su when invoked by an admin doesn't need the users password. And sudo can be used to run su without ever getting the root password, so he's basically gotten a root shell only using the password associated with his own loggin. Of course, 'sudo -s' is a much simpler way to get a root shell.
First off, the black list used by firefox is a feature of firefox, not linux. There is no such proction in Konqueror. Furthermore, browsers can be set to associate EXEs with wine, and a few distro make this the default behavior. And winecfg contains a function to map a users home directory to a drive letter with a single click, putting all of a users data in the hands of a virus running under wine.
Yes, we'll find uses for the extra for that storage space, but at the same time many applications will stop growing in terms of the needed storage space. Don't forget that higher capacity flash memory basically killed the microdrive. Pretty soon we'll see affordable flash memory with enough memory to hold uncompressed versions of a users entire music collection, and that'll be the end of hard disk based music players. See where this is going?
The keyboard on the Dell Mini 10v is fine. Although there are a few dialog boxes where the "OK" button appears off the screen, I susspect that as netbooks start to proliferate, that we'll see more applications designed with smaller dialog boxes. Maybe. But there is now way that I'm lugging around my thinkpad. It's 6 pounds, plus the AC adapter adds a few more pounds. The savings in weight make it worth having a smaller screen.
On average, how much use of a computer is really taking advantage of it's full power? Really, I can get a lot done on a 1.6GHz Atom processor. And I absolutly love that I can go all day on one charge of a 6 cell battery. No need to carry around a power cord, unlike my laptop.
It gets even better. The GeForce 256 could be confused with the GeForce 2XX line. Of course, once you try to play the latest game, all the confusion will be gone.
I wouldn't use the sporadic sighting of hurricanes by ships to try and construct patters of hurricanes. The data is way too incomplete to get any real idea of what is going on.
For a while gnash played youtube videos. Then adobe updated the player, and gnash no longer played youtube videos. Everything else on the Internet is covered by some standard, yet this one tiny format that makes a significant amount of content out there is completely proprietary.
Don't forget that unlike jeans, lycra shorts never get caught in the drive train. I may wear jeans for riding my bike across town, but I can't even imagine the pain that would result from trying to ride the boulevard lakefront tour in street cloths.
I added a "II" to the end of his name, primarily to point out to the parent that only other well known Barack Obama is his father, someone he shares the same middle name with.

They started the decade with nearly total domination, which gave them little room to grow.
If you're designing a device to be used by flight attendents, why wouldn't you make it use a NiMH battery? Seems safer.
I guess. I just don't see virus writers trying to take advantage of wine. Wine installations represents a subset of an already small slice of pie.

Maybe to give windows users a good impression of their product and hope that they'll buy more apple products down the road.

It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that AMD was hawking Athlon 64 FX sledgehammers at consumers.
I second that recommendation. Get some friends over for a deathmatch.

obviously things like can perform faster, but in consumer computing, it tends to be less noticeable, relatively.
Exactly. If you have a license for a 32-bit version of XP, why would you purchase a 64-bit version for a 2-8% performance increase.
Why would you run a 64 bit OS? How many users actually need to use more than 4GB of RAM?
Finding an emulator that will run your 16-bit programs shouldn't be hard. And I doubt they require all of the power of your computer.
The real question then is why didn't they didn't do this when they released Windows XP x64, or even Vista.
If this is a joke, then it's not a very funny one. If your actually being serious, then god help us all.
Those numbers are about inner ear damage. The TFA was talking about damage to the ear drum.
Most earplugs are rated to block about 30db, bringing the sound down to around 120db, which is still very irritating.

What's broken here is that a completely closed off format has become standard on the internet.

It should be reasonable to expect a device meant to be portable to be subjected to external forces.
