The point that everyone seems to have missed here is that whether ebay are doing this or not, they're not profiting from it in any way, only the person auctioning the goods could ever profit. Ebay's "tax" on winnings is so low as to not increase nor decrease if this is true.
This is an excellent and amusing summary. Thank you!
Also if you compare his CV, Personal Experience and age, you can work out that he was Head of Operations, Webmaster etc at ETIG when he was twelve years old.
In addition to the article being written in the style of a MS press release, I don't think this is a "public review".
Firstly i'd like to state that i'm dissappointed with the disrespectful comments posted, contrary to the mostly intelligent discussion usually found here on slashdot. Have a little respect, people. The hummer comment is also needless. Whatever your opinion, remeber that a 21 year old student's life was taken here.
Secondly, I don't see what this has to do with Solar Power - this accident really has little do with solar power, but instead reflects on the steering mechanism employed by the car, and the flimsiness of its construction. Yes, it'll damage solar power's reputation, but it is not to say that solar power in itself is inherrently dangerous.
It does mean however that a more efficient way of using the power may be needed, as better protection for the passenger means a heavier body for the car. From the admittedly small photo on the news report, it would appear that even the smallest of cars hitting this vehicle at any speed would have caused quite severe damage to the passenger.
I don't know what it was doing being tested on a highway, if it was not road safe - surely this is illegal, and irresponsible.
I'm sick and tired of having to admin an office with 10 Macintosh machines, and one stupid tablet PC running XP, because one of our staff members has severe RSI. The compatibility problems are endless and annoying, nevermind licensing one set of PC software among all the Macintosh apps.
Mac need to produce one, and fast, if only to satisfy me;)
Most companies who's machines hold sensitive data do retain/destroy the hard drives. You can find plenty of machines on ebay, sold stating 'without hard drive' or 'just requires hard drive'.
If it was law, rather than just good practice, maybe we'd feel a lot safer.

You'll get the same viruses, slower. Viruses are not large files.
Yeah, that's awesome. That's the kind of thing we need. I was thinking of making some posters and sticking them on trains and stuff.
Yep, i'm with this guy.
Linux (Debian) at home, rock solid, installing software is too easy.
I often go into console purely because I like to do things via console, and not spend all day clicking around a vast array of buttons.
It has never crashed since I installed it (one and a half years ago), sure the odd app crashes now and then, but never the operating system.
Shame I have to spend half my working day at work fucking around in windows like I am now. What a waste of time, not to mention slow.
So keep putting Linux down, stick to your windows. I don't care. I really don't care!
Oh I see, so you wantLivejournal Jokes!
Bash script. vi get.sh paste those lines into vi exit vi (:wq) chmod a+x get.sh ./get.sh
reap the rewards.
HAHA. Yeah, birmingham fucking sucks!
Nikon are screwing open source developers in the foot too :(
Isn't any developer insane?
...who builds the machines which build houses?

So they're not gaining from it at all.

No, it wont make it a great gaming OS, since it automatically kills your character when you reach level 3!

What apps were those? Were you trying to run MS Office from the terminal again? Get back under your bridge.
Argh, slashdotted in the comments.

I trust the debian team though, perhaps not their Qt packages, but generally I trust them
Which key is the "any" key?

Saquib webserver is great.

Sending animals up is not only cruel, its a waste of a valuable and intelligent lifeform. Send bush up instead.
its there, and somebody has to explore it right? So who better than NASA. And if NASA want to do it via space programs...
It's for trading kiddie porn of course! Ask congress or the RIAA if you don't believe me...
