What are you smoking? Windows 95 can run comfortably on a Pentium 133 with with 16 MB of RAM. Ubuntu seems loathe to publish system requirements (which is an annoying habit of a lot of free software), but OO.org 2 requires 128MB ram minimum.
Sure, call him a moron, but I ask you in all seriousness, how is a user who is not already intimate with Ubuntu supposed to know this? This is the problem with most linux distros: they assume too much knowledge. Things that seem blindingly obvious once you know them, but have to be told to a person at least once before they can know.
In that picture, the program being run is an existing tabletPC program called "ArtRage." It's actually a really cool app, which takes full advantage of the pressure sensitivity feature of the tablet digitizer.
You must relise that there is no actual cost difference to Microsoft, it's just about value perception.
Well, that's true insomuch as the costs are already sunk. But giving customers the ability to opt out of paying back on those sunk costs is real and legitimate value to the customer.
I actually think it will result in less confusion. Currently, consumers are give a choice of Home, Professional, and Media Center. This division is not exactly intuitive, especially given that many home users want Professional. This new structure seems designed to split the home and business market, and provide two main choices for each.
Under the new arrangement, you will choose from Home Basic and Home Premium if you are a home user. And if you are a nerd and want to run a domain in your house, you get Ultimate. Pretty straightforward. If you are a business user, you choose from Business or Enterprise, or, if you want your employees to be able to use their computers for personal activities, Ultimate.
Yes, because there will be some graphical hardware requirements for the Aero interface that not everybody can or cares to meet. This gives them the opportunity to not have to pay for a graphical interface they can't or don't want to use.
Did you know that on OSX if you don't like Safari you can uninstall it?
Yes, but it doesn't uninstall WebKit, does it? Likewise, you can uninstall IE through "Add/Remove Windows Components," or by ACL, but people still bitch because it leaves the trident rendering engine.
Chinese plans are 5, 10, 15 and 50 year plans. They are far reaching and already they show that foreward thinking allows them to trump the mighty Amurikah.
Indeed, and what energy source are they pushing in a big way? Nuclear.
I am sorry my friend, truly I am.
This is nonsense. Because an unelected communist regime - which we here opposed - committed atrocities in another part of the world, then our elected officials want to kill millions of us? You have my pity for having such a terrifying world view.
Huh? I don't think I said that. I was pointing out an answer to the question, "how should I go about upgrading to 2.0" of "you should have used something else/switch to something else" is not answering the question that was asked.
He doesn't HAVE to upgrade at all! He's voluntarily decided to upgrade to a new version of an existing product.
Not only that, but for all the bitching about terrible Ask Slashdot questions, all the answers are answering the question they wished he would have asked instead of the one he actually did ask. Totally unhelpful!
It's one of the items listed under "Add/Remove Windows Components." It seems rather pointless to me, of course. Having IE on your system doesn't do anything to prevent you from using some other browser as your default browser.

You're right, I didn't look close enough! Good catch.

Huh? You might want to think about upgrading from Windows 98. The NT line has a great security model that hardly anybody uses.
Can't you just set the permissions on mshtml.dll to deny? I mean, it'll break stuff, but it sounds like that what's you want.
Vista Home Basic comes preloaded on their new computer. Windows XP does not.
Well, that's true insomuch as the costs are already sunk. But giving customers the ability to opt out of paying back on those sunk costs is real and legitimate value to the customer.

Perhaps, but it's a moot point as Apple will not license the use of their patented DRM.

I guess they really are the BMW of mp3 players.

I disagree. The "web" has no mission whatsoever. It is anarchy, glorious anarchy. Do what you will.
Note he didn't say which government. http://images.google.cn/images?q=tiananmen
Yes, even Lore couldn't get away in the end.
It's a tricorder?
No, he's not saying that. He is saying that progress actually is still taking place. Decline is not automatic either.
Nope. One was acquitted and the others plead guilty to misdemeanors and will get a couple of months at most, most likely no time at all.
