Well of course the MAIN reason it is interesting is because it can support the argument that life may/have existed on Mars.
However even if you aren't into that, water can be used as a power source which would make Mars much more inhabitable for humans in the future.
But honestly, people only care about the question of life, not water, existing on Mars.
Um, search harder then creating operating systems for desktops, servers, cell phones and embedded devices? Somehow I don't think so.
Search is easy and all it takes is for someone to come in and take mindshare away. Before Google, everyone used to talk about Yahoo and they were "it" for search. Its very easy for the user to switch and for well funded competitors to enter in the market, so to say the "search engine business is formed" is particularly idiotic.
Oh and BTW, if you count all of Microsoft's web properties they are #1 in visitors (by a long shot!), and MSN search is #3.
BPL screws with Ham radio which is a good reason not to support this! Support your local HAM, they did so much during Katrina and 9/11 - we owe it to them.
-They don't like Microsoft or proprietary software, but they buy Microsoft's closed source console and/or the PS2.
-They don't like the MPAA, but they go see their movies.
-We don't like the RIAA or DRM, but they buy the iPod and use iTunes.
So is it all just blather, or am I just new here? How about standing up for your beliefs and stop promoting and using products that are against your supposed philosophies?
He didn't fund the backbones. I did, as a fucking taxpayer. Al Gore just spent my money. And BTW, he was just one of the many sponsors of the spending bills. He wasn't even a primary sponsor.
Great, so please send me a digital copy of your movie, plus all the production notes and anything else that I need to recreate it. I also can movie resell and show the movie without restrictions.
After all, thats what you are asking software developers to do right?
And "Dangermouse" is doing the same thing with all his albums and the albums he works on too, right?
Twitter, why do you continue to lie? Whitebox PC's do not make up 75% of the PC market, they make up more like 30%. See here for more information: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/33596.html.
Of course the majority of computers that show up to be repaired major brand PC's - they are the majority of the market!
You future of "everything is free" isn't going to happen. Its not sustainable and no one who matters wants it. This isn't new, there have been many low cost PC's available that run Linux. No one is switching.
Yeah imagine if you bought a PS2 and later on they came out with another version that not only fixed some issues, but was slimmer and required less power and had improved support for ethernet! And on top of that it was cheaper! The early adopters wouldn't stand for it! Wait, whats that you say? Sony did that?
Thats great, but DTCP/IP isn't in Vista. It wasn't even created by Microsoft. DTCP-IP was developed jointly by Intel, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sony, and Panasonic.
Um, yeah, sorry. They aren't changing TCP/IP. They are just adding API features to the stack and better v6 support. Hate to break it to ya, but modern TCP/IP stacks are not just code copied from a BSD. They have been added to and portions have been rewritten.
Heres an example of some of the features they added:
-Reconfigure without having to restart the computer -New support for scaling on multi-processor computers -Easier kernel mode network programming
There is nothing in the article that suggests changes/enhancements to the protocol itself.
Of course you will be modded up to +5 and I will be modded to oblivion, but I thought I might throw the truth out there for those that are interested.
Oh and BTW: The whole EU process is one thing - getting the lawyers rich on both sides. You should not be cheering them on. They will come after anyone in IT if they think they can make a buck.
They maintain the schedule to help IT Administrators not because it is convienent to MS. The purpose of the schedule is to give the admins time to test and roll out new patches, rather than releasing patches irregularly and not being able to prepare.
If you worked in a large IT environment you would understand this.
What I have done in the past is to buy a bunch of old Windows CE.NET devices off of Ebay and use their touchscreens. For some (like the Aquapad) you can even get Linux drivers - search for Midori Linux and Aquapad.
Its certainly cheaper than trying to source new screens.
I don't understand. $1,000 is not what Windows/Office/Email/Database costs in Windows. Windows and Office usually comes with the computer. Cost to the end user: $0. There are plenty of "free" alternatives for email/database/etc on Windows as well. In case you don't know, much OSS runs on Windows. OSS doesn't just run on Linux. Microsoft has already introduced lower cost versions of Windows/Office to compete in price sensistive markets.
Oh and BTW: the wireless AP makers (like Linksys) have already dumped Linux for a proprietary OS (VxWorks).
So basically you are wrong on every point, yet you will be modded up +5 and I will be modded down. Such is Slashdot!
Um twitter, why does everything revolve around "M$" for you? We are talking about the embedded market. People (like Linksys/Dlink) are dumping Linux for VxWorks and other RTOS mostly, not Windows Embedded. This has nothing to do with "M$" so I am modding you virtually down -1.
BTW, respondents from the "Embedded Systems Design and Embedded Systems Design Europe, as well as registrants for the Embedded Systems Conference" are a pretty goddamn good cross section of the industry. You need to see a psychologist, you seem to have some fear/jealously regarding Microsoft.
I know that if I contributed to a OS that over 600,000,000 people used daily I would be pretty goddamn satisfied with my life. What the executives have going on has nothing to do with the morality or quality of the engineers.
Of course, jealousy because "M$" made tens of thousands of regular engineers multi-millionaires is quite common around here. However, if you think about it you Slashbots should be CHEERING for companies like MS, because they offer opportunities for engineers to make real money, unlike corporations like IBM which treat engineers as common cattle while the CEO makes hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
Um yeah, really informative. Hey guess what? Microsoft has had FOUT STOCK SPLITS since 1997. Therefore your "analysis" is worthless. If you would like to learn what that means look at this chart comparing AAPL and MSFT: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?t=my&s=MSFT&l=off&z= m&q=l&c=AAPL
Which would you rather invest in? Hint, AAPL is the red line and MSFT is the blue line (the one with 600,000% growth at the peak). Those little triangles are stock splits. Se the real numbers are 200,000% growth for MSFT and about 200% growth for AAPL.
Slashdot, he was JOKING. Do you need to slam everything about "M$"? So stupid. BTW, Linus has said that he doesn't allow his kids to use OSX or Windows, just Linux. What do you think about that?
Well said. Microsoft is making over a BILLION DOLLARS in CASH every MONTH! $1,000,000,000 in pure cash (not revenue) every 30 days. And their profits are increasing. WAKE UP! Microsoft has won and will continue to win in the near future.

Actually they try to get through the Chunnel. The UK is a popular destination for refugees.
Bitcoin isn't anonymous. It was never designed for that.
What is Intel Extreme Masters? Who is Cuban? Why not just say "fuck"? This is the Interwebs.

Microsoft makes over a billion dollars in CASH (not revenue) PER MONTH. Investing 4 billion to enter a new market is not much.

No, as I said, DTCP/IP will not be part of Vista.

Never mind then.

Actually Microsoft has a very large Linux lab. I've seen it myself and there was a story on it on Slashdot about a year ago.

This flaw works on 6.0.2800.1106 on Win2k for me.
It doesnt work in IE7 beta 2 though.
