFI(i have a suky one that tok me sewral days to get woring in XP) simply started working during install. But geting media, espeshialy movies to run is still to hard for many user, wich I find rather sad caus when you know how to get it working it will run atleast as smooth as on windows:/
I have a sonyericsson mobile phone, wich I am wery pleased with. When it comes to game consoles, I dont realy whant a nintendo, so sony seems to come out of it as the lesser of 2 evils, atleast if I'm selecting one based on the company making it. But I gues I'm not that anti microsoft, so if when the ps3 comes out the x-box 360 still is the best box, I'll probably get one of those then.
First off all; I dont think parent tries to be funny, so stop the mad moding.
Second; I think many/. readers relate better to cars, remote controled alarms and crack heads than they do to high level politics and advanced military equipment.
Third; Even I find it rather rude comparing the us military to a crackhead. In some contries embasies are tourtched over cartoons, good knows what this could result in:p
I hear you, but was I the only one thinking: Get that fucking thing away from my head!!!
But sereously, my head is not wery boiled so I kind of doubdt this shit:p
In some ways you are entierly correct, but you forget one realy important aspect. Many, if not most, of the flaws exploited by hackers has been discovered and information about it is already posted. Many of the ppl that find those error would be capable of writing a fix, or atleast point a finger directly at the problem so someone else could write a fix, if the source where available. With windows, they can usualy just say that when we do this and that, we are able to exploit the system in this and that way. They can never look at the code and tell what the real problem is. This, I belive, will make sure that open source systems generaly will be more secure in the long run than a closed source system.
Yes, but atleast her in scandinavia many(I'm not wery into it, I only saw a eport on tv a while back) broker houses have an unethical company list witch they do not trade in(land mine produsers, companies exploiting their workers and so on). Say I whant my money invested, I can say I don't whant my money suporting those kind of companys.
If google end up on such a list, couldent that hurt quite a bit to?
I belive, that having a China that is wastly dependant on western companys and tecnology, will eventualy lead to a China that is more like we like it, and probbably more like its citizens like it than staying away all togeter. What stops an isolated China from ending up like a north corea just with a LARGE arsenal of nukes and more manpower than we, europe and the us, will ever have available. That, could be wery dangerous. Not directly for uss, but for many of the contries we are wery dependant on.....
Maybe changing their policy to "Do less evil than most"?
I believe it is not so much fear that the us government will shut it down as the need to be independent of the us system. I believe some European governments don't want the us to have that kind of powerful bargaining chip if disagreements should arise. I would expect that most us citizens do have an understanding and appreciation for the concept of independence. Besides, I believe there are agreements present so that if the us turns of GPS in a conflict area, so will the Europeans do with Galileo.
The X-Box is a realy great media center, but only after it has ben moded! An action mr Gates has tried hes hardest to make imposible:( Dont ask me why, it is the only reason I would ever consider bying one:p

I diver can just drop hes led belt, and he will be more or less safly returned to the surface :p
As long as allofmp3.com is legal in russia, and they sell a product you are alowed to import to your contry, that is probably correct.
I'll have a remote controll, wifi and telekineses built in pleace :p

1. Fiering a spear on a car doing 100 mph in trafic is rather dangerous.t ory?id=538452&page=1
2. Why would you need a spear when you could just use a microwave gun http://www.abcnews.go.com/Technology/FutureTech/s
This leads me to belive this devise is realy most usefoull in cases where you whant to follow the car without stoping it.
I think the idea of beeing seen on the battle field is somwhere in the lines of: fight on, se the king still fights with us :p

Rule number 1 is: You can make it as simle as you'd like. If it is thik, most mundanes will stear clear of it.

Ok That's just whoring for founds. Anny investor puting mony into this fails rule 1 of investing: If it looks to god to be true, it probably is.

If it looks like pine and smells like pine, it probably is just pine, and not a feking powerplant
